You'll likely face a character with a distinct playstyle in this mission. For example, if you're up against Earthquake, focus on staying out of his close-range command grabs and punishing his slow, telegraphed attacks. If it's Genjuro, be wary of his fast slashes and counter with well-timed blocks and parries. This is a good time to practice your Weapon Flip Technique; look for opportunities to disarm your opponent, especially if they are relying heavily on their weapon. Remember that a disarmed opponent takes significantly less damage, so capitalize on their vulnerability with unblockable attacks or throws.
