You'll honestly need a wig for the elevator encounter on r04.
Other than that you shouldn't need a wig. Unless you're a cyborg ninja dog or something

The Freight Elevator? Shouldn't it be fine with the Fox Blade?
It's top action game franchises not action games! DmC and MGR are roughly equivalent but DmC belongs in the DMC franchise. I wanted to play through Revengeance difficulty to gauge the game better. The game is great but it's not "holy trinity of action games" good. The hardest difficulty is essentially similar to a HoH mode in a DMC game... everything dies fast if you parry it which isn't that difficult to do but you also die fast if you don't know what you are doing. The bosses weren't a big upgrade over previous difficulties, if you got the pattern and parry timing window down they go down very fast meaning you have less chances to fuck up. Yeah S ranking is where the game's true depth and skill level lies but there isn't that much to delve into, it's basically fine tuning your fundamentals so you don't get hit and parry effectively. In that regard top level play among various players of MGR is going to look the same where as in a DMC game, there is a large variance in how different top players played the game because of the tools provided.

Oh no I mean waiting for the elevator right in the very beginning. Infinite sub weapon wig

You ge wigs by collecting arms, yeah. You can see which soldiers have arms by looking through Augment Mode and checking to see which soldiers have a flashing green square on them. You can also see their arm glowing green when you go into Blade Mode.
I really hope the health refill system in this game gets noticed by other developers. This gen we've moved towards a system where restoring health takes you away from the action, typically requiring you to just sit behind an object for a couple of seconds. Making aggression the best way to keep health up will hopefully be pretty revolutionary in the complex field of health regeneration systems.
You basically get an S just for finishing it, at least. I'll try it without the wig.
You didn't get it at the results screen?

Did you sneak past the first three guards in front of the gate at the beginning?
The ranked fight? Those count? If so then that's the problem.
Yup, it does. Just bait the two guards and ninja kill them, then rocket launcher the last one. Won't set off any alarms.

I have just bought this game and my impressions so far.
Fuckin awesome!
Fuckin awesome!
You should probably try to have the Armor Breaker maxxed out.
If you have the Murasama and Fox blade, no need to.
I would definitely try to. Wig B will be incredibly useful and you need to get the collectibles to get it unlocked to buy it.

I just upgraded Muramasa completely and I've S-ranked R-001 and R-002 on Hard already. Ultimately that shit relies on stuff you can't upgrade. So play well, basically.
You really just need to upgrade your patience on harder difficulties. lol

I had frustration with the optional battle on R-002, where you need to take out the 3 Mastiffs and only then can you do the optional fight with the spidery dudes, which is a fucking pain in the ass if you fuck it up. Why doesn't it just checkpoint you at the beginning of that fight? :/
The Mastiffs are easily stealthed, and if you can't just use Ripper Mode.

Oh yeah, they're not hard to deal with at all, I can stealth one and use the sai to decimate the others. It's just kinda tedious to constantly redo the bit I can do to get to the bit I want to do.
Yeah. It's a bit annoying that a lot of encounters rely on no health bonuses to be S-ranked. Getting the regular 5000 points seems impossible sometimes.

Especially with that fight, where the UGs just love to spawn right next to you and go "LOL GUESS I'LL SPIN" and fuck up your S-rank.
Isn't the Fox Blade part of the Gray Fox pre-order DLC?

why would anyone do this
It's very possible someone in QA had to do it. And succeeded.

Bless that persons soul.
Parry its tail attack, enter blade blade, and slice away.
Stand a decent ways away to "bait" the attack. I had to destroy one of its leg armors before it would utilize the attack.

What's the parry buff?

He's a Republican.
Yes, which is why I included the Murasama which is second to the Fox Blade in terms of breaking the game.

When does Sam and Wolf's DLC come out?
I dunno, but with this being a Game Of All Time candidate for me, I really hope a "complete edition" with all the DLC comes to PC and WiiU, so their players can experience it, too.

I did it. It's honestly not that bad. To beat.
Getting all S ranks might not be possible though. I'm only in R02.
S ranked R01. But currently stuck trying to beat the three raptors with no damage before moving on.

I think they are referring to the perfect parry/counter hit being super powerful in Revengeance mode
Havent done it myself but I think it does close to maximum damage on anyone but the bosses
(sure to be corrected in 5... 4... 3...)
There we go!
The challenges weren't as bad as I thought they would be. I spent maybe 45 minutes on mission 18 and that was the one I was stuck on for the longest (I was too afraid from the hammer guys at first, so I always ended up fucking up. Then I grew some balls and bashed them to pieces using the pincer baldes, and after that the rest was just a walk in the park). I also need to say, mission 17 gets the prize of shittiest VR mission ever.
I think I'm done with the game for now, I won't have to time to get all the S rankings on revengeance because of uni, I'll do that later when I have time.
Overall, I really loved the game. It's dragged down by the camera and some annoying as hell enemies (looking at you, mastifs in small rooms), but as a whole it's still pretty damn fantastic. I'm impatiently awaiting MGR:R 2 on next gen consoles, it has the potential to be something exceptional.

It does absurd damage on bosses as well, like 50-70% depending on which.
As far as I know it kills every non-boss enemies in one hit, including GRADs, so you are correct.
