Mushihimesama 1.5 Maniac Max - No miss No bomb - M Power

Finally decided to start the grind for my final Mushi nmnb clear 2 days ago and here's the result.

But before anything, fuck boss 4.

It's trash. Every attack is horrible. The third from phase 1 is the worst, you do NOT have enough speed to keep up with it even with M power, so by the final wave you'll get walled unless you phase through a bullet or micro that (ew).
You know an attack is trash when it's Ultra version can be done 100% consistently but this one is only consistent on the fact that you'll get walled every time.
So then you're forced to speedkill it before that attack starts (at all) doing weird shit, but for that you have to micro the second attack wich is NOT how you want to dodge that at all, so yeah...terrible. Lost 6 perfect paces to this boss.

Anyway, about the run itself. This was my 4th attempt of the day and the one right after losing a clear to last attack of the final boss. Unfortunately, that run was overall way better than this one.

In this run I was fed up and played on autopilot until I reached boss 4, mind wandering all around the place. Because of that I failed to notice that the tail of one of the dragonflys had already gone way past me, and when I realized that I was forced to squeze through a horrible lane of bullets.

And then boss 4, on the opener I went through another lane of bullets, but it's boss 4...not gonna care much doing it ugly because that boss doesn't deserve anything pretty.

On the first half of stage 5 I messed up the route for one of the carnivorous plant with the double mantis. My fault though for doing close to no practice for this stage, mostly only played it in runs (failed or not).

But besides that I think I did the routing and execution of the rest of the game well enough
