Two shout-outs to make for this run. One is for The Retro Challenger for streaming his PB attempts for this one. The other for Mr.Unkillable for his no damage wall strategy.

In this run, I decided to use low level strats to get through the first stages quickly. I was doing alright until mission 4 where I had some ass fights against the Chins and final bosses.

I love the double dragon series, so obviously I wanted to do a run of one of the games. However, all three original games have cons when it comes to deathless runs:

DD1 has awkward controls and you have to unlock your moves by gaining exp like an RPG.

DD2 you pretty much use two moves the whole game that require stupid timing. Plus, there's insta-death bullshit toward the end.

DD3 you have to fight the same enemies on the same screen for minutes at a time which is monotonous as shit.

I think DD1 is the easiest of the three to beat without dying. I do want to do a DD2 run eventually though since it's my favorite in the series.
