Cavalcadence plays "Dad Mode" 6: Cadence & Melody - 0-deaths win! (All Zones Mode)
For anybody who's interested in custom Cadences (or other characters), the official NecroDancer FAQ has some info about creating custom characters, and even has a link to the pinned thread on the official forums, where people have posted some of their custom creations:

And for anybody who's unfamiliar with Dad Mode: "Dad Mode" is something that some of the more veteran NecroDancer players came up with. Basically, you assign Player 2's keys to be the same as Player 1's... which means you can play a Co-op Mode game by controlling both characters at the same time, in tandem... just like the "Father-daughter dance" section of Cadence's story! =)
So... recently I've been practicing Cadence & Melody "Dad Mode" (which I guess kind of makes it "Mom Mode" ^^), partly as a break from Cadence speedrun attempts, and partly because I really wanted to improve my Cadence & Melody record. ^^; My first ever Dad Mode win was a 6-deaths win... but that was back when I was still figuring out how things worked in Dad Mode (things like: if you cast a spell, both characters will cast the spell... which means one of them will suffer the Blood Magic cost! =p), so I was pretty sure I could improve on that. =) Ideally, I was hoping for a 0-deaths win, but I was pretty sure that'd take a bit of practice. ^^;
Anyway, long story short... after quite a number of failed attempts (including a 1-death win where Cadence died during the NecroDancer battle.... and a 1-death win where Melody died during the NecroDancer battle!)... I finally got the 0-deaths win! =) And here it is... hope you enjoy!
The mini-bosses and bosses I encountered during this run were:
Zone 1: Direbat, Gray Minotaur, Red Dragon, & Coral Riff 1.
Zone 2: Red Dragon, Gray Direbat, Gray Minotaur, & Deep Blues 2.
Zone 3: Gray Direbat, Blood Nightmare, Green Banshee, & King Conga 3.
Zone 4: The Mommy, Nightmare, Green Dragon, & The NecroDancer 2.
