What If Reimu Was In Smash? (Moveset Ideas: 67) 

“She’s gonna complain about it the whole time, but she gets it done!” Story of my goddamn LIFE.

Imagine Reimu gets in, and then someone trying to identify where all of her individual Smash moves comes from has to embark on a decade long research jaunt into every Touhou game, spin-off, fan game, animation, idol show, etc.

Reimu is my most wanted character so seeing this in my recommended made me really happy.

*"Name a character that went through more pain than her, I'll wait"* The dude that gets grabbed and beaten by the what if characters: 👁️_👁️

Me when everybody is saying Reimu is an anime character: *Banging my head on a table while Lunar Clock Luna Dial plays in the background*

This lacks Persuasion Needles... Oh well. I'll request Reimu's best buddy Marisa and the childish vampire Remilia, since you've opened up the can of worms of the Touhou series.

The touhou characters wouldn't be complete without marisa and sakuya(which is a living jojo reference)

The live chat is just as upset as Reimu when she has to solve an incident.

That bit at the end about Touhou's fanbase is so accurate - it's easy to attribute it to ZUN saying that you can do whatever you want with his properties as long as you don't spoil the endings, but I think it's more than that. Sure, the main Touhou games are rough - midi music, sub-par sprites and a difficulty wall harder to overcome than Berlin's - but the foundation it creates: remixes of the music, interpretations of the character art, fan games; these wouldn't exist without the solid foundation built by ZUN. Touhou is probably Japan's biggest Indie series and a cultural icon there, it's strongly kept its relevancy because of the fans. I think Reimu should be the Indie fighter in Ultimate. Thank you for listening to my TED talk Edit: Forgot to say I loved the video and the only thing I disagree with is the alt costumes - I believe it'd be cool for them to have the colour schemes of other playable characters in the Mainline games - Marisa, Sakuya, Cirno, Remilia, Reisen, Youmu Request: Black Mage - Final Fantasy

Touhou stage Plankton: Yes... Touhou character Plankton: Yes! Touhou music Plankton: YEEEEEEESSSSS!!

Brawlfan: "You CAN live through her Final Smash, but that would need insane luck and skill" Metal Sonic Down B: *SKEDADDLE SKIDOODLE, YOU FINAL SMASH IS NOW A NOODLE*

The Touhou Project started as one man making games that he want to play and just boom in popular in the window era. With a ever growning casts of girls with open end for fans to fill in themselves and with Zun be chill about how people uses his characters with a few rules. It a very beautiful thing seeing how this series grown. Request Marisa (Touhou Project) can't have Reimu without Marisa Nero (Devil may cry 5) Majima (Yakuza)

I seen so many people asking for Reimu, but I've never played any of her games. I'm kinda on board now

Joke request: Lightning McQueen (Cars) Interestingtly, the first Cars video game came out BEFORE the first movie. Not joking.

I would give her the PC-98 costume as an alt, and for her victory animations, one where she presents her donation box to the camera with a smile like saying "I won, can I get a donation?" an after a minute or something she changes her expression to "7n7" Nice job, dude, hopefully some day Reimu will join the fight, a man can dream

Ahhh, the white alt is gonna give people flashbacks to Concealed the Conlusion. Good stuff 😁 Also, one of the reasons to want Reimu in smash is the music. The amount of bangers the Touhou franchise has is unbelievable!

For those saying it's Henry stickmin BJ already confirmed on his twitter that it's not. Movesets take months to make, he can't just rush one out

My request: The guy you always use for the grabbing animations Do what you want with him Edit:God darn he didn't get in

Welp time to learn more about Touhou than I ever have in my life.

I honestly would love to see more Touhou characters in this series, especially the Scarlet sisters. I'd love to see how you'd handle them

Also the number of people calling her anime in the live chat made me sad :(

Sometimes characters can be obvious inclusions, and sometimes not. Today was a mixture of both in a sense! Touhou is basically an unofficial series that runs on it's fans alone, and that's possibly the best kind of community, similar to TF2 and FNAF. Much better than communities that rely on whether or not something is good, balanced, or a business deal anyway. I don't know much about the Touhou games, but I'm a huge supporter of Reimu in Smash, and with 5 more challenger packs, who knows? Maybe Sakurai will join that community as well... I'll stick to mainly Japanese characters for this weeks requests. I'm sure you know Ninja Gaiden's popularity across the world, and it's culturally brilliant protagonist Ryu at the center of it all. He would share a name with Street Fighter's character, but hey, we have 2 Roys. I've also gotta mention Godzilla again if it's Japanese heroes. People love him like a pop-star, and I don't blame them! There's also countless Pokemon based on Yo-Kai, such as Electabuzz or Dusknoir, or maybe even another Yo-Kai Watch fighter like Enma or Insomni. The choices are limitless over on the culture-behemoth of a peninsula that is Japan! Whatever your choices be, Reimu was a great one, no doubt, and you handled her so well! We'll be patiently awaiting whether or not she's in or not, as well as the next episode of this. Best wishes till nest week!

You should make "what If Marisa kirisame was in smash"

Jibanyan: Exists Reimu: *Your free trial of being a youkai has ended.*

Alright here are my requests for characters: Henry Stickmin: I'm hoping his move-set would be as crazy as Hero. Cynthia from Pokemon: We gotta get a Trainer move-set for a Pokemon Champion (also if I may specifically request her Pokemon; there's Garchomp and Spiritomb). Hong Meiling/Sakuya from Touhou Project: Cause I already requested Reimu Hakurei and they (well Meiling specifically) are my fav from the series. Finally.... uhhh actually, while I do have one more specific request, I'm EXTREMELY hesitant to request this character due to... touchy circumstances (It's NOT an H-game character don't worry) mostly due to the infamy outside their game of origin. Maybe I'll mention the character by name and give my reasoning long after this vid is uploaded. EDIT: Wow this comment got more attention than I thought it would... all the more hesitant to mention the character in question. Edit 2: I guess I'll finally say the character in question It's Ayano Aishi (AKA Yandere-Chan). I mostly request her due to her potential gimmick, that is to say her sanity mechanic, would make for a unique move-set. I was hesitant because of the amount drama and controversy surrounding YanSim, of which I don't want any part of nor do I want to potentially get into a flame war. (Also for those who thought I WAS requesting an H-game character, please re-read that part of my comment.)

ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL My wishlist : -Marisa Kirisame (Touhou Project) -Mima (Touhou Project) -Zero (Megaman Zero) -Ashe/Grey (Megaman ZX Advent) -The Empress (Dragon :Marked for Death) -Mawile (Pokemon) -Protagonist (Persona 3) -Flynn (Shin Megami Tensei IV) -Protagonist (Shin Megami Tensei Strange Journey) -Alex (Shin Megami Tensei Strange Journey Redux) -Protagonist (Shin Megami Tensei V) -Peacock (Skullgirls) -Laharl (Disgaea) -Prinny (Disgaea) -Lyndis (Fire Emblem 7) -Tiki (Fire Emblem) -Soma Cruz (Castlevania) -Shanoa (Castlevania) -Alucard (Castlevania) -Kris (Deltarune) -Hornet (Hollow Knight) -Grimm (Hollow Knight) -Oersted (Live A Live) -Therion (Octopath Traveler) -Cyrus (Octopath Traveler)

i dont care if its reimu, i want a touhou rep. other fitting characters would be sakuya or marisa, but reimu kinda is the main touhou girl.

I never expected Touhou in here. Though she has a lot of moves.

When she comes to smash I’ll get a switch no cap

Honestly, with how important Touhou has been for the history of indie games and fan game development (considering that Undertale wouldn’t exist without it, among other games), I believe that Reimu has more than earned a place in Smash. Also, ZUN is a freaking beast. Making games by himself since the 90’s is crazy. Requests: Dante (Devil May Cry) Monokuma (Danganronpa) Sol Badguy (Guilty Gear) Nightmare (Soul Calibur) Monika (DDLC) Magolor (Kirby) Basically any Rhythm Heaven character Fawful (Mario and Luigi) Hades (Kid Icarus Uprising) Lana (Hyrule Warriors) Wonder-Red (Wonderful 101) Akira Howard (Astral Chain) Captain Syrup (Wario Land) Filia (Skullgirls) 2B (Nier: Automata) - A2 Echo Travis Touchdown (No More Heroes) - Henry Echo

Some movesets I'd like to see: Toriel (Undertale) Amy Rose (Sonic the Hedgehog) Blaze the Cat (My Favorite Sonic Character) Solder (TF2) Gooey (Kirby) Ninten (Mother) Tree-Rex (Skylanders) Unova Trainer with Tepig, Dewott and Serperior Cynthia (Pokemon) with Garchomp, Roserade and Another (Milotic, Spiritomb or Gastrodon) Kalos Trainer with Froakie, Braixen and Chesnaught Alola Trainer with Popplio, Torracat and Decidueye Galar Trainer with Sobble, Raboot and Rillaboom Kamek (Yoshi's Island) Skull Kid (Zelda) Magolor (Kirby) Dark Matter (Kirby) Masked Man (Mother) Dr. Zomboss (Plants vs Zombies) The Devil (Cuphead) Kaos (Skylanders)

i saw this while talking a break from a commission and saw this video, here was my reaction "I am officially taking a break. Who the hell is Reimu."

Predictions: Goat from goat simulator because goats go blaaaaah/bleeeeh Requests: Fawful,Antasma-M+L Riki,Melia,Dunban,Metal Face,Alvis,Dickson-Xenoblade Aang,Toph,Sokka,Zuko-ATLA Luffy-One Piece(there are games so more likely this than aang) Vez’Nan,King Denas-Kingdom Rush Dr Zomboss-PvZ Red-Angry birds

The intro just gave me an hearth attack Amazing job

Personally with Reimu, I feel like with the gigantic plethora of characters each with extremely unique character designs, there’s a ton of fun that could be had with alternate skins referencing the other youkai and and inhabitants of Gensokyo besides the default color change

alternative title: What If Jigglypuff was a Belmont?

Request: Red (Angry Birds) His design would come from the movie and His moves would be a mix between the games and the 2 movies He would be a lightweight character, Have 2 jumps and be able to crawl And as a joke request: Hank Hill

Snatcher (a hat in time) Kris (deltarune) Ralsei(deltarune) Susie (deltarune) Conducter with dj grooves as an echo Red (angry birds) Fall guy (fall guys)

God I've wanted Reimu... She'd be so goddang OP And the MUSIC

Honestly, I want someone from Touhou to get into Smash just because of the music.

I'd love to see you make a moveset video of Dr. Coyle from ARMS

I actually like it when BrawlFan1 makes movesets for more obscure characters, because then people can learn more about different characters, instead of cashing in on a dead meme like Henry Stickman.

A few requests for some unconventional characters who need some love: -Chell (Portal, lots of room for shenanigans) -Ninten (Mother 1) -Conker (Conker's bad fur day) -Morgana (Persona 5) -Skullkid (Legend of Zelda: Majora's mask) -Mae (Night in the woods) -Madaline (Celeste) - Cadence (Crypt of the Necro-dancer) - Sam and Max (Sam and Max series) And finally, a character from a game that everyone has played, -T-rex (Google chrome offline dinosaur game) These may seem a bit strange, but I think they'd all be really fun!

She's not in Smash because she doesn't wanna fight. She got herself an invitation, she's just too lazy. Next thing you know, Marisa will be dragging Reimu to Smash Bros by hand.

WAIT GUYS It's not the rabbids That's what he wants us to think

Great job on the moveset! I don't see many people making moveset concepts for her so it's nice see.

I actually was imagining Reimu to be a more projectile heavy character. Like fill the entire screen with projectile heavy. HEAR ME OUT. Just like in the fighting games, Reimu's projectiles have a special property unique only to her. They can be grazed. As long as you are dashing you are immune to all projectiles on screen from Reimu. This will put a unique spin to the projectile zoner archetype. A reimu will have to consider when and where to throw her curtain of bullets, or else the opponent can literally just unga bunga into her. In all the official fighting games so far, all characters can dash through projectiles to "graze" them. Spending meter to do so. Without that mechanic, the projectiles in those games would literally be impossible to deal with and everyone would just hug the end of the screen while spamming projectiles. In the original games, grazing is a mechanic which rewards risk taking courageous players for doing "near misses" with points. To graze you gotta get real close to those bullets to rack up high scores. Encouraging you into doing wreckless things and is also a teaching tool that teaches players how to play touhou properly. To move as economically as possible rather than zooming blindly around the screen. The grazing in the fighting games if implenented in smash does the same thing. Encourage Reimu and her opponents into playing recklessly, dashing towards Reimu to avoid her projectiles, knowing Reimu can proceed to body you once you get close enough by your willingly approaching her. Projectiles can be used to lure opponents into Reimu where as foolish reimus or simply smart opponents can use Reimu's projectiles against her to approach.

Reimu’s Up Special: deals more damage the more projectiles are absorbed Stored Power in Pokémon: *Ah, I see you’re a man of culture as well.*

I bet it’ll be the Rabbids. Edit: I was far off. Great video on Reimu ^^ For characters I like to suggest: Gordon Freeman from Half-Life Raiden form Metal Gear Demi-Fiend from SMT Vault Dweller from Fallout Dragonborn from Elder Scrolls Chosen Undead from Dark Souls Saber from Fate/EXTRA

And another really weird idea.. The Rockman Killers, they’d behave similarly to Pokémon trainer

A great move set all around speaking as someone that enjoys the series a fair bit. My only major criticisms is I feel Reimu should use more projectiles in tandem with her physical attacks in her regular moves...and the fact that her PC-98 design not being an alternate color/costume is a massive crime towards humanity and you should feel bad for its exclusion

"Kifu shite kudasai (Please donate)" - Reimu Hakurei

I know everyone thinks it’s Rabbids, but aren’t they more of a ‘bwaaa’? Also please do Yacker the Wisp from Sonic Colors! You could use wisp powers for the attacks

everyone get reimu’ed

Her Palutena Guidance is either the intruder one or the Skyworld trio discussing spellcards when she chimes in and complains about fighting more goddesses

what about an alt that resembles PC-98 Reimu

It could be Fawful, he _is_ quite a weirdo... Nah, it's -Rabbids.- Oh hi ToeHoe. I wonder who the next "BLAAA" will be? Still waiting for my mustard of doom...

I haven't done this in awhile so requests - Magolor - Unova Trainer - Hades from Kid Icarus - Monokuma - Ragna the Bloodedge - Fawful - Makoto Yuki - Lana from Hyrule Warriors - The Conductor from Hat in Time - Dante from the Devil May Cry series

The only time Reimu's ever been motivated to do stuff is when she was way younger (PC-98) and when the Hakurei Shrine gets destroyed by someone who has no idea how pissed she gets (in this case, twice) Edit: Its actually 3 times if you count the fact she gets the shrine destroyed again at the end of Touhou 1 by a joke.

I learned quite a lot from this video. Never in my life would i have known touhou originated as a breakout clone, so it's interesting to learn that the series evolved the way it did. Mad props, my dude As for requests, why not someone like monokuma from danganropa? It'd be interesting to see a moveset for a visual novel character

«BLAAAAAAAAA»? Sounds like a Rabbid.

I would really like henry stickmen he has so many options for moves bc there are so many options in the games his smash could be he flies in with the toppat clan or the military and they start raining bullets down on screen but if u want to do a meme I would suggest he does the distraction dance and it makes all foes fall asleep or charles will fly and crash into the arena doing massive knockback

_"No Marisas were harmed in the making of this video"_

MY GIRL!!! Hands down, she's my top pick!

Ideas: - Zote the Mighty (Hollow Knight) - Radiance (Hollow Knight) - Marionette (FNAF) - Dark Matter (Kirby) - Napstablook (Undertale) - King Knight (Shovel Knight) - Grovyle (Pokemon / Mystery Dungeon) - Kris (Deltarune) - Gaster (He could use a combination of Sans and Papyrus's attacks, and also some of the Amalgamates attacks) - Monk Maz Koshia (LoZ) - Master Kohga (LoZ) - Bill [Placeholder] (Good Job!) Zote moveset: *A Attacks* Jab: Swings nail up and down as a rapid jab Dash Attack: Tries to lunge, ends up stumbling over, whole body is a hitbox _Tilts:_ S: Jabs head forwards U: Swings head from side to side D: Pokes at ground _Smashes:_ S: Summons a volatile Zoteling, which explodes directly in front of him U: Protrudes body upwards, extending his hurtbox D: Pathetic attempt to perform cyclone slash _Aerials:_ N: Flails about violently F: Swings head forwards B: Double kick behind U: Headbutt in an arc, like Lucas D: Falls directly downwards *Grabs:* Zote grabs relatively normally Pummel: Headbutts F: Tackles into foe, sending them forwards B: Suplex throw, a bit like Kirby U: Throws them upwards before poking them with horns D: Falls onto opponent *Specials:* N: Zoteling summon Zote will summon 1 Zoteling, be it a leaping or flying one. Zote will only be able to summon one, but it doesn't take very long to put one of them in the match. If they take 20% of damage, they die. They are not able to despawn by themselves, and they do 5 damage per hit. S: Throws Zoteling This attack explains itself. If you are near a Zoteling, he will throw it, allowing it to travel much farther. If he is near a fighter, he will throw them, dealing a bit of damage to them while also doing very little knockback. U: Zoteling Carry A winged Zoteling will appear above Zote, acting like the Duck Hunt Duo duck. Like the aforementioned duo, the move acts exactly like that. D: Essence collection If you've beaten the whole game of Hollow Knight, you may know that Zote actually has 2 forms, that being Zote the Mighty and Grey Prince Zote. If you know that, you probably know what happens now. However, you have to collect essence to use this. You have to collect 100 essence to transform into GPZ, meaning you need to land 100 hits. It does not matter who you attack, the essence meter fills regardless. *Gimmicks:* GPZ will be significantly fast and heavier. His attacks also now do a *_LOT_* more damage and knockback. _List of the moves that changed:_ Dash attack: Now turns into a mobile version of jab Stilt: Swings nails from high to low Usmash: Jumps upwards, and then falls down, slamming his nail into the ground to summon a powerful shockwave which only goes up Dsmash: Falls through floor, then falls from ceiling, creating 2 small shockwaves when he lands Nair: Sticks out limbs instead of flailing Fthrow: Backhands foe Uthrow: Suplex throw, like King K. Rool Dthrow: Jumps into floor, then crashes into opponent from above Nspecial: Changes to a spit and can now summon 3 Zotelings Sspecial: Can throw stuff much further Uspecial: Large jump upwards, on a scale similar to Dedede's *Final Smash:* _Eternal Ordeal and the 57 precepts:_ Zote will let out a large roar, catching anyone near enough. This will then turn to a cinematic where an abnormal amount of Zotelings stampede the opponent, ending with the head of Zote, with Zote riding it, will crash into the opponent, doing massive damage. If the opponent is at exactly 57% when the smash ends, they will be automatically KOed.

Still want Henry Stickmin video Final Smash: "Alright Henry I'm going to run my helicopter into that fighter"

It would be crazy if she has a passive that allows her to graze projectiles and the actual hurtbox is like a really tiny circle in the middle of her torso.

*FINALLY!!!* I thought you would never do Touhou. Now you should do Marisa and Youmu, as well.

About time you do a moveset on the Tohou series, especially Reimu. Haven't played the games yet, but I am already enjoying what the fanbase made for the series.

Hopefully Next episode What if Sonic the Werehog was in Smash What if Android 21 was in Smash What if Infinte was in Smash Now... What is Sakuya was in Smash

I'm really happy to see this video. Reimu is my favorite character and Touhou is my favorite series, so of course I would love to see them in Smash. I think that Reimu would have a special gimmick like a lot of the other DLC characters. I think she would have a "grazing" mechanic. It would work like a combination of the grazing mechanic from the bullet hell games, and the power-up system from those same games. She would start out with weak or simple attacks, but her attacks would get stronger or more complex if she keeps narrowly avoiding damage. Just one correction though, the fangames are NOT canon. ZUN allows his fans to make their own Touhou content and sell them, but they're not official or anything. Like, it's not like he works with them on the games and they don't have to ask him for permission either. He pretty much just lets his fans do almost whatever they want. He's great like that.

You do not believe how much I want you to do Arle

This moveset is amazing, but hot diggity dang was that Ibuki sprite a shocker in a good way!! Makes sense since Ibuki is my favorite Danganronpa character of all time (not counting fangames of course)!! You seriously need to do a Monokuma and/or Ibuki Mioda moveset, you coward!! :P (I`m not trying to be mean, the coward part is more of a joke.)

time to dump ideas! *marisa kirisame (touhou) *sakuya izayoi (touhou) *madeline (celeste) *kiran (fire emblem) *micaiah (fire emblem) *anna (fire emblem) *henry stickmin (uhh)

imagine touhou music in smash. man i would love that

... Now that I watch the chat... I feel sad that the mean people is bullying Reimu, it’s makes me feel to close my “third eye”...

I had no clue what a Reimu was, but I want her in Smash because she and my boy Quote are the epitome of indie characters.

I’d like Gooey, I explained why in a comment on the Springtrap video, but I’d also like another TF2 class (Soldier is my preference), Baby from FNAF and Amy Rose from Sonic

It's worth mentioning that the entry in the Guinness World Records is a mistranslation. The original word "doujin" more accurately translates to "self-published" or "indie" in this context. The mistake comes from the fact that most doujin works tend to be based on other properties, however original doujin works like Touhou do exist.

I’ve been waiting for this one for a LONG time! I imagine that the initial thumbnail was a reference to how you would scream in rage when losing the game after getting so far! (Or the video “Touhou players provide a realistic simulation of life in Gensokyo”)

Bet everyone who thought it was Rabbids feel stupid know

I wasn't expecting to see Reimu at all, but I absolutely love it! Since she isn't that known among western audiences, its great to see stuff like this :D

For Reimu's second taunt, she will say "Oto Saiano" which is "I will even the odds" in Japanese, a reference to how her job as a hakure maid to even the relation between Yokais and humans.

With the recent Mii Fighter reveals, Reimu HAS NOT been knocked out of the potential lineup! Holding out for final character!

OK im absolutely positive they are the rabbids from rayman as always, my requests are: henry stickmin and jotaro kujo and i also have new requests RED (angry birds) engineer (team fortress 2) and as a joke request BEN 10 (ben 10) also, what the hell happened to the stream? edit:ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? REIMU!? WHO THE HELL ASKED FOR HER!? (no offense, just slight dissapointment) Wait a second..... OH SHIT HE SET THAT THUMBNAIL ON PORPUSE!

I've got a few requests: -Amy Rose (Sonic) -Blaze the Cat (Sonic) -The Spade King (Deltarune) -Makoto Naegi/Nagito Komaeda (Danganronpa) -Magolor (Kirby) -Vector The Crocodile (Sonic) -Dracovish (Pokémon) -Hades (Kid Icarus) -Hatterene (Pokémon) -Grimmsnarl (Pokémon) -Dragapult (Pokémon) -Henry Stickmin

Awesome! Thank you so much! This character has so many potencial! thanks BrawlFan1! :D

For Reimu's classic mode, she fights all the projectile-heavy characters, simulating a Danmaku experience. Round 1: Duck Hunt Round 2: Simon and Richter Round 3: Ness and Lucas Round 4: Two Dark Samuses (regular Samus will assist) Round 5: Dark Link, Dark Young Link, Dark Toon Link Round 6: Eight Mii Gunners Boss: Dracula

I had no idea the first Touhou game was a brick breaker. This series is just fascinating.

A mysterious man in a white hood and cape with a black business suit underneath enters the Hakurei shrine, somehow passing the barrier and sees Reimu on the roof of the shrine. “Are you Reimu Hakurei, the current guardian of this shrine?” Reimu, wondering who this man is says she is and what does he want with her. The man reaches into his pocket and pulls out something and throws it at her. “An acquaintance of mine asked me to deliver that to you. Well, that’s all. Farewell.” He then leaves. Wondering what it is, Reimu takes a closer look at the object and sees it is an envelope with a very familiar seal on it.

i have been waiting for this since i found this series!!

Nice video! The moveset looks really fun

Request: Michael Jackson, like the one from MoonWalker

Thanks for doing an episode on Reimu! This was very well made and with good research and thoughts behind everything. Though I would personally not use things that are only in fangames.

Reimu: (TF2 Engineer Voice) Buildin' a sentry.

Reimu’s final smash: taste the rainbow 🌈

What If Flandre Scarlet Was In Smash?

Reimu for smash!!!

Nice! We got some TouHou! Still waiting on Magus of Chrono Trigger, but all of your moveset ideas are always exciting to watch!

I want Reimu in Smash, and this is a cool moveset for her. A moveset for Monokuma (Danganronpa) would be cool as well. Nice use of that Ibuki Mioda sprite, btw lol.
