Spent the last couple of days trying to beat Renegade (Arcade version). Finally got the 1CC (not that continues exist in this game)!!
Learning how to do throws and how to walk up to enemies really saved my skin. That last level with the gangsters was a bitch but I managed to get through patiently. The boss with the gun isn't bad on his own but with 3 knife wielders its incredibly frustrating. A single stab or bullet can instantly kill you, and with only up to two lives you don't get much practice in. The 2 minute timer is my worst enemy. Even playing stage 3 as well as I can, it ends with 15 seconds left on the clock. It's only a 5 minute long game but it must've taken me like 50 tries to get through it.
Also started Mario Odyssey, I "beat" New Donk City so far. Pretty fantastic and inventive game, I really love how intuitive the transformations are and the perfect blend of tight platforming and solid exploration. The game doesn't have any moments of tedium like Breath of the Wild did.
