I usually go for punch > punch > punch > grab > elbow > elbow > football kick. Spin kicks are your best best against the ninjas at the end of level 2. Beware, though: if you don't connect, they'll just stab you to death. For the part in level 4 with the low ceiling, don't try anything fancy; keep kicking and let the enemies walk into your foot. This is your best defense against the larger guys who have a longer reach. If you take them down, you can then stand on top of them and try to kick them as they get up. In the last room of level 4 with the conveyors, walk down as soon as you enter. You'll walk onto solid ground. Jump across, then position yourself to walk straight up and through the door. To cross the river in level 5, position your feet so they're horizontal to the top edge of the top bridge. Then simply get as close to the edge as you can and jump. Levels 6 & 7... uh... timing is key. On level 8, the ghost boss likes to disappear and possess you. When he does, count to 2 and do a spin kick. He'll lose his chance to get you and rematerialize. Also: when the ghost is near death, you CAN perform a grapple move on him. bust3dstr8: Gotta use the Cyclone kick it's worth 500 and does less damage than the uppercut.You can get extra hits from the alot of the enemies, the firebombers, the tarzan freak, the army guy and the nunchuckers.

Lauren Tyler Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 21,540 I swear I'd get killed at the end of the fourth level with those conveyor belts, but I managed to make it through intact. It's the water in level five that gets me. (You'd think martial arts masters would know how to swim?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And watch out on level 6 OH MY GOD Yup, I'm going through my controllers right now. Gonna find the best one and clean it up nice. Whoever thought it was a good idea to put in precise platforming where you have to hit two tiny buttons to jump should be kicked in the nads.

Lauren Tyler Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 (edited) 44,810 Getting better, but those conveyor belts in level seven are a PITA! Oh yah regained the World record and new fastest completion will submit to twingalaxies 118,450 No leetching obviously I'm sorry, but I really think this score shouldn't be allowed since by going to the extra level it allowed for extra points. Your call, bobby. Edited March 16, 2007 by LarcenTyler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's still plenty of time to play again on the correct difficulty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjchamp3 Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Ok and my game froze so put me back at first where I should be. 81,740 not even done yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucket Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 (edited) EDIT: 106,320 And I think I can get a bit higher. I've got a strategy. BTW, that thing I said about grappling moves is a bit misleading. Usually I have it on Supreme Master, but in Warrior mode the enemies have less health and die before you can squeeze enough points out of them.

Bucket Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 I got about 138,000 on Supreme Master. This is without beating the game, though-- the boss won't cooperate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
