Damnit. After leveling up a bunch, stocking up on some great weapons and healing items, I still couldn't beat that first psychopath.
There's no healing anywhere near the boss and I'm worried if I move too far away he'll heal.
That C.U.R.E. guy is a cheap as hell. Even after getting the dodge skill, it's still too slow to avoid his attacks consistently. What am I supposed to do here? Hitting the guy doesn't stun him, so if I attack I'm going to get stabbed even with my really fast weapons (Tenderizers). You would think a beginning boss would be a little easier.

No food items anywhere? Did you check garbage bins? Just throw them and sometimes food will come out. Don't eat spoiled food, because that will make chuck throw up. But the tactic I used was hit him twice, dodgeroll

All I found was a single snack. I didn't know you could throw bins for health though. Not sure what my level is, I just unlocked the dodge.

Well that helps.
I will add that the voice acting for that guy is really good. Actually that whole scene is pretty well made, are all the psychopath intros this good?

How about the electric wheel chair? Would he just get hit when he dives at me, or will the game somehow let the hit still connect? There's a room to build it nearby and I have no clue where a light machine gun is.

That's strange. I had no problem with that dude, and yet I've died on the chef four times now. :lol I'm dreading going back there, but that was when I was around level 20... so maybe I stand a chance now.

Didn't work for me. Instead of walking into it, he punched it to the side.
You could still punch him with it though, or just throw it.

You don't even need the rolling dodge to avoid the C.U.R.E guy's attack. He runs at you and then does a jump attack when he's close enough. So long as you're running away from him when he starts the jump, he'll miss, and then you can beat on him. Get a few attacks in, and run away before he counterattacks. He'll either run at you again, or jump into one of the stalls, and appear elsewhere. Either way, just repeat the process.
I didn't find many of the psychopaths particularly difficult, as I realised they all seem to share a common pattern. Dodge an attack, go for them as soon as their attack animation ends, get two or three hits in, and then run before they counterattack.
I used the knife gloves for pretty much every psychopath, as they do good damage, and are fast. The Defiler is great for certain fights though, if they leave themselves open for long enough for you to use the circular swing attack (which actually starts up faster than a standard swing). You'll almost undoubtedly take a hit, but you'll do a lot of damage first.
I'm surprised so many people are having such difficulty with the chef. I actually found his constant healing made him more vulnerable, as it leaves him open to an attack, and two or three hits from a good weapon will easily do more damage than however much he healed (unless you're slow in reaching him).
Oh, and for anybody struggling with the second from last fight (ie. the last fight before Overtime), I found that's the one psychopath where guns are actually useful.

Speaking of skill attacks, I have the drop kick, curb stomp, jump kick and front kick along with some body smash moves. I love to put on the red track suit and some gloves and knives, either type, and go to town.
Wow, where have I been? Playing the game I guess.

It's a yey. Second playthrough and I'd actually say it's probably better than DR1. Not for everyone, but if you like, chances are you'll love it. I was playing through in tandem with a friend who never liked the first one, and our sporadic communication through MSN pretty much consisted of a Keanu Reeves-like succession of "WHOAS" and other such exclamations as we discovered the next insanely imaginative bit. It's his game of the year now.

The last 5% of a psychopath's energy is their most dangerous for me.
Because that's the time I go "THIS IS TAKING TOO LONG" and go off my strategy and end up dying.

I grabbed this for PS3, never having touched dead rising before. I barely made the first couple of story cases on time and missed the 7:30 PM one due to running into a Psycho when I was least expecting it. I killed him but ran into the CURE guy shortly afterward and died horribly. I restarted and traced my steps and owned him last night. Having a lot of fun learning this game.
I also tried TIR last night, won my first episode and came in 4th in the next one. The winnings were ludicrous either way. It's an amusing diversion, but I'd rather keep my money low to keep the game a challenge.

How to beat
Sullivan
Ok, so basically you need to fill your entire inventory with guns, anything but handguns really. Then you go upstairs and trigger the cut scene, after the cutscene and the fight starts go to your right and stand in the corner until he throws a stick of dynamite at you, roll out of the way and let it explode (it might take a few tries to get it to explode), once the hole is in the ground, drop down onto the highest crate. Look up to his platform and you will be able to shoot at him without having any retaliation. He will be rolling constantly so don't just aim and fire in one spot, watch his pattern and find the best spot to shoot at. If you need more guns/ammo just drop down and take the elevator downstairs, you can find a bunch of handguns in the restaurant to your left, or you can go find other guns elsewhere. There is also a bathroom to your right for saving
