A perfect start until this guy decides to go all Iron Body Zangief

I guess this is what happens when you expect the machine to be on NORMAL difficulty but it's set a bit harder. Typically, on NORMAL, it only takes 4 shots. If you shoot too late then he'll go into a invincible throwing animation and you just have to stand there and watch the researcher get thrown off of the bridge. RIP.

Someone battling the emperor over there lol

[@egregiousguy]

Yeah, the guy next to me was adamant on beating HoD2.

[@alyvon9701]

I hear some guy fighting Emperor there, sounds like he got hit by one of the spheres, that's kinda cute

[@egregiousguy]

Yeah, he used up a few credits on Emperor but muscled through.

This happened to me before and I don't get a chance to get inside curien's mansion

[@jorge201021]

Csnt find arcades anywhere but i did recently get my sinden light gun and after decades i played this game at home in the way it was meant to be.

[@RobertJGowans]

This brings back so many memories, lol.

Not enough quarters

[@jorge201021]

So this happened to me too. It seems to happen a lot when the game is in very hard. Ive only made it to the main entrance of the mansion once. So far i had to take the sewer route many times with hard difficukty

[@egregiousguy]

What's strange is that I've been playing on this same machine for several weeks now with no issues and all of a sudden this killed 3 of my runs this week.

[@jorge201021]

@@egregiousguy yeah. I also noticed that the game occassionally will have more enemies in the beginning level. Maybe adaptive difficulty?
