Dodge Offset isn’t required to beat the game, but if you want PPs, it will become more important.
Once you get it down, that shit is like Neo seeing the code in the Matrix.
You can beat the game without dodge offset, I actually don’t even think i use it intentionally in Bayo 1 or two. I did perfect without it. I gotta get the hang of it. I am still trying to get it like in my reactionary memory lol. Because I never really used it, but i been trying to step it up to make sure I don’t get outstyled in Tag Climax
I get outstyled in Tag Climax by the CPU… 
I’m still on Chapter X or XI on 2nd Climax, I’m constantly going back to previous chapters to farm halos or get all the collectibles and complete all the portals
The CPU is not the pushover i thought it would be. You will start to outstyle them. I got outstyled a few times becuase I figured “oh it’s the CPU so I can jus tdo what ever” so i wasn’t do much and got proven to be a fraud Umbran lmao.
Maybe it’s still in Bayo2, or not, but I miss the Akira Yuki quote from the first Bayonetta, when you get a Pure Platinum in a fight and end it with a Shoulder Ram 
SEGA homages forever > Nintendo homages, by a loooong country mile…
DAMN IT! I have been trying to use that as the finisher for the last day or so and was wondering why I never saw it. I remember the first time I heard it (before knowing it’s existence) I squealed LOL
The more I play NSIC mode the more disappointed I am with the direction they took this game. Platinum games are already niche, why make them more casual friendly? Gonna finish this and jump back into Bayo 1.
It’s not that hard, it sounds like you guys dont use the holds properties of the weapons much. Is that the case?
I heard Witch Time is in NSIC? Bummer if true, but not game breaking…
I think it is, but it’s really short, you get like a half a second.
The move is still in the game, but they changed it so the animation it does is weapon dependent, which I like personally. With Love is Blue it should be the regular shoulder check, some other weapons might still have it too, I don’t know off the top of my head. Not sure about the quote either.
Anyone wanna play some Tag Climax?
Tetsuzanku has always had unique weapon animations.
Are you sure? I remember getting the same shoulder check with every weapon, the only thing that changed was the wicked weave shape. I’m saying Bayonetta’s own animation is completely different in Bayo 2 for that move
I did six in a row last night on one of the trials, but it was the Umbran Climax version, so maybe that’s why I didn’t get the “Jyuunen ha yin dai yo!”.
It looks dope as fuck especially when you hit three big enemies in the air, at the same time. very satisfying 
@gasarocky
Yea, like of you do it with Shuraba she puts the sword blade in front of her shoulder, with the gunchucks she does the palm move herself and the WW follows suit.
I dont remember the other weapons at the moment and I cant check as I no longer have my ps3 copy or my 360 system to play on.
My playtime after almost a week with a WiiU:
^Hoping we get a figure from Bayonetta 2. Her design in 2 is just perfection.
Taking screenshots is the new crack.
How do you take screenshots on a WiiU?
I couldn’t find a “Share” button… 
Yo Im donw for the Tag Climax this weekend. Shit I kinda hope it rains this weekend so I can comfortable chill and game. Also about to import the Bayo 2 soundtrack. Gotta support Platinum at ALL COSTS
