Your favourite Touhou character to play as in any Touhou game (including spin offs)?

[Bus Passenger]

For me, Reimu has always been my first pick when it comes to playing the mainline games simply for her ease of use and availability for players who are new and still learning the games. Her homing amulets allow you to attack enemies without having to move too much while her Needle Shot allows you burst down bosses and single target enemies quickly, in addition her smaller hitbox makes survival more easier. I really enjoy playing with Reimu in the mainline games with the exception of Subterranean Animism, my least favourite Touhou game so far.

Other than Reimu, I had fun playing with Sanae in Unconnected Marketeers with her explosive frogs and her homing snakes. I also enjoyed playing with Sakuya in Perfect Cherry Blossom, Double Dealing Character, & Unconnected Marketeers.

Sakuya and Youmu are both pretty interesting to play as (though Youmu can be pretty hard, especially in TD and WBaWC).
If you're counting any playable character in the danmaku Touhou games, then I'd also include Orin in UDoALG. She's still practically my "main" in that game.

i guess overrall it would be reimu for the mainlines. her small hitbox and slow movement is exactly what i need in a bullet hell. although i've been giving other characters a shot recently.

as for spinoffs, koishi

I'm a pretty casual player, but Reisen in th15 has always felt so fun to play. I don't mind not having any homing or anything, it makes me try to get better at movement, and it feels powerful to just mow down what's right in front of me hehehe

Marisa cuz she's fast, high damage and imo best dialogues

 

[NuMetalFan]

It's mostly Marisa because she's fast, has the highest damage, best bomb, and slightly funnier dialogue than Reimu (dude above is literally me wtf???)

Youmu/Yuyuko in IN, powerful shot with a high skill ceiling to master it. Also helps that their banter is pretty funny and serves as the origin of Yuyu's gluttonous tendencies.
