momoji and ayane SUUUUUCK help me

[PK²]

momiji had me crash out earlier because her moves are just so bad. rachel was fine but ayane just sucks. i couldn't even get to the checkpoint and had to start over twice. it doesn't help there's barely any guides on them either. i want to play this game on master ninja but i NEED TIPS to play them to at least make it bearable. anything you guys can tell me would be a big help.

give me strings that're good.
any cheese strats.
literally anything would help me.

You can kill red sword ninjas with Dark Raven (a+x), xxx (continue xx until de-limb), then OT. Once you clear out all the red sword ninjas, DR the claw ninja then use Lightning Izuna (xyxxxxxy). DR to xxx will de-limb legs, so if you're getting swarmed, you can DR, de-limb a few red sword ninjas, do not OT them, then take the fight somewhere else. Her x parry will also de-limb legs.

Against multiple fiends, God's Crushing Fury (forward y while jumping toward enemy) may behead. Once you have some essences, UT. If it's 1v1, dodge then xxxxx, OT is more consistent.

When mages come into play, killing them as soon as you get the chance is priority. Unfortunately, they're immune to leg de-limbs so you can't kill them as easily as red sword ninjas. The easiest method is to leg de-limb a few red sword ninjas and take the fight somewhere else. Mages teleport so they're usually the first to reach you. Dash toward them and use the x chain to de-limb then OT them. You can also try to behead them with GCF. Don't forget to also use UT and ninpo against the mages when in a tight situation.

The first time you encounter mages, don't fight at the narrow waterway. Run back to at least where the werewolves spawned. A mage will teleport to you and you can quickly xxx to de-limb to OT before the others get close. Leg de-limb a few red sword ninjas and move to another area to fight. The marketplace and the square are big enough that you can leg de-limb a couple of red sword ninjas and fight mages on the other side.

Against the boss, get in close and do a few xxx slashes to whittle her down. Her throw comes out extremely fast so long attack chains isn't a good idea.

They dont suck at all. You need to learn how to play them.
Check this guy out for good guides and walkthroughs.

Yes they do, they are also under powered in higher difficulties. People that are actually good at the game and play master ninja have all said this. The only people that defend these terrible female chapters play on normal

[Deadman'shand]

Easy. Go download cheat engine, find a table, turn on instant kill so you can finish their garbage levels quick and get back to playing the actual good character.

Pretty much, beating their higher difficulties basically comes down to spamming a few moves. No one who's actually good at the game thinks they're good. Ryu with any of his 9 weapons is far better than any of these extra characters. Heck you'd probably have an easier team with bow only than with Momiji and Ayane (Rachel has the minigun which is sorta okay, but also her only good move).

Their levels are rough, but alot easier in black than on sigma - atleat I found them to be - because of boss checkpoints - so have hope there.

Momiji has about 2 really hard spots - abuse terrain and UT's and you'll get through eventually. You cant face things head on. You also need to abuse her air UT.

For Ayane, you need to create safe distance enough to charge UT's, or izuna drops with xxxxxy.
Her explosive shurikens are great for that.

Additionally, if there are no casters grabbing you, you can dodge/kite and spam shurikens for as long as you need - except for the room with the muramasa statue. That room is truly hellish. Its not fun!

Good luck

its not even worth the effort. Its just kills the momentum of the run. I seriously hate everything about sigma. The red and blue brothers are also aids, they added nothing to make the game better other them removing the rocket launcher spam at higher difficulties. There is actually a small ng2 community that is actually good at the game and its not even debatable. Sigma is trash

i never played 2 vanilla but i really wish they didn't have so much rocket spam on higher difficulties man. it's so dumb.

In case you still need help, I made this video to show how I make some of the tougher fights more manageable.

Good news, they just got buffed and enemies on those levels got nerfed!

[Sports]

Momiji's Forward Y dismembers alot. Her air UT is also abuseable.

[Ibn Dragon]

Rachel boss fight is infuriating. I hate the female chapters. They suck.

[Starkiller]

I think Momiji and Rachel are still going, but Ayane is killing you. Ayane is a bit too sedate for me.

[thorin.hannahs]

Being forced to play as these alternate characters makes this version inferior to the NG2 on the 360. I just finished the Rachel mission and I just wanted it to be over with.
