Yeah, I'd seen how T did it, and I'd also coincidentally read pointers from .ASP on stage six, and since both did/suggested doing that card the same way I'd been going about it, I suppose I assumed that's just How It's Supposed To Be Done. But I didn't want to type any of that in my question-post since I thought it was tangential (and snooty-sounding), as I was curious about how another way would be advantageous, not how best to shoot it down.
Going by what you've written, I think your way will be tougher for me. I hear you on the reading, but I haven't had a problem with that since I started keeping my eyes 'unfocused' during the card (not literally unfocused, but I can't concisely describe it) and learning to accurately predict where lasers from the far side will reappear. I have a hell of a time not banging into things, however, so making my precision movements more parallel to the lasers reduced my crunch deaths. And since I have such a penchant for dying, I figured going across the screen would make it easier to ignore the stars, focusing on the naners, even at low power. [I suppose I agree with going perpendicular to bullets, but while you've been doing that with the lasers, I've been doing it with the stars.]
But now that I'm back home, I'll dick around with it a few times, trying it vertical. I need practice with Byakuren anyway, and new positions are always interesting.
