The Three Stooges Battle 1

Last revised: 24 May 2007

These three can be such assholes but no worries, you shall kick their ass. You deal with Felix, the big brute, first (he’s the easiest of the three). As the battle begins, run up to him and start punching away until he guards, then break it. Don’t worry if you miss; ducking every time you’re countered works almost all the time. Your objective while fighting this dude is to refill your TP, so every time you break his guard, perform Yes Man Kablaam, then quickly evade-cancel to perform another YMK. (For detailed info on this tactic, check out the Useful Tactics section)

Repeat this until he recovers to attack or until your TP is full. You can easily defeat him just by guard breaking and getting in extra damage from your counter hits. Some of his moves that you must side dodge to evade are his ground waves and (dashing) horn attack; the others are all duck/back flip-able.

Another way to deal with him is to spam High Side Kick cancels (tactic also available under the Useful Tactics section) against a wall. This method also works on Bruce, the boomerang skinny ass.

Now Bruce is who you built up TP for. Like all skinny asses, he cowardly runs away often, so don’t let him get away. He also often does ground sweeps and slide kicks (back flip-able) and throws his boomerang (duck-able). The moment he comes into battle, unleash godhand and punch his lights out. That alone should take out half (or more) of his life. You can deal with his remaining life with a Dragon Kick (or you can do this first before unleashing godhand), by throwing crates or just the usual way.

The last one is none other than Conchita. Use everything you’ve got left on her, especially godhand if you have it. If you do have godhand, always spank her the moment you can while Gene’s godhand is still active; it does a hell lot of damage. If you don’t, you can always throw any remaining crates at her (eventually she’ll get dizzy), then run up to her while she’s still stunned and punch away until she guards, then break, then punch again, and rinse and repeat.
