Part 2 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJmXHqufok0
This is Part 1 of my SA Extra Stage run. This video covers the overall level, the mid-boss Sanae Kochiya, and half of the boss fight with Koishi Komeji. I think most people who have been playing Touhou agree that SA is the hardest game, and by extension, this Extra Stage is the hardest of them all as well. The actual level is short but requires very precise positioning. Sanae is a bear of a mid-boss who I can beat but I have to use 5 bombs (good thing Marisa + Alice have 8!) I need every one of the star pieces because Koishi is the hardest Extra boss in all of Touhou. Some of her cards are just incredibly hard to master and she requires intense concentration, memorization, and movement to beat.

Koishi's cards in this video:

1. Symbol "All Ancestors Standing Beside Your Bed" - there is always a place to fit yourself between her rain of lasers. The other bullets are more troublesome...requires a mix of slow and fast dodging.

2. Symbol "Danmaku Paranoia" - Not much to say here except that you better be good at dodging in tight spaces with slow bullets.

3. Instinct "Release of the Id" - Very Very difficult and unpredictable card. You have to dodge left and right in between 2 different lines of bullet trajectories. You cannot hesitate and you need to constantly adjust where you are. Not easy.

4. Suppression "Super-ego" - Kind of the reverse of the Id card; maybe a bit easier than that, but also requires constant movement.

5. Response "Youkai Polygraph" - This card isn't too bad. It's a survival card and you have to dodge lines of bullets while rotating counter-clockwise. You have to slow-dodge and fast-dodge to create safe gaps.
