Tenshi Hinanawi/Kohaku's version

Like all of Kohaku's Touhou characters, this version of Tenshi has custom gameplay not based on Scarlet Weather Rhapsody'' and has three defense options, selectable at the start of a fight. It uses three buttons for most of its moveset while using the remaining buttons for strikers and one of its defense options.''

Gameplay


While this character uses all six buttons, it uses, and  for the mayority of its moveset. It uses the button for one of its defense options, explained later. and are used for strikers, where  summons Iku Nagae, who dashes forward with her Dragon Fish Drill, which is a multi-hit attack, and  summons Yukari Yakumo, who fires a shot which slowly travels forward, the upward and finally travels backward and off-screen. The strikers can be turned off by editing the config file.

Like all of Kohaku's Touhou characters, Tenshi's gameplay is custom, not emphasizing on projectiles like Scarlet Weather Rhapsody, but rather on close-range combat, though it still has a few ranged attacks. It also has a Defense System which offers the player three different defense options, selectable at the start of a fight. The defense options are Ex-Shield, Parry and Just Defend. Ex-Shield works similar to Melty Blood, where you have to press at the right time to parry an attack. The button can be held down, but it will drain power and won't be as effective as when you press at the right moment. Parry works like Street Fighter 3, where you have to press at the right time to parry an attack. Just Defend requires you to press at the right time to slighty parry an attack. It allows you to recover from blockstun faster and restores a small amount of health when performed successfully.

This character has great comboability, allowing you to deal great damage to your opponent if you know what you're doing. Its Specials and strikers can be very useful. Its Hypers are useful as combo finishers, though Meteorogical Revelations's damage is quite underwhelming for a level 1 Hyper. Though Bhava-agra is a level 3 Hyper and also only activatable if your health is at 30% or lower, it's usually not worth it because of the fact that when used, pillars pop out from the ground randomly and the opponent is given plenty of time to block them, meaning its damage is usually lackluster for a level 3 Hyper.

Like all of Kohaku's characters, Tenshi has no custom A.I. and uses the engine's default. It's very weak and rarely attacks, usually jumping around, though it may occasionally perform a combo. It also almost never uses its Hypers. An A.I. patch exists, though it's currently offline.
