Kudos to whoever designed the T-073-M boss fight and for sticking with it.
I could imagine there were internal discussions if something as challenging and demanding of one's patience maybe is too much to ask of today's average player.

I have seen people beat that boss in 2 minutes.

Hadn't any problems either once I got the hang of it. Took me a little under 10 minutes or so.

I just wanted to express appreciation that a boss fight of this calibre made it into the game at all, especially these days where most players just want to have everything handed to them, without any significant effort and investment of time and patience on their part.

Once you know what to do and how to do it T.O.M is not really hard to beat. I like this boss more than I like the final level for sure.

It took me over 400 tries, but it's a good boss. Certainly memorable.

Kudos on really generous checkpoints
