What is this?This is a Guide For Touhou games with videos that explains a lot of tricks and tips and it is mainly aimed to new players who can't clear the game in one credit.
And what are these Touhou games?The Touhou Project is a series of 2D vertically-scrolling danmaku shooting games made by Team Shanghai Alice. They are similar to regular shooting games, but focus more on weaving through complex patterns containing anywhere from dozens to hundreds of bullets.

BASIC KNOWLEDGE
--------------------------
The main controls:
The Z button: Pressing the Z keybuttonyour character shoots, use it to make selections inside the menus( you can aslo use enter)
The X button: Pressing the X keybutton your character uses a bomb (assuming u have one in stock or in later games have enough power)
The Left Shift : Pressing shift during the game is called "focusing" and has the following effects:
-your character moves slowly, this way u can move more precisely and deal with heavy dodging.
-The hitbox of your character becomes visible (this doesn't happen on Touhou 6 : EoSd and earlier games), this helps to avoid bullets easier and move more comfortable.
-Your character shot changes.Usually to one that deals more damage although that is not always true , it also depends on the character and which game of the series you play.
-In most games the bomb of your character differs if you are focused or not.
The ESC Button: Pressing the ESC button during gameplay pauses the game and brings up a menu.
The Left CNTRL button: This key is used to skip dialogue.Press it during any dialogue you have read at least once.Also in later games you can fast forward replays.
NOTE: I strongly suggest to give some read about
hitboxesSome commonly used meanings for runs that might help:
1CC: 1 Credit Clear > clearing the game without using a continue.(usually assuming at default lifes which is 3)
1LC: 1 Life clear > clearing the game without losing a single life.
focusing / stay focus / focus : pressing the shift button.

PS: I plan to finish this thread for at least the windows games unless sth hapens .I am not exactly sure how people will see this, but i hope they apriciate it.People who want to help are welcomed even with making the replays.For the recording i rec at 30fps and then make the speed x2 since my PC cant handle rec at 60 fps also for some strange reason i never had sound with fraps (on any game).
Also note that this is the 2nd time to video edit ( i had some exp with some GG videos)
thoughts? advice?
thx in advance.
