This level was not designed for a Buster Only gameplay.

This level is so full of small and subtle movement here and there to avoid enemies from endlessly respawning that it's just not fun, I'd rather use Homing Torpedoes or Shotgun Ice in many spots instead. Also, whoever designed and thought those flying enemies were a good idea was not right in their mind, I haven't gotten that angry at those type of enemies since Order of Ecclesia.
The climbing segment that comes before Kuwanger is just ridiculous. I remember the first time I attempted that with Buster only and it took me over 15 minutes just to get through. I came up with the upgraded buster shot plan on a whim and started to work out on it until I got to the point you're watching now.
The segment after fighting Kuwanger is also deceptively difficult to get through without taking damage. If you move around it recklessly those flying enemies will respawn and so will the Mettaurs and the rolling ones which can easily put you in a tough spot.
Vile is a fairly simple fight, the only thing you need to watch out is when he jumps around. The safest bet is to get to the other side before Vile's jump reaches the highest point since he can fire those three ground seeking bullets. I don't like standing at the corners as I feel it's too risky since Vile will most likely come charging at you.
Bospider is still a tough fight, you can more or less predict where it will go to, and with some practice you'll understand and visually notice the 1 or 2 line gaps and predict the safe spots with more accuracy.
One last thing I'd like to note is that I don't like the upgraded buster. The upgraded charged shot is slower than the normal charged and if you have the habit of starting to charge another shot right after releasing one, the regular X-Buster pellet can hit enemies before the pink charged shot does, and this is particularly bad against Bospider and even more in the rematch against Spark Mandrill.
Useless making of stuff:
This video has a little story behind it and pissed me off way more than it should had.
1) One of the successful recordings got messed up and froze after the Vile battle.
2) Another video didn't even record because I forgot to fucking start recording it.
3) I was cleaning up some other videos and accidentally deleted an already uploaded video from this stage.
Silver lining? There is none. I'm just upset at my own stupidity and wanted to share some of my mistakes.
