I learned a neato trick from some Japanese player!

When fighting Blitzes with Dante, you can Royal Block the retaliative lightning strikes when you use melee attacks. Works best with Gilgamesh -- get in close, hit the attack button, and then immediately hit the Style button.

Royal Block!

Hit the attack button again. Now hit the Style button again.

Royal Block!

Keep doing this. If you're quick, you can even knock them out of the lightning phase before they start teleporting!

Pretty nifty trick! I'm going through Son of Sparda mode right now, managed to get an S rank on Missions 9 and 12. I think the rest of the grades I got were A except for Mission 4 (Bael beat me bad and resulted in a B). I finished up all the secret missions and now I'm only missing one single blue orb fragment in the entire game. I hate it when that happens...

MAKE NOO THREDD NOW
