====== MGRR - Any% - NG+ - R06 ======
{{youtube>wc8pjIOt5zQ?}}

Shortest mission in the entire game. Sam can pose a couple of issues with Pincer timings, and to be more precise, with Dodge Cancels, that can easily turn this fight into a slogfest.

====== R-06 "Route" ======
  * This fight has little to no downtime, so be quick on executing attacks
  * After landing two CP2 hits, Sam can potentially try to cut some rocks for fun
  * If, by any case, Sam will charge through these rocks around, the game can crash with a very high chance,
  * so before manipping Sam for the 2nd/3rd time, make him go into a proper direction

The fight itself has two potential patterns:
  * If Sam will do a short taunt (one hand), after landing a CP2 you have to immediately perform a Doubleslide
  * If Sam will do a long taunt (two hands), after landing a CP2 you have to perform 2 Dodges that have to be blocked by Sam
  * Finally, in case you’ve forgotten, all CP2’s have two hits inside -> Sam has to be hit with the latter.

  * Cancel P1 with Dash to the side
  * CP2 with 2nd Swing (no Ripper Mode needed)

  * CP1
  * CP2
  * Blade mode to continue fast
  * Skyhigh (forward → forward → light attack)

==== Normal Difficulty  ====
[[https://youtu.be/zoWDU4ZPPQc|Jestream Sam NG+ Normal Side by Side examples]]

Start the same regardless of taunt:
  * CP1 then CP2

  * if his taunt breaks, follow up with a P3
  * jump -> cancel into CP2
  * Let go of CP2 when Sam begins sliding towards you
  * Dodge, then break his dash attack with a double slide
  * Lightningstrikes (forward -> forward -> heavy) can lead Sam into starting the final QTE

  * if he stops his taunt he either does 6 light attacks -> dodge, double slide into Sam to interrupt
  * if he stops his taunt and does one heavy attack -> continue with a P3 and do the first slash, then jump.
  * aftwards: set up a CP2 and hit him with the right timing, he will be below 10% health for the QTE initiation

==== Hard Difficulty ====
  * Dodge + CP2
  * (Taunt option) Doubleslide / 2x Dodge
  * Dodge + CP2

If Sam is still on the ground, dodge into him, then proceed with the rest of the cycle.
  * Doubleslide => P1 => CP2
  * QTE

==== Very Hard Difficulty ====
[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2QSD9pXhQ0|Simple Method to grind Sam down on Very Hard]]

Start as usual:
  * Set up CP2 with Ripper mode and slash Sam with the 2nd Swing of the Pincers
  * then go into CP3 and have the first attack miss, the 2nd land and then ideally full damage on the third attack
  * Sam should be around 56% health roughly
  * follow up with two double slides, the first one will miss, the 2nd double slide will stun Sam
  * do a CP2 with RM, 2nd Swing only to grind Sam down past the 30% health mark
  * repeat the double slide for stunning Sam and CP2 attack chain
  * once Sam's health is below 10%, approach (Lightning strike or just running over to Sam) as  he does his backwards jump
  * start QTE and cut his hand

  * Pincer 2 (Ripper Mode)
  * Blade Mode Cancel
  * Dodge backwards to keep a distance to Sam
  * then go into Charged Pincer 2
  * with the distance done correctly, you should only hit Sam with the 2nd Swing of the Charged Pincer 2
  * right after go into Charged Pincer 3, first slash should break Sam's defense, slash 2 and 3 should do damage
  * Do a Sky High to juggle Sam in the air until his health is below 30%
  * once that health limit is reached, go back into a Charged Pincer 2 -> both swings, first to break defense, second to do damage
  * finish with attacks or follow up to get into QTE

==== Revengeance Difficulty ====
Thanks to Revengeance difficulty mechanics, this fight can be beaten the fastest utilizing perfect parries to do massive damage at once.

[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KER4hGvSkc|IL example by Zefie]]

If Sam does his wide arms taunt:
  * Start with a CP1, then a CP2
  * parry Sam's attacks, the fourth slash if parried perfect, will give him enough damage to lower Sam's health below 10%


====== R06 Key Points ======
  * Learn Sam’s intricacies and play around the attacks to figure out the best way you can consistently kill Sam, no matter the attacks or distance
  * If you have troubles distancing yourself from Sam (to prevent armour memes), do a dodge to the side/backwards
  * Fight always goes the same way, so if you have any troubles with the fight, the chances are, you’re missing some important part of the equation.
