Where the heck did I get Anderson from?? I feel like I should know, but even some Googling offers nothing. I think it was from some other video game, not real life.
Press light attack while moving the stick from neutral to a position. Can't just press attack while moving, so if you're running forwards and need to block something, you need to stop, then press forwards again while pressing attack.
Thank you, that's exactly the part I had trouble with and wish they explained better! I got it, but only as "muscle-memory"... Like being unsure of the capitalization of an old password until you literally mime typing it. If that makes sense.
If you do that in the direction of an enemy while they're winding up an attack, Raiden will just kinda hold his sword up and block the attack. That will block 100% of the damage of just about any attack iirc, and when the gekko do their long range charge attack blocking it that way will give you a nice QTE and let you kill it quickly.
If you do that block when the enemy is just about to hit you, though, you'll block the attack and also hit the enemy with a big counter attack. That feels good.
These I learned naturally after Bladewolf just from good timing. I did "blocks" until I discovered that good timing grants a counter, basically.
And yes. Yes it did.
You'll know when the enemy is about to launch a parryable attack when it flashes red. If it flashes yellow, that attack can't be parried so you'll want to dodge.
The dodge move has to be bought in the shop and is called Offensive Defense. You do it by pressing light attack and jump at the same time, and it gives you some iframes I think.
The game isn't nearly as difficult as we're making it sound, by the way. You really can ration your way through the difficult parts, and the plot is oFfThEwAlL.
Metal Gear is always entertainingly absurd - this is the same, except with much shorter cutscenes, and more animu awesomeness. IMHO.
YMMV, but I love both depending on how I feel.
