Did anyone get MP3? (no spoilers)

[A Black Falcon]

Go get the wavebeam combo.

Yeah, I did go and get that. It should help if I can actually get to the invisible drone...

ABF/ Unless you're holding the gamecube controller with your face there's no way in hell you shouldn't be able to dodge the pirate's shots. You might get a few pot shots here and there with large groups but come on, no one is that bad, a god damn bowl of oatmeal can dodge them. get a pirate by himself and dance for a while until you get it down, watch the animations, listen for audible clues and never stop moving.

The ones that turn invisible and charge you and attack with swords are hard... sure if you hit one with a charged shot they're stunned, but if you miss (and with their invisiblity it's easy to miss) they'll hit you hard... and for some reason the power beam pirates seem hard. The time before last I died at the group of three powerbeam pirates past the room that fills with poison (they hide behind some displays and desks and stuff so I was having trouble hitting them...), and the two in the bottom of the room with that huge pillar you rotate (with the three colored tracks on it) always seem to hurt me too (maybe because there's nowhere to hide in that small, round room). Oh well...

All it takes is doing poorly against one group of enemies and you can lose a lot of health.
