Bayonetta 2

No, but there's a Youtube video that makes the attack look hilarious instead of deadly.

Isn't that actually in the game? He pretty much rapes her :/

Not cool Kamiya, although there's Fridge Brilliance since Rodin's namesake had a similarly posed work of art.

Still it really comes off as eye rolling and offputting.

In her default outfit (in both games; Father Rodin had the move too), she's nude after the Shun Goku Satsu hits, but I think the people who claim it's rape are grasping at straws.

@ Shirouw shirow: Asura actually does have finesse during the chakravartin battle.

Just not as much as Yasha, who Asura defeats by the end anyhow.

Plus, his eight limbs broke off from forces far greater then what Bayonetta dishes out. So no, Bayonetta wouldn't win, even if she has more finesse, because Asura is so powerful having more finesse then him doesn't matter.

One problem with your logic, there. Sure, Asura could probably kill Bayo in one punch, but he has to be able to land that hit first. And Bayo is a lot better than Asura in the movement and evasion side of the equation. Also, Asura literally died several times over the course of his game, and just one will make him lose a DB fight. I see Asura going down by Death of a Thousand Cuts before he can land a One-Hit Kill.

I dunno. Death Battle rules that "immortal" characters lose if they're rendered unable to continue the battle. So I think a character could win despite dying if they resurrected quick enough to continue the fight.

I think Asura took several thousand years to revive the first time around. The second time around was a 500-year time skip.

So he's getting faster.

Took a look at the Asura's Wrath character page. Turns out he dies and comes back two more times. The third death took a few days to recover from. The fourth took a few hours. Of course, he dies for real the fifth time around, but that's explained in-story.

Just finished Bayonetta 1 today.

Long story short: Awesome game. Hard as balls. Kick-ass final boss. Dat catchy dance number. How the hell did this game go under my radar for so long!?

Not touching hard mode with a 10 meter pole; dance kind or otherwise. Gonna play Bayo 2 soon.

Hard mode in Bayonetta is great because it averts Numerical Hard and goes back to the classic Doom strategy of just remixing the levels with more vicious monsters.

It's still soul crushing though of course.

The moment I saw Grace and Glory in the Torture Attack tutorial was when I went "nope".

Ironically the hardest level in hard mode is the very first one because you have to build up a bunch of magic power with a bunch of Glorys coming at you and no witch time and a time limit.

Pretty much that. I already Stone Trophied my way through most of the chapters on Normal, so thank you very much lady, but you can keep your hard mode to yourself!

The thing about the trophies in Bayonetta 1 is that they're assuming you actually find and complete every verse, even if you fight very very well throughout the level you can still get slapped with a stone anyway because you missed a few hidden scraps and an Alfheim and therefore got no points from them.

Bayonetta 2 fixes this. People that are searching for high scores only care about platinum or bust anyway.

In Bayonetta 2 I usually got all silvers with the occasional gold and a bronze when I was very unlucky. In the first game I got two stones, both in Paradiso.

Dragon she's covering her asshole with her hand naked while Rodin is laying down puffing a smoke. It's not exactly subtle. It's supposed to be for laughs but YMMV on whether it's worth it.

I got mostly Platinum and Gold in Bayonetta 2. My trophies were all over the place in the first one, but I skipped a lot of fights and I still managed to get some Golds so...

I got a few stones. Oddly, Fortitudo in B2 kicked my ass hard the first time i ran into him, worse than any boss other than Aesir.

The Cherbog/Salamandra combo is almost broken. about as fast and powerful as sword-and-undine, but racks up magic points like nobody's business.

I used sword-undine pretty much the entire game, it's probably my favorite combo because I'm the kind of guy who needs fast attack speed

But you get to skate around on chainsaws with Salamandra as the leg weapon.

I don't think I found the Salamandra, I missed the L Ps for the two last weapons.

The hammer and the chainsaws? Or do you include the Chain Chomp that you get for 3rd Climax?

I haven't played 3rd Climax yet so yeah, the hammer and chainsaw.

My retries on the final boss led to an insanely high combo score. My no-kill run (which did involve a few herbs, unfortunately, but thank Jubileus they don't penalize you for them this time around) dropped my combo score for the chapter to 27000 something, from 904000 (!)
