Some more progress. There was some tough sections. Mainly the Stage 4 boss and the checkpoint with the two blue vehicles , one above, one below. That part was tough. Switching over to the Hori Rap4 modded stick was useful since the turbo fire rate on that controller goes a little higher. Also prefer that stick for micro movements in shooters.
First death at each new checkpoint shown, but additonal deaths edited out. This is the same way the playthrough will be edited once its complete. Will definately make a tutorial for this one as well.
