Hint:
Use the Six Cannon: To use the Six Cannon in battle or anywhere else, you must have
an almost entire bar of VFX (plus the four to five mini-bars). Then, hold R2
until it gets to the last two VFX. A cannon will appear and shoot a large
beam with the switched character in it. This works well against Bosses.
Hint:
Silvia attacks: Switch to Silvia, then do Slo mo and Replay followed by Close up.
Then, punch the enemy for three times the damage.
Whenever playing as Silvia
transformed, double jump into the air and rapidly press Punch. She
will slowly fall to the ground while firing her gun. This is useful when
facing multiple enemies.
Get the Blue Cool Kick power
up. Then while in battle, use Blue Cool Kick (while in the air, hold Down,
and Kick). She will use a diagonal kick, then use Slo-mo, Replay, and
Zoom in. This will do a lot of damage. Note: This works well against Bosses.
Hint:
Defeating Dr. Cranken: To defeat Dr. Cranken easily, use Sylvia. It is possible to
defeat him in the first part with Joe, but it is much easier to use Sylvia
for the entire battle. Cranken has three main attacks. He will sprout three
tentacle things from his back, and they will have one of three things on
them: drills, magnets, or buzz-saws. They will also appear in that order.
Drills will stab at you, magnets will pull drills from the ceiling to fall
on you, and buzz-saws sweep across the floor and up in the air to hit you.
On one of the tentacles will be a yellow ball. This is your target. Go Slow
Mo and shoot it with Sylvia (or punch with Joe). After four hits, the
tentacles and Cranken's shield will break. Use this chance to run up with
Sylvia, go Slow Mo, then activate Replay, Zoom In, and Spin Kick all at
once. You can get about three of those in. Repeat this quite a few times.
When he gets to two life bars, he starts to glow red. He will use his
magnets to pull down about four of the six pieces of ceiling, raises a
column forcing you jump over it, and makes avoiding the ceiling difficult.
He will also call out three of the flying probes. After a few of those, he
will pull out a drill/buzz-saw mix. Repeat what was doenbefore and hit the
ball. After you take out his life bar, his body will explode and you will
fight his head. You will have to use Sylvia for this. He will be shooting
drills, and balls with be around his head. Hit the one that is glowing. Once
you hit it, it will start moving around his head. Use Slow Mo and shoot.
When his shield disappears, do your Slow/Zoom/Replay/Kick. Keep pressing Kick
and you will kill him easily, because his defense is nothing in that form.
Hint:
Defeating Frost Tiger: To beat Frost Tiger, you must use Joe for the entire battle.
First, make Frost Tiger freeze one of the platforms. Go under the platform,
then he will also come down. Use Mach Speed and punch one of the pillars
that are under the platform until you catch Mach Speed Fire. Then, let Frost
Tiger come to you (or vice versa) and punch him. His aura will go away and
he will jump to the nearest pillar. If the pillar that he is on is unfrozen,
he will freeze the platform. I you are in front of him, he will start
attacking you. Use Slo Mo to see his skull, because his attacks are very
fast. Keep dodging his Skull symbols until he starts spinning, then use Red
Dragon Kick (Red Hot Kick and Zoom In). He will try to get his aura back.
While he is getting that, use Red Dragon. Again. Keep doing this until he is
defeated.
Hint:
Defeating Ms. Bloody Rachel: Ms. Bloody Rachel is your big replay against the bosses Big John,
Flinty Stone, Camoleon, and Frost Tiger (in that order). There is no big
change in their attacks, but their patterns are slightly different and HP is
much higher. They are also yellow now.
Hint:
Fire Leo and Frost Tiger: Not only are Fire Leo (one of the Bosses from the original Viewtiful
Joe) and Frost Tiger brothers and look alike, but they fight exactly the
same except that Fire Leo goes in lava to get his aura back, while Frost
Tiger grows his aura.
Hint:
Reel 4: Lighting torches: In Reel 4, there are three torch stands that need to be lit
towards the end of Scene 1. To do this, you must flare up as Joe using Mach
Speed then switch to Sylvia. By switching, you will transfer the fire to
Sylvia. Activate Replay and attack with something that will activate the
Replay action. There is another set of six not too far from there. You must
flare up as Joe, switch, and Replay/Zoom/Spin Kick to light them.
Hint:
Slo Mo saves: Use Slo Mo when enemies are about to attack you.
Hint:
Hint: Viewtiful Joe references: There are three references to the original Viewtiful Joe in the
same Act. Just before you are going to fight Alastor, he will recommend
purchasing Viewtiful Joe at your local discount store. He will also
take out a script like he did the first time and say the same exact line as
in the first game. The last one is on both sides of Alastor. There are
golden statues resembling Gran Bruce, the third boss from the first game.
