now i'm watching permafrost wolf's run more closely, as i'm not sure how tight scoring must be to get all the last spells
the game feels like there's always an intended way of doing things, and if you're not doing things as intended, things will get weird
this is unlike most other shmups i've played, where you can come up with anything, and it'll work as long as you know what you're doing
also i think at some point i'll pick up esprade in parallel, as i wanna play more arcade stuff now

put your rightmost option slightly to the left of the right wall, shoot the middle and right fairy, then switch to the left asap

wait until the older fairy releases familiars, then kill; do it until only one group of familiars is left
destroy that group with the next fairy, then dash away from her to get the rest
repeat these two steps, but mirrored

wait on the left below the place where the second fairy will fall down, shoot her when she's below the first fairy, also kill the first fairy
macro right, then go right and kill the third fairy when she's on top of a lot of zako
linger near the top left corner, then shoot fairies left to right
then right to left
then right to left again

wait until both fairies spawn their familiars, then shoot them just a little bit too early
do the same with fairies on the left (except these ones you shoot on time), then macro below semi-vomit and kill fairies on the right, then dodge a bit
there's a swag strat that involves dashing between corners, it's less chaotic, but sadly not as consistent

---- reimu
her attack is fully aimed, so you start below her
wait until the all the amulets appear, then shoot the one on the right side of the gap above you
stream left inside the gap when they start aiming at you, then stream up at the end
now do this strat, but mirrored (she'll go right)

---- the rest of the stage
ignore remaining zako
shoot bigger fairies when their red arrowheads are about to escape their cancel range

do it again, but now they form formations similar to stage start
then do this but mirrored

go left, micro over there, then follow the envelope of what you just microed until fairies appear (there'll be another place where you have to micro)
shoot them down, then go to the bottom right corner
kill the fairy as it comes back, then go to the middle
shoot the fairies above (they have a lot of hp for some reason, be aware), dodge a bit
then kill the remaining fairy

---- yukari
hug the pointy part of the enemy marker, then go a few pixels right and up
direct yukari right twice
misdirect her aimed shot into the corner of the cell you're in, then misdirect bubbles by getting close to the left wall
dodge stuff in the middle
dodge bullets until yukari shoots again, then you switch cells to the left asap, and misdirect bubbles to the mirrored corner
dodge stuff in the middle again
this just barely kills her in time

---- the rest of the stage part 2
don't kill the train fairy yet! kill the other two fairies first, then the train fairy, when she's about to leave
then kill the fairy in the middle when her bullets are about to escape
repeat these two steps, but mirrored

shoot the moon to line up, then stop shooting
wait until the train fairy passes the top left fairy, then shoot it
wait until bullets reach you (one tap and you're safe), then shoot the fairy in the middle (you'll also shoot some other fairy like this)
then shoot the remaining fairy
