Anyone beaten it? Got any tips?

I'm slo-mo-ing to the best of my ability, but no dice.

You gotta hit the bullets back at it. It's tough, but once you get the swing down, it's aight. If you have any more questions, lemme know. I AM the best gamer in lawrence ;)

Nathan. Duh it's easy, you got to be good at games. Don't worry, I suck at games too. But at least I can beat the helicopters in Viewtiful Joe.

No you don't have to hit the bullets back.

The simplest way to hit it is to get under it and slo mo, it'll drop on you while you smack it.

For dodging, be sure to slow mo past the bullets whenever it shoots, and don't get hit by the blades when they're red (for this boss, slow mo will let you dodge ANYTHING, so keep your finger tight on that trigger).

More pointers:

A good way to rack up MASSIVE smack is to knock the bad guys into it in slow motion. ANYTHING hurts more, a lot more, when time is slowed. This also applies for knocking back missiles and or bullets (the bullets are really tricky unless you shotgun the damn thing, get right in front of it and let loose).

I'm NOT a bad gamer! :cry:

*Sniff*

Anyway, I got past it and haven't had any problems since. I even got to the point where you fight two helicopters in a row and I beat 'em my first try, so :P.

The easiest way is to manuver it so that a big line of the little guys is between you and the helicopter, then slow-mo and send as many as you can flyin' at it. That usually will take over half of the heli's life bar in one go. :)

Son of a benchmark! I did it again! :evil:

Usually the php boards I go to prompt for username and password if you try to post without logging in. :oops:

Switch the boards to a different color/style in your profile, s'what I did, then when I'm logged in, it looks different. If it's on standard Cobalt, I'm still logged out.
