If you're new to Touhou, this thread is for you.
What is Touhou?
Touhou is a series of vertical-scrolling shoot 'em up games from Japan. They're all made by a single guy named ZUN. It began all the way back in 1995 and has since given rise to a massive fanbase that produces an extremely large amount of derivative works. If you wish to learn more about Touhou, then head here:
http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Touhou_Wiki
Where can I download the games?
All of the official games can be downloaded here:
https://moriyashrine.org/
or

If you have anymore questions, feel free to ask them in this thread.

I was going to make a thread but better ask here. I'm about to play Touhou for the first time and I noticed 2 things: I really fucking sucks although I got better, and there's little to no story, at least in the first game.
So that lead me to 3 questions. When is story begin to be incorporated? Do I need to play them all in order to get all the autism? And if not, what fan games are better retelling with a different genre/gameplay?

Start with Touhou 6. You should only play Touhou 1-5 until you're already really familiar with the series.

These games are really hard. I only finished touhou 6 on normal and I am too much of faggot to try another games in this moment.
It doesn't, you need to read official LNs.
No, only from touhou 6. Everything before was made into non-canon by word of god.

Actually, word of god is that events in PC-98 exist as long as things from Touhou 6 and onward don't contradict it. This means that unless ZUN states that Yuuka never had a scythe-wielding assistant at one point, Elly will remain canon. Also, you truly are a faggot for not having at least tried playing the rest of the games in the series. Also, I'm pretty sure that actual Touhou Light Novels even exist, so I'm guessing that you're just getting mixed up between the literary works (manga and other stuff ZUN wrote) and LNs.

Oh. I still wish that all characters from PC-98 would show up, even as cameo.
I know that I am faggot for that, but I still wait for better computer.
Sometimes I still get literary work kinds mixed from some weird reason.

Maybe you should learn to accept criticism more graciously. "You're mad" is not an insult, nor is it an acceptable response in any decent conversation. This is, as I stated, not a nice board.

Firstly, it's obvious that this isn't the only thread you've posted in, like I said you've gone around to different threads looking for attention saying you hate the board. Secondly, just saying you don't like something and criticizing something are two different things because it seems to me that you are using the term criticism as a shield.
>"You're mad" is not an insult, nor is it an acceptable response in any decent conversation.
It's the truth. If you want this to be a "decent conversation" then you would have made points. As it stands you come off as you being butt hurt over other people having fun. So I must ask, why are you so butt hurt?

The first portion of your post is incorrect. The second part is misguided. I doubt it's possible for you to engage in decent conversation judging by the way you post.

I used to have the same issue trying to 1cc Rumia/Cirno until I watched some video where the author pointed out, "If you're depending on reaction time to play Touhou, then it will be literally impossible to get anywhere," and then proceeded to break down how many frames even the best human reaction time was, showed various situations, and how I was being retarded.
I went back to playing and was able to 1cc Rumia/Cirno easily. Mental blocks are weird.

I've 1cc'd IN, but when I go to other games with a less gigantic deathbomb window it leaves me struggling badly. I've tried PCB and EoSD since I beat Kaguya. In PCB I still miss more often than not, and EoSD feels downright impossible.
How do I improve? Obviously "don't get hit" is an answer, but that's easier said than done.
