Toughest stage so far but nothing extreme. Game is not nearly as hard as I expected. Still had to practice most of the segments with states to learn them, before doing this run.
No deaths to edit out here. This run went pretty well, despite some fuck ups.
Only 2 more stages left. This is definately a top action game on the console, having gone through many of them. Very similiar to the Super Shinobi series (Revenge Of Shinobi, Shinobi 3) on genesis, but with its own flavor. Some aspects are even better. More weapon variety and moves.
Those games are probably a little harder overall due to the limited continues and being longer. This game has unlimited continues, so you just have to master 1 full stage at a time. This game seems denser and a little harder, without taking the infinite continues into account. It might be a little harder if you had to play the whole game on 3 continues. Though by the time I learn each stage and beat the game , that wouldnt be a big issue.
