Epic Failure.

----- ----- -----

My Guy anti-boss skills have gone a long way since I first started playing ACS. With refined knowledge and many tricks at my disposal, I took on Unknown Mode. On a less honorable note, I also use my semi-infinite Guy combo, but not endlessly.

At any rate, Unknown Mode is very difficult, and things can go wrong VERY fast. This video is the perfect example, where what looks like a bug turns my win into a massive ownage, with me on the receiving end.
However, this fight also has some useful strategies for Guy players to see, not to mention an epic last duel, so why not upload it?
And for once, let's use appropriate music!

CREDITS (because that's what I should put in the middle of the description)

- Act Cadenza Strife (Tales of A.C.S.) by Anibache
- English Guy file by CeonnStudios
- Musics : "Awkward Justice" from Tales of the Abyss, "Betrayal" from Tales of Destiny, "At the Time of Farewell" from Tales of the Abyss, "Coup de Grbce" from Tales of VS, all copyrighted Namco Bandai. (Yes, I know Nebilim's battle theme isn't the one I put, but her battle theme sucks in my opinion)

Here's some tips for Guy players wishing to face Unknown Mode :

- The enemies are the same as Mania, except for one, and the order is reversed. My Mania mode victory video has some useful tips that still work here.

- Try tricking the foes into not even attempting their Hi-Ougis, instead of dodging them when they come out. For this, don't jump over Sync, don't attack Hugo while he is getting up, and stay in the air or a screen away from Nebilim. Barbatos is pretty random, but they're dodgeable. The last boss... I've no idea yet.

- Use your awesome aerial backdash to dodge spells, then Taunt (press E) for free TP.

- Don't despair if you're having trouble with Sync. I still have more trouble with him than Hugo, Nebilim and Barbatos together.
