VIEWTIFUL JOE
The Toughest Five Bosses
====================
--------------------
1. Fire Leo
--------------------
WHERE- The Magnificent Five
ITS KILLER ATTACKS- Multiple flaming fireballs that fizz every which way and a thump-and-stomp move that’ll take half of your life force.
DON’T- Don’t immediately Fast Punch the molten rocks that lie on the walkway. They provide immunity to the fireballs, but only for a short time. Also, don’t bother trying to take out the fireballs or jumping down the gap in the walkway.
DO- Get protection from the fireballs and get right next to him. Now Slow and Zoom, and hit him with a Red Hot One Hundred (RHOH) punch. This’ll cause him to spin really fast. Use Slow again to catch a sight of him and deliver the same attack as before. Now he’ll dive into the lava below and return with a ferocious salvo of fireballs. Fast Punch for protection and counter his charging move by double-jumping over him as he gets near. Then set about him with a RHOH. Repeat as necessary.
--------------------
2. King Blue
--------------------
WHERE- After beating Fire Leo
ITS KILLER ATTACKS- Heat-seeking missiles, and vertical bolts of lightning.
DON’T- Don’t try moving when he attacks with lightning. To survive, keep a cool head and don’t move. If you don’t take out the missile command tower, you’ll suffer.
DO- Jump towards him, slowing as you draw alongside and use the RHOH attack. When the Die Fighters appear, double-jump and slow. Hang in the air as they fly by.
--------------------
3. Alestor
--------------------
WHERE- The Midnight Thunderboy
ITS KILLER ATTACKS- Air-raid, swarms of look-a-likes and lightning speed.
DON’T- Don’t spend your time chasing his dopplegangers. It’s better to pick a spot and wait for them. Take care to shelter from the falling bombs during his air-raid attack.
DO- Wait by the small platforms – use these to avoid the bombs. Don’t attack his clones straight away – wait until they come towards you and jump, Slow, Zoom and batter the kick button. You’ll spin like a human saw and cut through all of them. Now drop to a platform and wait for Alestor. Turn towards him and Slow, Zoom and punch. Repeat the stategy until he’s toast.
--------------------
4. Gran Blue
--------------------
WHERE- A Viewtiful Escape / The Magnificent Five
ITS KILLER ATTACKS- Spitting deadly mines and snapping piranha fish right into your face. He’ll also relentlessly chase you around.
DON’T- Don’t ignore the piranha, the sound of his gnashing teeth is your cue to get the hell out of the way.
DO- Get in close, Slow and Zoom, and then either use punch or kick. In this case you need to finish him off as quickly as possible. To do this you’ll need to hold down punch and get stuck in. When he raises his head into the air, he’s either going to puke up mines or piranha, or start chasing after you. One routine follows the other, so you should be able to quickly get an idea of what he’s about to do next. When he looks like he’s about to chase you, use Fast to escape. Keep an eye on his position though, because when he finishes he’s vulnerable to a Slow, RHOH.
--------------------
5. Hulk Davidson
--------------------
WHERE- Some Like it Red Hot / The Magnificent Five
ITS KILLER ATTACKS- Throwing a huge axe, heat-seeking missiles and a stomp move.
DON’T- You’ll get hurt if you don’t dodge when he comes crashing towards you, or keep an eye out for his close attack.
DO- Notice his strict pattern. When he jumps towards you, dash towards him, so you swap places. Keep doing this until he throws his axe, at which point dash towards him and deliver a fast Hot One Hundred punch. Keep an eye on the axe and stop your attack when it’s on the way back. If he sets off a cluster of missiles, move to the corner of the room and when they’re near, use Slow. Now punch them away at your leisure, hopefully towards Hulk. He’ll now revert to his first attack, so follow the same counter-attack, and keep an eye out for his lunge attacks.
