How the everloving gently caress are you supposed to defend against someone wielding a staff ie the girl before Boss 2. Neither dodge or parry straight up loving work at all when you try to counter a staff with another staff. It's incredibly frustrating knowing that you are absolutely hitting the button and less than nothing is happening.



With staffs most of the time it's block + DOWN to dodge (unless it's a foot sweep, then it's a block + up). Also if you do a focus mode leg sweep that should make her drop her weapon.

The last boss is going to give me a stroke. How the gently caress does anyone do this.

For phase 1 of the last boss, he is particularly vulnerable to Lightning fist, the one where you do H pause H. Duck the final attack in his combo to create opening, then lightning fist. After the final hit, do Lightning fist again. Even when he ducks the first hit, there's a good chance the flurry of blows will still nail him.

This doesn't work nearly as well in phase 2, but someone from earlier in the thread has a video of something he called the "rubdown" which is to get into the rhythm and stay aggressive while at the same time be ready to defend at drop of hat. I find that works very well.
