/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Here's the deal breaker. I am pretty new to Touhou Hisoutensoku, but I really love playing Alice Margatroid. I think her playstyle is way more enjoyable than any other character, with more ''swift'' and ''creative'' moves. One problem I can't fucking figure out is how to counter really close melee assault. Her normal smash on the side is attack WAY too far, and often you can't land a punch neither. Is there any good close counter attack? Or is there ''Guide to newfags'' for Alice?

i'll just go ahead and turn this into an alice thread.
