I realize I'm a hopeless scrub, but I thought I would ask around here just in case there's something I'm missing!
I've been enjoying story mode for a while now. It's been a touch of a challenge, but I've been enjoying that, and trying my best to improve.
Then I got to Velvet.
She absolutely shuts me down at every turn. I can't even get close to her. She dodges my ropes, snipes me out of the air, overhead crushes me the instant I block low, and sweeps me if I block high. Like, instantly, it feels like. It doesn't even feel like a read, it just feels like I get destroyed.
I've tried over and over and often I can't even touch her. Once or twice I manage to actually win the first round, but I have a sliver of health left, and then I have to fight her while at a handicap with regard to my health AND the winds knocking me around.
I've gone into the options and reduced the difficulty to the lowest setting, but it doesn't seem to impact her AI at all. In fact, after setting it to the lowest setting, I'll get crushed by Velvet, return to the menu, and suddenly it's set back up where it was before I modified the difficulty.
Is there any way for a pathetic loser like me to carry forward in story mode? Or am I just wasting my time?
