I'm not really happy with my score, but my main goal was to get all of the Spellcards in one run. A lot of the videos I've seen either bomb their way through or abuse Reisen's shield. I wanted to show that it's viable to 1cc without doing that (at least on Normal.) The main reason my score was lower than usual is because I was a little slow on some of the Spellcards, so I missed out on those bonus points.
Stage 1:
Nothing too special for this stage, as expected. The stage boss patterns can be easily manipulated.
Stage 2:
The sections with all the red bullets can be a little tricky if you don't stay on top of them and keep moving. I try to be aggressive and take them out quickly so there's less bullets stuck on screen. If you stop shooting them for a bit, it can give you an opening to dodge, though. The stage boss is still nothing special.
Stage 3:
This is where the game's difficulty ramps up quickly, especially if it's your first attempt. Again, I find it important to be aggressive and keep moving so you minimize how much the enemies shoot at you. Once you start to fall behind, you'll get pinned down in a corner and surrounded by bullets. The two laser sections can be a real pain in the ass regarding this. If you move just right though, you can prevent the red star enemies from getting a shot off in the second section.
For the mid-boss fight, move up before the spellcard starts. This gives you room to retreat downwards, which makes it easier to dodge. If you start too low, you'll be surrounded immediately.
I can't figure out how to handle the section with the spinners shooting the blue stars. All of the videos I've seen just bomb through it. This is probably the only part of the game that I need to use bombs. It would be easier if I could practice Stage 3 with a stage select, but that's not available in the demo.
I've seen some people comment on other sites that this stage boss is as difficult as a stage 5 or even 6 boss. I'm not sure I'd go that far, but she absolutely destroyed me on my first run. This is also where I choked and died to stupid stuff that I normally dodge. The key to this boss is that you have to position yourself ahead of time, which just requires practice.
For her first spellcard, you need to move up again so you have room to retreat down. Rotating around the bullets will give you a safe zone, and it's much easier than trying to dodge it head on. Her second spellcard pretty much makes it obvious that you need to circle around and graze the bullets. For her third spellcard, you CANNOT be too low when it starts, otherwise you'll instantly die to the lasers (it took me a few runs to notice this.) Besides that, just use minimal movements to dodge or you'll run into all the lasers blocking your path. I also try to stay roughly in the middle so the lasers can't sneak up on me.
The last spellcard took me the longest to figure out. If you stay farther up, you have to dodge bullets coming from every direction, especially from behind you. But I figured out that if you stay at the absolute bottom of the screen, you can dodge nearly ALL of the bullets with just side movements. It also helps to position yourself a little to the left of her when each wave starts, since this will manipulate the bullets behind you into a decent pattern. The only time I have to move slightly up is when she's nearly dead and the bullets behind me start to spawn out of position.
Besides those stupid deaths in between spellcards, it was a decent run.
