Touhou 12.3: Hisoutensoku - Sanae (No Commentary)

Deified Human of the Wind

And now it's time for our third fighting “game”. Though... in all honesty I hesitate to call it a new fighting game cause... well it's not really that “new”. The change from Scarlet Weather Rhapsody to Hisoutensoku didn't do much aside from adding five-ish new characters (I personally count Meiling as new compared to the way she was tacked onto Immaterial and Missing Power) and just making attacks smoother and prettier.

Sanae is fairly average as a fighter but she has some attributes that are completely unique to her character. First off she doesn't fly like anyone else rather she creates a wind storm that moves her around. This both means she can only move in a straight line but the wind can also move around some of her attacks she can set up. Secondly two of her combos involve summoning Suwako or Kanako to the field, while powerful they are the only attacks I've seen with a cool down to them.
