What would Suika be like if she wasn't drunk?

[Agent of the BSoD]

As the title says.
I seriously haven't that much of a clue what she would be like if she didn't have her sake. My best guess would be that she would be very observant. Though that's not really not enough to describe her, that's all I have.
What would you say she would be like?

(reason I made this: playing Hisoutensoku, suika vs. yuyuko :V)

[dustyjo]

She'd still be just as cute.

[nintendonut888]

She's observant anyway? Go and play Suika's scenario in IaMP.

It's kind of hard to get a grasp on Suika's character, because despite her being constantly drunk she's a lot more intelligent and insightful than much of the fandom believes. I think if she were sober she'd be more focused, but I can't think of much beyond that.

[Luneth]

Well.. Freaking out over not having sake/being drunk itself. It's been a large amount of years since she's been sober. Since she "Gets stronger the more drunk she is", I imagine she'd be less aggressive a fighter, or maybe even just worse at it. She might figure a few things out she wasn't able to comprehend while she was drunk, but I'm pretty sure no matter what happened she'd wine until she got her sake back.


...Lol, I seriously just spelled that wrong on accident. Funny though.

[Helepolis]

PMiSS reports: " その為、素面の彼女は見たという報告も無い。 As a result, there are no reports of her behaviour when sober. "

I guess if she is not drunk, she would stop saying this:









Which is bad, so drunk Suika is fine.

[HakureiSM]

Guess considering her being used to being drunk for so long, she'd probably go into a lack-of-alcohol induced coma or something.

[Stuffman]

She'd probably just be grumpy and irritable. And thus more dangerous.

Being an oni, drinking really doesn't decrease her physical or mental faculties in any way, in fact she's one of the smartest girls, so I wouldn't expect being sober to give her any improvements.

For some reason the first thing I thought of was the robots in Futurama and imagining Suika being "blind, stinking sober".

[Whatthe]

If Suika did (however briefly) sober up, Yuugi would never let her live it down.

Very much this. That is why she is my favorite character, after all.

I also agree that she would simply be in a bad mood. Actually, since this would mean that she lost her magic bottle, depending on how she lost it she would either be depressed or filled with righteous fury. 

[Smok, destroyer of thoughts]

I agree with the bad mood version. Also... IMAGINE THAT HANGOVER!

[Tengukami]

Suika would turn into this guy:

Well let's ask an alcoholic, what would they do if they had their booze taken away?

[Wisp]

Oh shit.

If she weren't drunk, I think Suika would be smarter, more alert, more focused, etc. Not as agressive as a fighter, but more "calm and collected." She'd still be just as cute and adorable, though.

[Helepolis]

Commit robbery to get money to buy new booze.

Edit: oh wait, they could steal the booze but guess not bright enough for that?

[Kyo Tanaka]

She wouldn't be harassing Reimu as much


She sets out on a quest for sake.

[orinrin]

She would die and fade out of existence.

[Tiamat]

Suika's already really smart and alert, though.  (and in some cases, focused, if she has a particular task she wants to do)

Heck, her dialogues in all official works tend to be more coherent (and brutally honest) than the vast majority of Touhou characters.  Granted, lots of people when they're drunk get really REALLY brutally honest, I've noticed (which is probably done by ZUN on purpose, then)

It's generally stated that oni hold their alchohol really well.  So I suppose the end result is that Suika loses all social inhibitions (which is why she just flat out states impolite-but-honest criticisms to everyones' face.  Again, I've seen drunk people do this often) but still doesn't become a complete loon, contrary to her battle animations.

[Agent of the BSoD]

What I meant to say was that she would become MORE observant, though my chosen words weren't the best. :V

Maybe ZUN's reason for making Suika is to have a character love alcohol as much as he does. (though Suika has more) Oh ZUN...

[Whatthe]

Indeed, the real question is: What would ZUN be like if he wasn't drunk?

[Agent of the BSoD]

Well, he most likely is drunk most of the time while he makes his games (since he's very fond of beer) so if he weren't, the games might be slightly easier. (which would be nice considering SA)

I hope his funny side wouldn't disappear though. That's the side we like. (and the loli's too)

[Iryan]

The games would get much worse.

[Agent of the BSoD]

The games would get much worse.

"Remember Windows ME?" lol yes. Thankfully, I don't really know anything about that system. Also, Windows Vista and 98 should be in that list too.
Speaking of which, I have a Windows 98. It sucks! I'll just say that now. (freaking partitioned drives. C drive has a whole 8 gb, and that is as much as you can give it)

Oops, I changed the topic. :V

I got a Win95 somewhere in the house. Oh I'm so old school :V

She would be harassing Reimu even more for sake

[Agent of the BSoD]

Has to be better than 98 though. Due to the partitioned drives (C AND D) it causes memory problems. Windows 98 SE (think this applies to the original version too) can only accept up to 8 GB for the C drive, the primary one. While on D, mine has 25 GB there, and only like 2 GB are actually used. My C drive is practically out of memory, so not much can be installed on there now, since programs go there, unless it's Touhou, where I can move wherever I want.
Darn drunk programmers...

So who could program a better operating system?Suika or ZUN?

[Savory]

She'd be one sober oni.

[Agent of the BSoD]

Probably Suika, provided she knew how to do that. Though ZUN doesn't know how to program an OS most likely. If it's seriousness, can I choose neither?
