Switch and Steam ports only require you to hold NGPC's B button to select the Emperor of Destruction. No directional spinning required! Cards equally painful to unlock though.

First Hard run and my best of three attempts. I only attach the Power Up card despite Defence Up being extremely desirable in the Yuga mirrors. They can counter everything but Forward + Tap A, read my inputs and instantly execute moves. Real risk of losing.

Thankfully the Ukyo, Galford and Charlotte AIs play right into Yuga's hands. Asra/Shiki and Haohmaru can snowball if given the chance. I don't know how I dodge the damage at 7:01 without jumping but I've seen it happen before.
