Okay, seriously. I want some critiquing going on this, if you all would be so kind. I almost had Reisen on stage 5 of my Normal run of IN, but I got careless. Seriously, what am I doing wrong here?

I say, once you memorize where the fairies come from, don't be afraid of getting near them (just make sure you don't crash). By the time you get to midboss Wriggle, you should be at 81 power max. At boss Wriggle, your power should be around 107.
By destroying familiars, you shouldn't have to deal with a lot of bullets. i.e. Mystia's second non-spell during the boss fight.
Stage 3, during any of Keine's non-spells, destroy the familiars as fast as you can.
At her last Spell Card, Phantasmal Emperor, destroying the familiars makes it easier to dodge the arrowheads and lasers
Stage 4, I find it easier to deal with by memorizing where everything comes from.
If I recall correctly during my Youmu run, Marisa's star generating familiars can be destroyed easily. Try to destroy them as Reimu, though it'll be tricky getting past through the dense stars.
During the huge swarm of fairies, the red and blue rice bullets are aimed at your hitbox (I don't think all of them are, though) so use that to your advantage. Also, know when to go for the POC.
During Reisen's non-spells, calm down. Stay where you are for a bit and you'll see that the bullets will form a path for you to go through. Don't go everywhere.
Also, you seemed to be a bit jittery when playing. Calm down a bit.
Speaking of Boundary team, I died at Stage 3 Normal right after midboss Keine and right in the beginning of Stage 5 :derp:
Those 2 lives probably would've helped against Kaguya.
3/26 FAIL: EoSD Stage 5 Midboss - didn't finish Misdirection in time to get that 1-up with Marisa A and died too many times in Stage 3. I even lost a life at Perfect Freeze =(
