Basics

Hey runners, let's teach you the basics of this little game. (some things can change when i'll discover more strats or how some patterns work)

First the Basic movements that you can perform in the game.
I configure my buttons in option menu to be the same as the other games i play, so it goes this way :

A => Special
B => Punch
C => Jump

By picking up Scrolls in the game you'll be able to use a special move (Like in Golden Axe games)
The more you keep, the strongest your special will be ( MAX 5 )
Using your special move will automatically consume all your scrolls

Punches does a combo string like in most games, you can slow your inputs in order to infinite the enemies but the punches does a ridiculously low amount of damages.

You can Roll by double tapping quickly Forward, while you're rolling you can either jump for longer distance or press B to Tackle enemies.

You can grab enemies by walking on them, while holding the target your character will lift him, the you can throw them by pressing B on the direction you're facing.
You can also press forward + B quickly when you grab them, your character will spin the target, press B to release them. 
While grabbing someone you can also jump and press B for a special move.

You can also Jump Attack.

Enemies AI and Boss strats
_________________________________

Fat dudes : 
- First enemy introduced in the game they're very easy to deal with.
- They have a punch attack that can break your combos if you're too slowor try to force your luck on their wake up.
- They charge at you.

Weapon dudes
- They do a short dash and then use their weapon

Sumo
- Very scary enemy because they can Grab you if you attempt to grab them from front or on their path (deal a lot of damages) They also do that if you try to make long combos (Avoid punches)
- I assume they can punch you but you don't see that often i guess
- They have a jump attack, crushing the floor, it's easy to step back and avoid it.

Ninjas (easy enemy)
- They have a jump kick, they often loop it if you keep staying close to them while dodging it.
- They can throw from distance shurikens, you can counter them with slides or jump kicks (dunno if punch does that too) (Don't let them abuse the throws while you're close to a hole, it's dangerous)

Samurai in armor
- This enemy tend to move very slowly and immediately sword slash you if you approach them, the best way to get them is either a back grab (front grab work if they change their stand up animation instead of having stand attack pose) Or you can just jump behind them triggering the slash then you can attack them from behind 

Ronin
- these are the upgraded samurai armor dudes, they can move faster, run attack you, also stab when you approach them. (Always stay close to them, avoid the stab and then proceed to attack)

Pigeons
- The birds are very easy to kill, the Neutral Jump kick spam always hit them they never hit you, spam it.

Jumping Monsters
- Same strategy than the birds, it always work just make sure they're all facing you, they can still hit you from behind.

Boss Lion
- This Boss can quick claw you
- He can spit fire balls
- He can jump on you or back jump

Usually i go for the aggressive strat, stand at his head, punch him repetitively until you have the feeling he's gonna jump or attack back (i count around 5-7 hits) then planeshift, moving up or down, if he do nothing i add extra hits then return down or up. You can also try to slide in order to make a lot of damages to him if it connect perfectly but he'll counter attack and you can't avoid this.

Boss Giant shit
- Wave his arm and hit you
- Can charge you on wake up (when he is changing color)

Very easy Boss, you can tackle him every time he is up or move a little bit down his sprite and hit his ass, waving his arm will not touch you from there if you're perfectly positioned. Be careful of his rage charge, you have to avoid this it's invincible.

Boss Fire ball
- Fire ball when he see you
- Follow you on first sight then keep moving till he reach the wall

Hard Boss to get, i hate the hitbox there, in order to damage him normally you have to exhaust his fire ball attack and his follow pattern to get (up or down, behind him) you must be some pixel down from his sprite so you don't get hit and punch him. The strat i usually try to pull off is a tackle attack that deal HUGE damages no multi hit but if you're not well positioned the Boss will hit you and even worse in some case he can chain you with a fire ball + contact damage.

Boss Tengu
- Just grab you on his way to the other corner of the screen when he is invincible.
- Spawn lots of pigeons on screen (Kappa)

The longest Boss to kill but the easiest u_ U
Just jump kick him, be sure to be either on jump animation or Roll when he pass you while he's invincible so he can't grab you then repeat..... The bird does nothing cause you kick is godlike. Due to a LOT OF HP, this boss is the longest to kill i usually use the 5 scroll special here.

Final Boss
- He just Punch you, HARD, and knock you down.
- Can do a special attack looking like an earthquake or psychic thingy xD I don't really know how it work apparently i guess you have to be in air or up/down from his line to not get hit.

Very annoying Boss if not on Normal, On Normal the game is kind enough to give you a weapon, so you just avoid his attack go behind and slash him.
The other modes doesn't give you scrolls after the one you use and no weapons so you have to fight him legit but it's fine, you can still avoid him and tackle/jump kick it's just longer, you can go for a face tank but i recommend you to save your lifes if you're on Expert or Hard mode.

( For Hard / Expert )

Boss rush differences

In the last stage you'll be on a platform were you can't throw enemies, can't get secret items or weapons, the wave of enemies + Boss in this will give you exactly 5 scrolls that i spend on the final Boss.

The Giant shit come back and now hiw waving weird punch become a powerful INSTANT GRAB and does a shit ton of damage, this Boss is scary ! Stay away from him and PERFECTLY time your attacks even the dash tackle can be canceled and you can get grab !

The Fire ball is now blue and this is all about it xD he's the same thank god.

The tengu and his pigeons are also back too nothing special with him he's just long to kill and make sure to get down the platform so the back and forth are shorter. 

Then you get the Final Boss cheating madness, This motherfucker is basically the same in his moves, the only difference is ? He spam them faster than anything in the game like a TAS xD

The only strat i came out with is to make him come down the screen and tackle him as soon as he's lined up with you, back jump in position and go up quickly, he wake up try to follow, tackle again and repeat this loop until he's mad and use his special attack. you can try to brute force him but his punches are so fast you'll only get a full combo if he's completely against you while you're against a wall.

Ill try to mess around in order to find more strategies, this way i'll be able to do Expert mode.
