Coliseum Difficulty

[Johnnius]

Is it just me or is the coliseum much easier than the previous two games?

I've just blasted through 10 of 12 events with almost full health with the exception of one free for all including a tiger.

Maybe the last two are difficult, I've got some grinding to do.

i've got an s rank and beat all the tourneys undefeated except for two that refuse to unlock. it's bizarre

well, I'm at S rank without a single lost matches, so yeah it is. Bouncer missions are hard tho

[Johnnius]

Yeah I don't know why they made it easier, the previous games coliseums were much more difficult, rage inducing at points.

Got S rank last night, I didn't die once, hell most matches I won within a few seconds.

This is on hard.

I feel as though they have tried to balance it but went too far in the other direction.

Once the Amons and El Diablo get involved, the free-for-all fights involving them can get hairy if you're not careful. If you haven't seen a lion or a rocket launcher, don't talk to me about how easy coliseum is 😉

The rest are definitely easier than previous games though.

I've had all of those and whilst the difficulty definitely goes way up it is still much easier than Kiwami 1, I've only come close to dying once and that involved several legends and a lion.

Fair enough :p I've died a few times, mostly due to getting careless with a rocket launcher around... and that one time I forgot to heal and had two Amons and a lion starting with 20% health :(

The second last tourney unlocks when you beat the Majima Construction story and the last one unlocks when you beat the Amon brothers, i.e complete all substories.

I am doing the coliseums and have to say the game is pretty hard even on normal. Maybe I just have problems with the control and other ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. IMO this game is harder than Souls games because of the strange lock on mechanic...

I know this is years later.. but u only needed to lvl up more.. that's about it. But to any1 else that might be struggling with this aside from maxing up stats just hold punch and kill everything with that... it has armor and stuns enemies (also learning two quicksteps helps big time)

I can't believe u actually have to beat all sub stories.. meaning I have to learn manjhog (however the f that is) to be able to unlock last one? that's BS.

It's easier to just use the Mahjong cheat item for that substory.
