I quite liked Yuuka when going for a first L1cc, but her flaws became extremely apparent when trying to get a low-miss run.

She has high charge speed and an extremely powerful C1 that can basically one-shot Lily if you shotgun it, but her greatest weakness is her low movement speed. This leaves her struggling against quite a few matchups because she simply can't keep up. She does have decent killing potential at least, being able to wall off the AI sometimes with clusters of large flowers, or snipe them with her fast mentos boss attack.

Her C2 generates lots of pellets, which is good for scoring and helps her gain the last extend without too much trouble. But this also backfires on her as it can start spell wars quickly, and Yuuka has trouble in a spell war. She can't hold her own once they start, since she gets pushed down and her slow speed hinders her from pushing back up. High-speed pellet clouds are also hard to stream since they're loosely aimed and can catch her on the edges. Ironically she is also fairly reliant on C1 iframes at times, as even though her low speed makes it hard to phase through things, sometimes it's your only option.

Stage 6: Yuuka faces Reimu here, and she has possibly one of the worst Reimu matchups out of all the characters. Her speed leaves her unable to macrododge around yin-yang orbs or do quick misdirects of Reimu's C2. Reimu herself also generates a decent amount of pellets, so expect to get into a spell war in which you're often on the back foot. I personally feel this is the hardest Stage 6 match out of all the Story Modes.

Stage 7: Aya is Aya and this fight is mostly streaming, but don't be slow on streaming or large aimed pellet clumps will get you. Not to mention Aya's pellets are very fast. Overall not too bad though, perhaps the only breather stage.

Stage 8: Komachi is just plain hard. She has tendency to die early at least, especially when you add Yuuka's AI-killing potential in, but it didnt happen this time. Very easy to get pinned down by oppressive coin waves and not have the speed to cleanly navigate through them without being smothered by a cloud of aimed pellets.

Stage 9: Eiki is also hard very hard on Yuuka since the U-shaped streaming you have to do is a lot more loosely aimed than Aya's offence, and Yuuka often gets caught at the edges. Restreaming is also quite hard with such low speed, and Yuuka often has to spend gauge to do it.
