So I just wonder I've played ygs2000 and the final pattern is it "theoretically" possible to avoid the pattern and thus beat Mushihimesama without dying once I've been pondering this because well it would make the game perfect and more importantly hard and balanced and kanakotka, skill is highly debatable in a shooter game as gradius is mainly run through memory as well don't argue about maniac shooters just because you aren't good at them it's mean just because you suck doen't mean it sucks!

Typically, in games not made to torture the audience, the more bullets on the screen the smaller your hitbox will be, and it's just understood that in a danmaku game it will be the very center of your sprite.Touhou 11 had the hitbox highlighted.

it requires dodging skills and most ship shooters are 95% dodging skills 5% accuracy.Also you say they are pattern driven yet gradius and ikaruga all are made easier through memorization

how do you tell what it is

And i get ridiculous minus points for stating my opinion, so let me restate it. Bullet curtains are meaningless, as they're pattern-driven and besides of simple navigation, do not really require that much shmup skill, as games like Gradius, UN squadron and Ikaruga do.
