Nm, beat arcade mode on normal with Blaze. Wasn't too bad, only took about 90 mins.
2nd run was fun. Knowing how to deal with all the enemies & bosses definitely made it less intense since you could abuse tactics on all of them. With arcade mode since your lives carry over the worst is when you lose a life on a dumb set of mobs which happened to me at like 2 spots. Crowd control can be the hardest if you get out of hand even with specials, no matter the enemy, 1 on 1 or 2 or 3 enemies is way easier to deal with.
Unlocked all the SoR1 characters, eh, nostalgia's fun, but limited moveset is whatever.
So playing the whole game through as Blaze, she just seemed like a worse Axel. Less damage, shorter range, and her FF+P move doesn't combo continue as well as Axel's fire upper. Best damage combo I could do as Blaze was PP, PPP, FF+P, special, star and it definitely did less damage than Axel. Also her attack range seemed a little shorter and her throw range maybe too idk. Basically didn't see any advantages to using her over Axel.
For next run, will try hard on story mode with Cherry and the other guy and Adam.
On Mr. Y, how do you dodge his tracking gun shot? One of the only moves I couldn't figure out how to ever dodge. I tried jumping up to invincible frames but still seemed to get hit.
