An elegant maid must find elegant solutions. No exceptions.
I will admit that the actions I took were setting up another time stoppage - baiting her in close enough that she wouldn't be able to dodge another attack quite as well (and her being currently airborne helps this out). We are - or at least should be - able to throw knives while time is stopped, which allows us to attack and dodge at the same time.
I had previously objected to time stopping because I'm treating it as equivalent to bombing (which is the canon approach, as evidenced by the conversation with Reimu). Since we've done it once, though, we've already lost our chance at the capture equivalent, so I don't mind doing it again.
