Gradius ReBirth 1cc (Very Hard difficulty)

This was a bit harder than I thought it would be because the suicide bullets when killing enemies are kind of erratic at times. Kinda want to 3-loop clear this on normal difficulty since the stages layouts change throughout the first 3 loops and the game is on the shorter side. Loop 1: 0:00 Intro 0:12 Stage 1 2:51 Stage 2 6:46 Stage 3 11:22 Stage 4 16:06 Stage 5 Loop 2: 22:51 Stage 2-1 27:09 Stage 2-2
