i need help with vigilante

[eldobhatós cigányjósnő]

So after beating the pepperman i of course wen't to floor 2 beated all of the levels there then i wen't on to beat vigilante.
Did i succeed? of course.. not! i got my ass beaten in to hell
i sometimes die to him after just dealing 3 hp to him and then die cuz i was foolin around trying to see what was better to do then just spam the shooting button and i die after dealing 5 hp to him not because of the ghost it's because of the rocket launcher which doesn't really make sense cuz i don't think that in those times sheriff's had access to rocket launchers, but i don't know since i don't live in that time or were born in that time.
So can someone tell me a good strategy to beat him? thanks.
TL:DR
Man dies a ♥♥♥♥ ton to the second boss and asks for help.

-You can charge your shots by holding down the shoot button. It's a little bit weird compared to charge shots from other games, since releasing the button before it gets to fully charge does nothing and it auto fires when it's fully charged. But, if you get the hang of it, try to time your charge shots when he's about to get out of his "stunned"/invincibility state. Saves time.

-Get the hang out of parrying. If you don't know, doing the pose (C by default) before an attack hits you makes you parry the attack. It doesn't deal damage to bosses, but it's pretty handy for a lot of attacks the bosses throw at you.

-Vigilante always does the same attacks in the same order. Memorize them.

-Get rid of the ghost ASAP. It takes only one normal shot to kill him. The cow is also quite annoying, but I think it takes more than one charge shot to get rid of it (been a while since I've done the fight), so I usually just avoid or parry it.

The rocket launcher is relatively straight foward to deal with:Move out of the way and jump to dodge the fire.

ok so i don't know if i have a skill issue now or i just need to get a little bit better at the game cuz i can easily beat the noise's first phase but the second phase just makes me slip on a thousand banana peels (not really) and no it's not because that he gets out of his "punc h me in the face" phase quicker and he is quicker at doing attacks and has like one or two new attacks it's because of those little ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ that come from the balloon they just throw me off because i suck against the guys with armour with forks enemies (i forgot the name of them) the only way i know how to beat those guys in this game is to get damaged and then pick them up and throw them that's how i know how to beat those guys and since the bosses give you health i need to know how to deal with those guys better.

The bombs? You can parry them.

Even though I said the parry doesn't deal damage to bosses, the parry does kill enemies, including the fork knights. Alternatively, with enemies that have that sort of protection, you can jump on top of them, which stuns them and lets you pick em up safely. Or you can ground pound them. Or you can scare them away if you run at them with enough speed.

yeah, timing your charge shots with his scuttles, I think its like the shortly before he starts moving hold your charge, and hit(been a while since I fought him, but I used this strat). After that just shot him with 2-3 regular shots and he'll get knocked back and you can get a hit in.

The only real concern after that is the Vigilante's dad showing up as a gohst.

If you time it right you can almost stun-lock the vigilante with the big shot + 2 small everytime he's just recovered from his hp loss. He can't barely act if you do it well. I admit it's cheesy tho (no pun intended)
