CHALLENGE MODES
Balancing Act
The idea of this mode is to knock as many enemies off the bridge as you can without being knocked off yourself. You have 10 minutes to do this. The best strategies involve using a character with a good reaching jumping attack. Since you don’t have to actually KO the enemies, the jumping attack is your best bet. Just be careful not to jump off the bridge yourself. Also, try to stay in the middle of the stage whenever possible. The enemies come at you in a set pattern.
- One enemy General – Use a jumping attack to take him/her down quick.
- Two Archers – Try to get near them and take them out with one or two jumping attacks.
- One enemy General – See Above.
- Two Archers and one General – Try to take out the archers fast before they can annoy you, then focus on the general.
- Two Generals – These will be warriors of a set team, such as the Qiao sisters or Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Try to use a fast jumping attack and get them out ASAP.
- Six Archers (two groups of three) and a General – Stay cool, and don’t move around much, try to dump a couple archers at one time with a jump attack. When most of them are gone, take out the general.
- A large group including some archers, some soldiers and two generals. This one is tough. Again, stay calm, try to use your jump attack to take out a couple at a time.
After beating this group, the pattern starts over again at 1.
Other hints for Balancing Act
- Don’t be afraid to stay down after getting hit. This will lower your chances of getting knocked around and out of the ring.
- A good way to beat this level is to use Lu Bu. His stomp attack (T) covers a wide range, and sends people flying, making it effective here.
- Another strategy, sent in by jroosevelt: Use Zhen Ji. Her SSST attack is very good for blasting off single characters if you take the right angle. Her Musou attack is also good for this level because it can hit anyone around her, even if she isn't facing them. Also, she doesn't move during her Musou attack which helps to keep you from falling off. Not to mention that the last hit of that attack blasts people away, and is good for knocking 'em off the edge.
