Remember the saves!
Also, after the first fight, you can just skip straight to the final boss section
Also, final boss is REALLY easy if you just keep using that forward-forward launcher and dodge into his attacks
Good lukc!
Riposte

I'm pretty sure it is based on parrying. If you parry it, you "block it" and get that interaction.
TheSeks comes off as someone who lacks introspection and sort of just decides things on his more immediate (at times petty or scruby) emotions. This is pretty common on GAF, but you don't usually see it applied to such an extent when it comes to Japanese action games (in that case you see more established dogma that is hardly challenged). This makes him pretty unpredictable and saying DMC2 is better than Bayonetta fits that unpredictability.

To avoid the smoke, dodge in any direction when you see him throw his arms up.
If you're pincering correctly you'll be able to take him down to 10%. The battle will basically go
Attack to 67%, junk, pincer to 5x%, junk, pincer to 40%, junk wheel, pincer to 2x%, junk, pincer to 10%, win.

Yeah, since you're "white" Raiden, you always have to go through the prologue without upgrades.
Yes. We are.
Good I want to buy stuff
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
2 HOURS im trying go to beat this last boss, and FINALLY I manage to cut that 2nd fucking ROCK. Collected 4 nanopastes, was gonna win. MISS the fucking QTE (only time ever in the game) and then proceed to get fucked afterwards
FUUUUCK
I want to die I swear
lol, this is pathetic, 12 hours on the clock, and still haven't finished the game. At least 5 hours spend on the final boss so far

Murasama is basically the best sword in the game when fully upgraded.
Well...maybe the Fox Blade, if you're fine with that whole "one-hit-kill" kind of thing. I've heard the Murasama is better for bosses, though.
Plus, it looks amazing. That has to account for something, right?

Off-topic, but what's this about? Just two different Iori's in KOF XIII, or something new?
Thanks. Wow that's actually really interesting. I wasn't expecting that to happen.
The fox blade is very useful

you can dodge everything using light attack + jump
You can dodge the area attacks if you time it right. Instead of running away from him when you see him preparing for it, dodge twice away from him

Muramasa is inherently better than the default HF Blade, the HF Machete swings significantly faster, the Stun Blade has a random chance to instakill, the Wooden Sword gives you mad bonus points, and the Armor Breaker does just that.
So yes, they are.
Thankfully, I still have all my hair so I don't need a wig.
What about Grey Fox's blade?
I can handle the dude no problem. Its the fucking Shit he throws at you. I can't ever seem to manage the cut for the 2nd one he throws.

From what I heard, the Fox Blade just breaks things

It's broken. Kills everything but bosses in one regular swipe.
No higher damage on bosses?

It doesn't do shit when you have multiple Mastiffs pouncing on your ass from off screen or when you have to deal with multiple RPG guys among other things.
Broken maybe but Revengeance is still a bitch with it.
edit - I mean S ranking Revengeance.

Same damage the HF Blade/Muramasa do, but Muramasa is faster, so it's damage-per-second is higher
It's so satisfying to slash everything.

I think it was determined that Mura outdamages it, but I don't know the specifics.
Say I want to slash left to right, I slowly move the right analog stick to the left and then I quickly move it to the opposite direction, in this case the right, and accurate slash achieved. Is that how you do it too?

Make more Bayonetta glasses I want to use them as my primary set. O:

No, I'm plenty good at the game but I just hate when you get stunlocked by something off screen over and over and over and over and hey look -- you're dead. So, when that happens, multiple times, because you only get hit once... I tend to get a little fucking annoyed.
I don't care if cancels/invincible frames are there to be used in the game, you shouldn't have to rely on them for damned near everything and I'm not going to take the time to use them; it's not fun for me and I get no enjoyment out of it.
Good stuff. I already beat it earlier today and just finished with the rest of Very Hard.
I don't play them often but I've made my way through Ninja Gaiden and the DMC's (real Dante) on the 2nd highest difficulties. My patience for this type of stuff is decreasing each passing year, it seems.
Yeah, yeah, yeah... I know I'm at fault for a lot of it but I don't get pissed at myself when I fuck up; I get pissed at the developers that make it impossible to get out of a stunlocked state before you're hit again.
I hate stunlocks more than anything.
Nooooooo, all that BP! I guess I could still use it on regular encounters for no damage or whatever.

Same deal for me. Suit master race, other wise MGS4 raiden is just so good too. Except I've been using yellow body for revengeance playthrough

Look toward the right when Monsoon is having his monologue and you can see the kitty from the beach. I just found this out today. Are there any other easter eggs like this?
yeah, i know. I'm talking about armor breaker, stun blade, long sword and machete.

You can also see one of the cyborg soldiers petting the kitty
It's probably Bayonetta traveling the dimensions

That's the same cutscene I'm mentioning, actually.

Actually, if you just let go of the right stick after moving it to one side, the slash will occur. So just pull the right stick to one side, move the stick to line up the guide with the targets, adjust slightly with the left stick, then let go of the right stick and it should work.

Do I need to worry about formatting or anything before backing up a PS3 save to a USB drive? Gonna back up the fuck out of my save when I get to Sundowner in R-04.
That lobby fight on Revengeance, never again.

thx.
have you tried the long sword?
The two games you mention have invincibility frames galore. Specifically in NG2, I-frames are absolutely necessary for beating the higher difficulty levels. And animation canceling is a very broad, general technique in every game. Roll canceling, performing a Trickster dash mid-combo, jumping out of a combo... these are all basic forms of canceling.
Also, you can get combo'd to death in NG and DMC... hitstunned to death. It's certainly not something that's unique to MGR.
Anyone have a photo of the long sword?
After all this time I didn't notice that haha, thanks.

Fox Blade was good in helping me get Left Hands, at least.
It's a great tool for rushing through levels to get to certain areas or bosses. It's just way too OP for general play.
Question about the Wooden Sword: The Special Upgrade increases the chances of a KO, but the Power Inhibitor decreases the damage dealt. I'm just not sure how those two work with each other. Does the Power Inhibitor strictly tone down the general damage of the Wooden Sword so that you don't accidentally kill anyone? Can you even kill anyone with the Wooden Sword? I've backstabbed enemies and it's still counted as a No Kill.
BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!

So according to the guide, each time the same mastiff grabs you, it actually requires more wiggles of the left stick to get out of the grab.
What a shitty design decision on their part.
