Nice to finally see a reversal from Sakuya. It was painful to see it one-sided.

Didn't know Sakuya does Capoeira and Muay Thai.

My guess is that she'll constantly target her head so she can dizzy her, then she'll resume knife tactics.

Well it should have been one sided under the circumstances.

The current turnaround is kinda disappointing but I think most of us were waiting for it to happen.

As expected, I knew Sakuya wouldn't be that weak.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to the next page.

Yeah, I was also disappointed, was hoping to see some good Meiling dominating Sakuya in a match all the way through. But I guess the artist might be going with: 'Stage number = Power' idea eventually. Regardless I'll still read this.

In non danmaku combat Sakuya should be a lot weaker then Meiling.

I think the big thing for me will be if Meiling cannot simply brush the attacks off like Sakuya did.

Hmmm...

*looks at the previous massacre to Sakuya's head before immediate recovery...then looks at single kick causing Meiling to stagger*

Maybe I'm just looking at this too hard.

I agreed, but IMO, an excellent match isn't always one-sided.
Anyway, it depends on the artist's thoughts.
Still, I hope Meiling can win this match. >:D

Elegant Sakuya:
-Sent flying
-Dropping knife
-Doing a handstand recovery
-Closing distance with Breakdance turning handstand
-Kick to the head while doing handstand

Ohh boy... This is so americun and you lost me there.

I told you guys Sakuya would turn this fight around.

Btw classic Meiling pose in the third panel.

We all feared it would go this way but we had hope.

Anyway I sorta hope in the end we find out sakuya started cheating at this point.

Oh, I dunno about that. There are plenty of other Touhou doujins that are just as crazy; I don't really see the American-ness from your list. I mean, yes, it's Gensokyo USA and it's obviously and unabashedly American for a lot of reasons, but your list doesn't really make that clear to me.

Anyway, the fight's nowhere near over, I don't think. Meiling had a really strong start, one that cost Sakuya quite a lot judging by her double-bleeder and nearly-blinded eyes, so I wouldn't call the fight for either side just yet. There's still plenty of time for further upsets.

Yeah, the fight is nearly over. The next page pretty succinctly ends it, unless crushed bones don't put these people down.
