Xeno Crisis - Hard mode 1CC (Neo Geo MVS)

Took me less than a week to work out clearing this game, but starting out it honestly felt like an insurmountable mountain. So much stuff can just go wrong, and the game isn't shy of putting you into unfair situations or spawning stuff right on your ass without any chance to get away.
For the majority of the game, this wasn't my best run by a long shot, and it's kind of a miracle I made it through some of the stages. But after reaching and dying at the final boss like 4 times previously on that day, this game finally saw me finishing him off, and that's what matters. :)
I also think I did fairly well on the final stage, which can be pretty punishing, especially with the new green shield enemies that throw grenades. I think those are new to the Neo Geo version?
Probably would have been faster for me to record a new run than stitch and re-crop this video back together from two different OBS scenes while I was playing at a local private arcade. :P
Bar chatter is dominating the sound initially, but the game audio is there in the background. At 30:38 the video changes to louder game audio.
