I'm still a firm believer that Shagaru's blasts are the worst thing. The thing with Snek is that the fire balls don't do incredible damage and are just things to harden the difficulty. Shagaru's blasts hit like trucks and it takes at least 2 of them to kill you with full health. Like you said earlier, Shagaru moves a lot... cause he actually wants to kill you. You have to worry about him and the blasts. With Snek, you just have to worry about the meteors. Snek isn't constantly attacking you. Not to mention the Sanctuary is pretty small. You can't see a damn thing and the screen is just a mess. The blasts are pretty much lag bombs and once it lags, its over. A teleporting Shagaru is the worst thing ever. When I'm climbing out of the hot spring, I make sure I move side-to-side constantly.

To die from Snek's meteors is pretty situational. Your solution is to move a bit more. Dieing from Shagaru's is also situational, but its also easy to die from a 2 hit combo. Dodging Shagaru's blasts is as equally as hard as dodging Snek's. I give Shagaru the edge cause of the lag bombs and higher damage.
