It's easy to understand. I think I'll type of a full explanation of the controls (as I understand them) now.

There are six face buttons in total. Since I assume you're using a keyboard, I'll use the keyboard buttons instead of the gamepad buttons.

Z - Light Melee Attack
X - Heavy Melee Attack
C (Z+X) - Special Button 1

A - Light Danmaku Attack
S - Heavy Danmaku Attack
D - Special Button 2

The special buttons have four different functions to them. Your special moves, Spell Cards, and Last Words are all activated using the corresponding special button + any direction, and you may customize which specials / spell cards are activated by pressing whichever direction + whichever button you may want, and you may do so for each individual character. It's sort of like Super Smash Bros., except you have two buttons for a total of 8 specials instead of one button.

C/D+Up
C/D+Down
C/D+Left
C/D+Right

The bar at the bottom of your screen is your stamina. You require stamina in order to use special moves. Blocking (I think) gradually decreases your maximum stamina.

In order to use a Spell Card, the blue portion of your health bar must be completely covering the white portion, then you have to press the Special Button + Direction of the spell card you want (for some reason, the customization for Ichirin is glitchy, as it says right is down and down is right [at least to me, don't know if it does it for other characters]). Entering the button combination once 'declares' that you are using the spell card. The background will get all fancy and you'll be glowing slightly. Using the combination again performs the spell card.

By pressing F1 (I'm thinking this is a demo-only feature, sort of like a training mode type of thing), you and your enemy will immediately get 100% Favor. Once you have 100% Favor, you will be able to use your Last Word. The Last Word button combination is D+Up (At least for me. I've tried it on every character without customization and it was D+UP for every one).

WIth the Last Word, there is no need to 'declare' the attack. It will automatically use the Last Word the first time you enter the combination, so be careful not to get confused.

I will now explain the Profile menu.

In order, the list is (according to what they do, not what they are actually named):

I hope this helped a little bit.
