Drake:
It actually isn't recommended to stay completely flat against the back wall, ever; in all cases it's much more advantageous to have the room to back up if needed.

Ever is a strong word =/. There's still a few shots like IN Nether and SA MarsaA that can't get any good damage out with focused movement and can't be easily controlled unfocused without the diagonal movement.

I don't know if these are too obvious to be stated, but:
1) Remember you can dodge up and down, too.
2) Sometimes the best dodge is to stop moving (this goes nicely with the streaming advice). Streaming apart, There are things like trap bullets. I don't know if trap bullet is the best term for this, but I'm talking about Clock Corpse: Sakuya seems to aim some bullets straight at where you will be if you keep moving left or right once time unfreezes. I stopped bombing to survive that card once I figured that.

I'm not sure that I'm qualified to post here but I consider myself a pretty decent shmup player.

First or all, great tips for beginners and experienced players alike in this thread.

Three tips that I have aren't related to the game itself but they help me so I figured I'd share.

1)Wear headphones, it helps me block out external distractions, and also who doesn't want to hear that beautiful music in amazing quality.

2)Mechanical Keyboard (expensive but worth it IMO). What happened to me is I was about to 1cc PCB for the first time and my left key got stuck on Resurrection Butterfly, ouch. Mechanical keyboards, as I'm sure most of you know, last much longer and respond quicker due to each key having its own switch.

3) This is a tip I got from studying in college, clear off your desk except for the necessities (keyboard, mouse, speakers, ect..) It might not seem like much but it helps me.

Thanks for he guide about bombing as I have about twenty bombs that I just forget to use, thus dying!

First time I went on touhou my eyes were in pain from all the bright lights.

If I use these tips I might finally get past patchouli on easy in EoSD... >.>
