-Miyoi only has Cutscene Sprites and an Icon, usually only characters who are to be playable in the near future (1-3 months?) have portraits and even closer units have battle sprites (1-4 weeks given maintenance doesn't occur before their inclusion). This is a more recent occurrence though, and sometimes units can be thrown in entirely at random moments.
-Global and Jp share the same or similar files, sometimes a few versions off from each other, but Global has more due to their own custom events (EXP quests, Elemental EX, etc). That or the two you mentioned are being released soon.
-The category is inclusive for both JP and GLB content.
-It's your choice to upload anything. Worst case scenario, I may end up uploading the characters you mentioned in my rip.

I hope this clears some stuff up, and I apologize that this is a really, REALLY long response.  Ouch! As I said, do whatever you feel is right in the moment, and if you need more support on the decision, the Discord server for the Video Games Resource is available. Good luck, Kana!

Despite me cutting a good majority of your post here to make it shorter, no need to apologize, I find that explanation fascinating. Probably because I'm a programmer myself, and seeing how this game decides that things should be called fascinates me. I actually have had a lot of the assets you mentioned already, but was a bit worried to upload incomplete spritesheets. Merry and Renko have been floating around in my cache the whole time, but I was focusing on finished characters. The only thing I don't fully understand is why on occasion my main account and alt account got different assets in their caches (specifically, with A6 Remi and Flan. One account had each despite neither having either of them). A lot of this explains global's... uhhh.... "weird" extra events which randomly reuse assets and seem to be very weirdly written. I must admit I'm very distanced from any way of knowing how the development of this game in particular is, as I'm more in tune with regular Touhou games from ZUN directly than this. I also don't listen to those long dev streams as they're usually at bad times in my timezone.

Even with a better understanding of these cutscene exclusive characters, I'm still questioning whether I'll upload some as I... lost some with the original cache I had as I accidentally wiped all my rips with that Ouch! . My life situation is massively changing soon and I don't know if I'll be able to go into a full cache again for a rip. I'd love to do so, but I don't feel pressured to do so as I feel I've left my mark on this community.

On a more upbeat note, I noticed today that I incorrectly uploaded Yukari (Boundary of Sand and Sea) as titled as a completely unrelated Youmu sprite lol.

Once again, thank you to you and everyone who's posted in here for all the helpful information. I don't think I'd have been able to figure this all out myself, and I don't know how I'd be able to sleep knowing so many rips hadn't been uploaded here (Akyuu's Fantasy Rebirth being potentially lost is actually what triggered me to start). I'll continue to do what I can prior to me being unable to upload for about 2.5 months. Maybe some HUD or tutorial elements next? (I have loads of English tutorial assets, and every event currency icon, and I uh don't think I've got the time to figure out what Hifuu backgrounds I have)

All I'll say is that you should work at your own pace and not let us pressure you. You've done a lot already, and I can't thank you enough!
Okay, update: All 15 of the files I initially uploaded have been accepted. May go back to ripping them once I'm done with stuff today. I've definitely got a lot to upload, so I believe I should get started soon.

My apologies for not being around, I haven't really felt all here the last few days. I hope what you've been doing went well, I have a few characters I'll upload once my head clears, which are a few new fantasy rebirths I got, plus the two new B3 units in the Japanese release which for some reason have snuck into global (Keine and Doremy from what I can tell). I've been trying to get EoSD Meiling but the RNG gods aren't with me. I also encountered A10 Sanae so she'll be added when I get around to it. I also met EvanGamesGoodman somewhere else and will be indeed uploading Miyoi's cutscene stuff. I've kinda just been laying around the last few days as my mind is just clouded.

Regardless, best of luck.

Hey, before we continue uploading sprites, we accidentally reuploaded Suika Ibuki (Vanishing Go-Home Club President).

I'm not sure how to deal with that, but I am indeed the one who uploaded it. There's no "delete sprite sheet" button that I can see anywhere. Not sure if I should report my sheet or what.

Yeah, that's one of the reasons we have the report system set up, so you're more than welcome to report accidental redundancies like that. Regardless, the duplicate was removed.
Alright, so to keep you all posted, I've reached the last 4 files of the rip I did. However, in order to get up to date with everyone, I will post the files I have here by name in order to get the correct name for everything that I can't just simply translate, as well as to prevent me from uploading duplicate sheets.

This will include every file I have, and I will divide it into sections. Will have a separate section for things I only have part of too in order to see if anyone else on the thread has the sprites I'm missing so we could possibly upload a joint file if we have everything.

Regardless, I hope everyone's doing well.

EDIT: Okay. I've finished ripping all 21 files I had, but some stuff is missing so I'll be taking a moment to list off what all I've got (if not after a break as this has consumed about half of my spring break) I've got about 300 files so this definitely will take time, but I'm sorting them so I can explain what I have.
So I came to the unfortunate realization that I'm missing...


a lot

I'll be here for a while, trying to figure out what I'm missing, but right now I'm almost halfway done with sorting. Might as well upload some things.

My apologies for not being around for a while, haven't really felt the drive to say much. I'm glad you're making any progress, as I keep hitting hurdles left and right.

I have sprite rips for Daiyousei, Meiling, and Koakuma's A6 variants, however I only just now noticed these characters entirely lack change assets. Kinda weird, but maybe they didn't deem them necessary.

What really has me confused is my inability to get some of the costume cutscene graphics out, which has led me to believe that Mystia's two costumes just don't download them no matter what you do. They have to be downloaded if you buy them obviously, but I can't find them anywhere in the cache and it's a bummer as I really wanted to get the izakaya one up. Oh well.

Also bluestacks seems to like not copying everything when you copy it out, it's been driving me crazy to the point of using an old phone instead.

Best of luck,
Kana
Alright this might be among my final updates for now. I have reached my theoretical limit and gotten to the last few remaining characters I can get unless the devs decide to rerun limited characters. Using a new method I came up with to combine caches from alt accounts, I have a lot of characters to add when I get the chance. These include the aforementioned remaining scarlet characters, Kanako's relic form, Rin's S5 form, and multiple more. We aren't far from completing the entire tier list for global at this point. The only issue I've hit, is that I still have no way of getting C sheets for Mystia's outfits, and I've arrived at the conclusion that this is because no events use them. So unless they decide to add them (which who knows if the next event won't at this point) I can't get those. I'm rather disappointed with it but there's not much I can do about it. I also don't feel comfortable uploading anymore backgrounds as I know I made plenty of errors when uploading those. I have most of the games UI assets, especially home screen ones and ones used for home screen sub menus and maybe I'll try to do those. Below are characters that I know I currently can't get, the list is really low when you consider the number of characters in the game:
-Suwako (A10)
-Sanae (A10)
-Aya (A9)
-Alice (A7)
-Satori (A11)
-Mystia (Lamprey Stand Chef and Choujuu Gigaku Costumes)

Thank you all for tolerating me and my rants up to this point,

Hey all,
Just wanted to give somewhat of a final update here. I'll very likely be unable to rip sprites anymore in the coming weeks as I'll be leaving pretty much for an indefinite amount of time. I'm going to try to get what I can done before then. I have a few unannounced costumes in my current rips that are already in sprite sheet form, just waiting to uploaded when their event comes out. I've also ripped essentially all of Chapter 4. That being said, I don't know if I'll be able to do anything further. I have tons of English UI elements from menus, submenus and the like, and I'll try to sort them before I have to go.

I'm down to just these following characters missing: Suwako (A10), Sanae (A10), Aya (A9), Alice (A7), and Mystia's Lamprey Stand Chef and Choujuu Gigaku Costumes. I hope they'll be ripped some day, but the latter are locked unless they're either added to an event or someone who has purchased them rips their own cache.

I hope that someone can take over for the rest of this, I enjoyed it while I could. Also, best of luck IVBOY, I'll check in occasionally to see when you get your things up! Smile

Hey everyone,
While going through my spritesheets and such, I was thinking about how a lot of the expression for characters have the black shadows around them, clearly representing where blush is supposed to be. I was just wondering if anyone here has actually, figured out how to deal with that? My apologies if I'm being annoying asking that around here, but it's something that I've begun to wonder about as I finish up with what I have. I don't have plans to rip any further except for maybe the update this week, being the final update I know I have the time to rip. Regardless, I hope everything has been going good for the other rippers here, haven't heard from anyone around here in a while...

Thanks for the help so far from everyone,
Kana

Howdy, Kana. I'm not sure how to utilize the Shader Files I'm afraid. However, if someone else is knowledgeable, it may help?

Regardless, I managed to clear Chapter 4 act 2 in JP, so I might be able to get rips from the minimal content in 4Act3 now, if I still have interest in doing so later.

EDIT: After the hell that was the Dragon Marisa fight. What the hell was Act 3 supposed to be. It's even shorter than 90% of the events in this game, there's not even multiple segments...?
