Ninja Gaiden II

- Block, block, block, block. It's all about timing - blocking and then knowing when to strike. That's the main thing to know.

- Enemies can grab through block.

- In addition to blocking, moving is what keeps you alive. Jump, dodge and abuse hit'n'run tactics against large amount of enemies.

- At some point fairly early in the game you will learn Flying Swallow and Izuna Drop. Learn how to perform them consistently and you will have a MUCH easier time.
