This video was recorded using an emulator but is not tool assisted.

Notes: The difficulty of stage 8 ramps up later in the level, and my mistakes become more evident. Mr. X is an ass, and to be honest I don't really have a method to take him out in good time. I probably should have practiced against him more. During the fight I almost get hit several times (it is really obvious where, too) but manage to get off clean thanks to some quick turning punches and a lot of toss spamming. Despite all this, the fight went pretty well. It didn't take too long and looks pretty slick in my opinion.

Comments and rates appreciated.
