noob vs slayer story mode

[gia]

erm, im no fighter expert, but, this guy is wrecking me and at full health, how do you beat him if keeps regenerating everything? do i really need to learn some 0 to 100 combo to get past the 3rd fight on normal? or is my game bugged? google tells me his grab shoul steal hp, but hes not grabbing me also he keep spamming supers (some moves that do 50% hp if i dont block and changes the background color)

it really feels as if i had ran into some funny anti piracy mode where everything goes to hell fast, but i own the game lol

I'm afraid the solution is just gitting gud; learn his moves so you can dodge/block them reliably and counter them, learn your character's moves and combos well enough that you can build tension quickly and then wreck him with overdrives. What character are you playing with by the way?

sol, first time playing, i just tried every move and the ultra killed him in one go (thank god), and then the difficulty returned to normal lol, the devs are a bit silly, but i love how i can do a lot of crazy moves, just need to learn to combo them

however, it doesnt seem like defensive play will beat him, he recovers every tick, thats again, silly, would have been as unfair as ever yet more fair to recover on hit, as-is, you either use the ultra or learn the best combos to outdps his regen

If you're in Sol's Story Mode, there are two options before fighting Slayer. Picking "Show me what you've got!" (or whatever it was called) will put Slayer in his Gold Mode, so you should probably avoid it.

Slayer was extremely strong all throughout the GGXX series and +R was no exception. However, he is not unbeatable, so here are some tips to beat him.

1. The AI will occassionally end its blockstrings with 2D. Slayer's 2D is not cancelable in any way other than RC (which the AI rarely uses for anything useful), so when you block that you can easily go for a free punish.

2. All of his Overdrives, when blocked leave him vulnerable for a long ammount of time. He may do Dead on Time and Eternal Wings on wakeup, sometimes.

3. Do not challenge his Dandy Step yet. The AI will bait your attacks, make them wiff and heavily punish you. When he uses Dandy Step, block high (I doubt the AI will go for a low mixup after Under Pressure) and punish accordingly. Pilebunker (P followup) and Crosswise Heel (K) can be easily punished, but his S and HS followups are harder to do so.

4. Slayer has a taller than average hitbox, so you may be able to find combos that work only on him and deal extra damage.

That's all I can think of. Good luck!
