ReimuA < MarisaB << ReimuB <<< MarisaA in terms of difficulty for the Patchy fight, at least on Lunatic. The only huge difference between Lunatic and Hard Patchy is Emerald Megalith though, so this order shouldn't really change.
theshirn:
OK, so I gave ReimuB a Hard run to better understand what you're all talking about.

The run was complete crap (China killed me three times), but some insights:
I HATE REIMU in EoSD.  A lot.
Bury in Lake is annoying.
Green Storm sucks.  Bad.  (But I managed to capture both Emerald Megalith and Water Elf.)
Shotgunning is risky without training.  Practice heavily on that, or switch to ReimuA or MarisaA.  Personally, I'd switch; some of the harder cards are extremely difficult to move that far up the screen.
Did not capture Scarlet Meister.
Did capture Scarlet Gensokyo.
Ha.  Ha.  Ha.  I swear, one day I'm going to get that damned card. >:( I give you kudos for being able to handle it.

So it's not just me?  I dunno, her cards really don't feel that hard...I always feel like I just make stupid mistakes.
Drake:
I think I'm the only one who doesn't hate Bury in Lake.
Azinth:
How often have you faced it?
Kefit:
Bury in Lake isn't that bad. I'd MUCH rather deal with full rank Bury in Lake than full rank Emerald Megalith, Lava Cromlech, Sylphae Horn High Level, or Agni Radiance.

Basically Patchy cards can be separated into two categories: complete garbage that require luck to capture, and stuff that is regularly possible and well in line with other stage four bosses:

Complete Garbage:
Lava Cromlech
Sylphae Horn High Level
Emerald Megalith
Agni Radiance

Actually Possible:
Mercury Poison
Forest Blaze
Green Storm
Silver Dragon
Water Elf
Trilithon Shake
Rage Trilithon High Level

Bury in Lake and Agni Shine High level straddle the boundary between these two categories. You can get bad luck and get screwed over on them, but you don't actively need good luck to capture them.

MarisaA faces ALL FOUR complete garbage cards, and two are even unique to her battle. All three other types face one of them - either Lava Chomlech or Emerald Megalith. Of the remaining three, ReimuB has it a bit tougher due to Bury in Lake and Green Storm. Then ReimuA and MarisaB are about the same difficulty as eachother, with each having an assortment of the easier cards in the Possible category.
