You know what is fucking annoying? In the PS2 version, when you get to the continue screen it treats ever button as the start button. There have been so many times when I have pushed bomb a second too late on my last life only to have a new credit start. And there is no way of see what your score was either.
This game is pretty fun :) I bet if I bomb instead of losing the first life, I could probably get most of the way through 1-8...Nah, I'm too cool to bomb ^_^
But is the lone One Who Is Above Defeat really having that much trouble with the 2nd loop? Shoe would say you suck because he can do it, too.
I definitely suck, because if I ever do get around to looping it, I'll only beat 2-1 if I have bombs.
(I still have trouble with that 1-3 midboss strat in UD >_>)
