NG3: Razor's Edge - Day 1 (Ultimate Ninja)

This is the first video of my very first attempt at tackling Ultimate Ninja difficulty in Razor's Edge. After beating Master Ninja, I figured I had a pretty decent grasp on the combat system of this game, but I couldn't have been more wrong. Ultimate Ninja difficulty is leagues more challenging. Enemies are even more aggressive and they seemingly punish almost any mistakes or unsafe moves done by the player to devastating effect. Enemies hit extremely hard and can easily end you in one or two strings of attacks. Ultimate Ninja has forced me to learn a lot of things that I had never even considered before, and I've been enjoying every bit of it. I've decided to give myself the extra challenge of avoiding the use of the Eclipse Scythe and it's ultra overpowered "graveyard spin" attack, and I'm trying to avoid overuse of Ultimate Techniques, but there are points in the game where it almost feels impossible to avoid.

I decided to record this so that maybe others who may be interested in having a go at this difficulty level may learn some tips or tricks from my playthrough to help them on their journey. I used inspiration from several other creators like The Stylesman and his super helpful tutorial guide, Iamaydin1 and his insane record breaking speed runs, Master Ninja Ryu and his excellent combat showcases of the game, and many other talented and amazing players/creators. If you're reading this, thanks for watching! Hope you enjoy.
