Not impossible--I've done it many times. But yes, it's definitely hard enough so that pulling one isn't a routine thing by any stretch of the imagination--even when you get plenty of air to execute one, hitting all the buttons in the right order at the right time is *hard*.

Hehehe. I wasn't even aware the music in the game *had* lyrics. I wonder if I've just forgotten or if I successfully managed to tune it out.

I know the opening theme song was some weirdly cool Japanese Metal thing, though.
