Speed Run

This speed run guide/walkthrough is written according to CaT's playstyle
on a fresh run on EASY mode. Best for intermediate and above players.

Stage 1-1
(Minimum aim: ~2 min 10 sec)

Stage 1 Stage 1 Stage 1 Stage 1 Stage 1

As the game begins, attack the thug on the right. Break him once and use High Side Kick to send him flying back towards the wall behind to kill him off quick. Repeat the same on the other thug, and run towards the door where a fatty will come out from.

Stomp on the fatty as fast as you can until he gets up, and then a few punches should take him down. Now go over to the trio to the left of the saloon and taunt them from a little distance. When they get close enough, do a La Bomba.

Against the next 2 coming out of the door, spam Face Kicks, Roundhouse Kicks or anything else fast enough. Once down, enter that door and position yourself so that you can Face Kick that guy on the table near you to the other side of the room where 2 other thugs await. After face kicking him across the room, run over and do a La Bomba and that should kill all 3 of them. Once they're down, unleash godhand at the demon.

After the demon, use your last La Bomba on the fatty and thug that come crashing down from the ceiling. The fatty requires a few more hits before he dies so quickly punch a few before dashing out of the saloon.

Once out of the building, the gate nearby will open along with 3 thugs. Just run all the way past them and all the other enemies to the other side to the next area.

Stage 1-2
(Minimum aim: ~35 sec)

Stage 1 Stage 1 Stage 1 Stage 1

Ignore the 3 enemies you're facing and dash past the bridge. One on the other side, attack the fatty to the right. Break his guard ASAP and use High Side Kick to send him flying off the edge of the cliff. Now wait for the elevator to come down and get on it as soon as the thugs get off.

Stage 1-3
(Minimum aim: ~1 min 50 sec)

Stage 1 Stage 1 Stage 1 Stage 1 Stage 1

Run towards the 2 enemies across you and quickly grab the wood post on the ground. Use it to kill them both ASAP. Once down, run to the left side where a thug stands on a roof and take him and his friend (that comes out from the door) out. When they're down, run towards the threatened villager.

Quickly take the thug and fatty out by all means (I recommend High Side Kick cancels). Once the gate opens:

  1. If you want to save the villager for his Dragon Kick roulette, quickly run past the gate and enter the first house on the right to chase the midget with the antidote. If you're fast enough you can get to him by the time you reach the balcony on the 2nd floor (do a Face Kick). Then, quickly give the villager the antidote and dash all the way to the end and enter the door by the sleeping fatty.
     
  2. If you don't need the Dragon Kick roulette, just run all the way to the end and enter the door by the sleeping fatty.
Stage 1-4: Mr Gold & Mr Silver
(Minimum aim: ~2 min 10 sec)

Stage 1 Stage 1 Stage 1 Stage 1

Spam guard breaks, Face Kicks, High Side Kick / Roundhouse Kick cancels on the enemies before Mr. Gold and Silver to kill them off fast.

Against Mr. Gold and Silver, do a Dragon Kick on both of them when they prepare for the move where they say "Here I come~". Use godhand to take out their remaining life.

If you don't have 2 orbs or godhand, this battle wouldn't be very fast, so I recommend that you always prepare the orbs and godhand before entering this battle. The objects in the room should give you a green card by average luck.

After the battle, enter the door to the next half of the area and run straight for the door to Elvis's mansion

Stage 1-5
(Minimum aim: ~3 min 25 sec)

Stage 1 Stage 1 Stage 1 Stage 1 Stage 1

Option 1:
Quickly take out both the thugs across you and pick up the mallet. Then enter the door nearby, use the mallet to kill off the elite there and PICK UP THE ROSARY CROSS. (I've forgotten the cross MANY times and screwed up my speed run on my best tries) When you're done, run straight past the corridor to the end by the stairs and enter the door to your right. (Even if the elite turns into a demon, ignore him and just run away)

Option 2:
Enter the door to your left quickly and take out the elite inside ASAP using High Side Kick cancels. The thug with the mallet from outside will follow you in to interrupt but with luck you may be able to take out the elite without getting disturbed. PICK UP THE ROSARY CROSS and then quickly run straight past the corridor to the end by the stairs and enter the door to your right. (Even if the elite turns into a demon, ignore him and just run away)

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

Once inside, take out the first 2 thugs quickly (Face Kicks recommended), followed by the next 3 thugs. There's a very likely chance that one of these thugs will turn into a demon and if they do, unleash godhand on it or Ball Buster + High Side Kick cancels. Next, Roundhouse-cancel the 4 midgets. One of them may also turn into a demon. Against the last wave of 2 elites, target one of them and quickly break their guard to spam High Side Kick cancels again. If you have godhand ready, unleash to kill them faster. When done, pick up the rosary cross and exit the room.

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

Run up the stairs and ignore all the enemies (including any demon). Enter the room on the 2nd floor and quickly kill the fatty. Be careful now as 90% chances are an elite and a regular thug are right on your tail (the thug is from the balcony, the elite is from the door outside) and they may attack from behind. Once the fatty's down, wait for his rosary cross to appear, then quickly grab it and rush right out to the cursed door. Unlock it and enter immediately.

Note: If you already have a demon on your tail, defeating the fatty will not call upon another demon.

Stage 1-6: Elvis
(Minimum aim: ~1 min 5 sec)

Stage 1 Stage 1 Stage 1 Stage 1

The fastest way to kill Elvis is to, again, spam High Side Kick cancels. Lure him into a corner, break his guard or do a Ball Buster and then begin kicking. With some luck you may not even have to use godhand or more than 1 roulette orb.
