Note from 2022: Considering the use of the Hitbox patch in this Run, I will be considering this run Invalid as using the patch is poor form and by my standards today, I am of the opinion that it should not be used in a legitimate run. Rather than taking down the video(I don't like having anything I consider close to cheating on this channel), I decided to leave this up in the event someone wants to reference this run.

This is a great day, i have finally ExNNed the very boss that indirectly introduced me to Touhou as a whole so Flandre as a whole while not one of my favorite characters, has some sentimental value to me for that reason so i guess this run is "Paying it forward" i suppose. Anyway the stage itself is not very hard it is all mainly streaming and spawn killing for the first part of the stage. When patchouli shows up is when things begin to get harder Silent Selene can clip really often and run you into bullets, Royal Flare is completely memo but you still run the risk of either running into a bullet or being clipped by one, and Philosophers Stone can be a huge problem if things go badly with it.
Flandre herself is not too bad, the only real threats in this fight are Kagome Kagome, maybe maze of love, ATWN?, and of course QED. QED being the biggest problem. QED is completely random and very hard to dodge and is often the spell that i would assume ruins really good perfect runs and really hurts this stage in my opinion from being a personal favorite. I also want to say that in my honest opinion, Marisa A is the best character do to ExNNs of this stage with and that is only because she kills QED faster than Reimu-B which has to dodge more of QED which i would assume is not something that is desired. Reimu seems better off for more casual no-miss or solely no bomb runs but that is just my opinion.
