Summary of James Chen's amazing stream for anyone who missed it:
Had a lot of trouble beating the boss at first, never once switched targets to take the mooks out. (I tuned in late, didn't see how he started)
Spends a while fumbling around the pit, knowing he's supposed to escape but can't tell how
After a bit, catches on surprisingly fast and makes it out
Finds the first cat room on his own, spends a while hunting for the second and insisting he doesn't want spoilers from the chat
Eventually gives in and looks at the answer
Dies to the cat more times than I can count, with Twitch chat yelling strats until he gets it
STREAM DIES RIGHT AS HE WINS #SPLICED #COLLUSION
So James decides he'll do it again so we can see it
Halfway through the New Game+, Mike Z decides to stream himself racing to do it before James
Despite James having a head start and NG+, Mike catches up and they're neck and neck on the cat
Mike dies (twice), James wins on the first try
Delivers an impassioned speech gushing about how much he loved it and that everyone needs to go support it
"I am better than Mike Z at his own game"
James' IRL cat is fascinated by the television and tries to catch the leaves on the title screen
