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: Run faster in slow-motion:
When in slow motion, hold R1. You will run twice
as fast. You will not jump or hit any faster, but the enemies
will not speed up at all.



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.
