Biohazard 2 ClaireA 1:12:16 (part 8/8)

This is the part taken from the VHS tape I was simultaneously recording to (see part 1 description for details).

The beginning of the Birkin fight is planned - I induce him with that positioning to pounce on me and use its time-consuming mouth grab on purpose. Immediately following the mouth grab, his most damaging attack, is the best time to use the second first aid spray. After that, I run past him before continuing to fire and hope that he moves little enough to take the remaining shots without issue. He usually hits me some more, and following the mouth grab it only takes a few more hits to get Claire killed if I don't previously use the first aid spray.

Birkin's mouth grab is difficult to avoid no matter what you do so I thought I'd just optimize a fight that takes it on purpose. Drawing Birkin to that corner also makes him less likely to jump onto the platform, which can require repositioning and manual aiming of the grenade launcher to continue hitting him.

I looked like a tool for a moment when I missed a shot. =/ Even if I stopped firing, the pounce would have forced me to restart the shots anyway. The only thing I could've done was think in time to aim up for the shot. The fight is still good and finishes in standard time for that strategy (3:28-3:29 on the countdown timer at the end). I came up with a way of beating him with 3:36 remaining without needing a first aid spray. It's very unreliable however and requires him to act a certain way.

I see... No plan to host an uncut version of the run either? I could host it for you if you'd like.
