While basic punching and kicking will get you through most fights, mastering advanced techniques can make Jimmy an unstoppable force.
- Perfect Dodging: Timing your dodge (B/Circle on console, Space on PC) just as an enemy attacks will briefly slow down time, allowing you to get in free hits. This is crucial against tougher opponents like Jocks.
- Grapple Combos: After grabbing an enemy, you can perform various actions: throw them, knee them, or even use them as a shield. Experiment with different button presses while grappling.
- Environmental Attacks: Always look for objects you can use. Trash cans, lockers, and even fire extinguishers can be used to stun or damage enemies. Throwing enemies into walls or off ledges also deals extra damage.
- Weapon Switching: Quickly switch between melee and ranged weapons using the D-pad or number keys. Start with a slingshot stun, then close in for melee.
- Taunting: After completing English classes, your taunts become more effective, causing enemies to become enraged and more susceptible to attacks, or even flee.
- Running Attacks: Sprinting and then attacking can initiate a powerful tackle or jump kick, useful for closing distances or initiating combat.
Practice these techniques in free-roam against random students to perfect your timing and execution. A well-timed dodge or environmental attack can turn the tide of any brawl.
