A very useful tip for Coliseum 1v100 Deathmatch

Putting this here for anyone who goes searching for this like I did. Akiyama and Shinada have an incredibly hard time in this tournament but there's a very useful trick I found out that helped me get through it.

Whenever you do a Climax Heat Action, as you've likely noticed, other enemies enter a state of fear, some of which fall over. When you strike those fallen enemies, it defeats them instantly.

Very importantly, there is a bit of a delay between performing the Climax Heat Action and the enemies becoming afraid, meaning that if you perform a Climax Heat Action to defeat the final enemy of a wave, as soon as the next wave drops in they will all become afraid. This allows you to very easily clear half, or more, of a wave immediately, depending on how many fall over. Then you can use the remaining enemies to recharge your Climax Heat.

As Akiyama particularly, he can very easily gain heat by taunting. Grab+Taunt fills his heat a lot, and taunting while knocked down also fills your heat dramatically. Using Grab+Taunt and then performing the Alpha/Beta/Gamma Drive Heat Action from a Launch Strike fills your Climax Heat bar by 3 points. With this strategy you can very reliably use a Climax Heat Action at the end of the last few rounds, making the final stretch a lot more approachable.

The final wave is still very difficult, so good luck!
