  1. Touhou is notoriously difficult to use in versus battles because of how vague the statements are and how very few feats the characters actually have it's very difficult to tell how strong they are unless you're doing a vague in lore analysis like this.

  2. Færies are the lvl.1 goblin of gensokyo, please do not kill them, they will not drop good items

  3. Yukari is very strong. In touhou 7 phantasm Reimu defeat Yukari , In imperishable night stage 4 Marisa defeat Reinu, In 12.8 extra stage Ciron defeat Marisa.
    Therefore Cirno is the strongest.

    Also I was sure you were going to break it more like hell fairies and sun flower fairies .

  4. We all know Clownpiece is the strongest fairy but how strong is she when compared to the other characters?

  5. Cirno in fairy wars and th16 looks like one of the strongest touhou characters – she can freeze danmaku.

  6. There's just not enough feats in strict sense to be particularly objective with Touhou powerscaling.
    When half the characters play fair and follow spell card rules and the other half just exploit vague metaphorical abilities and don't even fight, there's no serious feats to take as reference.

    The pains of power scales…

  7. I dont think Junko's purification made Clownpiece stronger in general, it amplified her chaotic "impure" life force, which Lunarians avoid like the plague, so against Lunarians, she is significantly stronger than base.

  8. well, technically, nature fairies can be the strongest, but only as long as what they represent is stronger, obviously a fairy of a tree or a flower is not going to be very strong if we compare it with other youkai, but if the fairy of time, or energy, or similar (universal things) appears, they should be a monster, because they represent things that govern the universe.

  9. Summer-Irradiated Cirno is probably comparable to the other main characters. It may not be canon, but with her empowered abilities (even without the back-up dancers) she can go toe to toe with Okina just like the others in that game. It may not be fair to compare empowered Cirno with the others, but its worth taking into consideration her potential when given the extra support.

  10. Fairies in Touhou are actually pretty powerful. As avatars of nature, they are essentially immortal and will always come back to life as long as their aspect of nature still exists. The only reason they're so easy to beat is because they're f*cking stupid. You can count the all smart fairies (by fairy standards) on one hand.

    Sunny Milk, whose power is around the meh tier among fairies, can manipulate and refract light. This means she can actually attack at the speed of light. The fact that even other fairies can dodge her light beams shows just how much superior other Touhou characters are, which is part of the reason why fairies are seen as pathetic.

    Cirno is likely the most powerful fairy in Touhou. She can manipulate cold and is able to freeze literally any danmaku that isn't a laser. In Hisoutensoku, she fought Utsuho inside the Underground Geyser Center, which is connected to a nuclear reactor, and knocked her out for a few seconds. In addition, Cirno's Spell Card "Minus K" shows that her ice can go so far below absolute zero that it creates explosions.

    So yeah, even the weakest fairies in Touhou are actually pretty powerful, but you don't have to worry about them because they're not that smart to begin with.

  11. i would personally like to see more of the three fairies of light, also Luna child might have more power than she knows given a conversation she keeps forgetting or being made to forget with Yukari where she states "the power of the light of the moon is even superior to the light of the sun. A peaceful power, the colour of the heart, sorrows, the light of the moon is a light that does not bewilder anything. Come now, wake up. Why do you think you are treated well by the other light of the sun and the light of the stars?" or maybe she was trying to trick luna, you can never be to sure when it comes to yukari

  12. Fairies are kinda like a small rally car. Looks pretty unassuming, doesn't make a ton of power in stock, not exactly the most sophisticated stuff out there.

    But you can slap a massive turbo on it and let it fly you to the moon, baby.

  13. I honestly think Cirno is at least near ClownPiece, and I have two reasons to believe it.
    The first is her resistance, for a fairy she holds quite long, even in the fighting games, and I know there's the whole spell card rule, but even with that, fairies have no opportunity against most Youkais spell cards.
    Second is her appearance, this one isn't that important but still, unlike other fairies she has icicles for wings instead of the regular transparent/bug-like ones, this might show that she holds power enough to even modify her looks.
    Also I like to point out that, she was one of the few that Okina had on mind to become a new servant, since she opened a backdoor on her.
    Thanks for coming to my KourinTalk

  14. Cirno:
    Im Cirno the strongest fairy around Gensokyo
    Star:
    Ja anyway I start blasting with my Stielhandgranate

  15. Everyone questions the strength of a 2hu fairy, but I question where do all of them get their fancy dresses from?

    Jokes aside, just like the games, their strength seems to come more through teamwork than individual powers. Still doesn't help them survive a Master Spark though.

  16. You state that regular clownpiece is stronger than cirno, but who would be stronger in their buffed form? (LoLK clownpiece or HSiFS tanned cirno)

  17. B-but muh Clownpiece.

    4:16 "Likely stronger than a regular fairy" ? uhh…… that's a very interesting way of phrasing that statement.

  18. VSbattle wikis trying to powerscale touhou characters
    (They're all Multiversal)

  19. As someone who has only experienced Touhou through hentai I thank you, very informative

  20. I would say that Sunny could be the strongest character in Touhou if she can control the volume of a sound, quick science lesson if you match the sound wave of something it will break, so in that sense danmaku, is not a treat, or if she uses her power of a human, well she could pop someone's head, or control a humans movement, or flail about,(yes, the sound is scary)lookup remote control human) note if she could mute someone's ability well Yukari thee strongest in gensokyo could have been beaten by three fairys, note there is now coming back from that.

  21. No one seems to remember the most dangerous fairy. It was a written story ZUN made. Luna Child. Yukari revealed Luna Child to be not only the first fairy, but the “closest to being a youkai”

  22. Well, Corno is obviously the strongest being to live in Gensokyo. SHe's not even supposed to be there but what's Yukari to do about it?

  23. Here's a fun thought, Clownpiece is presumably still exactly as good at Spellcard battles as she was in Lolk, her complete confidence in the situation kinda implied she'd always been good, and Spellcard rules mean she doesn't actually need powers to back it up. She could effortlessly solve an insane number of incidents with those skills.

  24. How to always know that a species really isn't worth a dang: One of their toptiers is often considered one of the weakest challengers in the roster.

  25. If Cirno was smarter she would be really strong. That level of ice manipulation is really versatile and could counter or beat a lot of mid-level or even high level youkai. I think Cirno has battle smarts, but her lack of experience kind of gets in the way.
