The last level of Fist Hell expects too much

[PK SPACE JAM]

Am I right? I mean holy ♥♥♥♥ I got to the final boss at least 2 or 3 times and its just a total ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ - after having to deal with the 3 aliens and others at once the game should at least give you a checkpoint for the final boss - or I dunno maybe skill issue on my part but I otherwise think the game is good and challenging, Paradiso though is patently absurd.

Yeah, it's long, and the boss at the end is a huge cluster of chaos that's difficult to deal with.
If you know you're about to get hit by an enemy in a crowd, don't be afraid to use the spin kick to get them off. Even if it sacrifices some HP, that's better than getting hit and having the HP taken away anyway.

Dealing with the aliens at the end of the beach segment is annoying, but I think if you scroll the screen in tiny increments, it can be possible to trigger just one of the aliens before the other two join in, maybe that can help.
Also I recommend playing as Jay and upgrading attack power immediately after level 1, and mostly sticking to punch combos. Throws are too weak to be your primary way of dealing with enemies, even as Amy who has the best throw stat. And items are generally not too helpful either.
Throws can be useful to get a crowd away from you, but for the most part, the basic punch combo is the absolute best way to deal with the vast majority of enemies. It helps if you can learn the timing for avoiding the kick finisher from coming out - hit four times, wait, hit four times, wait - it's better than constantly kicking them away from you.

well I ended up doing it with the boxer following your advice, leveling everything other than throw since I can't level that anyway, not looking forward to cherrying this anytime soon lol

It's fairly easy once you have mapped out all of your character's action in your head.
I cherried yesterday morning, and tried it again this morning and did a no-continue for the 2nd time in a row.

If you're out of idea, check a speedrun on Youtube, it'll show you what key reflexes/instincts you're missing at the moment.

hes got a huge hit box, so if you get in super close and keep attacking verring left and right he can have trouble even hitting you. I found stage 4 a lot harder

Somehow the stage that killed me the most was stage 3. The two "purple tacklers" at the end can really rack up the damages.
