Koishi Komeiji



"Hello, Hello! Right now, I'm stepping over your corpse as I try to advance to the future."

-Koishi's victory quote in Touhou 14.5, Urban Legend In Limbo.

Information
Koishi Komeiji's first appearance is as an Extra Stage boss in Touhou 11 : Subterranean Animism. She then appears in several different games until she appears in Gensokyo arena as a playable locked character. Koishi is useful when you want to silently get kills and having an advanced moveset. She can be dangerous when a skilled Koishi user comes to play, as they can use their instant-killing moves, invisibility, teleportation, and super high damage to their advantage. However, she can be outdone by characters which have homing abilities or high damaging abilities, so try to keep your distance until you have the chance to kill them up close.

Unlocking Koishi Komeiji
Koishi Komeiji can be unlocked by standing on The Phone at the back of the Hakurei Shrine. While standing on the phone, type in the chat the code "09024109679" and after doing so you will be teleported to a place called "Your Consciousness" by Heatzerker. Walk towards the payphone and after doing so, make a contact between your avatar and the payphone and then the Last Word of Koishi Komeiji will appear on the screen minus Koishi. Finally, you will be kicked from the game and have Koishi Komeiji unlocked.

Abilities
Koishi Komeiji has a set of 7 moves:


 * Kitchen Knife - A melee that Koishi uses, the knife is fairly weaker than Sakuya's maid knife at first glance; but if you manage to stab someone while coming out of Unconscious Mind, it will result in an instant death. The knife gives a small speed boost, so it’s great to always equip it when you're attacking or while invisible.
 * Youkai Polygraph - An upgrade of the Kitchen Knife. If Koishi slashes someone, it will consecutively slash the target and deal 80 damage overall. If there are two players or more nearby, it will slash the nearby players one after another while teleporting behind those targets. Each slashes for great damage.
 * Danmaku Paranoia - Releases 5 cyan colored knives wherein the 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th knife moves additionally by 15 degrees. Each knife deals 30 damage at the cost of a terrible hitbox. When hit, it will teleport you to the target.
 * Release of the Id - Releases two rows of 5 pink colored hearts. Each spread out through the arena each dealing 20 damage with the benefit of a high hitbox.
 * Ancestors are Watching You - Releases 20 cyan colored oval-shaped spheroids around the user that rise up. This is used in a similar way to Cirno's "Perfect freeze" as it threatens players to stay back. While this ability rarely hits it deals 40% damage for each oval. You can also become invisible during the attack if you use Unconcious Mind quick enough.
 * Unconcious Mind - Activating this move will make Koishi invisible, the name of the ability is renamed to "Reveal" in which activating it will reveal Koishi and make her visible. While it's in effect, Koishi can't damage anyone. It's worth noting people can hear your footsteps in this state.
 * I'm Going to Call You, Answer the Phone! - Koishi's Last Word. Releases a ring that grows outwards with 4 pink colored hearts moving towards the 4 perpendicular directions. If a player come into contact with the Last Word, the screen will turn into black and after a few seconds, the words "My name is Mary." "Right now, I am..." "RIGHT BEHIND YOU!" in red appear and when the sequence is done, the target will be killed instantly. This is very easy to dodge however, because of its' extremely low range. Use it if someone is close or getting close to you. It’s not recommended to use it while reappearing, since it could easily make you vulnerable. You can also equip the knives to allow yourself to move during the attack.

Trivia

 * Upon killing a player with backstab, the "Critical hit" sound effect from Team Fortress 2 plays.
 * Koishi Komeiji has the most abilities in the entire game, yet the community refers to her as one of the worst characters; only second to Hata no Kokoro. Other people however refer to her as one of the more frustrating characters to deal with due to her ability to go invisible. However, she can be easily defeated when against homing attacks such as Wriggle Nightbug’s Nightbug Storm.
 * You don't need to be behind someone in order to OHKO them with the knife. (Tested)
