Reimu's a very fast and powerful starting character that plays better around Aggressive playstyles, as she can be directly in the grasp of danger without getting hurt.

Due to her Melee capabilities, she offers a variety of moves that work around such, but still holds a few Ranged attacks that could sometimes come in handy.

It's unlikely to have trouble while attempting to learn this character.

Marisa is a more Defensive approach to the game, being a starting character with great Ranged capabilities with a lesser combo potential.

Her playstyle tends to be Slow, revolving around waiting for the enemy's barrier to turn RED; unlike Reimu, however, Marisa can break the enemy's barrier with any of her actions.

You might have a little bit of trouble whlie attempting to learn this character, but only at the beginning, as her moveset is rather easy to get used to.

Kanako's a very slow yet insanely powerful unlockable character that can be either Aggressive or Defensive, as she holds a wide variety of skills that allow for dealing lots of damage at once or escaping from the enemy's projectiles.

While all of her attacks are Ranged, she can easily attack the enemy from whatever direction she pleases, as most of those attacks have a huge range and radius that can easily be abused.

Difficult due to her overall slowness at first, but very easy to understand and play once you've got the hang of her and realize how powerful she is.

She's also the first character to introduce Directional Input Attacks.

Directional Input Attacks are attacks that require you to hold the stick at a certain direction or hold multiple keys at once in order to use them; such as holding the stick Diagonally or holding down the Down and Right keys.

Minamitsu's a Slow yet Hard-Hitting character, notorious for being incredibly hard to play and learn.

Her attacks are all Ranged, specifically between the close and medium ranges; her kit being overall much stronger on the ground than on the air due to a lack of variety on the latter.

She's also the first character to introduce Stronger Attacks.

Stronger Attacks are what happens if you enhance a move with some of your stored Ink by consuming a portion or all of it at once. (There are some exceptions to this)

Good luck, she's pretty tough!

The Yorigami Sisters are the only duo character in the game, being able to use Jo'on but also being able to manipulate Shion on command.

They're a relatively hard character to learn, with gimmicks that aren't on any other character and a wide variety of Melee attacks that may feel pretty awkward at times, their moveset also being far better on the Ground than in the Air.

It's also worth noting that Jo'on also has two unique features: She cannot absorb ink nor dash at all.

Instead, she uses the ink that's scattered across the ground to turn some of her moves into Stronger Attacks.

This also means that Jo'on itself has no Super Attack... unless?

Flandre is the last unlockable character of the game, with variations in gimmicks that are not present in any other character previously listed.

For starters, instead of Dashing, she gains the ability to Fly. And instead of having to press R1 in order to absorb ink, she does so passively.

Her kit is a combination of both Melee and Ranged attacks, being one of the more difficult characters to learn.

She's also the only character that directly affects the gameplay of the game, being able to choose between three different doors that can lead to three different endings.

Overall, it's safe to say that she's the most unique character in the game.
