That's good to know that you can take out all the blue guys first, which should make that section easier. At least this game doesn't have infinitely respawning enemies such as in other similar NES games.
The controls for doing the knee drop (one of the most effective moves in the game) are just too close to the controls for doing the slide attack. This is a legit control issue that screws me over quite a bit.
EDIT: This strategy works. Just stay on the left until the blue guys are gone, and then you only have to deal with the zombies.
