super c is heavily pattern based, enemies never spawn differently so once you realize that it just means getting the right weapon for the job

generally the spreader is useful anywhere but mandatory for the elevator stage when the bubbles show up

the end of the last level has a part where the ceiling drops and enemies spawn up through it where you cannot shoot, the flame is useful here (you get it right before this part) because it explodes when it hits a solid object including walls allowing you to kill the enemies quite well before they get too close.

on stage 6 (i think) there is a white ground top-down view stage, a quarter into the level there will be a evil vagina field where they randomly pop out of the ground and vanish, best tactic is to hug the right wall and quickly move through the area as you will only be killed 1 out of 4 times you do this (they spawn too quickly to react if they spawn under you)

with those tips the game should be much easier.

I used to be absolutely unstoppable on AoE2. Played in the Zone, had over 800 wins to 13 losses in 1v1 matches. Eventually I had to stop though, it got to the the point where if I made a "mistake", as in, misplaced a lumber camp so that it would take a quarter of a second longer to drop off, I'd suffer a breakdown.


I can also beat Kurosawa 2 (the Ralari defense mission in Wing Commander) about half the time.

Donkey Kong, the original arcade version.

I hold the high score at my local arcade, and all of my friends sucked my nutsack for me to beat that segment in Donkey Kong 64.

I'm also a fucking pro at Balloon Fight.
