Alastor's regular form is a man
in a black shirt and pants, and wielding a sword. His advantages are: he
always has his double jump; in transformed state he can control rate of
falling; he can use his sword; and using powers (Slow, Mach-Speed and Zoom)
do not decrease the VFX bar. His disadvantages are: You must press a button
to transform/de-transform before running out of VFX; VFX constantly
decreases in transformed state; usually you run around as regular Alastor
and being vulnerable to 2x damage. When playing as Alastor, do not transform
when you do not have to and watch your VFX bar. The sword can be used by
pressing Punch(4), alternating Punch and Kick, and Punch(4)
in air. Buy the VFX Charger and Hearts as soon as possible.

bonus:

all of Joe's powers (Slow Motion, Mach Speed, and Zoom In).
Hint:
Defeating Alastor:
While fighting Alastor, he will throw swords at you. When the swords start
spinning, go to Slo-Mo and hit the swords. The swords will turn red and hit
Alastor.
Hint:
Defeating Cromartys:
To kill the Cromartys (the pilot looking men in black) very easily, as they
attack with their 4-hit combo, dodge their first two attacks (that will be
indicated by the skulls). They will now always end their combo with a high
attack then a low attack, in that order. If you dodge all of these attacks
it will stun them, enabling you to smash them across the room.
Hint:
Defeating Fire Leo: When playing in the Ultra V-rated difficulty setting, you will
fight Fire Leo just like before. When he uses his tornado spin attack, go
into Slow Motion and watch his head. When his head lowers, press Up,
and when it stays put, press Down. His arm will only swing twice at
you, per hit/placement of the attack. Do this about four to six times and he
will become dazed.
Hint:
Defeating Gran Bruce: When you first face Gran Bruce, quickly use Mach Speed and go all
the way down where Bruce recovers well first. He will try, and you need to
use your Mach Speed and run up and down around that area. He will then get
tired. Start kicking and punching him in Slow Motion or Mach Speed. He will
then spit bombs out at you. Run around again. He will then accidentally eat
one. Hit him, and it will take a lot of health from him. Keep doing this
until you defeat him.
When fighting The Aquatic
terror, Gran Bruce and he charges and catches you with his mouth, hit your
buttons repeatedly to get out or you will keep losing health.
Hint:
Defeating Hulk Davidson: When you start fighting Davidson, he will swing his axe three
times. Dodge the attacks by holding Down before the first swing. He
will then put his head down and charge at the right wall. Double jump over
him, get behind him, and follow him. He will hit the wall and become
stunned. While he is stunned, go into Mach Speed and repeatedly kick him.
When he holds his axe in front of him to block, run away from him. Always
keep him in view. Whenever he is about to charge, he will say something
about birthdays. If he charges the left wall, do the same as what was done
with the other wall, except keep kicking when he blocks. When he jumps, also
jump. Sometimes, he will spin around and throw his axe. Run away from him
while he is spinning, then duck. If the axe misses, his desk will open and
shoot homing missiles which you should kick and punch. Do not follow him
when he goes on the chandeliers.
When you first start, wait
until he lands and swings his axe so that there are three skulls at the
bottom. As soon as you dodge this attack, start Slow-Rhohing him. Do this
three times and he will put his axe over his shoulder and charge. Dodge this
and he will run into the wall and become dazed. Once he is dazed, give him
another dose of Slow-Rhohs. Keep repeating this process to defeat him.
Hint:
Defeating King Charles the 3rd: After you land an attack on him, he will turn into many bats.
Jump up and hit as many of the bats as you can. Each bat you hit will take
some of his life away.
Have some boomerangs with you.
Throw them at him. He will get stunned and fall on the ground. Then, go into
Slow Motion and start punching and kicking him. He will recover soon and do
this by drilling up to the sky. Sometimes he drills up and stalactites will
fall. Dodge them, and when he is vertically level with you, hit them above
you. The thing that happened when you used a boomerang will happen again.
Punch and kick him. Also hit him with a punch or something else and he will
turn into a group of bats. Hit most of the bats. This will drain his energy.
Hint:
Defeating Leo: To defeat this Boss, wait until he stops, then make your way
around to him. Use Mach Speed to punch the rocks that fall from the ceiling
until you are on fire. When you punch him while on fire, he will lose his
flame and become vulnerable.
Dodge his hit a rock at Mach
Speed to get a fire. Then, hit Fire Leo to put out his fire. When Fire Leo
goes into his spinning move, jump twice in the air to get above him. Put on
Slow, and Zoom In. If done correctly, you should rocket down to him, hitting
him many times. This is much more effective than just punching him.
Mach Speed attacking a rock
will make you glow red and invulnerable to all forms of fire; keep this in
mind at all times. At the very start use Mach Speed to get close to him. Be
careful with your jumps and be ready to double jump to avoid pits. Get
close, then punch a rock until you are glowing and attack him (dive kicks
recommended) to put out his flames. Use Slow Motion and Close Up together at
all times when fighting his two stages. First, he will slash normally at
you. Use punches to easily break his armor and allow yourself to dodge
quickly. Then, he will start spinning. This part is tricky. First, back off
and allow your VFX to fill back up, then Slow Mo and slip close to him
again. When close, attack continuously with spinning kicks (in Close Up). Do
not worry about dodging; he rarely hits you like this. If you jump away when
your VFX is low and recharge (provided you have fast VFX recovery bought)
you can usually do this twice or even three times before he jumps away. The
process then starts over.
Hint:
Defeating Rhino Davidson: Start by Mach Speeding him and he will defend with his axe. Two
things may happen. He will either attack you or the axe will slip out of his
hands, leaving him open for attack. If he charges at you, jump out of the
way and run into the fire he left by for extra fire damage when you punch
him. He should be dizzy from smacking his head on the wall, so you can
attack him. Repeat those steps to defeat him.
Hint:
Defeating the Boss with guns: When you smash all of the axes, you will enter a door. Go through
it and you will battle a Boss with guns. When he fires a shot, switch to
slow motion and punch his bullets. Then, slow motion again and keep punching
him.
Hint:
Destroying helicopters, jets, and tanks: Wait until they spawn enemies, then dodge an enemy attack marked
by skulls. When they are stunned, go into Slow-Motion and hit them with a
kick or punch so that they fly into the vehicle. This takes a lot of their
health away. Then, while staying in Slow Motion, do this to all the other
enemies with targets. If done correctly, you can destroy the helicopters,
jets, and tanks without getting out of Slow Motion.
Hint:
Defeating the Boss with the ship steering wheel: You will fact this opponent in Episode 4. You directly up to him.
When he raises his arms and jumps, use your Mach Speed. You will face the
steering wheel. Quickly use Slow Motion or Mach Speed to hurt him.
To defeating the Zombie with
the steering wheel in "Viewtiful Escape", go into Slow Motion and
Close-Up and start punching him. He will either charge up to punch you, or
start hitting his chest, jump in the air, and attack you. If he does any
attack, dodge it and go in back of him. He will get confused and have a
question mark over his head. Then, start punching and kicking him. He will
soon be defeated. You can also throw a bomb close to him and use Slow
Motion. As soon as it explodes, he will get stunned and die.
Hint:
Episode 1: Defeating the helicopter Boss: At the end of the first level when you fight the helicopter, go
into Slow Motion and jump onto it. When you are on top of it, keep punching
the propeller and it will fall to the ground.
Hint:
Episode 2: When you first start the episode, go in slow motion and the water
will get big. It will then fall on the switch. Then, run to get to the door.
At the end of the second part
of Episode 2, after you break the hole in the ceiling with the bombs, you
will enter a room with three lasers, enemies, and a big bomb. Kill the
enemies, then use turbo and keep hitting the bomb until you turn to fire.
When you are on fire, you will light the fuse of the bomb. Hit it to the end
of the room where the stone wall is located and let it explode. It may take
two bombs to destroy it.
Immediately before the end of
the episode when you have to face King Charles the 3rd, there are four
Statues. Use your Mach Speed and punch them to light them on fire. You will
catch on fire and can punch the rest. You will get the key to enter the room
to face the Boss.
In the second part of Episode
2, you will enter a room with two platforms that shoot missiles out of them.
Go into Slow Motion and kick these big missiles. They will fly out into
space and hit the space ships out there. Keep doing this until they are all
destroyed, then the door will open.
Hint:
Episode 3: Shooting faster on your ship: When you first start Episode 3 (2,000,000 Leagues Under The Sea),
you will start moving. Press R1 for Mach Speed and press X to
shoot much faster.
Hint:
Episode 3: Kill Harrier Jet faster: When you go through everything in 2,000,000 Leagues Under The Sea
you will face a jet. Drop bombs on its roof and deflect the missiles back at
the jet to kill it faster.
Hint:
Episode 4: When in part two of Episode 4 (The Viewtiful Escape), you will
have to slow down time and hit some gears to stop them from moving. After
that, there will be a straight away and enemies will pop up. One will
contain a pink juice (infinite VFX power for a period of time). Some enemies
will pop out. Start attacking them in slow motion. When a target comes on
them, kick them. All the other enemies will get targets on them. Every time
you hit one of them, you will get an extra 100 Viewtiful points.
Hint:
Episode 5: Destroy the tank: When you encounter the tank at the start of the episode, your
punches and kicks will not do much damage (not even in Slow Motion or Mach
Speed). When it fires a large bullet at you, go into Slow Motion and punch
the bullet back at the tank. It will not destroy it, but it will do damage
to it.
Hint:
Episode 6: On Episode 6 (The Magnificent 5), all of the Bosses (except
Alastor) get cloned. You must fight all of them in one episode, and you only
get one intermission. Most of them have more health than the last time you
fought them. Even after this, you must fight another new Boss. His name is
The Inferno Lord Fire Leo. Luckily the intermission is just before him. He
is very difficult to defeat . Look out for his attacks: Physical Contact: 2
hearts, Charging Leo: 3 hearts, Fireball: 2 hearts, Spinning Attack: 1
heart, Falling Meteorite: 2 hearts.
Hint:
Episode 7: When Episode 7 starts, there are three switches. You must make
all the lights on each of these switches light up. A normal jump and Zoom In
down kick will not work. There are some robot enemies that are like
platforms. Jump onto them then jump off onto the platforms. Go as high as
you can, then jump off them and do a Zoom In downward kick. When you land,
all the lights will light up and a cheese burger will glow in the middle.
After this, you will see a very short intermission sequence that shows one
of the switches being unlocked
Hint:
Episode 7: Slot machine: In part 2 of the episode, after you defeat the rose robot, you
will not get a token for the slot machine as usual. Instead, use Mach Speed
and get the V to show up then kick it. Do this until all three of the
pictures are a V.
Hint:
Some like it Red Hot, Part 2: Jump up to the chandeliers ceiling then press Circle and
jump. You will hit a switch and it will knock down the other chandeliers
within reach.
Hint:
Extra L.I.V.E.: Collect 50 film canisters to increase your VFX meter by one cell.
Hint:
Smash Caution things easily: Press Circle and jump up two times. Then, press Circle
again and while in the air, press Circle again and it should smash it
the caution things that give out electricity.
Hint:
Run faster in slow motion: While in slow motion, hold R1 (Mach Speed) and you will be
able to move faster.
Hint:
Send missiles back at enemies: Sometimes, enemies will fire missiles at you. Go into Slow Motion
and punch or kick the missiles. They will flash red, then go after the
enemies.
Hint:
Put out fire: When you are on fire (not the Mach Speed fire), hold R1
and it will go out quickly.
Hint:
Slots: Once you defeat Two-Armed-Bandit, you get to play slots. Put on
Slow Motion and punch the slots to stop each wheel. If you stop it on Vs,
you might get a Key. If you stop it on Cheeseburgers, you will get a free
life. If you stop it on V-Coins, you will get the V-Coins. If you stop it on
the Sun, you will get electrocuted.
Hint:
Cause more damage: When you are fighting normal enemies, use your slow motion power
and zoom in power at the same time. This will make your punches and kicks
more powerful.
Hint:
Slow falls: When you jump off of something and begin to fall, start punching
and kicking. This will slow down your fall.
Hint:
Bus jump: In the Episode 2, you will have to jump on a speeding bus then
jump on a ramp and over a big gap. Before you go off the ramp, hold L1
for slow motion. The bus will gain more speed and will get over the gap.
Hint:
Topless bar signs: In Episode 2, you will see some billboards for topless bars. They
have topless girls on the with black stars over the middle of their chest.
Hint:
Joe's name: At the end of Episode 5 when you have to fight the boss
(Alastor), Joe still does not know what he should call himself. Also,
Alastor does not know Joe's name yet. However, in the FMV sequence before
the fight, Alastor will read the script that tells about their plan, and the
cover page is marked "Viewtiful Joe".
Hint:
Quick Viewtifuls: Use your Mach Speed and punch anything. You will get Viewtifuls
that you can use in the store.
Hint:
VFX power effects on items: Sometimes, your Mach Speed, Slow Motion, or Zoom In power will
have effects on items. If you are in Viewtiful mode and your Beam Watch is
glowing a rainbow color, it indicates one of you VFX powers will have a
effect on an item
Hint:
Very fast attacks: To do a very fast attack, go into Zoom mode and hold R1
(Mach Speed). Then, hold Kick and you will keep spinning, doing
damage to everything that approaches. When you hold Punch, you will
start punching very fast and start moving forward.
Hint:
Fuzzy screen: When you use up all of your VFX power, you will turn back into
regular Joe. When you are regular Joe, the screen will be slightly fuzzy,
like a old movie.
Hint:
Another Silvia: When you play as Silvia, all of the FMV sequences that had Joe
and Silvia will not have Silvia, but instead have a person that looks
exactly like Silvia without glasses.
Hint:
Comments: When you die, you will hear a voice that says "Cut! Cut!
Cut!".
When you pause the game during
any episode, someone will say something.

Hint:
Special moves:
Red Hot Kick: The downward
diagonal kick is both a great leaping attack and a handy way to collect
objects in the air. Use it repeatedly on dazed enemies to keep them flying
around at ground level, damaging each other.
Air Joe: A leaping
punch-and-kick combination, the Air Joe is both handy and stylish.
Sometimes a plain old punch or kick in the air keeps you up there for too
long. The combo makes you an airborne threat instead.
Sliding: A sliding kick that
carries you across the screen, the sliding attack is a great way to link
combos. You can attack from a distance and then be in position to smack
foes again when they return to earth.
Ukemi: Attacks that knock you
off your feet do the most damage, generally, and the Ukemi move heals your
pain. As you fall backward, zoom in before you hit the ground. Your damage
will decrease and you will come up ready to fight.
VFX Turbo Charger: Arguably
the best skill your money can buy, the Turbo Charger doubles the rate at
which your VFX Meter refills, keeping you in the action longer. You will
wonder how you ever got along without it.
Viewtiful Forever: While
dodging an attack in Slow Motion, zoom in. You will strike a pose, radiate
energy, and do damage to everyone around you. It burns up a lot of JFX.
