WBGhiro: On hard he's a real pain, but he's manageable on normal. You just have to memorize all his patterns the rest is just basic jumping and keeping your finger on the fire button.
also remember there's 2 checkpoints during the fight: after the bridge and his final stage.
All in all I actually like dthe fight made me feel pretty accomplished when I beat him, although he does have some cheap moves in the final stage when he can just push you off the edge and instantly kill you.
Thanks for the reply, hard is not an option for me, I just am not good enough. I think I might have to drop down to easy, but it is good to know there are checkpoints at least.. maybe I will stand a chance....
