That means you can't get hit like more than twice. Give it up and tell the truth.

That's a screenshot of the high score list on my old 1-slot board on my MVS. Note the "ALL" on the top score. NAM-1975 can easily be done on one credit too. I have watched a recording of a Japanese player finishing Viewpoint on one life. While I haven't done Magician Lord, I definitely see how it could be possible.
Also, you don't seem to know what you're talking about. On default Level-4, it takes three enemy attacks to wipe out a character like Milky on Shock Troopers 1. Big characters can withstand up to four. Double the number of hits if you're playing the version where all the teammates share a lifebar. And have you forgotten all the lifeups that one can pick up on Shock Troopers? You obviously don't know what you're talking about.
You want any more proof about anything in specific?
