When I first started playing Final Fight Arcade I was using all the "training wheels": autofire for easier shifting, button 3 that enables you to escape Andore's grab, A+B macro for easier and somewhat consistent super joy (mega crash or roundhouse kick).
Back then I played a bunch of co-op via Fightcade and came pretty close to getting a solo 1CC too, but never really pulled it off. My initial plan was to learn the game that way and then eventually learn it without the "training wheels".
However at the time I dropped the game and have decided to not pursue it further.
Recently I learned of Sudoku's (aka Mais um SpeedRunner) successful NO HIT Final Fight playthrough done with Cody which has motivated me to get back to grinding the game.
I watched a lot of his runs and also Scoop's deathless Guy playthroughs on Hardest and Con 5 Duros' Guy playthroughs (it happened so that the English CC captions were useful on the latter one).
Deciding to not drop Guy in favor to Cody or Haggar made this for one of the toughest beat 'em up 1CCs that I have done so far.
And btw, you all pronounce Guy's name wrong :P
