the stuff with orin being a cunt with her movement happened to me, too. I was on the last picture once when she decided it would be cool to stay in the upper right corner while I was dodging somewhere mid-left low. when I tried taking a picture, she was just outside of my reach and I died like immediately after that. only took me 300 more pictures to reach that point again :V
yeah, 30 pictures is like 6, maybe 7 attempts. I did surprise myself there. just like I did with the catwalk, which I did on the first try somehow :V I finished up stage 8 and done scenes 9-1 till 9-4 (9-4 is still a terrible card. stupid DNA shit - got lucky in the end on my winning run - took like 10 tries only, though). 9-1 wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be, but what I am really dreading right now is 9-7. I am still not sure if I should do it with ay for the zoom or with hatate for the quick recharge. I am pending for aya, though. I had one hell of a bullshit dodge on 8-3, by the way. I laughed my ass off during the remainder of that playing session. that was so arbitrary and I did that prepared to die.
I suppose doing that isn't for everyone. I don't like pacifist to make up for it, I suppose. lol
and yeah, I'm trying my best to do an all-clear again. I don't want to leave out single scenes, so as I progress, my...progress is going to be slower, I suppose. other things I am REALLY scared of right now are 10-8, 11-4 (so much unfocused movement ;_;), 11-2, 12-7, 12-8, EX-5 (oh god that is going to be atrocious) and EX-8. marisa's going to be a cunt, I already know it. there are probably more I am forgetting. (pretty sure 12-4 is going to be hell too.)
oh LET'S NOT FORGET SPOILER-1 AND SPOILER-5 :V lol.
suwako's iron rings are probably tough, but I already know I'll love it. the DS is so badass. definitely one of my favorites in the game.
