Happy Year of the Tiger!Sosuko2022-05-10Version 1.0

Another year, another short but great Rockman hack from Puresabe!

Compared to some of the past years, this hack is a little more straightforward when it comes to the actual boss room, phases, etc... but the smaller room works well for a highly mobile boss like this one. There are lots of great attacks that were designed for Neon Tiger in this one that get pretty creative and include some moves that may be nods to another fantastic game on the SNES...

I will say, the difficulty of this one is definitely toned down from some of the other New Year's hacks that Puresabe has done; I was able to beat it on my 1st attempt and am not a Rockman expert by any means. Since you start the fight with 2 air dashes (i.e. the leg chip from the original game), you can very quickly dodge attacks, even if you've committed to a jump a little early. It also seemed like the vertical air dash was sped up from the original game, making it much more useful. Either way, an awesome hack like all the rest of the New Year's ones that I wholeheartedly recommend!
