Patchu Patchu Patchu Patchu!

I have been playing IaMP (Immaterial and Missing Power) netplay almost every waking moment I can, mainly against people on the West Coast.
I use Patchouli Knowledge.
Isn't she adorable?
Anyway, she's a bookworm/magician/youkai who "lives" in the Scarlet Mansion's library.
Meaning she's a nerd.
I have a feeling if she had internet access she'd never move from her chair.
Master of elemental magic, her strengths and spells vary with the days of the week (because JP calls the days {mondays, tuesday, etc} by "elements", such as gold/metal, wood, fire, water, moon, sun, and earth. Wind is under wood, in case you're wondering.)
Patch first appeared in "Embodiment of the Scarlet Devil", the first Touhou shooting game for modern PC where you go to the Scarlet Mansion to smack the vampire Remilia for being a dork and blocking out the sun so she can go out in the day time.
However she has almost never appeared after that, but does show up frequently in endings.
Her second appearance, however, was IaMP.
Her third appearance is in Shoot the Bullet with very annoying spellcards (i.e. trick spellcards instead of dodge spellcards)

Patchy in IaMP is very good.
Second best good?
I'm not so sure about that...she has her weaknesses.
She lacks good anti-air, for one, and when trapped in a corner has very few answers besides bombing her way out.
Her projectiles take less spirit than everyone else, and combined with some heavy hitting melee she can play a modified rushdown style (i.e. spam projectiles then chase them with overheads)

Anyway, the people I play who can take games off of me are:

flandre aka kalciane aka bellreisa aka owner of eternal romancia before he killed it off: Uses Sakuya (knife maid), reckless knife rushdown, very good, currently can pull about 50% on him, last spellcard of his (time stop) I think is the deciding factor in our matchups, though he denies this. Reads patterns easily, recently won a match with almost only two moves to punish my lack of variety. However it came down to spellcard in the end with him doing time stop again. One of the people I play regularly.

CR aka Chronoreverse: Uses Yuyuko (hungry fan ghost), Yuyuko is ANTI-PATCHU, meaning she counters patchouli's style. I HATE fighting yuyuko, stupid jA, stupid guard crushing jB, stupid guard crush period, so little effort involved on yuyu's part and so much on Patch's part. Currently at about 33% win rate, though when I first played him I lost 50 matches in a row. The second human I ever played, and pretty much the only reason I've improved in such a short time (one week). The other person I play regularly.

Sakuya-Izayoi aka Survive: Uses Suika (drunken tree ogre loli). First human I ever played. Also won 50 matches in a row when we first played. However I win about 70% or more now after figuring out how to fight Suika (basically by playing and losing to CR over and over). Uses the fire kick a lot for stupid damage, however really easy to counter with Patchouli. Suika strikes me as a very inferior yuyuko, with no triangle jumps, and completely weak to patch's As when airborne. Has backed off playing me for a while.

Yukari-Yakumo aka Raven: Uses Reimu (traditional? shrine maiden). Haven't played him much recently, but when we first played (pretty much coming off of CR) I took about 50% of the matches. A large part of Reimu's game is her projectiles, but patch's projectiles are just better, her C can just knock Reimu out of anything she throws, so Reimu is forced to go close for a chance to win. Now that I have been playing against complete rushdown characters (Yuyuko, Sakuya, Youmu), I think I'd win at 80% or more, as Reimu's melee isn't rushdown worthy and her far game is dominated by Patch's far game.

Blitzwing: Uses Youmu (half ghost samurai gardener) Has taken a couple(like 6) matches out of 50+ or so so far, but he can at least win sometimes. He's getting better, but I think his character will prevent him from ever putting up a serious fight against Patch, as Patch counters youmu pretty badly. I don't exactly learn from playing him, but he learns from playing me, so I play him when I can. Because honestly I would be no where as good as I am if CR didn't keep killing me over and over.

The rest:
wongexe aka pocketmancer aka that guy who made gunbound comics lah!: Uses China (no her names not really China, it's Hong Meiling, but everyone forgets her name and she's constantly picked on. She guards the Scarlet Mansion gate)(how appropriate), but China is a very bad character -_-
Kuik: Just starting to get into the game, he kept saying "this isn't mvc2" and how gimpy it was, I think sending him the tournament replays opened his eyes. I hope he picks up Remilia seriously, because SOMEONE needs to be broken ass Remilia. As of now I'm the only one who uses her semi-seriously, and usually when I am angry at losing to Yuyuko for the umpteenth time. Currently using Youmu/Remilia.
linalys: Sort of a famous name (I think) in doujin fighter gaming. Has recently picked up Iamp after being purely MBR and EFZ player. Plays Youmu, I think he will get very good very quickly if he practices, because he is a good player overall.
Dyne-Yakumo: Alice? player, not entirely sure, actually beat survive before, but for some reason I can handle him with ease.

As you can see I am hoplessly addicted right now.
