Horizontal bullets. Fortunately these are very rare. Not-quite-horizontal bullets are fine, though.

Also, Subterranean Sun, because of the X-axis pull when you move away from the exact center. It throws me completely off, most of the time I don't even know what hit me. It's the only card in the series where that still happens.

Um... Seven Signs of the Deva, that card of Youmu is one I can barly capture, but still can, and it definatly scares me.
Doumen Seimen, kinda... I haven't captured it yet, but I can tell I am close. Stupid bullet-course changing thingie D:<

Your kidding me, I'd much rather fight marisa over reimu and her evil borders and nasty nonspells. Also marisa's theme and danmaku patterns are more awesome.

This comes up quite a bit. The difference between Marisa and Reimu in Stage 4 of Imperishable Night is the difference between micrododging and streaming. I can stream like it's an Olympic event, but micrododging just murders me. I'll take Reimu every time over Marisa's ridiculous cascade of tiny tiny spinning stars.

I have wondered what these definitions mean, so streaming would be run away from the evil thing coming at you, and micrododging as it suggests just slowly nudging around through gaps, right? (this is probably on the wiki, isn't it?)

Almost any attack in which there are bullets coming from left and right at the same time. Like Suwako's lilypads or Youmu's opener.

Something like that, but for what I have seen and heard, Streaming is slowly moving from 1 side of the screen to the other, slowly enough that your grazing, but fast enough that your not dying. This is used on attacks where the enemy fires at your current location, such as Kaguya's Fire Rats Robe.

Micrododging is slight left and right movements, going through the gaps. That 1st Yuyuko non-spell that has the fan-thingie out would be a time to micrododge, I think.
