Reimu is one of the easier 6-life clears. Good charge speed and usable scope, although her C1 is not particularly useful. Her attacks spawn a decent amount of pellets, so scoring for all the extends shouldn't be too much of an issue.

Reimu's strongest trait is definitely her high AI-killing potential. Between the large yin-yang orb hitboxes and her C2's ability to restrict their movements, you have a good chance of ending later matches early. Matches ending too early may actually make you fall short of score though, but Reimu can usually make up for it.

Stage 6: Reimu fights either Marisa or Sakuya here. I got Sakuya on this run who is definitely the easier of the two. Sakuya herself has a chance of getting into trouble due to her awkward scope which the AI doesn't know how to use, so there's a good chance she'll die early. Overall not too hard an opponent. Marisa is much worse and one of the hardest opponents to face, period. Against her, it's good to let enemies and spirits come closer down or allow them to gather up so you can get large cancels, you'll need them to defend yourself when your movement is so restricted by lasers.

Stage 7: Aya is very straightforward and always one of the easiest mid to lategame opponents. Her entire fight is streaming since almost all her attacks are aimed. If you get stuck or need to restream, a single C2 should be sufficient. There is one notable threat which is her random spam boss attack. It's very fast and can catch you off guard, so it's best to cancel her bosses still.

Stage 8: Komachi is one of the hardest lategame opponents, she's very oppressive with her EX attacks constantly filling the screen and pushing you downwards or forcing you to micro through them. Her boss attacks are no joke either and cancelling her bosses is a must. If you're comfortable using C1 iframes, you might be able to make good use of them here. Komachi also doesn't generate many pellets, so building gauge against her is somewhat difficult.

Stage 9: Reimu doesn't have a particularly hard Eiki fight, it's just kinda average. Since her EX vortexes spawn hotdogs in the same trajectory as any bullets that enter them, and most of the pellets in the game are aimed in your general direction, her fight is basically an extreme version of Aya's where you're doing large streams in a sort of U-shape to avoid swarms of loosely-aimed bullets. Use a C2 if you get stuck while restreaming. C1 iframes are pretty good here too since the hotdogs have a small hitbox only about the size of a pellet, and you can skip through them fairly consistently.
