Thanks for the tips guys!
@CyberEvil - I've only been using the scythe on imps really, or for the Marbus TOV, but tbh, it didn't really work for me anyways- the Van Gelfs knock me out of the air when I go up from the 360y, or they ground pound me out of the OL, for the Marbus fight it works only kind of, for the spinning homing attack he has mainly.
Sooo, I don't use it much. Actually, the kusari gamma I've been using more, the YYYYY attack pretty much keeps you safe in crowds, and de-limbs. And the lv.3 UT destroys most things I've found. The karma glitch I know about but haven't used, and don't plan to. That feels like cheating, like the invincibility glitch in NG2- what's the point? I like NG for the challenge haha.
@Fiend Busa- thanks for the help bro, I haven't tried cicada surge yet, but I def. will. Seems like a cool new move. I heard a few people at the archives say UN felt the same as MN (story mode anyways)- is that true? What are your guys' thoughts?
