Here's a perfect (no deaths/bombs) run of MoF's Stage 6 Lunatic, another one of those runs that I've wanted for a while--I'm really, really proud of this.

Since VoWG is both a popular and tough card (more appropriately, one of the toughest in the series to capture), the initial grind to capture VoWG threw me at this stage quite a bit, so I guess it was natural for me to want to do this eventually. Not to mention, seeing Veronica accomplish it only made me want to do it more :P

The stage portion becomes pretty straightforward once you notice that all those rings of bullets are aimed at your location. However, when entering the very last section of the stage, you need to get a bit lucky in order to survive; occasionally, the endstage fairy will throw a thick cluster of bullets at you that may be impossible to dodge due to the rings of aimed bullets immediately preceding it.

Kanako's difficulty is all over the place. VoWG needs no introduction, and it's just lovely how it's the very last obstacle to overcome in this battle. Kanako's first noncard is quite hellish, having a speed similar to Border of Wave and Particle but with a far more difficult pattern to dodge--keeping your eyes above your hitbox is practically essential, and strategic blinking is recommended (I'm serious). The rest of Kanako's cards (especially Source of Rains) can vary quite a bit: sometimes they are very easy, and sometimes they can be annoying as hell bitchy. In fact, I could write a paragraph on how much I hate Source of Rains, but I'll avoid that :P

Lastly, I don't really know what to say on my VoWG performance here. I made a really stupid dodging choice at 4:07 and I somehow managed to survive. Suwako obviously lent me her strength at that moment :3

(Note: my first capture of VoWG involved me auto-bombing Kanako's 3rd and 4th cards 80ish times, so I have no idea what my actual records are on those. I threw this fact in just in case you are confused as to why my VoWG record seems to appear better than my Source of Rains record :P)
