After that antenna should be down.

Now all you have to do is stand in the bottom shooting the enemies coming from the shutter, parry the pink objects from the middle and shooting the core when there's no enemies. When the shutter is destroyed it becomes especially important to always shoot the black bombs as soon as they spawn (even when the heart appears).

Phase 2: this you can end with one super (5 cards), otherwise it doesn't really really need much explanation. If you dont wanna use a super on it, it just takes really long, but you shouldnt get hit easily.

Phase 3: Whenever he stops shooting, use the time to shrink and get past walls. Sometimes you'll have to squeeze through them while he's shooting, but make sure you shrink when getting past the walls. Also try to parry the pink bullets for more EXes/super. It can be a little hard to get close to him with a super when you reach 5 cards, so just spamming plane bullet EX (the bullets that just go horizontal) can be better and you barely lose any damage from it compared to using a super.

For charms double-heart, while making the fight longer helps quite a lot with the extra 2 hits, since you only lose 10% damage (5% for 1 heart). Outside that you could try coffee, which gives you more EXes to finish faster.

Two cups of coffee and playing focused. Playing angry leads to more failure.

Relax and try again later.

Use the bombs and go destroy cheast and the part bellow first (you should be able to destroy them at aproximately the same time), change to bullets and go to the head, keep an eye on the bombs that come out (they have a certain time pattern) if necessary keep going up to the head, and down to destroy the bombs. When the heart comes out, go to the bottom of the screen and start shooting it so you can easily destroy the bombs and damage the heart at the same time. After he releases the head, use the special you saved through the 1st phase and shoot it a little and you might go to the 3rd phase, on this phase you have to dodge everything, try to stay small while dodging the projectiles and parry whenever possible to use your special and ex moves. ( i do this and i find the robot very easy with this strategy)

Start destroying the bottom first then go up. Ty to use the shrink as much as possible and use your best skills to dodge and for the last phase use your super first the keep using EX moves as much as you can then you will eventually beat him

Yes definitedly save the super for the last form. With some parries here and there eventually you can use two.

Rest is reflexes and skill.

Ultimatedly they are right. No one can pick his keyboard and dodge the bullets for him...

Frankly just be good enough to reach the last phase with two lives, until then give up. You need a small margin for error, until you don´t have it, just sacrifice yourself and start over.

What I do is kill the antenna first using two supers in the process, then blow the other parts with bombs. After that it´s reaching the last phase with a special ready and hit him. And then avoiding the bloody things and parrying.
