In between discussions of what's hot and what's not in competitive I figured I want to share some things I discovered that are useless to know, but are nonetheless interesting.
The Faith/Reason/Heart triangle (plus the Dark type)
Almost everyone who plays Touhoumon 1.8 probably knows this, but it's more than just the new Grass/Fire/Water; it's also a damn clever relationship between three things.
Consequently,
Outside of the triangle, the Dark type represents fighting dirty, deception and trickery. Dark beats Reason because trickery subverts logic and beats Dream because Dark basically is cheating in a fight to win.
What's with AKazami's wings?
It's easy to tell that CKazami is PC-98 Yuuka with pajamas as seen in LLS stage 5.
Its prized shard evolution AKazami sports some weird leafy wings. Why?
It's a Seihou reference. In one of the games she has a cameo appearance; in there she sports an odd mishmash of PC-98, Windows and original characteristics.
One character, multiple faces
Touhou characters often have many different interpretations and depictions, and in this game Natures, two sprites and moves can only go so far in representing them. Which is why different forms' different attributes extends to the sprites as well. For example,
CTewi is a cute little bunny that may hold a Lucky Egg, representing her ability to bring good fortune...
...but if you let her evolve by level, she becomes Tewi the trickster rabbit, as represented by her Beast/Dark typing.
Evolving her by D shard goes right back to the "good fortune" angle, with a portion of "good natured" as well, as evidenced by her Beast/Heart typing.
The Faith/Reason/Heart triangle (plus the Dark type)
Almost everyone who plays Touhoumon 1.8 probably knows this, but it's more than just the new Grass/Fire/Water; it's also a damn clever relationship between three things.
- Faith represents belief
- Reason represents logic and knowledge
- Heart represents emotion and feelings
Consequently,
- Knowledge disproves beliefs (Reason beats Faith)
- Emotions override logic (Heart beats Reason)
- Belief influences and controls emotions (Faith beats Heart)
Outside of the triangle, the Dark type represents fighting dirty, deception and trickery. Dark beats Reason because trickery subverts logic and beats Dream because Dark basically is cheating in a fight to win.
