This stage will rapidly go from shockingly hard for Stage 4, to surprisingly manageable at the halfway point. The first half is definitely still doable, but if you wanna do it without making use of various bullet clearing abilities, or bombing, or just being able to die freely, you're gonna have to do some routing to figure out a potential path to get through it all (and even then, knowing what to do is one thing, actually accomplishing it is another).
The bosses aren't too bad, but note the plural there. That's the biggest issue through and through. Their attacks by themselves aren't too crazy (biggest issue is some choice attacks where the actual “warning laser” I feel is way too subtle). No, the biggest issue with them is just the fact that when they're together, you're dealing with attacks coming from two different angles. Your goal is always to mitigate moments when bullet waves overlap, but that won't always be possible here.
