I'd assume a good percentage of players thought they need to beat the whole game on 'hardest' to get this. It's actually a much easier achievement to get than the 800.000 score one, yet the achieved percentage is lower.

If you can use the pipe againt Bear Jr+robot, and grand upper the bosses against the elevator walls, it became so much easier.

Also, keep distances with Shiva to bait his "final crash" move. You can just do a straight jump to avoid it, and punish with grand upper

alguem pode me dizer por msg como uso o stage select ?

Gneve 17 Jul 2021 22:55

Does this counts for the whole level or only Mr X? Means Use continue before Mr. X ?

One credit. I'd LOVE to see a video of how to actually do this last level on hardest in 1cc

Beating it on Hard, I thought this would be no problem- I was wrong. Took 7 attempts! Consider using Axel for keeping mooks under control, and when you get to Shiva make sure to use your Special when you get grabbed right away, since you're going to take damage anyway. Shiva is going to take 1 or 2 lives, but you can get 2 bonus lives in the attempt.

Conquista foi suada e vários rages kkkk porém indico treinar com o Alex pois é melhor a jogabilidade.

You can use stage select, however your talking about a pretty tough achieve here, most of us won't finish the set due to this, need to check what the max life can be without using the x9 side. Quite the final challenge we have here. This could take awhile.

You can either level select and use the x5 lives or go start to end so you have slightly more. I entered final boss zone with around x6 maybe x7 if you get lucky going up. Lost 1 to Shiva and at least 2 to Mr X. Hard but not impossible.

Done it on softcore loading from the beginning of the stage, but of course it's not enough.

is max amount of starting lives 5?

it would be very much easier if you just know how to deal with each boss. i'm a max fan so these strategies work best with him.
first one (boxer guy): best done facing him with a weapon. you shouldn't allow him to get vertically far or he'll use that stupid jump. lure him in the middle vertical lane and hit him as soon as you can. if you lost the weapon, you're best bet is to spam double forward attack move.
second one (barista): take him to a corner and just spam normal attack combo till he dies.
third one (masked guy): it's much easier to face him in the elevator rather than in the open. take him down, get some distance but stay in the same vertical line as him, he will always use his first move to take revenge for the attack he'd taken, jump without using any movement buttons and do a kick. it will counter all of his revenge attacks till you kill him.
forth one (wrestler one): same as boxer guy.
fifth (shiva): get away get some distance and stay in his front, double forward + attack can counter 2 of his 3 dash attack moves, it's the safest way i think.
final boss: main problem is the infinite waves of minions summoned here, try to watch out.
the boss will usualy use just two spots before he starts blasting, find those and try to camp it and attack him there. be a bit too far so he does not use melee attack but don't be too far that you can't attack him.

defensive special is a key factor here specially with the final boss, try dodging bullets with that.
since it gonna be boring as hell, i suggest to try multi tasking it with something else. watching something, listening to music, etc.
