   Yeah, but Stage 4 Patch with anyone but ReimuA is a complete nightmare, in my opinion.

And thanks for the help, everyone! It's a huge help.
Mr_Bob:
I'm working on trying to clear Extra as well, I have all the characters unlocked, but I can't get past Maze of Love with any of them. In fact I have done math on this card to try and understand the dodging involved (20o openings followed by 16o of "love" ten times in a circle of about 2.75 in / 7 cm in diameter where you have to reach each safespot in about 0.7 seconds. This was measured by hand so it's only approximations.) I don't want to have to resort using the cheap way to clear it. It looks a lot more beautiful if you do it right. In fact I'm considering clearing Lavatein this way too. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

I have the stage down pretty well. The only thing I would advise differently from Drake would be regarding power-up at the beginning, rather than zooming up to the fariy to get the screen clear, instead kill the last fairy of the previous phase (the one on the off-screen far right) before it has a chance to escape. I find this power-up method is a lot easier to pull off than zooming to a cloud of bullets.
Drake:
Eh, I've never once died trying it, so.

This is really just a character control thing...  I had problems with it too for a while.  If you're bad at these attacks I'm afraid the only way to get better is to play embarrassingly large amounts of Touhou.
