Thinking of trying Touhou

[Maxpphire]

Scarlet Weather Rhapsody used to be pretty popular around here

You'd probably get the best answer by asking Kitsu

Thats one of the fighters.

Also tbh the fandom is kinda split up into five different ones. The Shooters, The Fighters, The Music. The Injokes, and then people who like a mixture of the other 4 parts. When someone says they like Touhou, its very well possibly that they've never played a Touhou game, and that isn't a bad thing.

As someone was used to play the bullet hell games like years and years ago, a bit of advice: Generally your goal is to clear the game on one credit. Best way to do this is to practice on one difficulty higher then the difficulty you're trying to clear.

I personally suggest playing Perfect Cherry Blossom as it is a good starter Touhou game. Then my favorite is Embodiment of Scarlet Devil while my best friend's favorite is Subterranean Animism.
