Revision as of 18:21, December 2, 2022
Because the main page is quite large, I have decided to make the "Series by miscellaneous companies" section its own sub-page as it is guarenteed to have the most universe entries out of all of the categories, what with it not focusing on one company or its subsidiaries.
This sub-page is for IPs that are owned by companies which do not currently have any of their IPs represented with a playable character in Smash. Any IP owned by the major third-party companies in Smash (Konami, Sega/Atlus, Capcom, Bandai Namco, Square Enix, Microsoft, SNK, and Disney) should go on the main page.
Also, as suggested on the main page, you must keep this ruleset in mind before you decide to add any universes here.
All universes on this page were added by me unless stated otherwise. Universes that were added by other users are to be marked with <big>'''Added by *insert username here*'''</big>, which should go below the universe's title header and above its infobox.

Touhou Project (東方Project, Touhou Project) is a series of bullet hell shoot 'em up games created nearly singlehandedly by a single creator, ZUN. The series primarily focuses on Reimu Hakurei, the miko of Hakurei Shrine who is often tasked with resolving supernatural incidents caused in and around the sealed land called Gensokyo. It is notably popular as a source of dōjin content, with the series spawning a vast body of fan-made works; the long-running series can reasonably be considered one of the most popular among Japanese-developed indie games.
