somehow he ended up in the top right corner, against the railing. all I had to do is tap the button . as soon as he'd get up he'd start taking a beating. till death.

If you're lined up on Slice's plane, he usually does wake up boomerangs if you're using a standard chain combo or throw-ender combo enough.

Consider yourself lucky.

Just noticed this was the BOTM, been interested in learning a bit more about it for a while. Only spent about an hour or so on it tonight but progress!

andsuchisdeath - 2,342,600 - ALL - Mustapha

I got the All, but the score is lower than the previous one I submitted.

I'd like to retract my old high score and submit my score for the All.

An all clear still shows up as an 8-R in the score table. One can easily confirm this through many of the C&D 1cc videos out there.

Thanks. I honestly expected it to take longer.

Mustapha is definitely the easiest character to use in the game. Once you get the hang of the range and timing of his drop kick, it becomes pretty easy to dominate crowds.

However, I found the stage 5 and 6 bosses to be the trickiest. Well placed drop kicks work, but simultaneously dealing with the cronies is tough.

Slice is easy if you drop kick all day on a plane slightly below the bottom-most line. Having a fully loaded uzi on you is good if you screw up.

I really don't think the Slisaurs on stage 7 are that bad either. The rest simply comes with the basic memorization of enemy placement and behavior.

Mess looks like some guy in the 1950's who you'd keep around just so you could bribe him into breaking someones legs for a lollipop.

He's technically the best character, he just demands more skill to use.

With the exception of Slice and the Slisaurs, Mess can dominate the bosses with throw ender combos. The throw ender plants the enemy right in front of you, so they're in the perfect proximity to take the combo again and again. You have plenty of invincibility with the throw, recovery is quick, and the damage is second to none. He's the man when it comes to controlling where you want a boss to be while you're kicking his ass.

Unfortunately, it's really hard IMO to fight Slice/Slisaurs with him, because you need to do a lot of dancing around into grabs. The combos don't really work well against them. Mustapha on the other hand…drop kick X infinity takes care of them.

Messed around some more.

Almost killed Slice.

Forget the Uzi: Rifle is the best weapon against him.

And seems slamming people into him helps too.
