This was one of the harder 1all's I've pulled off as of late. This game's RNG is vicious, there is more than enough jank in the programming (See: @9:40 for some real bullshit), and the ship I am using, MaoMao, is particularly weak.
At full power she has a very strong shot, but she has the lowest ammo count of all 8 characters, meaning she powers-down from full very quickly. You see me use my shot sparingly as a result. Her bomb, while helpful, does not really aid with recovery if you die due to your low shot power. If you do die, as I do late in the game, I kill myself a second time just to generate an extra power-up to be viable. Even then MaoMao has a much harder time with enemies (being unable to kill some of them outright) and bosses, who can put her into a really bad spot just by virtue of living long enough to fuck you over.
Despite this I am pretty happy with this run and look forward to pushing this character a little farther. She is underplayed for a reason, but it's an interesting challenge! Most people pick Kohful (Sweden, P1) or Keith (USA, P2), who are very easy to 1all with. That is who I recommend! But there are many characters and playstyles to experiment with!
