Curious which are some of the Neo titles you needed to resort to cheese to beat wink ...You know, like having a friend hit pause-unpause repeatedly while you were playing just so you barely had a chance to survive, dodge bullets, catch your breath and figure out where the next safe area was to be?

Viewpoint was that game for me. Hopefully I'll encounter more along the way as I continue to rebuild my collection.

Long live cheese!! :)

A lot of bosses in Neo Geo games need PURE cheese to be able to beat them effectively. The main ones that stand out in my mind right now are RotD as Johann is a piece of shit until you figure out the really easy and cheap way to beat him, and also Princess Sissy in Matrimelee (same again).

There's lot of others though... Metal SLug for one. Once you figure out the really cheap throwing grenades from the tank trick, you can beat all the bosses in a matter of seconds... once I figured that out I can usually beat the game with one credit, even though I kinda suck at it :)

ROTD, but I still can't beat it with Jones and Kang... even when I cheat.

Beating Sissy doesn't require cheese so much as the same move over and over again...

Sissy requires the same move over and over (double jump over and combo from behind), but there is also a totally cheap and nasty way to beat Johann. Just knock him over once (I usually just tag my partner in when he is in the middle of a move) and as he is getting up, jump in and kick him... you must make sure you hit him quite low though as that is the key. He will block, but as soon as you land just sweep him. This will knock him over again, and all you have to do is lather rinse repeat until he dies. Takes a bit of practice and timing, but I have completed the game with every team using this cheap-ass method :)

OK, cool, I'll try that, it sounds easier than my method (max power gauge, SDM SDM SDM, I don't always connect, so he still kicks my ass).

Another really really easy way to beat Sissy is just do any shoryuken type move when she charges at you with a drill kick... you'll cancel her out everytime. Just watch out for any frogs that happen to be jumping around, if you land on one, you still take damage. Chinnen's got a really long arc, so you can usually avoid the frogs with him.

(I learned this method from a guy named 'Pip'. Pip, if you're out there, thankee pardner.)

Yeah someone else mentioned that tactic to me as well, I'll give it a try when my cart arrives next week. Thanks :)
