Behind the Nineball

amazing graphics

Nine-ball? (9)? Cirno, is that you? XD

Seriously though that is a fine piece of work. Probably 3x as fast too.

Is there an actual reason that ACs are associated with tiny cartoon girls

I'm not complaining or anything just wondering

Nice paintjob on the Nineball Seraph in that last link, though I think it would look interesting if they had left the gold parts gold instead of going silver.

Due to the infamous manual screenshot, Cirno has been nicknamed "Nine-ball" or simply "(9)".
Due to this she is sometimes associated with Nineball (or the Seraph variation) of Armored Core fame in various ways, such as a Cirno in its red/black colors for MUGEN. It is famed because it's a difficult boss in any game it appears in.

Touhou fandom makes no sense

to be fair, what are fans supposed to do when the official manual has Cirno labeled (9). BAKA

that's laying down the gauntlet right there

y'know you're hotlinking a pic from 2chan there. it's going to disappear in a day or two.

but that kit does look completely insane awesome

Touhou is a bit difficult to grasp when without context.

The winter fairy Cirno is the biggest putz in the series, making her both well-liked and well-hated by the community. What the sadistic brat does to frogs is just too unforgivable in my book!

The biggest irony though is that in the original game, Cirno is a really weak first level sub-boss and originally hardly worthy of mention, in contrast to the reputation of the Nine-ball, making the association all the more comical.

at least Cirno has a name unlike Dai-yousei

all even forgive the love for Momiji

but Dai yousei is like really guys

really

ps thanks for the touhou hijack

That actually makes a lot more sense to me than just the (9) thing by itself did.
