I bought this game from Yahtzee's, /v/'s and a friend's recommendation, and I've so far loved every bit of it...
Every bit except for the fucking bosses.
Nothing about fighting them seems obvious. They constantly block both high and low, they are rarely stunned or even affected at all by the block breaking move, and they take as much as twenty minutes to kill.
Why should bosses take so damn long? I can't believe I'm stuck on the rank 8 boss, that stupid weeaboo school girl that constantly kills me with that sonic blast thing when she does it nine times in a row. Also, unlike any other game, the times when you CAN attack the enemy seem random, and the bosses normally only attack whenever I attack them, meaning they get a good hit or two in before I can block the last part of their combos. I've wasted a good hour on this boss just to be killed while she's on the last tenth of life or so.
What I'm really asking is does anyone have ANY tips on how to figure out when you can attack the bosses and when you can't? The only times I've managed to hit her is when she's done a charged attack, but even then sometimes she does all sorts of stupid flips, dodging EVERY attack I do. Even when I do the dark step thing I learnt from some FAQ, she's capable of dodging most, if not all, of my attacks.
