Touhou 8: IN - Extra Stage - Perfect (Scarlet Team)

I kept my spell card history because it is an accurate representation of the amount of attempts it took me to get this, for I had no prior recorded history with this team before. Thanks for peoples help and motivation. There were certainly some times where I was heart broken; for example, on three separate occasions, I lost a perfect run to Fujiyama Volcano, Hourai Doll, and Imperishable Shooting (all spells need to be caught in order for it to be perfect). What's kind of silly, is that I knew IS would end a perfect run at least once. Thank goodness it was only once.
After capturing IS in this run, I run up the screen to give Mokou a big hug before she explodes.
How did I not die on 11:38?

[@ParadoxPython]

Correction: Got to "Fujiyama Volcano". "Xu Fu's Dimension" is actually REALLY easy, it's just confusing at first. I still don't get how "Honest Man's Death" works though. Is it like the laser only kills you if it hits you while you move or something?

[@warspite_4715]

MrCountryfruit No,it is like 'it looks like it will kill you,but it is still not fully fromed a harmful laser',maybe just half second before

[@GarryDumblowski]

Actually, its hitbox forms on top of you if you stand still, so you have to move towards it when it spawns, but you barely need to move at all, plus the bullets are aimed, so it ends up essentially being a streaming spell. Once you get used to it it's arguably the easiest card in the entire game.

[@maulerfranco666]

In this spell, the lasers are designed to activate once they sweep past the position you were in the moment they spawned. That is why you will see me move in the direction the laser comes from. So, if the laser comes from the right, I move to the right, for the laser will be inactive at that location. Hope that clears everything up.
