Quick rundown about Touhou Sky Fight™:

For people who are unfamiliar with the MBA or MBC series by Area-Zero, this is a great intro game to the brand.
Touhou Sky Fight™ is an aerial brawler with similar game physics like the Ace Combat™ series and contains the Super Smash Bros. style 4 player combat system. THERE IS ONE CATCH HOWEVER!!! There is only one move and it's a down kill move that is recoverable!!!!. TSF features 6 characters with more unlockable characters in the future with possible updates and fixes for several noticeable bugs in single player and the multiplayer features. Even though it is an early game, it is one that is made by a reputable brand that has multiple games that have been extremely successful in the Japanese gaming industry.

!!Important!! YOU NEED YOUR PORTS FORWARDED AND OPEN TO GET MULTIPLAYER TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. IF YOU HAVE ADMIN ACCESS TO YOUR ROUTER IT SHOULD BE STRAIGTFORWARD. IF NOT, THEN ASK YOUR NETWORK ADMINISTRATOR TO DO IT FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!

To setup a direct 1 vs 1 over IP there is a config tool in C:\Program Files (x86)\領域ZERO\東方スカイファイト named "TSFConfig.exe". this executable contains the necessary configuration settings for setting up multiplayer globally and through IP. It also contains settings for keyboard and graphic/performance settings.
Tabs as follows

ゲーム - Game Settings (Graphics and Performance [Not Much])
ネットワーコ - Network Settings (Most Important for MULTIPLAYER)
キーコンフィグ - Keyboard Settings (For Changing key/mapping layout)

①What you want to do is to go to the network settings (obviously) and add your Login ID (ログインID), from registration with FLY NETWORK™ and player ID (プレイヤID), the one that will be used as your name in-game locally)

The three boxes are needed to add information concerning your companions access to a game over IP. All three boxes must have both of each IP in each box. The button to the left at the bottom of each box is to add and the adjacent one is for removal of the selected IP as in the image below:

http://j.imagehost.org/0947/Configuration_Box.png

NOTE* Remember to add the recipients IP and your IP in each of the 3 boxes.
NOTE** I suggest checking the box that has the UPnP so having to fiddle with the port is not required.

If you need your IP just go to http://whatismyip.com/

Now there are more settings within the game that allow you to setup an IP to IP game (screenshot that refers to the option menu that has IP in it). Upon entering the settings there that is highlighted to the right option. This is for the client to connect to the host. The one on the left is for hosting. Now proceed one tier down and you are given 4 sets of 3 zeros. This is where your IP should go. If you added you and your recipients IP to the list, you should have a list of IPs. PICK YOURS if you are hosting and PICK your friends IP if they're hosting.

After that SHOULD be all set! Other than messing with performance and keyboard stuff. Multiplayer should be working just fine from there on out.

!!Important!! YOU NEED YOUR PORTS FORWARDED AND OPEN TO GET MULTIPLAYER TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. IF YOU HAVE ADMIN ACCESS TO YOUR ROUTER IT SHOULD BE STRAIGTFORWARD. IF NOT, THEN ASK YOUR NETWORK ADMINISTRATOR TO DO IT FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!
