Need Help Leveling Rudy

[Maljey]

Hi all!

Newbie here! Had the game for about a week and loving it. I have chosen Rudy as my main since I love grappling characters. I'm around lvl 12 with him so far and on the milk run mission.

It's been a HUGE struggle leveling him though because he seems so slow at everything...attack speed, run speed, movement speed, grappling, etc.

It's very frustrating, especially when I can switch to other characters and easily kill enemies while mashing out combos. With Rudy it takes me forever to kill a group of enemies and I always take a ton of damage. It's got to the point that I'm constantly using his income to buy food items just to stay alive. I can barely save money to buy new attacks at the dojo.

So I need help! I have looked at a few Rudy guides/tips and they all deal with him having full access to most of his move list. I need help actually leveling him. What attacks of his are essential at my level, and how do I deal with groups of enemies? He is so slow that I find myself constantly getting surrounded, and the AI is getting better at spacing to make my attacks whiff. So I'm constantly chasing them down and getting surrounded in the process. It's so much easier to deal with them as another character who actually attacks quickly with more powerful combos.

Any tips are very much appreciated! Thank you!

Everyone says jump attacks to get in and grab afterwards. Have you gotten his secret book yet? You didn't mention it in your post so it's worth asking. It's defintely useful once you knock them down.

If you don't mind playing cheezy, here's what I did: Go to the arcade, and head down into the little alcove next to the arcade machines directly below the entrance. Stand against the wall and wait for the nerds to drop in next to you, then wail on them, as there's no room to avoid your strikes or surround you. Meanwhile you can whack the change machine for stupid easy cash farming.

Once you get spinning lariat, things get easier. Another cheezy strat at that point is to clear a street, then wait outside a shop where they respawn, and spinning lariat right when the crowd appears to kill them all at once.

I don't recommend doing this stuff after you have a decent move set, because it makes the game boring.

I might be in the minority here, but I actually recommend being primarily strike focused in Rudy's early game. Rudy is a monster striker if you can get a feel on to how to land his hits.

Jump openers are a must. I might try this.

Jump p or k > p (chop) if the chop hits continue with the combo, or a grab. If it doesn't hit, block immediately as the enemy usually counter attacks. If you block, either go for a grab (If you think you can counter grab) or retreat.

Some things to note, Rudy walks slow, but he runs just as fast as everyone else. If you more a fan of being agressive, you really always need to be running.

A lot of people complain that his chop doesn't connect most of the time. However, the chop is great for forcing an enemy away from you. So it's great for goading enemys into a position you'd like.

Sorry for bad english not my first language

ADD BC\add useful tip and delete useless thing and video example for K-Frog ;D
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Video for example -- what is BC is in below It help you dodge block and attack fast bring out the most of your favourite charactor today. if you can BC every charactor can solo fungundo!!!.

- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bw9W7xo0pg4 at 0:52 I use BC to close the range of me and enemy to increase damage output and ensure that enemy dont dodge after they stand up.

- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VKOZaRtr-M enemy are weaker when weapon involve

- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkjgvmQZ0bQ
0:58 and 1:00and 1:01 cap guy back off when I press block they are less aggressive when we block
BC can be use for escaping it's useful when you are surround

{{{{What Is BC}}}}
BC= "Block Cancel" Is tecnique that help you run fast in RCRU whick can be perform by 1.press block and 2. run then release block 3.repeat . I discover this by watching speedrun of this game[ http://www.speedrun.com/run/zn8w7d9z]


{{{{ EXAMPLE }}}}}
how to use BC in fight and how to avoid being surround and other tip that i want other detail to improve you RCRU skills
.
- use BC and you can grab enemy when they fall work on every charactor not only rudy (if you run normaly you cant reach in time) but it hard to do though. very very hard

- help you reposition quick so you can connect attack that normally hard to hit enemy easier (example in first video)

-Use BC to go get weapon before enemy.because weapon are cool :D

-Use BC to run and you will get hit less beacause you press block all the time.

- If you hold block enemy will atttack you less . you'll clear enemy faster if you dont hold block just press before they hit you.

- use jump high and attack to boost distance beetween you and enemy . enemy will follow you if you closer and prepare for attack faster if you dont press attack while jump high.

- running from enemy while surround is like asked for attack but useful in some situation should carefull and prepare for block after show your ass to them.

-BC fastest way to escape being surround but enemy will still follow you unlike jump high and attack that prevent enemy from follow. (except 4 soilder,black agent they alway follow player)

- If you face 4 soilder, black agent or fungundo mode you maybe need to use leap attack to avoid enemy reading your escape sequence.

- hold your block than run and release block than run is difference. enemy will react differently

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

++++++++_________Weapon for slow attack speed Charactor_________++++++++++

problem is their pity attack cannot reach enemy body before they block you can solve this problem by USE A WEAPON it's op op

- Enemy are AGGRESSIVE when you are near or holding a weapon . better way when you dont want to wait enemy

- Use attack that can hit both weapon on the ground and enemy for massive damage.(dont use same attack more than 2 time it wont hit they will dodge like ninja swap to another attack move instead )

- When enemy go pick weapon or when they have it they wont block.

- You can drop weapon to lure them to where you want .

- Throw weapon then grab or attack your grab or attack will hit them 100% of the time

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{{{{FOR one who want DETAIL}}}}}
Throw or drop weapon in middile of the crowd is best situation because 1.enemy in front will try to avoid getting hit by weapon on the ground if they get hit by weapon at least once 2. enemy in the back will try to pick a weapon they dont block or dodge when try to pick 3. enemy in the back will not cover enemy in the front (like superman white shirt guy that try to jam behind their front line)
^^^^^ don't work if weapon is in front of enemy crowd
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


P.S.1 For bruno player Don't buy bruno "throat cut" and "fog splalsh" his basic punch is good for spamming / running spamming .
P.S.2 I really like this game


i will be back after i use 5 $ on steam or when i get a friend account.so that i can pose :()

Could have picked some better sessions, but hopefully this might help. Early Rudy can still be a power house.

Edit: I just realized I was on Story Difficulty. But still, good for early game Rudy considering it's pre tower act 3.

Also, super interested in BCs. Thanks for pointing that out, PinisbigDoor.
