Oh dear. I forsee great chaos. Any From Soft / Elden Ring fans wanna chime in?

We need another armored core formula front entry, this time using 6th gen ACs.

Having another blue nine-ball that has zero relevance to the story on the boxart cover is mandatory.

Bruh the only hard boss in base game ER is malenia. And yeah while absolutely she falls into all the categories the artist listed, every other boss has those mechanics except toned down by like a hundred. They’re nowhere near as fast, combo’y, (except for maliketh but he has like no health) or have self heal like malenia. That’s what made her so infamous. Giving a 3/10 rating for a game because of a single optional boss is kinda ridiculous.

Don't need to dodge if your enemy is perma-staggered. taps forehead

Not to mention how insanely satisfying it is to finally get your opponents moveset down and dodge everything they throw at you. The latter half of my attempts at Malenia I managed to pass through phase 1 while taking no damage at all, no matter what she threw at me. I mean you can literally run away from some of her attacks, you don't even need to dodge them. If you know what you're doing, even Waterfowl dance becomes trivial to dodge.

4 things: High vigor, High DMG, Ironjar aromatic, Endure. Endure is a way OP skill and ye get it at the start in the warmaster's shack. With a build of such things most bosses become trivial, you can even better it and add bleed or other stuff as seen with this example below:

I am useless at parrying and dodging, sekiro was a hard lesson for me yet it's amazing the options that ER gives you when it comes to damage negation.

Pretty sure using the only boss where that's a major issue, and saying the game go from 3 to 9 over just the dodging mechanic is just typical "comedic bad faith exaggerating". The actual point is just the artist don't like dodging and prefer parrying.
Personally, from what little I have played of both game, I've found ER good.

The base model (or just the head idk) is made by armadillon, specifically this one https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/3598612. The costume (or body idk how this works) is from the kaoru_(gensou_yuugen-an) model.

Can't unsee large badonkers instead arms!

You can disable embed notes (edit -> uncheck embed notes) if you don't want the notes to cover the image

That's about 167 Touhous I can name and even know by heart.

I want to know the names of the small blonde and pink-haired chick with the black bow between Mugetsu and Shinki, the praying fairy in front of Kotohime and also who's the brunette in a green dress behind Akyu and Rinosuke.

That's pink-haired_makai_resident_(touhou) and blonde_makai_resident_(touhou)

I have no idea too. No one of minor characters on Touhou wiki seems to have similar design.

So basically they're left nameless and are generically referred as just the "Makai Residents". I'll name them "Pixie" and "Demonica" instead (like how I name the jacket girl "Jackie" and the label girl "Labelle").

I have no idea too. No one of minor characters on Touhou wiki seems to have similar design.

My best guess is that she's likely the artist's original character (OC).

The one above kotohime is the wish granting fairy from touhou 1’s endings !

Not sure if it's intentional, but I dig how the Shadow Queen's crown looks like a glaring eye.

I believe that the 3rd to last peach might be from that old Super Mario japanese animated cartoon where she's marrying some Prince. Her hair was shorter there.

Peach with the parasol might be from Super Princess Peach, where the parasol was her (magic) weapon of choice.

NO HOLDING THE HANDS OF LITTLE GIRLS

NO HOLDING THE HANDS OF LITTLE GIRLS

Do you want your daughter to get run over by a car? Because that's how you get your daughter ran over by a car.
Hold your kids, people. For the love whatever god you follow, hold your kids.

Danbooruobsess said:

Why are people disliking this comment.. are y’all okay? 😨

Probably because it comes off as dumb, especially given the points by FRien. Though I think we're misunderstanding what Bleeni was referencing. I suspect they were responding to the sign in the image which is saying no to them holding hands.

This picture is just epic!

Poor Meiko..

Changing copytag because this isn't specifically Bassline Yatteru, it's the cover of 4orce!, the album by Nanahira + Camellia

Wait, is this supposed to be crossdressing or genderbend?

I'd lean toward genderswap given the artist commentary having a female symbol in it.

Solution:

So Kyouko belongs to a church, which doesn't demand celibacy from it's priests?

Well, just like Kotomine Kirei.

In japan, a monk can get married and have children, so perhaps they do find the idea of religious person being forced to give up sex/marriage forever as too weird and for that reason perhaps they sometimes portray priests getting married or having a romantic interest.

Is only my personal theory, however.

Her father evidently did.
