Most Fearsome Foes [Episode 2]

Behold the most powerful being in the history of gaming ! Rodin from Bayonetta may not appear very relevant to first-time players but anyone hardcore enough to venture into the territory of the Platinum Ticket will be left with an ever-lasting experience.
Today I am taking an in-depth look at both games' hidden secret boss with greater emphasis on the second entry. As a whole Bayonetta 2 is much more forgiving in terms of difficulty than its predecessor... except for one thing.
Its Rodin fight has got to be the most brutal challenge that I have ever been subjected to in a video game. In order to even get remotely close to an equal-grounds face-off many hours of practice had to be put into it.
The prize for completing this is a powerful weapon exclusively made up of angel and demon arms however since it can also be acquired via the game's built-in cheat codes the actual true reward is getting him in the gallery.
But no unlockable will ever beat the satisfaction of taking down The Infinite One himself, this is probably the only fun I'll ever have with a 1v1 match in a competitive setting, if you see what I mean...

Special thanks to BKRoo, Goinghart, HeartOfLorkhan and AceKrana for showing me some of the cool mechanics regarding these two bosses.

[Edit] Sorry if the image quality during the Father Rodin fight is a bit rough around the edges. Youtube compression did not like that part very much
