Some tips, air juggling early on before you get some upgrades and even after is super good, helps avoid attacks from the ground. X into Y into B into Y is an easy nice combo. Square-triangle-circle-triangle if youre using a PS controller. Shuriken in general while jumping around is super useful for canceling movement if enemies making them easier to attack. Snap Forward X (or forward square) and hitting x a few more times while holding down forward is a really good attack with heavy movement. Holding down Y with yellow essence around will one shit most enemies besides tougher ones in first charge level (blue) and the 2nd charge level will unleash a flurry of attacks on an enemy you hit that gives you invulnerable during the attacks. Oh and if youre looking for more in depth combat tutorial JayTB123 hss a great playlist of combos and skills to make you hella good
A thing to note with this game's difficulty modes is that they don't just increase enemy health and damage like most other games do, they quite heavily remix every encounter and actually start introducing new enemy types that are completely unseen on lower modes. If you went back and played the first level on Normal, you'd see that it's a bit different from Hard. By the time you get to Master Ninja almost all of the enemies from Normal are replaced with new ones and/or tougher variants.
oh cool another new ninja gaiden player, thanks for checking out the series they fuckin rule, one of the most innovative, creative, and breathtaking action games ever made here's a couple of pointers to help you out -holding down Y for an extended period of time results results in ryu charging up a devastating ultimate technique attack UTs are your BnB, your best offensive and defensive tool, your best money printer, and your best friend, but it can seem a bit difficult to optimize them at first -but charging aborbs essence (the yellow and blue pickups) for a much faster charge rate, and holding Y the instant you land on the ground instantly starts the charge -every string is very committal, the only three things that can cancel them are shurikens, the block button, and ninpo and even then for every game not named NG3 Razor's Edge only the dragon sword can cancel from shurikens for two good use cases of these, there's a fiend that also uses the dragon sword a bit later on please please PLEASE loop square square triangle shuriken on him, it's the safest way to deal with him and you need to scrounge and save up as many resources as possible and there's the ghostfish, vigorian flails work the best against them because blocking resets the player's string and you can p much chain an immense amount of blows with this tactic -abuse wall running and wind path (goomba stomp) wall running up and then helm splitter is very safe in NGS and a reliable tactic for clearing out rooms wind path allows the player to stun and reposition, allowing players to get out of a tough situation and to start an offensive, it is a mainstay in any master ninja's toolkit -please do not try to play neutral or footsies in any of these games this series doesn't play fair and the devs expect you to be just as underhanded, a good rule of thumb is to die slower than the enemies (don't worry about getting hit, damage is expected and the damage system mostly doing HP% instead of just a flat value means that you can take a lot more damage than you think) -sometimes you just don't have the resources to continue past a brutal fight don't worry, I recommend just going back a save and getting back there with more resources -murai is easy if you create some distance, he will front roll and that's a very safe and exploitable opening -these games are very ambitious and very janky there are some high highs and low lows, trust me when I say the low lows are worth struggling to push past them even when they seem like actual torture I'm still rather new to the series (my only master ninja difficulty clear is on 3 Razors Edge), but I hope this will help I also recommend checking out Magenta Horizon, which is a Ninja Gaiden fangame in everything but name and it's amazing
Quick tips. You can absorb essence on the ground while doing your charge move or "ultimate attack" (UT for short). 1 orb will bring you to first charge instantly and 2 orbs or more will bring you to your full charge. You can skip the wind up animation by holding heavy as soon as you land from jumping. Absorbing essence will not give you any karma (spending money), but if you kill an enemy with an essence charged attack, you get a larger amount dropped from the enemy's you kill. Use your kunai more. Especially on de-limbed enemies and ranged enemies, that's just a general rule we all forget until you get punished for it lol. If you are like me when I started playing, stop holding the directional stick when your fighting. Your attacks are based on proximity not what direction you are pushing in most of the time. Other than moving around and repositioning, your directional should be used for the nessicary combos. It takes a bit to get used too. All weapons are viable. The Dragon sword is the most versitle with a free 4rth level upgrade 3/4 through the story.
If you have an Xbox One or Xbox Series X you can play the original Ninja Gaiden Black, it's the best version. You can only start on normal difficulty and unlock the higher difficulties by beating the game. And also you can unlock easy difficulty called "ninja dog" .😂
Learn shadow step (jumping of enemies heads) square and x at the same time if using ps controller. Guard all of the time. In the air on the ground whenever learn when to guard. And learn camera control. Change ya camera control to like R1 or something. Absolute game changer. Learn on landing ultimates. (Hitting the ground and dragging ninpo to ryu for an instant super) And last of all keep your combos super simple square, triangle, triangle. Or just square, square, triangle are ya best friends and do not rely on jumping around a lot or flying swallow. Flying swallow has massive recovery frames and most shit will block it on hard plus and you will get punished massively. best of luck hope this helps
Took me a long time to discover this, but there’s actually a way to make the final boss a piece of cake. All you need is one attack: Forward+Heavy Attack (held down) It’s important you hold the button down just long enough, so Ryu doesn’t jump in the air. It’ll make you take a step forward and do a heavy slash. Once you have that down, run away from the boss. If you do that, he’ll somersault towards you. If you time that attack to hit him right as he comes out of the somersault, it will land every time. Then just get away before he can retaliate, rinse, and repeat.
17:36 I got nearly 2 decades of playing this game and I've never seen a death like that before 😭😭😭😭 I'm guessing the explosion clipped you before you hopped on the opponents back (pause) but still never seen it happen ☠️
Im sure youve probably figured it out, but the yellow essence, hold Y and you can perform an Ultimate technique UT. Even when you jump and right before you land hold Y and will immediately absorb any essence and you can release it for the UT. Once you kill someone with UT, they will release a larger essence,worth much more in earnings for muramusa shop in next level where you purchase items or upgrade weapons. Blue and red essence is a more powerful UT. Great vid, glad you got into NG, awesome game series.
That game on master ninja is one of the hardest games I've completed (I wish I could play the black version but is only available on Xbox, that's the one I played as a child an obviously I wasn't able to complete the master ninja difficulty at that age)
Well played sir, I think if you soem some combos rather than spamming the same two moves it will not onky make you feel like you're him but also make the game a lot more fun
I just beat this game yesterday, lemme tell ya man. This game was so badass but it was a pain in the ass 😭 i somehow play 2 and 3 but never the first lmao
3:52 speaking of anime. have you watch solo leveling? i love that anime so much. and i have a video game concept for solo leveling, where is a souls game y'know and you fight bosses in the gates and shii like that you get the point
I haven’t watched the anime, but I did read the manwha when it was originally releasing until it ending. I’m not gonna lie the art was fire and the fights was hype but i can’t remember nun about the story 💀 As for the game it would be so fire to have a manwha leveling system that’s an actual game!
Bro said he’s wants the hard game…. Ends up playing the training wheels version😂😂😂 trust me brother… you don’t wanna anything to do with black. Love the editing got a new fan, wish you didnt spoil some of your deaths tho. As a fan of the game we look for new players to see how they die and start raging. Kinda blue balls us with the spoiler 🙏❤️✝️
@@thesunshine1 NGB and NGS are pretty much the same when it comes to difficulty. I prefer NGB tho for the cutscenes and lack of Rachel chapters. NGS removed a lot of puzzles from the og game tho but it’s not a deal breaker. Just makes the game feel more desolate. If you’re looking for the better experience I’d say play Black but that might be just because I’m an Xbox guy. Just pick up whichever one you can get your hands on and play :) Ninja gaiden 2 vs Ninja gaiden 2 sigma is a whole other story tho 😬😬
That's your problem You're pissing away all your time playing games like fortnite generic carbon copy made to waste time away....games should be skill takes time and devotion to become good.... Only 10% of games nowadays have it (souls games/Ninja gaiden ect)

Of all of the games to start playing on hard, you pick Ninja Gaiden.
Lmao I've been playing NG since 2007 and seeing new people struggling is funny af 😂
A thing to note with this game's difficulty modes is that they don't just increase enemy health and damage like most other games do, they quite heavily remix every encounter and actually start introducing new enemy types that are completely unseen on lower modes.

oh cool another new ninja gaiden player, thanks for checking out the series they fuckin rule, one of the most innovative, creative, and breathtaking action games ever made
here's a couple of pointers to help you out
-holding down Y for an extended period of time results results in ryu charging up a devastating ultimate technique attack
UTs are your BnB, your best offensive and defensive tool, your best money printer, and your best friend, but it can seem a bit difficult to optimize them at first
-but charging aborbs essence (the yellow and blue pickups) for a much faster charge rate, and holding Y the instant you land on the ground instantly starts the charge
-every string is very committal, the only three things that can cancel them are shurikens, the block button, and ninpo
and even then for every game not named NG3 Razor's Edge only the dragon sword can cancel from shurikens
for two good use cases of these, there's a fiend that also uses the dragon sword a bit later on
please please PLEASE loop square square triangle shuriken on him, it's the safest way to deal with him and you need to scrounge and save up as many resources as possible
and there's the ghostfish, vigorian flails work the best against them because blocking resets the player's string and you can p much chain an immense amount of blows with this tactic
-abuse wall running and wind path (goomba stomp)
wall running up and then helm splitter is very safe in NGS and a reliable tactic for clearing out rooms
wind path allows the player to stun and reposition, allowing players to get out of a tough situation and to start an offensive, it is a mainstay in any master ninja's toolkit
-please do not try to play neutral or footsies in any of these games
this series doesn't play fair and the devs expect you to be just as underhanded, a good rule of thumb is to die slower than the enemies (don't worry about getting hit, damage is expected and the damage system mostly doing HP% instead of just a flat value means that you can take a lot more damage than you think)
-sometimes you just don't have the resources to continue past a brutal fight
don't worry, I recommend just going back a save and getting back there with more resources
-murai is easy
if you create some distance, he will front roll and that's a very safe and exploitable opening
-these games are very ambitious and very janky
there are some high highs and low lows, trust me when I say the low lows are worth struggling to push past them even when they seem like actual torture
I'm still rather new to the series (my only master ninja difficulty clear is on 3 Razors Edge), but I hope this will help
I also recommend checking out Magenta Horizon, which is a Ninja Gaiden fangame in everything but name and it's amazing

Nah Sigma has more improvements compared to Black (except the vita port)
Skill issue
I know right how you good multiplayer but can’t handle action game
Worst mistake starting on hard.
Then u go, no tutorial....

Now imagine if he played NG Black istead of Sigma, nah bro. I'm waiting for Alma's chapter.
That game on master ninja is one of the hardest games I've completed (I wish I could play the black version but is only available on Xbox, that's the one I played as a child an obviously I wasn't able to complete the master ninja difficulty at that age)
I'm asking for it. This was fun.
It's Sigma, so it's the easiest version already.
Well played sir, I think if you soem some combos rather than spamming the same two moves it will not onky make you feel like you're him but also make the game a lot more fun
I just beat this game yesterday, lemme tell ya man. This game was so badass but it was a pain in the ass 😭 i somehow play 2 and 3 but never the first lmao
Game over😂😂😂😂
Practice man and use block button and use Ultimate technics pressing Y or triangle this is the key of this game
This is the easy version of Ninja Gaiden Black bro, what happened?
learners curve, I understand it now 🙂↕️
NGB and Sigma are basically identical difficulty wise.
I mean he plays for the first time and dont know anything about the game. So its not that bad i would say for the first run on hard
@@Auvisomenot even close, blacks normal is sigmas hard mode
@ Sigma has more difficulty options. Black you can only play normal or lower at the start.

I hope they remake shinobi
Liked and Subbed for part two
Ninja gaiden Sigma hard mode versión is Easy in ninja gaiden black versión Haha
You should pick up Ninja Gaiden black before you get too far into sigma. Its generally considered better and more difficult.
Which one it's more difficult? Sigma or black
