Were the lead in attacks something like the old Dragon Tear?
If so, it might lead in with the Rising Tiger Lunge (X,X->X,Y[Hold] or running X,Y[Hold]). That attack can only be done if the preceding strike makes contact with an enemy (hate those types of moves), so it's difficult to see what chains build off from it. Seems to be standard aerial after the Rising Tiger Lunge, though (XXXY Izuna-type stuff). Note that because it's a charge, it's also prone to being cut-off by SoB or UTs if you have a Bloody Rage multiplier-glow ready.

Now that I think about it, I might be messing up the names (Dragon's Tear might have been XXXY). I meant the one that was XXXYY with the TDS in NG2.

edit: Does anyone know if the Underworld Drop actually does more damage than the Izuna? I hope not, because I prefer using the Izuna for purely cosmetic reasons.

So I finally got around to downloading the demo yesterday. Much much better than the little I played of 3.

I felt like the enemies were all fair, aside from the alchemists and Duelists(alchemists with rapier), they dodge your attacks and block at random, they don't seem to have any specific vulnerabilities aside from UT's, once you get used to them they are easier to deal with, wind path still works on em, but they seem poorly designed to me.

Ryu seems pretty sluggish in comparison to last games, I noticed he is left more vulnerable after his dodge, and some of his moves have recovery frames now where you can't do anything, but I figured out ways around it, just takes practice. Wind path is as good as ever, but I noticed you have to recover from throwing aerial shuriken and you can only do an OL charge after em now, so I mostly just use them to cancel recovery frames. The Katana moveset is alright, but I gotta say I love the dual blades and claws, gonna stick with them for sure.


Ayane is great, she feels more like the older games in terms of movement, she doesn't have the recovery problems ryu has, she also has more range than ryu when it comes to SOB chaining, her XXYY is great for delimbing and it helps against the duelists as it locks them in place.

Kasumi felt really good as well,I love her windmill shuriken, she also has an amazing grab move that you can use to get through enemies guards and get a free aerial combo afterwards, it's probably the only consistent way I've found to deal with the alchemists aside from UT spam.

Anyway it was a blast, and I wish my stinking xbox disk drive wasn't broken, hopefully I can get another one soon.

Yesterday I unlocked Master Ninja completing both the levels on Hard. But anyway, also if I played again the 2 levels in easy mode, with the game saying me that I completed both the mission on that difficulty, I haven't unlocked the chapter challenge at hero difficulty...

I'm starting to think that I will have to delete my save and restart everything from the beginning because of a bug of the game... :(

I'm pretty sure chapter challenge doesn't have a "hero" mode.why would it hero mode was put in so people could get through the story despite it being a NG game it's no longer needed once you get past the story.keep in mind Kasumi was put in for people they knew wouldn't even touch the hero mode.

Hero is just Normal with auto dodging when your health is low. If you can beat Hero you can beat Normal.

So you are saying me that chapter challeng have just Normal, Hard and Master mode (in the demo version off course)? I was sure to have read that for unlocking Kasumi was necessary to beat the chapter challenge to all the 4 kind of difficulties, but could be that I was wrong.

EDIT:
Hero is just Normal with auto dodging when your health is low. If you can beat Hero you can beat Normal.

I know, indeed I'm not interested to play Razor's Edge with that difficulty. I wanted just try to unlock Kasumi, and I was asking to myself if it's needed for it to beat Chapter challenge also in Hero mode (always if this difficulty exist for the chapter challenge included in the demo).

Yeah no Hero required. It's not in CC.

Fun glitch I ran into that requires a restart. If you slide at JUST the right angle when you're supposed to go under the door in Ayane's level you can get the door to come down while you're on the wrong side of it. If this happens you have to restart the level as there is no way to kill yourself. Teleport dodge moves do not work, nor do UTs, more slides, or anything else I could find. Running back to try to de-spawn the enemies or glitch them through the door also won't work. Annoying little bug since I wasn't trying to do it. When you slide, you can come through at a perfect angle to target the rocket guy on the balcony before the enemies attack you. That's what I wanted, not for the level to glitch out haha. Because of the nature of the glitch it will very likely still be in the final release, so be careful.

Yeah, I actually retract my previous statement. I've got "S" on MN a few times now in Ryu's level just playing normally since I found out about the secret Wolverine fight. The karma from those guys seemed to be my biggest handicap.
Of course, I do pretty much always wipe those guys out with SoB because it's very hard not to when they spam those lulzy grabs so frequently.
