the rooftop was absolutely brutal for the bbbws but if you have a throwing weapon those are always great, listen for the rear up and toss

Of course I beat the level my very next session after bitching about it. Works like a charm every time. I even beat some sort of secret boss fight that I got sucked into when somebody threw me into an arcade machine. E: I’m sure it was all your advice. Thanks a bunch.

Thanks for the tips everyone, I was having similar problems and googling 'biker BBWs' returned nothing but a series of unrelated short documentary films featuring variable cinematic quality and universally poor commentary.

It's such a great level. It's got massive combo potential and minimal surprises outside of tasers. It's a good time on manic. You get to beat up A LOT of cops.

When not being offensive, be defensive. Their jump often comes as a one two which is an opportunity to beat one of both into a wall and commence robot decommissioning.

I can't decide if calling them BBBWs or Fat Bottomed Girls is funnier I did absolutely terrible on a level, like walked out with barely a life left and used all but one star, and got a B I know I've done better before and gotten a shittier score and my combos aren't that sexy, it is a mystery

I'm trying to roll up a high score on hardest and you lose enemies to them sliding then they move with total accuracy to kick you after. It's just annoying and sucks. Let me beat these goons to death with style instead of having to throw like a manic, game.

The endless ninjas who slide in with that lovely triple kick piss me off so much. And it's basically unreactable and does a shitload of damage on a floor when all you've got are 3 apples and almost certainly have to save your star move for that double Goro + Condor pack.

It's weird to think that it's animal cruelty that pisses Shiva off enough that he takes it to the streets. AFTER losing most of his students to the Ys.

Yeah absolutely. The trick is to throw into everyone, use whatever your big mobility is to reposition on the other side and then repeat. It's loving boring. Although on the final screen there's a pillar you can turn into a protected unlimited juggle zone.

You have to save the mop for the red Goros, but the white Goros are what you have to burn a star move on. If you go all the way to the right side of the screen as they spawn you can usually get both in a wall combo.

For Twin Snake ladies, I am pretty sure they lose the close range kick move that Diva had, so you only worry about two moves, they're ground elemental and their linear horizontal poke. I'd recommend focusing on the fire lady first, because her ground attack is instant damage, and so is her poke. Even if you get caught off guard by poison lady, her ground attack is damage over time that can be recovered, and a Scorpion get over here that does no (or minimal) damage.

Oh god I finally beat it. Must have taken me at least 200 attempts over the past 2.5 days, no joke. There are just so many things that can wipe you, so many. The one saving grace is that the boss is easy as poo poo, if you can get to him.

It definitely encourages you to strongly play for a 4k combo early on because an extra life quick goes SO FAR in it. If you can get that down consistently it's a lot less threatening.

It is finished.  The only upside to Y Tower Mania is that the last few chapters were a breeze comparatively. I don't even know what kind of impossible skill and luck it would take to S Rank most of these stages. Now that I've proven my true beatemup credentials I can go back to blasting through co-op on Normal.
