They're crawling out from everywhere...

Koishi uses Goomba Stomp on Koakuma #6, its super effective!

Swarmed by Koakumas...

Whats more the distracting the Koakuma attacks or the urge to look to see what the hell is happening behind you

Delicious Zerg rush.

And Satori found the overmind

I think by this point, a majority of contestants have cheated in some way or at least severely bent the rules.

Koa... I feel bad for her right about now.

Uh oh, Koa is going to get busted...

WHY THEY DIE SO YOUNG???!

Once again they have gone and shown pitiful my multitasking abilities really are

Geez, everybody in touhou sure does going "Warui Nei" on people when they are coming from an overhead kick.

Not like it isn't cool though.

Get the ring leader!!!

Now Koa is screwed too....

So far, it seems like the "power ban" isn't very effective, given how many contestants brought some form of their abilities into the ring - the onis' size change, Flan's four of a kind, etc.

Makes you wonder why some of the other matches couldn't have just ended with something like:

Yuyuko (since she obviously interfered anyway): Resurrection Butterfly ~80%~
Remilia: Oh shi- *dies*

Or

Flandre: *destroys everything*
Suwako: *hax god powers*
Ring: *obliterated*

flan used her ability outside of barrier.

And even then she was springing off of the walls than true flight for the most part. Sanae's power of Miracles sure seems to be working very well even in the ring; that's two high end teams her and Suwako managed to defeat. But there's generally some sort of rule being broken once during the matches if not more.

Hell I think Satori doing what she is doing is kind of cheating. Until something is done about Satori, Sakuya's badly outmatched.

I'm actually feeling fired up because I'm hoping for Sakuya to be able to pull off a victory despite these odds, and at the moment so much is happening that it's hard to guess precisely how it could happen.

The Koakumas intervening seemed like the start of restoring order, but with the whole underworld team running interference, it hasn't helped yet, and looks to be on the brink of collapse now that the hivemind trick has been seen through.

koa-cockroaches?

Normally Satori is one of my favorite characters, but this time im hoping she gets owned, HARD, and rather soon hopefully.

This whole series is cheating contest. The only ones who weren't cheating and got away with that were Reimu/Remi (and Sanae/Suwako, who goodgirled their way to victory}

Because spraying garlic tabasco in someone's eyes and bringing weapons into the ring, including brass knuckles, counts as goodgirling.

crap, forgot about that one.
Okay, excluding sanae/suwako
