This continues the casual playthrough of this mode. Ive been doing the more intense shit in the Mission Mode videos I put up, under the Elite NGB Series playlist. Though I still havent redone any of the extreme missions yet. The triple worm fight without healing/ninpo took maybe 4 1/2 hours to complete, so that was the hardest one I redid so far. One of the hardest to do without healing/ninpo is the Alma 2 fight on master ninja in mission mode. I only ever did it without healing, but used ninpo. That may have taken 20 hours of attempts, but I never timed it. That was also back when I was much better at the game.

I will have to work my way up to those, if I do them again to that level. I did beat a few of my old scores though in the process of redoing them 11 years or so later.

Only one death in this playthrough so far, and that was because I didnt go in the menu to heal on the second boss. So it was easily avoidable.

Not too much aimless wandering as I expected for these town stages. Found my way around fairly quickly for not remembering all the details of the levels. Did end up looking up stage 3, because I forgot about the broken window you have to go through. As many times as I went through the story modes in these NGB remakes (sigma, the original, Black) on all the difficulties and also multiple playthroughs on very hard mode in the original to complete the bosses without healing/ninpo for fun, I dont remember alot of the minor details that arent combat related. I spent many more hundreds of hours in Black's mission mode, so that seems to stick better.

For new players stage 4 can be tough with the introduction of the spider ninjas. I was mixing up my moves to make the videos more entertaining, but when I used to play the game seriously I would play purely for efficiency. Not style. Never played with my food just killed shit. My reccomendation is to spam wall jump attacks whenever you can, if you are having trouble with alot of the bosses and enemies. The invincibility frames and fact that enemies are super agressive, means they will eventually go into the attack and take damage. You can just keep repeating them again and again and that can save your ass if you need to resort to it. You can do more damage if you use the wall jump attacks to kill one or two enemies then do some onlanding ultimate techniques and chain those from kill to kill.

I also used to skip encounters that werent required. You can skip alot of fights in the game. I never cared about rank. This isnt a speedrun (or a serious run) so I thought it would be better to mix shit up and do most of the fights for capture.

Stay tuned !!
