Three runs today, three clears. At least I’m consistent. And, as it turns out, quite close the my goal. My first run of the day was in fact a 1miss. A single mistake in Stage 4 to one of the ballistic balls shot by the boss. Everything else was perfect, even the final boss. Interestingly enough, the other two runs went progressively worse – a 2miss followed by a 3miss. Both had two deaths against the final boss. Despite that (or because of it) I’m starting to feel quite confident in my final boss tactics.

Every death now teaches me something…or reminds me of what I’ve learned previously. Just gotta keep playing, I’m almost there.
