I hate the second v2 fight

[cubelord187]

So I know I'm not good at this game. I play on standard because I don't like the difficulty of violent, but the second v2 fight just feels unfail and not fun. With the first v2 fight it was a fun fight. With Gabriel it was a challenge that made me learn dash sliding. With the second v2 fight it made me learn that you can stand still and he'll circle you with out doing any advanced movement. The fight is demoralizing. I spent an hour dying over and over again makes me feel like smashing my head against a wall would be a more preferable experience. The only way I beat it was by turning on major assists and turning the damage he dealt down to zero. This one fight has made me hate the game, which is a shame because I really liked this game.
I know ranting won't change anything, and I know I should just "git gud" but I just needed a place to rant about how I think the second v2 fight is just unfair.

Open the fight with charged alt revolver and shoot as soon as he stands, then throw a coin in the air and wait for V2 to shoot said coin. Hit the coin with a blue railcannon shot and you'll take out a good chunk of his hp without taking any damage. You should note that V2 will try to reflect your coins which will immediately stop him from doing certain attacks to shoot it, but you'll always be able to counter this by shooting the coin after he does.

Try and be patient with your dodges and don't try to chase after him.

dont wanna be that guy but git gud (heck i shouldnt be really saying this cuz im not good at the game either but i beat v2 at my 4th/5th attempt) heck i still havent unlocked p-1

What helped me is to always keep moving, and use a ton of projectile boosts + coin shots. Also always keep 1 or 2 coins ready to counter V2`s coins.

the second V2 fight isnt hard. I beat it first try on standart and am barely below average (my record cybergrind run is around wave 30)

- Shoot his coins whenever possible. I-framing them is next to impossible, at least consistently. In a similar vein, shoot your coins soon after you launch them. He'll use them if you don't, unless he's angry (I think).
- He *clinks* with his yellow flash a lot. Use that as a warning to move or to counter.
- Pay attention to his wings (i.e. his weapon choice) and the distance he keeps from you. You can manipulate both via your own distance from him.
- Screwdriver makes healing easier and slows him way down. Use it right as the fight starts, where he always breaks left, to consistently hit him.
- Try to get a nail magnet on him, then spray for all you're worth.
- Projectile-boosting shotgun pellets, I found, is a consistent source of damage with little risk, and additionally seems to nullify most, if not all, of his momentum if you airshot him with it.
- Do not enrage him. It's fun for the meme value, but he becomes insanely hard. Point bonus isn't worth it, either.
- Sliding, similar to his first encounter, is your greatest friend, even more so with the slight strafing Hakita added.
Best of luck; I know you can do it.

The second encounter with V2 is probably my favorite encounter in the whole game, from the insane finale to the fight to the new tricks V2 uses (especially the countering of your own coins and V2's new tendency to use the tried and true ricoshot.) Hakita hit it out of the park with this one. Also the scewdriver practically turns V2 into a joke.

I don't get the mindset of "it's too hard but I'm not willing to turn down the difficulty."
Playing on easier difficulties is fine, because Lenient and Harmless essentially just slow down enemies and give you more health it makes it easier to learn what what the boss is doing. Most if not all of the boss attacks in this game have tells before they attack so you know what it is before it happens. Once you've learned and can stomp him on Lenient it'll make fighting on Standard easier.

I had a similar experience to the OP. I loved the first V2 fight, be the rematch was just frustrating. I think the combination of tons of HP and hyperactive movement just make it draw on too long.

edit: Deep thought. Not the number of HP but the perception of HP. Because he runs off at half health but there's no way to know in advance, so I spent each attempt feeling like I was making no progress and then suddenly he took pity on me.

But maybe the oppressive feeling is what we want. I don't even know.

I felt like (on standard) the fight was far easier than the first. Maybe I just got a lot better at the movement, but I didn't reset once on her or the second phase. It's just side dodging+close range after the attacks reset for health back, same as the first fight. I also highly recommend using the pistol with the charged laser attack, it's extremely good for damaging while dodging due to only needing to hit one headshot.
Also I'm bummed out because I beat this whole game in 3 hours and it was really good but now I want more.
