who would be a good character for a metroid-like touhou fangame?
>>51265195Character as in the protagonist?
>>51265200yes! or as NPCs! or enemies!
>>51265195Suika can make those little clones of herself, so she'd work as an army of baddies.Kinda hard to come up with ideas if I don't know anything about this hypothetical fangame.Do you have a rough idea of how big this game will be, the areas, or maybe just powerups? Would be easier to incorporate stuff if there's like, a starting point.For example if Suika is given an antagonistic role, then all or some of the other Oni could be included, too.
>>51265240Not OP but I think Yuugi in particular could make for a fun boss if he went with the whole Oni theme.
>>51265195Okuu
>>51265195YoumuByakuren
>>51265195Reisen
>>51265195Wriggle protag so you can strip her and emphasize she's a female.
>>51265195Reimu always has to be the final boss or the one before it
>>51265844The final boss has to be Mima
>>51265846Mima could be the secret boss who is stronger than anyone else
>>51265195I'd say Marisa by virtue of being a normal human magician. It would give her more room and justification than most other characters to use all kinds of magical artifacts and weapons that she finds scattered throughout.
>>51265877true, we need more games where Marisa is the mc
>>51265877Samus isn't a normal human though. For a metroidvania sure, but for a metroid clone, you'd probably want someone like Kosuzu with youkai taint using youma tools or something.
Playing the one that does exist made me long for more bosses, because they were so good, and less backtracking metroid nonsense. Sakuya's time abilities translated well into gameplay, so someone else who also can slow time would work well. Alternately, none of that casual nonsense and just have Marisa blast stuff.

>>51265195Most search-action games either fucking suck or reuse so many ideas that they aren't worth playing, please don't. I assume because you have no idea what mechanics you want to make that you don't know what makes one interesting.Instead of playing as someone powerful as fuck like many of the suggestions here recommend I think you'd make a more interesting game by using someone like Kosuzu, Akyuu, the Geidontei Ojisans, or maybe even our friend the Fortune Teller. I think you could make something interesting with Kosuzu pretty easily.
>>51265240I like this idea, I can imagine a full out oni invasion into old hell and Okuu (she already has a gun arm desugb so easy fit for her to be the protag) has to repel/clean them out. Tack on the animal yakuza families so you can add the animal spirits as fodder and have the leaders as bosses.
Theres already dozens of these>>51265321https://moriyashrine.org/resources/bouhou-youyoumu.118/
Not quite metroidavania, but spelunky clone where you play as Nazrin trying to find pagoda could be a fun game.....or La-Mulana style game where you play as Nareko.
Probably Mayumi?She's the closest thing the series has to a robot (a Haniwa, in this case, and yes I know Samus isn't a robot) and by proxy, justifiably customizable.
>>51269713>She's the closest thing the series has to a robotUuuuhhh Ruukoto?I think I'd also say that dolls like Medicine are also generally a little bit closer to being robots than a haniwa, what with all the posable limbs and such. Some dolls also work on batteries, right?
>>51269809Who's Ruukoto?
>>51274346some harlot
op are you gonna dev that game?
>>51265195
>>51265195Suika, Kasen or Meiling for rpg progression
