How to Write Danmaku Battles in a Touhou Fanfic

[SeroVich]

I have a hard time to imagine how I can describe the danmaku battles in a written medium, as it is usually in a visual form. Please help me how I can do it and give me examples. Thank you.

Honestly, how you'd describe any sort of combat (esp. melee)?

You might throw in some shmup/danmaku terminology to sound cool but the basics of it are still the same IMO.

Like here's something I just whipped up on the fly

Reimu whipped around, eyes glittering with annoyance, and quickly fired at Marisa. It was her standard two-way amulet shot, a warning shot, if you will. Marisa easily dodged, excitedly calling out "No need to go easy on me~!" as she fired rainbow rings of stars that took direct aim at Reimu.

Thanks for the example Willie.
