Not having trouble with Ayane's but I'm currently paused at the Alchemist fight because I had to go back to work.

@Russian: There really isn't rocket spam, or at least nothing compared to the projectile hell that was NG2. Dodge and ground target with the bow/Ayane's shuriken and toss. It always prioritizes the projectile users as long as you can actually hit them from where you are. If you jump you won't be able to target them for some reason and if you don't do a quick dodge you'll eat a rocket to the face.

No it doesn't. It prioritizes all manner of stupid things first, including any nearby attacking enemy, shielded enemy or cloaked enemy. If it's meant to, it's glitching out 70% of the time for me.

I'm honestly not having any trouble with doing it that way. Didn't on the PS3 version either. Not sure what's up with it for you then.

The Van Gelfs get de-limbed quickly so I just rush them down. They don't seem to try attacking through your attacks as much as they used to.

The only problem with the Van Gelfs is, again, the auto-targeting will refuse to attack them until literally all other foes are wiped out. The best I could manage was to hit them with side damage from UT charges (though the main target always focused on the useless soldiers, again).

Maybe I'm just unlucky, but I swear I'm not making this stuff up. It literally becomes next-to unplayable on MN with this issue. Not looking forward to "S" rank grinding if that is how you get Kasumi.

I sorta hit-confirm my attacks on enemies by sliding into them first and I never touch the right analog stick. Seems to work for me but your mileage may vary I suppose. I've taken to only short 2-3 hit strings, dodging into or away from enemies as appropriate, and repeating until I can OT. Very few times that Ryu sees something shiny in the wrong direction that way.

just finished unlocking all the skills and costumes.I cant complete ayane level on hard shame on me xD its very unbalaced,I mean Ruy chapter its not that hard.what do I get after hard?master ninja?I think kasumi is a lie...is till dont have her after all this ='P

We have video proof she's unlockable. It's either beat CC on both stages on all difficulties or get S rank on all levels in all difficulties in CC.
And that's interesting. I don't find Ayane's chapter harder than Ryu's.

u mean this?! this is so impossible for me=´P .I mean completing ryu chapter on master ninja I think I can do it, but not ayane, and even less S rank. by the way if anyone can tell me a "easy" way to get S ranks plz do

Just completed all chapter challenges but with various ranks. Appears you need all S ranks.
Time to grind...

Seriously though, any help on those sand-mobiles would be awesome.
watch the video.its seems u need to do this new ng3 move, the bloody move to get S rank.I think u need to press attack right before the enemy attacks

@Cyber: I guess I should try and shuriken cancel more. It's just a stupid mechanic, imo. I liked the old dodge system better.

Also, this "not totally invincible during OTs" thing is driving me nuts.

no not rocket spam off screen rocket to the face thats soooo much better right?
I'm saying you're doing it wrong. This thread isn't light on complaints and yet you're the only one complaining about rocket spam. I think you should reconsider your approach honestly because I seriously have no idea how you can see it that way.

I also think there's a lot of rocket spam, actually. It's just that it's easier to get around than, say, being vincible during the ending frames of a UT.
I think it would be more fun without the stupidly high amount of explosions, but I thought the same in NG2. I've just learned to get around it and enjoy the rest.

With Ryu save an Inferno and if you're quick you can destroy them all in one shot if it's level two. Otherwise it's dodge shoot over and over and pray you don't miss an input.

CyberEvil, the answer to your question to unlocking kasumi. You need to get an S rank for both days in chapter challenge on all difficulties to unlock her.

Yeah we're well aware. Found the answer late last night/early this morning. Should be pretty simple but I've been at work all day.

I'm not exactly that interested in unlocking Kasumi other than for the hell of it but I do want to improve so I'm going to be doing that for now.

Just a random side question that maybe you guys have talked about in the past 49 pages: What do you guys think about the dual katanas style? Do you them to be effective, maybe more effective than the other weapons offered? And would they be sufficient for S-Rank playthroughs?
