Have you played PoDD? She doesn't shoot floating crosses. She aims at you with a laser and let's crosses appear in you for a few seconds.
Her barrages are not for show, but to gather data from the heroine.
Her science is the best in all the Touhou games, and she is the last boss in a VS Shooter, which is comparable to the last boss of a Fighting game, but I too wouldn't put her that high.
She is like Marisa, who uses phantasmal mushrooms and her mini hakkero to attack, except she uses "science". etc. blah and so on
