Hmm... This looks fun. Looks like it's time to dust off my Twitch account and see what these guys are capable of this time around.

Wouldn't team japan have an advantage due to not playing during the night?

I can't even imagine the amount of lag this is going to have.

I do want those replays, though, when it's over. I'd love to see this.

Which IaMP 2hus does Japan like to use the most?

Hey I helped run and coordinate this event with the Japanese side. You can probably hear me sounding like I'm in a fish tank on the English stream archive.

I know it's not really the most popular game with Touhou fans and not the easiest of games to get into, but our community's been around a long time and it really meant a lot to me to do this.

Thanks for the good times everyone!

(also if someone wants to get my account to the point where it won't get deleted again that'd be nice, thanks)

I just wanted to say thank you for putting this up on Youtube - Twitch never runs well on my internet connection. I've never been able to get into playing fighting games online, which mostly leaves doujin fighters as a weird curiosity for me, but it's interesting to see people who really take the game seriously go for it.

We really enjoyed it too. Sadly the Western-side community's basically done now, I've played maybe three or four times since then. (Tiina definitely got his runback on me though, owwww) Fun game but it actually is time to move on, yeah?

Personally I think the best match of the set is Pdee vs Toruneko, both played really well. Toruneko plays almost identical to the way I do so Pdee's had a lot of practice against that.
