Jeez, this thing is so fricken demoralizing. And stupidly simple too. I can never really return after screwing up, which is something that frequently happens so I just end up killing myself with rockets. Any tips when and where to swing, bring myself back up from those damn spotlights. I don't know why this is really kicking my ass. I think at this point most of my failure trying to get this damn thing thing is purely mental.

Any tips?

After a billionth try I got my final Yashichi. Jeez this game some time. I used the old, grapple up, use shotgun to start swinging, swing, and grapple up trick to get this thing.

The old school difficulty this game has can really make you feel down.
