I’ve never tried it myself but BMC looks like you’re pretty much tapping Blade Mode then releasing ASAP. This shortens to recovery on attacks. <br><blockquote class=“Quote”>

The letdown with Bloodlust for me was that it’s used in pincer blade mode only. Sundowner was dual wielding which was pretty boss. True, it doesn’t have a lot of moves but it’s pretty much unstoppable and rips through any defense. I’ve stunned large armored enemies in under second with it. It’s useless imo in VR missions because you have everything at a base level. <br>

Even though I was aware of it at the beginning, for some reason I completely forgot about the upgrades and just played through the game without them… on hard mode.

Bout to try a Hard Run. I don’t look forward to fighting the final boss, he was a bastard on Normal. I still need to run through the game again anyways, missed out on a few Left Arms and VR Missions

Very Hard=Beat Hard. Revengeance=Beat Very Hard or use the Konami code. <br><br>Not too fond of kill all enemies VR Missions. Odd that I can cancel into parry stance and evade rather well ob Very Hard, yet I seem to to having more trouble with it in VR Missions.<br>

Final Boss tactic<br><br><br>[details=Spoiler]<br>I just did 2 heavy attacks and dodge/BMC my second playthrough<br>You can ignore the Metal Gear chucking parts by ninja running away<br>If you do the parts, you get 3-4 nanopaste<br>YOU HAVE TO AIM BLADE MODE WITH BOTH STICKS no need to change settings, just move the camera and angle blade mode properly<br>YOU DON’T NEED TO HIT ALL 4 SQUARES DURING THIS, 3 is enough IIRC<br>When he’s healing, note the yellow zandatsu square! Get behind him and Blade Mode the back of his head<br><br>His attacks glows yellow he is grabbing, spam defensive offensive to get away<br>He has another lunge attack, he’ll come at you with a glowing fist, parry or get hit (or don’t get take damage from what I remember) and you’ll get a QTE, it does a good chuck of damage to him for succeeding either. Both make you retrieve your sword.<br>His fire attacks, the only annoying one is the huge pillars that take a while to go away. The other 2 you can dodge and the cracked Earth one has tells, stand in a spot where the ground isn’t cracked.<br>You can evade the big boom he does but it’s better to dodge immediately when you see it and run away or keep dodging back to get away fast<br>His lunge kick he can feint, sometimes dodge hits and clashes sometime you’ll get away, I think it’s better to parry this or parry and if it’s a feint dodge or parry his 4-5 hit combo.<br><br>[/details]<br>

<div class=“QuoteText”>Like the shit thats pissing me off is when he comes at you, then you have to commit to a parry which you can try to dash cancel out of but then he can just fake it into the unblockable blast which you cant ninja run out of because youre in the dash recovery frames.

His attacks come out so fucking delayed that it forces you to empty parry, then you get hit as raiden is recovering from the whiff parry, only parry comes out in anticipation of an attack.<br><br>This bosses AI is very unchoreographed and its kinda cheap with 0 rations and 4 attacks and you’re pretty much dead.<br><br>Not to mention the Zan cutscenes are like slicing a strand of hair down the middle.<br><br>He stands in the fucking fire so you cant even read his visual cue for what hes about to do.

First glitch I’ve come across so far.<br><br>I was in the middle of the Hammerhead QTE. I somehow got hit while jumping on the rockets (Presumably the other Hammerhead hit me.) and I got stuck in mid-air. Can’t get down, but I can go up.<br><br><br><br>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNSB6Kvx_wM<br>

That was so painful to listen to. <br><br>The music in MGR is great and it’s a shame they can’t get that kind of sound live. I hope this performance doesn’t give people a bad opinion about the music in this game…damn too late.<br><br><img src=“http://i351.photobucket.com/albums/q469/OAG3K/lulz_zps49f03884.jpg”><br><br>Just beat MGR and I will post my thoughts about it later.

character, but gradually as development proceeded he kind of grew closer
and closer to Cyborg Ninja,” said Kojima.</i></p><p><i>“Honestly I think that
personally if we are going to make a sequel to Rising it should feature
Frank Yaeger as a main character versus zombies… nano machine-powered
zombies. That’s what I’m proposing to Platinum and the producer of the
project, but they seem to be ignoring me.”</i></p><br>
