The opening fairies went okay, I had a super nice dodge right at the beginning, and, uh, I think I collected all the first point items at 6000 PIV. Woohoo! I'm always very nervous at this opening because there are so many bullets and they move so fast, but I can also take comfort in the fact that a restart will not lose me any hours of playtime. Okay, well, no run is hours long, but figuratively speaking. Actually, though the esc+r button combination has a little bit of lag for me, so it always takes me a longer time to restart in this game than it does in other games. In fact, I usually need to press the "r" key twice! It's absurd, but alas, with practice I will learn to time it better.

I got really afraid when the first line of fairies after the first big faries came down and shot their bullets at me, because I was out of position and thus couldn't take it easy and stream it like a normal superplayer. However, fortunatley I have been honing my dodging skills ever since I started playing shmups, and thus had little difficulty improvising a path through what I like to call the "fan" pattern that their bullets created.
