I'm getting concerned that I might not be able to post participation this week. I keep on loosing my last live(s) on Bebop before the sewer level. I'm also having trouble performing the special attack consistently and that seems to be the key to long term survival.
Nonetheless, I'm not throwing in the towel yet. I'm going to give the game some more tries before tomorrow night.
Bebop is tough because he acts randomly, but he's easy to corral. The best thing you can do is let him attack first and then gain the advantage, because he always wants to attack first. If you can jump over his lasers and then kick him you will be able to press him. Sometimes he will charge which screws up your momentum. Do not try to attack him while he's charging and keep the battle away from the open sewer.
The third level is thankfully easy and you should be able to gain your first life by the end of the third boss. (If you need an extra point somewhere along the line to achieve this, hitting the girl on the skateboard in level 2 garners 1 point!)
