Nue's Operation Bigburn -- Level 2: Chireiden
If you didn't figure out, I have a map I drew out myself but I've had to retry this so many times I don't need it anymore.

---------- COMMENTS --------------------------------------------------
Well that was a jump in re-record count. The level is now 25 stages long being a 5x5 grid. Many more chances to make a silly mistake which I did often. I probably messed up at least once on every stage except a few. I messed up the most on Stage 35 with that double fairy hop. What makes it hard is that enemy placement and movement is static. The enemies become active as soon as they enter the camera bounds. So until I move and thus the camera moves, the enemies I can't see won't be moving. This changes the placement for some enemies depending on my actions.
Now it didn't help that I've restarted this several times already and was getting impatient. Oh and randomly was getting itchy over my head and back. I blame the rising temperature of the weather. I miss Winter.
Now let's go through some landmarks in my retakes...
At around 24 takes, I was able to get to the boss without messing up but then I had to deal with the boss. Getting hit once sent me back to the beginning.
At around 38 takes, I was able to beat the boss with only one hit. A hit was a hit so I started once again.
At 42 takes, I decided to cheat because I knew I would be there for another 30+ more runs if I kept restarting from the beginning of the stage. If I got hit at the boss, I restarted at the boss.
After 7 retries against the boss, I finally beat her without getting hit making a total of 49 retries for this stage and 57 retries in total so far.
As I was editing the video, I realized that I missed the picture in Stage 33. I did all that work to open the blocks to get it and walked right past it without realizing it. Time to redo the video.
Fast-forward to around retry number 58, I make it to the end and immediately take a hit from the boss. I give up and decide to just cut and splice that perfect fight against the boss I recorded previously.
I return home a failure... *plays sad music*
Knowing how my harder the rest of the game is, I'm going to change up how I record this. This stage along drained me and I know the next stages will do the same if I try to complete them without getting hit. So what I'll be doing is recording the level in parts and editing them all together for one seamless run. At least I'll keep my sanity like that.
The sad part is that I think it's easier to not get hit on the next boss compared to this one. DX
