This is fucking killing me! HAHAHAH
Beat Sundowner. Boy did that fight start off hilariously poorly.
I died a lot at first because I thought you were supposed to do a parry off his charge attack and then use blade mode to slice weak spots on his shields. No weak spots showed up of course, but that didn't stop me from thinking that I was supposed to cut the shields along the lines of the symbol drawn on them. Yay for suicide by explosives. Once I finally realized what I was supposed to do, things went well. Phase two was a bit dull, though, even with him swinging pillars at you.
Eh? I do a forward defensive offense to go through those.
I beat him. Knowing that you can parry the blades did it. Still no clue what to do with the fire part but whatever.
... you are. lol
The little arms on the shields have a blue overlay. You need to slice them without hitting any of the shields.
Whoops. I always jumped or Ninja Run through those.
I stand corrected!
There's an easier way. Jumping Polearm does a down stab. He has no attack that can retaliate and it hurts him 5% every time.

Did I just get drop kicked. LOL.

Jetstream dlc on very hard is DONE, although I feel terrible about skipping some VRs and the fight with two GRADS, Is it recommended to taunt them? parries don't seem to do much damage, any strategies would be appreciated. Also moving on to revengeance difficulty, which I have heard is easier due to the parry counters strength.
Fighting Sam is some beautiful simplicity. A raw test of mechanics. It's like the game is saying "You had one job: Learn to perry; Did you do it?"
Sam received my answer.
Edit: Btw, it's kinda dumb the game doesn't take the two minutes it takes to explain Ripper mode in the game and tells you to go play a tutorial. I could've used that shit fighting Sam.

Yeah, I know there's an easier way. There's a lot of ways. You can bypass that cutting portion entirely... but that is the "intended" way to beat him.
I think there is nothing in the game you can't dodge with it.
Isn't there a move you can ninja run through? I think the side swipe, if you just ninja run into it, Raiden dives through the middle of it. It's been a while though, so I may be remembering incorrectly.
Sundowner confirmed for worst boss:

Yep, you can.
I don't know why I never tried. I guess I assumed that the blades would pull you into the wall or whatever even if you dodged correctly.
Before you start complaining, please read some of the posts earlier in this thread regarding help on the final boss.
I think the only thing you can't defensive offense is the side swiping laser. The invincibility frames of any direction of defensive offense run out too soon.
Yeah, I figured that out eventually. It was just that at first I thought I was supposed to slice spots on the shields themselves after that parry.
You know what enemies are secretly the best but don't get nearly enough love when people talk about this game? GRADS. I especially love their appearance at the start of Chapter 3, after your first scuffle with the police. The way they slide into the intersection and start unloading their payload on you... SO. COOL.
They're kinda like little Metal Gear Rex's on rollerskates. I love them.
And that kick when you finish them off? So good.
that's like the most straightforward, typical boss fight in the game. there's no mind reading required whatsoever. just basic stuff like any other video game. avoid/block/dodge and then punish...
when the blades come down the easiest way to deal is to dodge with Offensive Defense. You'll go right through it easily. Eventually the blades drop down and linger so you can beat them up. For the lazers, just ninja run to avoid and Zandatsu the monsters if you need to heal.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
GRADS are that little taste of Vanquish x Metal Gear in my Rising.
GRADS are my favorite enemy in the game just due to how mobile they can be.
I found that no matter how you time it if your entire movement would be inside the blast radius you get hit. If you activate it and you get hit mid-evade, but your ending position is outside the radius, you're unharmed. This is key for Jetstream armstrong as well as Khamsin's sandstorm whirl (although for sandstorm I just run away as that's a bitch to time correctly).
That's what I've gathered, anyway.
yup, better to dodge them IMO.
Reading this made me realise that I finished the game not using it once.

I thought it didn't increase damage vs bosses.
The game really feels like Vanquish translated into a character action game to me.
Which reminds me, this morning I was thinking PG are the only studio to use bullet time as more than just a gimmick. There's actual to it's application in their games.
Im on the last stage and have yet to use it. I just finally did the tutorial after beating Sam/watching the (fantastic) intro scene to chapter 7.

They're the most reminiscent of mechas that strafe and dash around.

Haha. I wonder how much KojiPro had to do with the boss design. The MGR bosses fit the diversity-bill (mechanically) for what I expect from a Metal Gear game and were all really cool, characteristically. No way P* did that all on their own...right?
Hahahahaha awesome cheese

Some of the tips start here, but try it on your own first. You might not need the help. And if you haven't purchased Defensive Offense, you really should now.
Rising's bosses sure beat the trousers off the B&B Corp from MGS4. Like, it's not even a contest. I like to think that's the Platinum difference.
Why do that when you can just OD around him?
the bosses really acheived a great mix of MGS and Platinum (specifically Anarchy Reigns) style imo. hit the spot for both. I haven't played an MGS game in years so those elements were so enjoyable for me.

Korekados obviously rather proud of the early bosses Kojima Productions designed, too: Just to brag a little bit about our designs, we believe that the bosses we created for Metal Gear Solid: Rising were probably some of the best in the series, but Saito came in and said, Were not going to use these bosses. So youll not be seeing them this time around.
Fixed. I don't buy it.

Apparently Nintendo recently fixed that, you can now output rca audio while using hdmi. It unfortunately still only outputs the limited rgb range though, which isn't very pretty on monitors.

I managed to take the demo music files for Armstrong and Sam's themes, renamed them to their equivalent in the final game and replaced them in the archive, and the game doesn't load them at all
Listening to the game audio files is pretty cool though, it sounds better than a CD ever will.
Good on Saito. Despite not being an actual unit, the Desperado captains are the best unit in the series since MGS3.
I love MGS4, but the bosses are just an excuse to look at some (admittedly quite beautiful) models.
or you can just ninjarun/jump every attack and when hes standing still just use charged pincher combo from maximum distance it still works

Still on VH run. Will get to DLC next weekend!
Hey, it just occurred to me, you don't need a TV for the WiiU. You could play the game entirely on the GamePad! So if you're itching for more Platinum, but don't have a TV, a WiiU with TW101 and Bayonetta 2 might be good.
Yeah that's true haha
