[spyfighter5000]

what mission do you get eclipse scythe?

[cerealkiller291]

why does this remind me about afro samurai

[CrazyKaneFighter]

And people think Vincent can beat HimT_T

[SageRuffin]

@CrazyKaneFighter

Who?

[animeking68]

@CrazyKaneFighter valentine?

[TheJudgeofhell]

eclypse scythe is the best weapon in the game thumbs up if im right

[oioioijellyroll]

rap and ninja gaiden go together so well it adds way more style haha

[SageRuffin]

@oioioijellyroll

That's what I was thinking.

It's nice to come across another on a similar wavelength. :P

[oioioijellyroll]

@SageRuffin yeah man i never tried it before, until right now i feel so much more badass haha

[chenxiaozhu123456789]

Ryu is a machine.

[louisejianne]

@deadrise1000 in ps3 version there is blood when you kill enemies

[SexyDanteNeverCry]

nice BGM , great

[cedric4real]

Thnaks SageRuffin. What i meant by Ryu's costumes was, i noticed sometimes when i watch the game on you tube i noticed Ryu wears different outfits at differnt chapters of the game, for e.g black, red, gold,etc. I was wondering how i could change Ryu outfits when i play. Also how do you do the 360y with the lunar staff?

[SageRuffin]

@cedric4real

Hayabusa's various outfits are unlocked whenever you clear a new difficulty - Acolyte for red, Warrior for green camo, Mentor for jaguar print, and Master Ninja for gold.

They all look like absolutely atrocious, but that's just me. I prefer the DLC outfits, namely the Biometal set.

And the Lunar's 360Y? Again, you already know how to do it, *as you just said how to do it*. Unless you mean that you have to rotate the analog stick 360 degrees then press Y.

[cedric4real]

@SageRuffin Thanks bro

[cedric4real]

hey dude, how do you get various Ryu costumes in the game and how do you do the flying swallow and the 360Y? Thanks

[SageRuffin]

@cedric4real

Elaborate on "various Ryu costumes in the game".

And the other moves are easy, especially the second one since you just said yourself how to do it. :P

For the FS, just jump towards an enemy (I prefer X+A) and press Y. It works a little different for the scythe as there's a distance issue there, but it's relatively the same inputs.

[cedric4real]

Hey dude, how or where can you acquire this weapon?

[SageRuffin]

@cedric4real

Automatically acquired after fighting Volf.

[deadrise1000]

hay in the 1st level of the game why dosent blood squart out when u chop their heads off

[ScrinnoD]

@deadrise1000 If you have the PS3 version of this game, there is no blood. But gameplay there still rocks^^

[deadrise1000]

@ScrinnoD hay can u help you know in the first level when u kill the spider thing then the golem comes back how do u beat it

[nickdeon09]

beast mode

[lucasdxx]

you can do those moves only to level 3 of the weapon

[Gigameth89]

Nothing compares to the falcons talons. This is my 2nd favorite weapon, because nothing beats the falcons talon, X button counter.

[Ninjamonkey46]

sigma looks different

[bubbaXzone]

my fav are the daggers. IT's kinda hard with certain enemies but I love the speed and the moves are a-some!

[NingyoAijin]

What I don't like about the scythe in this game is that its combos strike vertically at weird angles so it's incredibly awkward to aim. To be honest I would prefer the lunar staff for crowd control (Still the scythe for large bosses, though)

[redassasain18]

this is the best weapon in the game hands down. 5/5

[Juigijaredjb]

Is it me or does the game get easier once you get the Scythe? I love it!

[MEGAS1LORD1DEVIN]

5/5

[simplethunder]

I've bought this game a few weeks back and I totally love it. I'm still busy doing PotW, and I still semi-buttonbash, but that's changing slowly now. Seeing these kind of vids really inspire me to learn my combos better and such. I'm pretty sure that when I finally get to PotMN I'll get my rimpies pulled out through my throat though. Nice skills :-) fun to watch.

[SageRuffin]

Pfft. I sucked something awful when I made this. I've no doubt that you can easily out-perform anything I did in this video in time.

[DarkOps065]

@SageRuffin - Thats what you gotta love about Ninja Gaiden games. No matter how bad you think you did, you still look amazing.

[mina319]

where do you find it

[SageRuffin]

Chapter 6, story-related (meaning you can't miss it).

[cedric4real]

@SageRuffin How do you do the flying swallow and the drop?

[cmontieltv]

U know what i most like in this game, the fact that u can kill one motherfucker black ninja like 2 or 3 time before he touch the ground, AWESOME!!!

[HARDMAN360]

cómo se llama el combo del 0:07???

[SageRuffin]

English please?

Fortunately for you, I still remember this little bit from school. I can't recall the name, but I can tell you how to do it: XXXXY,YXY. The YXY is optional as it's a bit of a standalone combo attack.

[HARDMAN360]

THANK YOUUUUU!!! and to vídeo, five stars.

[SenorSpaceCowboy]

He asked whats the name of the combo at 0:07

[mymsong]

ur good! but i use the dragon swor dna dthe dragon sword with the eil sword a lot and i know my stoof

[NintendoMegaDrive]

the game is to easy with this weapon

[SageRuffin]

Yeah, you'd think so, wouldn't you?

[NintendoMegaDrive]

i dont think i know

[SageRuffin]

And you've already gone through the higher difficulties?

[Galenin]

How is the combo done when he threw the poor spiderninja up into the air ... ?

[SageRuffin]

River Styx Drop: XXXXXYXY

Alternate: ->YXY

[ploxerdon]

your good.

i wish i could make moves like that....

but the only thing i can are normal hits,execututions(you know,the fatality moves),and flying swallow with some weapons...

need to do weapon master round with it.

[SageRuffin]

Pfft.

I can do better. :)

[ploxerdon]

wow...

just wow....

i am in need of weapon runs then...

[deyu1307]

My favorite weapon.Nice skills btw. i am still searching on how to that move when you stick the scythe into an enemy's neck and swirls him around. can u give me some pointers if you know what move i mean. thx

[SageRuffin]

I honestly have no clue which one that is. Could you elaborate a bit?

[deyu1307]

i found a video of it : watch?v=7JHvyWA3WJA

the move starts from 3:52 and ends at 3:57. I adore that one. i you could help i would really appreciate it THX :D

[kyegeta]

holy shit dude. thats awesome, love the Eclipse Scythe (ever since deathscythe. haha)

and dont listen to the haters, who cares what they think, it was awesome and you got the points needed.

the move is used around 0:52 and 0:58, looks like sammy sosa roid-raging haha

[Kayukie9356]

u did the same sht alot dude like the music is tight but ut skills fighting ot normal to average

[SageRuffin]

Yeah, well guess what? It got me a crapload of points, and that's all the Survivals call for. It doesn't care how you get the points, so long as you get them.

I'll "use technique" when the game calls for it.. Now, if you'll excuse me...

[raddreamstar]

Man u did good. everybody is a damn critique. A bunch of angry nerds out there. This is your damn video and your damn show!

[SageRuffin]

Heh, thanks. I appreciate the support. :)

Admittedly, I *can* do a lot better as I've learned a lot between me making that video and now, but I'll save all that for another time.

[kyegeta]

thats cool man! cant wait to see more with the scythe!

[xX410chea]

How do you do the move where you drag the bodies and continue to juggle? That's just sick...I love it

[SageRuffin]

Press and hold Y near a human enemy when he's down. It only works on certain enemies though, namely those that don't die automatically, like the Mages.

[bbrdante]

oh ok..thanks

i gotta figure out how to do this mode then.

[SageRuffin]

It's the Mission Mode pack that you get from XBL. The last 8 missions are all Survival modes where your goal is to amass as many points as you can before losing all your health.

[bbrdante]

oooohhh. ok lol i thought it was like a game type that you can choose to like fight enemies comin' at you like everywhere non stop.

[SageRuffin]

The enemies are endless in this particular mode, but you can't choose who you fight when like in God of War 2.

[bbrdante]

weapon exhibition...is that some kind of gameplay in the game??

[SageRuffin]

Yup. All the footage was recorded while I was playing the game itself.

[liquidhead]

this weapon rocks, and i guess that it's supoosed to be an improvement over Rachel's War hammer from the original. either way, it's great to use.

[SageRuffin]

It's possible. I sure as hell don't know.

[SamuraiGenkai]

haha i like that explanation XD!!!

[SamuraiGenkai]

Nice sick gameplay.

How many combos do you combine or rather said use:)?

[SageRuffin]

I can't list a set number, so I'll just say that I use whatever I find is most effective. The scythe is one of the harder weapons to free-form with, but with a bit of understanding of the game engine, you can make enemies run and scream at the very presence of your name. :)

[lightninghumanoid]

what chapter do you get the scythe???

[SageRuffin]

Chapter 6, right after you defeat Volf.

[ScorpioX19]

woo hoo i'm about to go inta ch 5, i'm gettin' closer!

[DarkFiraga64]

I just watched your Lunar video, then saw this and a name pun came to my head. LUNAR ECLIPSE. Imagine if Ryu and someone else just stormed a castle with that weapon combo or something. They would tear it apart. It'd be cool we could see something like that in the games, or have a machinima rendering of it (maybe Hayate from DOA can be his partner). I know all this came from a stupid pun, but just imagine it. (We just can't have a second Ryu though. The world wouldn't be able to contain it)

[SageRuffin]

Sounds like something Monty Oum would craft up (if you've ever seen Dead Fantasy or Haloid, he made those). :P

[DarkFiraga64]

Yep, I've seen them (anyone have a guess when Dead Fantasy 3 is coming?) Someone should toss the idea to him. It would be awesome.

[SageRuffin]

In answer to your question, my guess is that it would come out sometime early next year. Somewhere in February, my bet.

[topdogpenguin]

how do you throw the sythe??

[SageRuffin]

As in throw it like a projectile? All you have to do is a Flying Bird Flip (run up a wall, then jump off) and press Y; Hayabusa throws the scythe like a boomerang and inflicts big damage. This attack is capable of decapitating.

Hope that helps. :]

[topdogpenguin]

sweet man thanx

[pyroblade734]

hehe my favorite weapon =P..at like level 11 or so where youre in the ond full of those whale things, i used vigoorian flails, got 100 hit combo hehe maybe that should be the next volume?

[SageRuffin]

Nah, the Flails won't come until Volume 5.

But now the question is: can you wait that long for it? o_O'

[SageRuffin]

Scratch that. Make that Volume... 7.

[chrnkq]

nice video and good fight

u listen the great shit ;D

[SageRuffin]

Thank you, and thank you. ^_^

Look for Volume 4 (True Dragon Sword) coming soon! :D

[shadosatblackphoenix]

Nice, I love these videos.

Question: What is the throwing move at around 0:10, where you lift the enemy up in the air with the scythe and rain pain upon them? I didn't notice that move while practicing :) (but I'm a noob...)

[SageRuffin]

That there is the River Styx Drop: XXXXXYXY.

Alternatively, you can do: ->Y(hold)YXY. Be careful when you use this method, as the ->Y is *incredibly* slow.

[shadosatblackphoenix]

Thanks :) Ouf, , thats the one thing that get to me about NG over other similar games, the combos get hard to remember, with all the weapons and all the combos :)

[SageRuffin]

True... but at least they're fun to look at. :P
