Waving hands wildly....look at me....look at me.
Use Directional! Moments are not fun when it takes up half your time playing. It took me exactly 40 minutes to complete all 9 of these moments. The only one that took me longer than a few tries was Semien because I hate facing Ryu.
Seager= 1 try.
Baez= 3 tries
Marte= 1 try
Use directional, hold up on the left stick and swing with power. Then when you're done in 15 minutes, don't forget to switch back.
