Introduction[]
Reimu Hakurei, an ordinary human shrine maiden and the main character of the Touhou series.
In this game her bullets are quite dense and are easily chainable, which allows them to persist through enemy bullets rather easily. A well rounded character, she has good bullets, useful special moves, and a decent melee set.
Hisoutensoku Changes[]
(Naturally, if something 'seems' to do something it still needs confirmation.)
- alt214B/C (Permanent Border (Floormat)) is now a beautiful crackling pink colour instead of the old yellow.
- alt214B/C (Binding Border) now contracts inward to the enemy after deployment. C version will eventually collide.
- 214B/C (Cautionary Border (Walls/Doors)) last longer, and last about a second longer for each level. No more than one may be active at once, with new ones destroying the previous.
- 623 (Ascension Kick), C version, only has upper body graze until you max out the level.
- C amulets seem to fire faster, but also seem less dense.
- B bullets seem to have longer hitstun.
- Hakurei Amulet B version can no longer fire 6 amulets.
- Hakurei Amulet C version has longer startup.
- Youkai Buster C version has longer startup, but it's faster
- Spread Amulet B version launches 2 amulets; C version has longer startup
- Demon Binding Circle and Wind God Kick have had its damage reduced.
- 2B no longer goes fullscreen, only roughly 3 character lengths ahead of Reimu now.
- Fantasy Heaven spellcard now does '99 hit 14582 damage' if you manage to pull it off. If you manage to do it on the 3rd round of a Versus or Arcade Mode match, "Mystic Oriental Love Consultation" begins playing, HNK style!

6[B] | Same as 5[B] but aiming diagonally upwards at 45°. Has the same properties | 100*10 | appx. 97%(-3% each hit) | 10 | 5%*x | Deals 2 spirit damage on block. |
2B | An amulet that travels quickly on the floor. Has a little startup delay but it's good for surprise your opponent or when he's casting bullets with big delay. Only hits if opponent is touching ground. | 600 | ? | 1 | ? | Causes knockdown. Deals 1 spirit damage on block. |
j.5B | Like 5B but on the air. The amulets comes in an arc from straight to slightly down. | 100*5 | appx. 97%(-3% each hit) | 5 | 5%*x | Deals 1 spirit damage on block. |
j.5[B] | Like 5[B] but on the air. The amulets comes in an random pattern from straight to slightly down. | 100*10 | appx. 97%(-3% each hit) | 10 | 5%*x | Deals 2 spirit damage on block. |
j.2B | Same as j.5B but aiming 45° down. | 100*5 | appx. 97%(-3% each hit) | 5 | 5%*x | Deals 1 spirit damage on block. |
j.2[B] | Same as j.5[B] but aiming 45° down. | 100*10 | appx. 97%(-3% each hit) | 10 | 5%*x | Deals 2 spirit damage on block. |
5C | A pretty big amulet that spins and has some homing property, doing 2-3 hits, depending of the distance. It has some considerable delay but has good speed and bullet priority. Is extremely dense, but as of 1.10, is now less dense but is now faster. | 275×3 | appx. 95%(-5% each hit) | 1 | 10%*x | Deals 0.8 spirit damage on block. |

2C | Some amulets that are casted upwards. It hits very very high, but again has some startup. Very good movement when you're on corner and the enemy is approaching by air. Launches opponent straight up. Although it seems pretty big horizontally, its hitbox is just near Reimu. | 200*5 | appx. 95%(-5% each hit) | 1 | 2%*x | Deals 1 spirit damage on block. |
j.5C | Like 5C, but in the air. Can do 1-3 hits (but usually you will do 2-3, as also depends of distance of Reimu and the enemy when casted and you do 1 hit only when max ground distance and about midscreen up). Hard to home air-to-ground when close. | 275*3 | appx. 95%(-5% each hit) | 1 | 10%*x | Deals 0.8 spirit damage on block. |
j.5[C] | Like 5[C], but in the air. 1-6 hits while charged. | 275*6 | appx. 95%(-5% each hit) | 1 | 10%*x | Deals 1.5 spirit damage on block. |
j.2C | j.5C but downwards. For hitting ground enemies. Reimu will move a little backwards like her j.2A move, so it's useful to surprise enemies that want to attack you from ground, but it has bigger startup delay. | 275×3 | appx. 95%(-5% each hit) | 1 | 10%*x | Deals 0.8 spirit damage on block. |
j.2[C] | j.5[C] but downwards. Can home to opponents directly underneath Reimu. | 275*6 | appx. 95%(-5% each hit) | 1 | 10%*x | Deals 1.5 spirit damage on block. |
Special Moves[]
Hakurei Amulet: 236B/C (Air-usable, Chargeable)
Tosses two amulets (each similar to 5C) that go to a fixed distance forward, stop in the air, and then proceed to move while tracking the opponent. Has very good tracking properties. Shoots more amulets if charged. The B and C versions only differ in their charged properties.
| |
Ascension Kick: 623B/C
Reimu spins in a fiery somersault. Has upper-body invulnerability during the first 12 frames of startup. On max level, both B and C version have full-body invulnerability.
| |
Cautionary Border: 214B/C (Air-usable)
Puts up a barrier that hits the enemy two times, four at max level, before sending them flying. Each hit limits for 10%. Lasts for 3 seconds on level-0. The air versions go less far than the ground versions. You may only have one border active at a time. Only drains half an orb on block.
| |
Dimensional Rift: 421B/C (Air-usable)
Reimu teleports and reappears with an attack next to the enemy. While teleporting, Reimu retains the direction she was facing, which can be used for ambiguous crossups.
|
Alternate Skill Cards[]
Youkai Buster: 236B/C (Air-usable, Chargeable)
Creates 3 pink amulets that fan out as they pass more distance. Can be charged to shoot up to 5 amulets (4 is also possible). Has very high damage and fast startup. Can only be high-jump-canceled very late. Whiffs point-blank.
| |
Spread Amulet: 236B/C (Air-usable, Chargeable)
Fires a few large blue amulets that break apart into 6 smaller amulets each, covering a large portion of the screen. Can be charged to fire up more large amulets. The large amulets don't do too much damage, but when spread it's a good zone controller and it's easy to chain combo if the little amulets hit. Has a large blind spot.
| |
Sliding Ascension Kick: 623B/C
Reimu slides forward similar to her 66B move. If you keep holding down either the B or C button during the slide, Reimu will proceed to cancel it into an ascension kick. On max level, can proceed into another kick (similar to the Wind God spellcard) for a total of 3 hits if held down enough. Unsafe on block.
| |
Rain Dance: 623B/C (Air-usable, Expansion-only)
Reimu jumps forward and flips upside-down, spinning her gohei crackling with energy below her. Hits up to 4 times.
| |
Binding Border: 214B/C (Air-usable, Expansion-only)
Creates two border barriers that surround the opponent. Those borders disappear if Reimu high-jump-cancels the move. Drains 2 orbs on block. On max level, creates four borders, making the B and C versions identical.
| |
Permanent Border: 214B/C
Places an amulet on the ground that attacks the enemy when it's stepped on or sightly above it. Only one amulet can be placed at a time. Has high damage and long blockstun.
| |
Demon Sealing Dimensional Rift: 421B/C (Air-usable)
Teleports and attacks by firing needles in a wide arc. Can be canceled right after shooting the needles.
| |
Instant Dimensional Rift: 421B/C
When used right before receiving a melee/bullet hit, Reimu evades it and counterattacks with a wave of bullets. It is possible to combo afterwards with a spellcard.
|
Spellcards[]
Jewel Sign "Enigmatically Casted Pearl": (ground/air) Costs 1 card
Fires 3 large yin-yang orbs which bounce around the screen for a fairly long time. Each hits twice before disappearing. Reimu steps backwards while casting. | |
Spirit Sign "Fantasy Jewel": (ground/air) Costs 2 cards
Fires a fan-spray of 5 colorful shots in front of Reimu in a semi-circle shape from up to down. Does not have graze property. Good for ending an aerial corner combo. Hisoutensoku Change: The orbs now come out of Reimu's back and wait there for a moment before moving forward. This seems to be a mostly cosmetic change, but it may invalidate some combos. Good for making opponent to attack you and be hit by the orbs, but be careful. | |
Dream Sign "Devil Sealing Circle": Costs 2 cards (Expansion-only)
Reimu shoots a pillar of light that surrounds her similar to Demon Binding Circle. However, it only hits once and forces limit. | |
Treasure Sign "Yin-Yang Jade": Costs 2 cards
Reimu casts a orange orb about the diameter of her height which hits in front of her. It lasts around 1 second. | |
Border "Spreading Border" (ground/air) Costs 3 cards (Expansion-only)
Causes an array of borders to spread out from Reimu to cover the entire screen. Does significantly more damage outside of the corner, when the opponent can be pushed back into the outer borders. 2-4k damage. | |
Divine Arts "Wind God Kick": Costs 3 cards
Reimu does four somersault in succession ending with a high kick, which makes her rise high in the air and very vulnerable on the way down. Has some invincibility frames on start so it's good for countering | |
Divine Arts "Omnidirectional Demon Binding Circle": "Pillar" Costs 4 cards
Reimu shoots a pillar of light that surrounds her. Doesn't knockback on block but instead keeps target in the same place. Hitbox extends past sprite. Safe, if disadvantageous, on block. Although it has very good bullet priority, it does not graze. | |
Holy Relic "Yin-Yang Sanctification Jade": Costs 4 cards
Reimu casts a big blue orb in front of her that after a while accelerates across the screen until it makes contact with the opponent. On contact it will slow down and hit the enemy repeatedly until it gets past her. When the orb starts accelerating, Reimu will be free to punish the enemy along with the orb. | |
Divine Spirit "Fantasy Seal": (ground/air) Costs 5 cards
Reimu casts a series of colorful shots that first surround her and then chase the opponent. Deals 5 orbs of spirit damage when blocked and results in guardcrush if all shots make contact. If casted near the opponent, the shots will hit the opponent when they come out of Reimu. Does not graze. If you cast it in a corner and have a successful hit, the enemy will juggle in air so you can go in and attack for additional damage. | |
"Fantasy Heaven": (ground/air) Costs 5 cards
Reimu's infamous Last Word from Imperishable Night. Summons 7 yin-yang orbs around her. An orb lights up each time a successful hit is made (does not count bullets) and when all 7 are lit Reimu releases a powerful attack that covers the entire screen. The summoning of the orbs can only be done on the ground, but the actual release of the attack can be done on ground or air. The release is only when Reimu is not moving, and it's automatic. You have 15 seconds to light the orbs, and then they will disappear (they will not disappear if the enemy hits you). Easily above 6k damage if the enemy is beside you, and guard crush ensured if blocked. The attack is grazable, and won't do much damage from a distance. Hisoutensoku Change: Causes over 14,000 damage on successful use. The attack now drains spirit on graze. Also plays a secret remix of Mystic Oriental Love Consultation in the background as the enemy gets vaporized if during the 3rd round of a match (both players with 1 win). Demonstration |

Midscreen
- 5AAA/2A 2B 623B/Alt 236B/C (Youkai Buster) - 1738-2116 damage, combination dependent (5AAA+Alt 236B/C for the most damage)
- Spirit Orb Usage: 2
- 5AAA 5B Alt 236B/C (Youkai Buster) - 2347 damage
- Spirit Orb Usage: 2
- 5AAA 5B hjc8 j.6A - 2039 damage

- Notes: Works on Alice, Marisa, Yuyuko, Patchouli, Yukari, Suika, Komachi. You can add a super on at the end (Use fantasy seal/kick super in the corner only) for a few thousand extra damage, the only hard part is being quick about the first three moves. Can work on most characters in the corner, but the other options are better for that situation.
Aerial Combo
- j.A j.6A j.5C Alt 236B/C(Youkai Buster) - 2400-2700 damage. Use if a random j.a/j.6a somehow connects. If its a continuation from 421B/C CH, omit C or alt 236B/C.

Corner
It's important to note that stringing B projectiles into C projectiles is only possible in the corner due to the brief delay before a C-bullet begins moving towards the enemy. In the corner, there's no need for the bullet to move further because the enemy is right in front of you.
