Tips on fighting GLD/REG enemies.

[alvare]

Any tips on how to kill GLD/REG enemies in story mode or whatever ?

IK works quite well, but it has a lot of luck involved (some people call it skill) and for Sol's good ending you need to no-continues-whatsoever, and kill I-No (and maybe Slayer) gold regenerative. Also I have only killed GLD/REG enemies with IK or with infinite tensions, could never do it "right" (like kicking their asses).

The best advice I can give is to just not kill them.

If you're waiting until the next meet, then get in practice mode and grind some combahs and setups.

"not kill them" like in time-out? I actually didn't even look at the clock, but supposing there is infinite time, what's left?

There's really no point to trying to do it "right" except to practice hitconfirms, because AIs aren't people. The AI does has a lot of holes in it (for instance, be Potemkin, get one knockdown. then "whiff" a slidehead on their wakeup. They will almost always block low and give you a free combo) but if you learn to abuse those, that forms bad habits when you fight a real person.

If you just want to beat the single player and aren't using it as practice... well, like I said. The AI has holes in it! Use lots of meaty projectiles and dirty tricks like Potemkin. For Sol, meaty gunflame every time.

Yeah I was asking for exactly this type of tricks, the Potemkin one sounds cool! But still, don't hitting them on wakeup just once when their health is low is fatal, they recover it extremely fast.

Well, I gotta practice.
