After a month of kicking, screaming, jumping, getting skewered on spikes, blasted by Dracula, stomped into the ground by Zangeif, and gravity-defying Cherries, I have at long last succeeded in my epic quest to become The Guy!
I know that means nothing to 90% of the people I know here (Including myself, which constitutes the 10%), so here's a link to how easy it is to die in this game.
Oh, you gotta love Boss Rush! Shame I don't fight the final form of The Guy.
