No more dull combat

Despite what I've written here before, No More Heroes' combat isn't just about mashing buttons. You can be successful doing so, sure, but there can also be some strategy in the game's combat as well.

After all, strategy is essential for the free fight, one hit K.O. missions that open up between title bouts, though it's not really all that important to the necessary fights in the game. Still, it's helpful to remember that you can move the Wiimote up or down to shift between mashing "A" to hit high or low when going up against minions with some form of mêlée weapon.

The different beam swords you can buy over the course of the game change things up, too. The latest one, the Tsubaki Mk II is like a greatsword. Travis holds it two handed, and wields it like a tree trunk. It's not the slowest (at least not yet), but it's definitely the most powerful weapon (as of yet). Because it's slow but powerful, it makes swatting through swathes of enemies much easier. No doubt it'll make reflecting projectiles a lot easier, too.
