·Multi-source verified (41/41)

The Commissioner is the boss of Stage 2. He's a large, heavily armored opponent who uses a powerful charge attack, a ground pound, and can summon police officers as backup. His primary weakness is his slow recovery after certain attacks. Phase 1: The Commissioner will primarily use his charge attack, which is telegraphed by him winding up. Dodge this by moving vertically. After he charges, he'll be vulnerable for a short period. He also performs a ground pound that creates a small shockwave; jump to avoid this. Phase 2 (around 50% health): He'll start summoning police officers (Donovan and Y. Signal) to assist him. Prioritize taking out the adds quickly to avoid being overwhelmed. Use your Star Move during this phase for crowd control and damage on the Commissioner. Focus on hit-and-run tactics, punishing his recovery frames. Throws are very effective against him. Keep moving and don't get cornered.
