NGS2 - TDS VS Zedonius MN (Advanced)
5Here is a video demonstration showing how to defeat Zedonius on Master Ninja difficulty using the True Dragon Sword without taking damage.
Strategy - First and foremost there are a few methods you can employ to avoid his aerial slam attack you can either charge an ET and release the instant Zedonius is about to land or you can use the aimed jump to escape its wrath.
Arguably Zedonius' most difficult move to avoid is his fireballs. There are a few methods you can use to avoid taking damage, the first requires you to block dash the first fireball into an aimed jump into a flying swallow.
The other requires you to run dash in-between his fireballs. To do this as soon as you see his fireball animation you need to strat running to either the left or the right and as soon as he throws the first fireball run dash 3 times before finishing with an aimed jump.
If you time this correctly, you will avoid taking damage, please note this is an advanced method of evading this attack. Both of these options were shown within the video.
Furthermore, you can counter attack the first hit of his melee combo, his kick or his grab. Should you miss-time your counter you will face severe repercussions.
As far as combo notation is concerned, I used T T into S T (Hold T after pressing), SC into S S S T. His laser attack is the best opportunity you have to land damage against Zedonius.
As such, I used 360T, On-landing Failed ET, S S S T. If Zedonius tried to kick immediately after I would counter with S. Should Zedonius use his fire wave attack, you can avoid the attack by standing directly in front of him.
Although I did not show this in the video, after an aimed jump to avoid his aerial slam attack, you can use S in the air to deal additional damage before going into the bread and butter combo above or BnB.
