I never realized how much of an unfair boss sera was until this challenge

Sera is the hardest boss by far.

You can straight up wreck Lee and Nishitani with Breaker. As for Sera, protip: don't.

Sera sometimes just stand there waiting for you to move, then he counters you and combo you.

I'm also using noob way similar to Buckhard, which is also let Sera drain you health until you can charge your heat automatically. When you have got one bar then switch to Slugger and stand a distance with him and wait him to come until you can do the slugger heat action (stand a distance and wait him walk to you, he will not hit you if you don't approach him). Once you did the slugger heat action, switch to thug quickly and stomp him twice (need to be quick after the slugger heat action or else you cannot stomp him twice, sometimes you will only able to stomp him once.IF you see him hugging leg after the slugger heat action, then you can stomp him TWICE, IF not then only once.) After stomping him quickly dash back as he will hit you immediately after you stomp him twice, after you avoided successfully the you will able to have one bar heat again then repeat the same again. I did this under 10 mins, the purpose of let him drain you health until you can auto-charge you heat action is to avoid the heat drops during the idle time and it will increases overtime if your hp is in critical. It is easy if you do it correctly, hope it helps because I was also struggling in this lol.

Some dev really hate Majima. All his challenges are way harder than Kiryu's

Breaker style, with Square x3 then triangle will destroy the first 2 bosses. It is the spinning move when he can move on the ground (and hits them on the ground). Once they get up, switch to Slugger and immediately do standing heat action. Repeat until they are dead. Sera by far is the hardest - you can't do that breaker move described above or you will lose. You either have to patient like in devileon7's video, or you can do the method Buckhard1 described (it works, as long as you wait like 30 minutes).

here is my noob way to beat sera. Let your health almost withdraw. The health is now red and go in Thug. Now is the heat action regenerates itself. Run at the edge in a circle around the opponent. Are the first two beams completely, change to the breakerstyl. Run to Sera and Block. Hammers triangle when he breaks your block. You dont take any damage and run the counter. Change again to Thug and so do that again. It takes 30min but he is dead. This work´s because Sera will never grab you.

Quick tip, if you wanna play it safe just use the slugger taunt and the slugger heat action. Sera usually will walk slowly towards you which gives you enough time to use heat actions and when you're low on heat use the slugger taunt. Not only will it deal quite a damage but it will also prevents him from attacking you and raise your heat. - sincerely man who was tormented by Sera's boss fight

Seriously, THANK YOU!! Finally beat Sera after watching your video and picking up the dodging. Was too scared to try to hit him and eating a side-kick combo before watching this. You're made me a master at this game now, bruv. You're a god.

This dude actually makes Thug look really good

I cannot explain to you how many times sera put me in an infinite combo because the slugger heat action dissapears right as I press it

The sera here had me scared of him in all subsequent fights I somehow survived majima ultimate 5 after leaving low from him lol Thanks for all the guides

1:00 - 1:05 dat combo nice ;-)

First try, I got Sera! But I was scared the whole time, didn't want to go for any combo so just play it safe with R1 to kick whenever Sera goes for multiple punches. One kick at a time until he goes down in 20 minutes lol. Hey it works. This video help me out for sure, had more trouble with Nishitani just because his weird tricky attacks were a bit hard to dodge.

Jesus sera is so damn hard I had to quickstep strike the entire time

Another strategy For sera is to make sure you get your health low enough to where the heat gauge starts to regenerate up to two bars automatically then switch to slugger it's important that you maintain a certain distance out of his range of motion you can even bait him to attack sometimes by moving forward for a few steps then quickly moving backward you can either interrupt his combo or do it right after he attacks if you back yourself into a corner no worries just press circle in slugger mode while he's in mid combo and he'll walk right into your stab attack with the bat and stop right in his tracks. Keep maintaining a constant safe distance out of range by circling around the arena and spamming the slugger circle attack once your heat meter is as at two bars you'll notice that when you hit him with the slugger circle attack a special heat action appears for a short moment after he gets hit with the attack activate the heat move then switch to thug and knee him a couple times before he gets up then switch back to slugger and repeat the process over and over again until you win

i wonder if majima ever bragged about beating sera after sera became chairman

I destroyed sera spamming Slugger's taunt

For Sera battle, try X X , Triangle to go behind him and kick him once in Thug style, its a cheese method but it works and its safe, also you can grab him from behind and win the QTE, throw him down ,heat move, 2 kicks when hes down, rince and repeat, Its not working later tho.

The 1st and 2nd bosses were so easy with Majima’s overpowered breaker move, Sera put me through so much rage because he was so hard.

Video was a big help :)

To win against sera you need full hp and fast fingers Switch to breaker style spam 3 square then triangle, if sera kicks you down as soon as you get up spam x then rinse and repeat

Well i quit plat. Sera is unbeatable for me, You're really good, he ALWAYS counters on 1 hit even on his back stuns me and 99% of my hp is gone. i've seen dantedevil video too, but his tactics it's too risky for me. Any advice?

I got Sera by Quickstep Blows till 2nd heat bar, then Rolling Snake when he attacks (sometimes followed by Breaker stomp + pose for more heat), then Heat actions (mostly Slugger, healing factor is a helluva drug). Oh, and keeping a safe distance from him sure helped.

My noob tactic I used to beat Sera: block with the bat when using Slugger style, back off, wait calmly till he comes close enough, hit him with standard heat action with a bat. This is not foolproof and your health will soon drop to red, when you will gain heat automatically. Wait patiently and avoid Sera, hit him when the heat action is ready. It takes few minutes, but you don't need to change styles and is fairly safe in my opinion.

For anyone struggling against Sera, what worked for me was using Thug's Evasion Strike to build up Heat to the second bar, Breaker's Rolling Snake (dodge, then grab at the second Heat Bar only) and Pose Soul (heavy attack on a downed enemy) once or twice, then Slugger's Essence of the Slugger (grab, then heavy attack on the third Heat Bar). If you're feeling bold, Hack Hit (heavy attack on the third Heat Bar at low health) works too.

i'm pretty late but here's how i did the sera fight: you'll have to mix all three styles with this method first if you don't have 1 bar of heat go into thug and quickstep behind Sera and hit him twice until you have 1 bar then go into breaker and use the rolling snake until you enter the 3rd heat bar switch into slugger and do a heat action when Sera is on the floor so you regain any lost health quickly switch to thug and attack Sera on the floor once or twice then you should have 1 bar again and repeat the cycle until he is defeated this is very easy to pick up but very easy to slip up due to the long process

you can use breaker against sera. when you do the square square square triangle sequence, make sure you're at a distance to him and do the square 3x then when you're about to do the spinning kick immediately go to his direction. if you're lucky, you will be able to get near him and target the back of his legs and execute the combo and the kick that has the most damage. there's a probability that he will do a leg sweep to stop your spinning combo and thats ok. just immediately go away from him and start over the combo sequence. you can do this trick as well on different bosses that dont want you to execute the square 3x part.

you can guard with slugger to build up heat then press triangle. just beat him. plus the swinging bat combo.

If you are struggling with this remember that rolling snake exists. Roling snake can be helpful against Nishintani because when he fake falls after the move he does a little taunt which you can grab with with rolling snake and use slugger guard break heat action or regular bat heat action. For sera you wait for him to attack. If he doesn't attack and you go under the heat bar required (you need heat bar 2, 1 and 3 won't activate rolling snake) use majima thugs dodge heat gain. Rinse and repeat until you beat sera.

what i did: breaker for the lee and nishitani (squarex3 triangle combo), for sera i recommend slugger and keep distance so he uses a combo, at the last attack, press the grab button to stab him in the gut, really slow but you can keep safe distance with this move

How do you grab them like nothing, when I try they dodge it

I managed to beat Sera with tiny bit of health left and made it to Ultimate Battle 6. But the damn power of my apartment goes off and I have to start over from Ultimate Battle 2! Luckily enough, I managed to beat Sera again.

Good tips for sera 👍

Thanks for the tip.

I actually just got that sera part down using that breaker method lol, while on the ground spinning I kinda circled around him and kept hitting him with that last hard spin kick in the air. Once I got him to about a bit more than half of his last health I just did the slugger heat move after hitting B/Circle and he was done

My strat on Sera was to use the breaker counter on his 3rd attack on his rush combo. Switch to Thug if you get to low hp to generate heat for the mighty low hp heat action attack for Slugger. Evade with breaker as necessary to regen some hp.

Now this is super messed up. Watching this vid seems like a totally different game to what I'm playing. When Sera jabs me he sends me into instant daze and then finishes me every time. Only thing I'm going to try different is beating the second guy using the thug tactic as using the heavy whirlwind attack causes him to break my combo and then do massive damage. The thing I really hate though is that unlike the rest is that it won't let you try something else and come back to it. Don't know why but its poor design.

Here's my way to do it. 1) Lee isn't an issue at all, just spam the breaker combo (square, square, square, triangle), you will demolish him in 1 minute. If he manage to deal too much damage to you, better to restart from the beginning. 2) Same strategy you used for Lee, use it against Nishitani. If he manage to deal too much damage to you, restart from the beginning. 3) Against Sera, at the beginning, you should have at least 2 heat bar and almost full health. Enter the fight stance in slugger style by holding R1 and then press Circle, if this attack hit him, then instantly press Triangle to perform an heat action. This way, you will recover a bit of HP and do some damage. After that, while he is still laying on the ground from the heat action, start the slugger combo (square,square,square and then spam triangle), this way, you will hit him and he can't stop the combo. With this combo, you should have recovered some heat, then proceed again with the heat action from before and then with the slugger combo. Repeat until you have beaten him up. Remember, with slugger, you can parry attacks from behind and will recover health with heat actions. You may fail on the first try, but keep doing it and you'll eventually manage to do it, just keep trying.

Pro tip: Build up your heat up to the second bar, switch to breaker and press X then O to use the move where you sweep him, then when your bar reaches third gear, switch to thug and use a heat action on the ground. Then repeat

Tip for last fight, works better if flashing red hp but works either way, just do light jabs to sera from behind no finisher to build up heat to 3rd, jab then dodge away then swap to slugger to do finisher at a distance.. it works best at red hp cus of the knife+bat finisher does a shit ton of damage, very easy i didn't get hit once.. sera is only a pain if u do a triangle move in combo.

This is the way I finally got sera: If you reach him above red life, use slugger and defend, just defend, he will come to you and hit you filling your heat, when your 2nd bar is full you can use slugger heat action or if you reach 3rd bar poke him with circle and hit triangle right after to perform the heat action, he can break your defense and stun you in two consecutive hits so be carefull. When/if you are in red life, use buckhard1 strategy, just run around the stage and let your heat charge until the 2nd bar, the next step is very important USE SLUGGER !!!!!!!!AFTER AND ONLY AFTER HE USES HIS 4 HIT COMBO APROACH HIM FAST AND POKE HIM WITH CIRCLE AND INMEDIATLY AFTER HIT TRIANGLE TO PERFORM THE HEAT ACTION RINSE AND REPEAT, IF YOU HEAL ABOVE RED (BECAUSE YOU HEAL USING HEAT ACTIONS IN SLUGGER), JUST LET HIM TOUCH YOU ONCE IN THUG AND THEN RUN AWAY

Finally got him after numerous attempts. It seemed impossible at first, but doable once I knew what was going on. Here's my winning strategy: - You basically get a free throw against the gate door at the beginning, as shown in the video - Holding R1 is a MUST, which I rarely ever used before and wasn't apparent in the video - With R1 held, use X to dodge in Thug mode. Most of the time at the beginning you can bait out his purple attack, and follow up with Triangle (kick). I really underestimated the range of Majima's kick attack. - Later in the fight (around yellow/orange bar) Sera will stop auto-attacking when you press X to dodge. At this point you have to just wait for him to attack, and try to dodge to his side and follow up with the triangle kick. It's not too bad once you get the hang of it. Be constantly moving left or right (with R1 held) while waiting for his attack. - Once you have two heat meters built up, switch to slugger, and back-dash a few times. With R1 still held, stand still and let Sera come to you, and immediately press triangle to do the slugger heat action when the icon appears. If you're moving (not standing still) it messes up the heat action execution. If you're near death, you get an added knife attack in the heat animation, which I think does more damage. - When he's on the ground after doing the slugger heat action, switch back to Thug mode and do one or two knees (triangle) on the ground. - Go back to the X to dodge step and repeat - If you screw up at any point, immediately back-dash, and repeat the X to dodge step - After doing it so many times, I found myself paying less attention to my health (which seemed to help) and concentrated on dodging/attacking

It took me longer to beat Sera in this Battle than to beat the next four ultimate battles in a row

There's a really EASY way to beat Sera. What you want to do is enter THUG mode and repeatedly press X to move around and dodge around Sera in a circular motion but more like a square. What this will cause is your HEAT to go up. After your HEAT enters Level 2, immediately move away and change to SLUGGER mode. Move the left analog stick to face Sera and he will begin to approach you, when he gets close enough you can do your special as the TRIANGLE button appears for your SLUGGER special, and you want to press Triangle to do your special. When Sera is on the floor, walk up to him and hit him twice Triangle while he's on the ground. Then rinse and repeat. This will take about 10 mins and is the safest way I've found to do it. I show a small clip of this on my youtube channel.

First try I Made it to Sera with low hp. Now I can't even the 2nd boss. I always try staying in the 3rd heat bar. But then he makes completely new attacks... I f* hate this battle

I get Nishitani down to 1 hp bar and he then becomes immune to grabs and dodges all combos

You can no damage the first two guys by throwing in brawler, switching to breaker and doing squarex3 triangle full spin while they're n the ground, switching to slugger and doing the heat action as they get up. Then repeat breaker combo/slugger heat, they'll never get a hit in.

A bit of advice. Both Lee and Nishitani can be overwhelmed using Box Box Box and triangle Dancer/Breaker combo; if you time it right.

looks like the nistani fight got longer compared to your Japanese run

Boy, wtf with your skill?? Godlike. Also, Do you platinum Yakuza 0? How did you cope with the RNG bullshit? Specially the JCC. I'm so far, but my will is wavering. I don't think I can take anymore of the random BS!! Any tips?

I F'n did it! Wooooooo! Alright the first guy kick his ass with Thug till he falls on his arse and then go in all out breaker style. Not much dodging if ever... The second dude just go all out breaker style and follow the purple dodge haze to counter his knife attack cause you'll hit him out of the attack. Not much dodging if ever... "Now for Sera EASY MODE! Some things to Note covering all Situations!" 1). If starting the fight at Heat level 3 - Use Slugger Heat With Triangle To Smack His Head In! Switch to Thug style and dodge away! Building heat to level 2! Now use Breaker Style - when Sera attacks - Dodge with X and immediately press O! You will get Sera on his ass! You can repeat this till heat level 3 - or switch to Thug when he is on his ass for a heat move Triangle! Press Square Repeatedly! As long as Sera is on the floor you can use a Thug Heat move with Triangle at Heat 2/3 for decent damage. 2). If starting the fight at Heat Level 2 - Use Breaker Style - when Sera attacks - Dodge with X and immediately press O! You will get Sera on his ass! You can repeat this till heat level 3 - or switch to Thug when he is on his ass for a heat move Triangle! Press Square Repeatedly! You're choice. 3) If starting the fight with no heat at all - Use Thug and dodge away as dodging builds heat and you don't have to get up his ass... the heat will still go up if there is a bit of a gap between you and him. It will go up to at least heat 2. Then like I've previously said switch to breaker and when Sera attacks, dodge with X and immediately press O... so he is on his ass vunrerable. Now you can go get him on his ass again till heat 3 or go in for the heat action as Thug with Triangle to then spam Square! Thug - Bulid Heat By Dodging To Heat Level 2 Using The X Button Breaker - Sera attacks - Dodge with X and press O immiediately! Sera On Ground - Switch to Thug and use Heat action with Triangle and then spam Square during the heat action. Sera Standing and you have Heat Level 3 - In this case you better switch to Slugger and use Triangle Heat Action... then go back to thug... build heat... ground his ass with breaker... you get the idea. It all just repeats through the whole fight! You can only knock Sera on his ass at Breaker Heat 2... it never worked for me at level 1 or 3. So I have covered everything... absorb it, practice it and you'll get it done! : D

First 2 bosses were easy but man Sera almost destroyed my will to live. None of the strategies here ended up working for me so all I did was lock on to him and when he went for his 4 punch combo I would slide Majima's slugger B move where he stabs the dude with the bat from a distance. It took 25 minutes but it worked lol

After countless attempts i think the safest solution to Sera is this: 1. Probably the hardest part. you need to get your health to flash red without dying. Preferably it should be as low as possible. It's risky to lower it on Sera as it's basically impossible to escacpe his combo once it's started, and he does around half of your HP per combo. 2. Run around the map without stopping, sometimes run near Sera to bait him into doing an attack. Now, he has 3 different moves he can do: A singular punch, a 2-punch combo, and a 4-punch combo with the last hit being a finisher. The last one is what we need. Basically, since your health is red, your heat will constantly fill. This means you get 2 full bars for free. After Sera does his finisher, he is left vulnerable for around a second. This is your chance to use slugger's block break move, which gives you a tiny bit of heat, which is enough to push into third heat level. 3rd Heat means you can immediatly use the heat action on the same second. This deals some nice damage, and it's mostly safe as long as you don't miss the block break, which WILL leave you vulnerable. Do note though, that each heat action use on slugger will recover some hp. Depending on how low it was, you might lose your source of heat in the middle of the battle. Also another safe (though a bit risky) move you can do is with rush style. You only need 2nd heat level. If you manage to direct his attacks in a way Sera will do the finisher while near a gate, lock onto him and do a grab (the camera and the grab hitbox is janky, so hitting him without lock on is tedious, trust me). After that immediatly use your heat action and do the two QTEs that will deal some extra damage and allow you to kick him once or twice too. The risks are: 1. Time to throw him is limited. You CAN get him just close to a gate and carry him there during a grab, you have 2-3 seconds before he breaks off. But only on the first uses. Starting for your third grab, he will counterattack you in less than a second, which will deal damage; not that high, but not too low either. Ideally starting from third grab you should only try this if he's next to the gate. 2. Chance to miss the grab is high. As i said, without lock on, it is barely possible to grab him. And unsuccesfuly grabbing him means he'll punish you, possibly with a half-healthbar combo. This tactic might seem cheesy, but we are talking about the guy who can counter every single of your combos... i think he deserves to be cheesed. Thank god you only encounter this absurdly buffed Sera once, in the second fight he has normal damage.

Breaker's broken LA x2 + wait Majima to land + LA + HA x infinitum is effective as usual. Nishitani requires avoiding his lying knife posture. Sera is dumb and cheap af. 1st wave: just spin-to-win and you will block-stun him and he will not get a chance to attack you. You can interrupt all of his attacks with breaker spin move spam. 2nd wave: prepare the sweeping spin in advance or he'll stab you. Once the recovery spin on get-up finishes, retreat and repeat. The AI fails to get your sweep spin location right or sth. 3rd wave: A cheap way: Strut elbow his predictable attacks with Lock-on + Heat Action. Heal when flashing red by sidestep-doging. Stay at max hitting range when spinning. In detail: 1. Lee: focus on spinning as close to him so that you can keep his slow-ass attacks interrupted and never happening. Stay close to him like tick and he'll helpless. Cornering him useful. 2. Nishitani:He can sometimes stab through your spin. If he starts running towards you, move away so that hopefully he gets hit by your spin and you stay not-stabbed. 3. Sera: When you spin away from him, he will vulnerably start rushing towards you, probably because the AI does not get how slowly you move when spinning. Bait him slowly. More crud: 2. Nishitani's ghostly dashes are less likely to pierce your spin, probably because of an increased hitbox. Nishitani most vulnerable when walking or getting up from lying knife posture. 3. Circling around Sera when spinning seems to confuse him quite a bit, so try to arch around him a bit instead of going straight at him like you should do with Lee. Sera not huggy. Sera is so counter-natured that his movements reverse yours input wise. You to input to approach, be backpedals. The opposite is true, so backing away makes him approach riskily. So if you want to make it much more likely for Sera to step into your damaging spin, press away and he might approach even if you are completely stationary provided that you signal the game that you are trying to move. Input countering, not cheap at all. "Two can play that game, dill hole." How to heal with Breaker: Side-step when the health is flashing red. Sera's attacks of short reach, making this almost a trivial way to regain health against him. It's the tier 6 skill called Breaker (Renewal), a yellow one in the SW of the ability square. How to kill Sera fast: Strut elbow with Lock-On + Heat Attack to counter his attacks - not difficult, the counter window is long with Sera's slow as attacks. Random Sera strat tidbits: a. Sometimes you have to bait Sera's combo out or he'll hit you when trying to spin-damage him. His pattern determination is similar to Mr. Shakedown: distance. Stay away until he attacks and then go in for the punish, carefully arching around him at max range unless he gets noticeably hit-stunned. In that case, go around his back for more damage and move potential. Sera's counter moves to escape stuns are pretty much his normal attacks i.e. those slow-ass blue splash ones. If you fail to time the elbow, stick to spinning. When elbowing, would out for his stuns. Just spin around Sera at max hit range if you want the easiest way out of that dude. Side-step dodge to heal a bit when the health flashes red. I LOL'd at the Earth's Angel okama bartender that is cheering by the door of Lee's clinic room.

Evil Majima: Nah fuck this customer, he ain’t no king I’ll kick his ass in my own establishment.

The first 2 can easily be beaten by the dance battle spam move.

First 2 Bosses can be defeated easily by Breaker "◻️" + "◻️" in Mid on the Floor press "∆" And sera is Just Changing Slugger and Thug, Slugger for Heat actions And Change to thug when Sera its on the floor press Double time "∆" and do quickstep when he's up to get heat "dodging" The combo We won't even have to expose ourselves, just by doing quickstep Change to slugger to do this heat action, repeting this process until sera's is Defeat

I must have gotten pretty damn lucky, because this was one of the easier majima challenges for me. Was it a cheese method? Absolutely. But after some of those previous challenges, I was going to take whatever I could get. Lee and Nishitani, break dance into oblivion. 3rd finishing blow (the windmill) over and over. I get to Sera, and I’m trying to figure out some strategies and I go ‘fuck it, might as well give the tried and true windmill of death a shot’. Get him down a few health bars and he gets me trapped in a combo until I’m wounded. I just so happen to switch back to thug, and I see my heat bar rising. So I keep my distance until I hit one bar, switch to slugger, easy heat action, repeat process until he’s done. In short, reach critical health, use thug, dodge until at least one heat bar full, switch to slugger, essence of the slugger, repeat process.

MASSIVE MAN

Woah i still cant beat sera

2023, I have beaten literally every single other ultimate battle game mode (except the judgments but that will change soon), and I get trumped by this man in a funny white suit. To be fair I got trumped by half the battles in this game so bleh

Nishitani is harder for me than Sera for some reason. With Sera I die because I barely have any health left but I can manage to drain him to 20%-30%

How I cheesed Sera: I was too scared to hit him normally after a non 4 hit combo, so what you do is run around until he does a 4 hit combo then throw him with Thug style. Eventually, he'll start breaking out of the throws. After that switch to Slugger then maintain a safe distance from him. Every time he misses something punish it with circle since it has huge range

spent about 20 minutes in the sera fight running around, waiting for him to do a 4 hit combo, then pressing circle once with the slugger style, and running away again. took forever, but was a safe method to take him down. Only 4 more...

What I did is the following: Until Sera denies throw: wait for him to finish the 4 hit combo, grab him, throw on the floor and heat action (all thug style) When Sera denies throw (somewhere between green and yellow bar): Slugger taunt when he aproaches slowly, then slugger heat action (be careful on this one) I mean, you have to be a p*ssy but it's the only way to defeat him having one of his combos take away half your health. Oh, and for the first 2, just start spining with XXXY on breaker style, they can't handle it, only Sera can lol

I'm playing this challenge now 😀

Sera is pulling out his Essence of the Motherfucker. What a non-sense boss.

Help with Nishitani please

first campaign run, my solution to beating sera was switching to slugger

THIS DUDE SIDE STEP ATTACKS AND STUN LICKS YOU FOR 50% HP, WTF

sera is too hard. round 1 breaker and 5x Square and then Triangel smashing. So it makes a Rising Rotor and Glaciate. Now is the enemie down and start it again. Same in round 2 but sera is everything blocking. A Grab don´t work. He just countered everything

Sera is impossible, I'm about to abandon 0 because of him. Climax battles and completing the story on Legend are the last things I need to do, but he's just too busted. Nevermind, figured out a fail-proof strategy: Use slugger, get to critical health, run around in circles and when you're at the full 2nd heat bar, bait him into doing his 4-move rush combo, lock onto him and press circle right when his combo is about to end. You'll hit him everytime, and then press triangle to do the heat action. Switch to Thug and stomp him. Repeat.

Edit:i fucking beat him there is my shitty rng heavy method. 1.dont sugarcoat it and square+square(wait for majima to go on the floor)+triangle the first two guys 2. Do the same to sera,but similar to how you do it to homare,get distance and dont aim at at him at the start of the combo,then when you are rolling try to get to the back of Sera legs,you can sometimes stunlock him for a bit and do good damage...he is going to hit you sometimes...but this is part of the strat,just do as much damage as possible and wait for when you are in red health(if you get lucky like me you can get even extra damage with that heat action when Majima gets guardbroken) 3.when your health is flashing just run around until you get 2 full bars of heat ,change to slugger,wait for Sera to start his combo and interrupt it with the circle attack,press triangle to do the heat action.then hit him in the floor two times and run away 4.repeat until he is down. Chinese saejima and homare are easy af,once majima starts breakdancing,they are dead,just be careful for when homare does his laying down in the floor atack,but man sera is impossible,i have gotten to him full health and still cant beat him

Easily done on the two before Sera by Light x4 + Heavy 1 Breaker then Slugger heat action. Then for Sera I have Rolling Snake the living shite out of him with heat actions.

Alright, after mixing my own ideas, the comments and the video itself. I have a valid strategy. First boss: breaker, 3 rush hits then spam heavy. If done right you should be beating the shit out of him while he’s on the floor: continue spamming for the final flip kick up and then a 360 kick which should knock him back down when he’s attempting to get up. Then quickly repeat. On occasions he can break out of this. But his attacks offer ample time to start the combo again. Second boss: god this lads annoying, even I take abit of damage from him so don’t get too disgruntled if he does that stupid unblockable. Starting the breaker we did before is extremely risky so to loosen him up. The dodge kicks in thug are perfect. Just watch for the purple aura he gives off, then dodge. When he acts to fall over. Walk up to him and bait the sliding/cutting move, change to breaker. When he finishes this move, the time it takes him to get back up from such a stupid looking move gives plenty of time to do our triple rush hit and spam heavy move. Now a knack to this one to maximise effect is when this combo is done. Quickly change to thug and do a heat move, this move will do extra damage and stun him onto the ground again for you to fit another whole breaker combo onto him. This can be chained however is abit tricky to keep going. I personally didn’t use slugger. But I can see if you wish to incorporate it yourself. Sera... ahem: now for the problem your probably here for. There are two modes for taking him on. If you have health you must take the riskier of the two. Prepare to dodge kick him every time he attacks. Just like the second boss. Be ready for a purple aura to give it away. Or just go off his movement. Then dodge kick, do this multiple times until you have heat. Then make distance so you both are just staring at each other without moving. And be in slugger. Sera will eventually walk towards you but never attack you (poor you if he somehow does. But again. He really shouldn’t) and then quickly bash him over the head. Then use thug or slugger ground attacks on him twice. Then repeat. However if the time arises that your health becomes red. Resort to constantly keeping distance so he cannot hit you. Wait for majimas auto heat gen ability to hit 2nd bar. Once it does. Stand still and let him come to you. Beat him over the head. Then double hit while he’s down. And repeat. Thank you to everyone’s comments that contributed to me writing this. I’m just too lazy to copy paste everyone’s names but yeah. Y’all are lads. I wish you luck on the future fights

I’m about to abandon 0 because of Sera

Guys I found Sera strat, it is called rolling snake 💀 eyy but I finally won

A Sera strategy You MUST begin the fight against him with at least 90% HP and 3 Heat Bars. Immediately use "Essence of the Slugger" by sunning the enemy with O/B and then pressing Y. (Lock on with R1/RB help) Next spam UP to switch to Thug and hit him with Triangle/Y twice, DO NOT move Majima at all. The first is a kick that flips the enemy allowing the second ground kick. Now for the main part of this strategy, getting back to Heat Lv3 and we'll do this by simply using Square Square Square Triangle (The flurry Bat move). You should Initiate when he finishes his purple punch combo. Now you'll need as much health a possible because he will use HYPER ARMOR and hit you while you're doing it. Once you have Lv3 Heat, wait for him to finish his Purple Punch combo and hit him with Essence of the Slugger again. (Lock on with R1/RB help)

Another very nooby strat I found is holding lock on (R1) and circling around the stage with Sera following. Whenever he does the 4-hit combo towards you stay just close enough to hit with 1 heavy attack (Triangle) at the end of his string. It took forever but it worked.

For anyone still struggling with Sera, I found a solid way to do it. Basically do the low spin move (Xbox), (X),(X), wait for Majima to jump, (X), and then (Y) but move yourself behind Sera. He will take a ton of damage if he counters you, he will just do a kick which will do minimum damage. Do that for a while until he starts countering more often (noticed it when I reached Green bar). My health was about 1/2 so I did some dodges in thug, grabbed him, and then used heat action. At the yellow bar, my health was critical to I switched to slugger and ran around until 2nd heat maxed out. Waiting for Sera to attack, blocked, and then got to 3rd heat. Used the knife + bat heat attack which does tons of damage. After that, you regain some health so switch back to thug and dodge and hit until your health goes to critical. Rinse and repeat. Time to beat him for me was about 6 minutes.

3:20 Majima kinda reminds me of Iori Yagami from KOF somewhat

I spent like 11 minutes to beat Sera on this goofy ahh challenge, I just dceided to slugger and just block every hit and run away, then when my heat was on 3rd bar I hit him with the dagger and bat, slowly but surely I killed him

The first two bosses you can play it safe in slugger mode and guard their attacks to build heat meter to level 3 then do circle triangle for massive damage. For nishitani he will throw you if you guard too long in front of him and do unfair amounts of damage so try to keep your distance at times and do bat nunchuck in between guard spam and heat moves. I just got to sera on my second try and he is godly lol 😂 i don't know if my strat will work on him but i will try to reach him again tomorrow and test it out

I finished all the stuff, and now I'm ultimate battle 2. I really hated the legend take no damage ones, and millionare battle 2. I also learned I'm better as Kiryu, and less at Majima. Could be because Kiryu has a tiger drop, and Majima has a breaker counter. But, I spent hours, so I just need to refresh I guess.

Nah dude Breaker works amazing on Lee&Nishitani only damn Sera is problem.

If u have good timing u can use the Breaker Triangle Counter on Sera(thats how i beat him)

Like how the fuck do you even move that fast when fighting Sera? The way you dodge around in the middle of your attacks seems impossible! I try to do the whole flanking around thing, but by the time my dodge animation ends and I can attack, he already turns around with his next attack. There's just no fucking way!

I cant even deal with Nishitani. Any tips?

how do you unlock this?

you can beat Lee in 30s with breaker lol

I hope to God amon isnt in these climax battles

I found a way to make the first two bosses SIGNIFICANTLY easy. Almost cheese easy. Boss 1, immediacy do a s,s,s,t combo to build up one heat bar and put him on the ground. Switch to slugger and wait for him to stand up half way, then heat action to put him on the ground. Immediately switch to breaker style and s,s,s,t to start the ground combo against him. Keep mashing t. The boss will stay on the ground and take all the hits, and clear out the annoying furniture in the room. You’ll both stand up, but you’ll have a second to switch back to slugger style and nail him with the standing heat action again. Switch back to breaker style, and rinse-lather-repeat. You’ll take him out without ever being hit once. The second boss is exactly the same, except start with a grab and throw to put him on the ground for the first time. For the third boss, you can use this to get rid of about 3/4 of his health before you’re in the red and should just switch to the slugger heat action over and over.

Playing this made me realize how fucking good Kiryu is and how weak Majima can be sometimes. Probably just me kuz i'm stinky fart at this game, but I had to rely on the Breaker dodge move you do in second heat. Compared to Kiryu where I just used Brawler and won.

Lee is easy af. You basically uses him to build meter for Nishitani

This is really pissing me off

These climax battles ruin this game for me. I ain't putting up with this bs anymore. It's not worth it

Sera is impossible to beat this shit game is so random

I cheesed the fuck out of Sera, running him around like a little bitch while my Heat gauge would go up, stop and hit him with the bat attack, rinse and repeat. Freakin' pathetic but I regret nothing, lol.
