Tales of Symphonia Regal Solo: Kratos 2 [No Items/Mania/No Damage]

Re-match with Kratos! I find this fight to be a bit more fun than the first one.
Game Modifications:
-Modified the party
-Used Artes Sphere mod
Strategy:
The general strategy is the exact same as Kratos 1, he just has some different artes now. Unlike Kratos 1 he has access to Judgment, Super Lightning Blade, Demon Spear, Demon Fang, Eruption, and Double Demon Fang while losing Grave and Light Spear. Kratos 2 is normally an easier character to solo than Kratos 1 due to reduced stagger resistance and more moves which means less chance for Fierce Demon Fang, but I found Kratos 2's moveset to be slightly more difficult for Regal. Since Regal doesn't care about Fierce Demon Fang; the most threatening artes in Kratos 2's kit becomes -Demon Fang, Double Demon Fang, and Eruption. Projectile attacks are just kind of annoying to deal with and create a bit more pressure while Eruption is a bit harder to dodge than Grave due to its wide AOE. Additionally, Kratos can teleport behind me and attack which is actually quite difficult to read unless I'm looking for it (he pauses for a bit before teleporting). Either way though, it's not too big of a deal. I just wanted to share my thoughts on Kratos 1 vs. 2 from a Regal solo perspective :p
In case you need a refresher on my Regal strat for Kratos; it's basically just wait for a two arte chain and then punish Kratos after he uses his second arte. If Kratos only uses one arte, it'll be hard to have enough time to punish. If Kratos does one arte, I should just jump over him and wait for a two arte chain or aim an Eagle Rage to hit his back and stagger him (although this is risky if he happens to use Fierce Demon Fang)
BGM:

That crescent moon to jump over Thunder Blade was so smooth!

[@HorangiTiger]

Thanks! I always like to show off unique dodges like that if I can :)

[@Sonnance]

Lol, those dodges. Gotten comfortable with his hitboxes, huh?
For real though, nice spacing on Shining Bind, and that Thunder Blade dodge was sweet!

[@HorangiTiger]

I think Kratos may actually be the Tales boss I've fought the most in my life, I'm quite familiar with him at this point haha. Glad everyone seems to like the Thunder Blade dodge, it's one of my favorite things to do to dodge it while staying aggressive!

[@Kevassa]

The ending made it look like you stomped on him like a Goomba lol

[@HorangiTiger]

Kratos may as well be a goomba to Regal. Regal has such an easy time with Kratos compared to literally any other character haha.

Hey, casadoalfredo here! Started using my personal account this past month and was missing your videos. Now I understand the obvious, I wasn't subscribed to your channel here LOL
I don't like KH, so I'll wait until you start a new gameplay so I can keep up since I now work at home and have my own schedule.
Btw, nice video, as always!

[@HorangiTiger]

Hi, I play on PC and I don't believe there's a way to fight against another player.

@@HorangiTiger Do you have an explicit video for installing the HD Pack? Because the base game doesn't look great with the Steam version's graphics...
