Guys, I'm sucking pork on this game!

Are there any decent superplay vids going around? I found one, but it's of the second loop - no good for me!
Basically, I'm following the strat on this and have learned all the elements, but the game ranks up hard on me. I end up dying because I'm concentrating on building medals rather than watching bullets. I do always suicide on the boss at least once, but it doesn't seem to affect rank much once medals are maxed out.
When I had no idea what I was doing in this game, I made it to stage 4 on my first go. Now I'm playing for score I rarely make it to the third.

Some decent vids (doesn't have to be someone destroying the game, that would probably be less helpful) would be great.
