I've considered that, but missing the Kraid quick kill spells instant death pretty much since you have nearly no missiles after and no high-jump. Same thing with Phantoon really. If you don't know his patterns very well it's very hard to survive with such minimal health. Probably same with the other bosses I haven't really gotten to quite yet.

On a side note I got 43'01 on Ceres Escape yesterday Was rather happy with that considering I was hard pressed to ever get 40 before I practiced it for like an hour. I think the key thing I was missing was the ledge grabbing. It made getting up to the elevator so much easier to time so I don't run into like every single steam shot haha.
