Here's a random video of what I do against the stage 4 boss, with rank being controlled (no excess powerups picked up). Technically this is the 2nd loop version (stage 11), but it looks like there isn't much change aside from faster bullets.
It seems that the left arm always shoots first, so the initial attack should be against the right arm. The bullets are still fast though, so be careful. I align myself with the 'Score' text. Both arms should go down before or shortly after the main body begins to move and fire its shots.
After the arms are down, the only real threat is the spread pattern with the big bullets. Tap slightly to avoid both spreads. Try not to dodge all the way into the corner like I did, heh. Rather, dodge left and right a few times until the boss begins to close the distance. If you're fast enough, the boss will die shortly after this pattern begins.
