Touhou 15.5: Antinomy of Common Flowers - Sumireko/Doremy Story

"𝘐𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘎𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘰𝘬𝘺𝘰 𝘙𝘦𝘢𝘭 𝘰𝘳 𝘢 𝘋𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮?"

Sumireko's a spacer character not unlike Mamizou. However while Mamizou relies on trickery, fast movements and controlling the field Sumireko's much slower and relies on heavy hitting attacks with large range. The problem is said attacks tend to have blind spots and have lag both before and after using them. You both need to keep track of where exactly your enemy is and where they're going to be or else you'll just wiff horribly as her.

Doremy however is a bizarre character through and through. Essentially she's one of those characters that's just really tough to get a read on and what she's about to do considering she can quickly pull out just about anything in the book. The thing about Doremy however is that she has many specific moves for just about any occasion, the matter is making sure you use the right one. Doremy's attacks are strong, but the reason she ends up being so unpredictable is because her attacks have her using her dream bubbles to move and launch herself all over the place to attack. As such her very attacks leave her open for counterattack and getting punched out of the sky if your opponent sees them coming.
