Got hit 5 times but got the 2 extends.

Are there any good strategies for the 3rd part of the 2-1 boss? Those huge shots together with the reticule make me nervous and I usually bomb there - but at least it goes down fast. I think I can take it down with tension powered up very quickly if I avoid 2 or 3 waves of the huge orb shots.

I still have a lot of trouble in 3-1 before the boss (during the boss I'm getting more used to it).

I also need to bomb during the 3-2 boss 2nd stage, can't figure that one out. The 4th stage is hard but I think I found a good spot to make it easier to dodge.

4-1 is also rather harsh...

I think my own goal for this one is to finish it with 4 credits (the ones you start with by default I think, at least in the PC version). 1cc'ing it looks very difficult for me.

All right. I need to get back to this sometime. My Niigi should to be on 4-2 at least... In the end, I think her and Kim2 might be the easiest 1cc...

I usually bomb here too with most characters. But powered up tension shots can often take it down right after the first reticule laser. I always dodge to the left when I see that thing almost on me. And I also don't worry so much about grazing for x8 action here either... Wish I had better advice, but that's it.

I still have a lot of trouble in 3-1 before the boss (during the boss I'm getting more used to it).

Try type 2 Kuga. Put the Shiki ghost in the center of the screen, a bit in the upper half. And let him do his thing for as long as possible. Whenever you do have to let go, just try to reset it at the horizontal center, as far up as you can. It might just be my imagination, but I think 3-1 is easier with Kuga2.

4-1 is also rather harsh...

Agreed. It doesn't get any easier beyond that either...
Good luck!
