Next Level Combat Tips - Spider-Man 2 | Secret Combos, Aerial Combat, Easy Focus Gain & More!

As a fellow guide-maker, I have to say nice video! Succinct and well edited!

You can mix prowler strike with venom punch to do massive damage

Thats ur peter parker impression?! 😂😂😂😂
Ha
ha
Yeah mines worse

I always loved doing a swing kick, with the triangle follow up to throw them up, then hold X to throw them up higher, then directional slam them with both triangle and R2+L2. My go to combo for any pesky ranged enemies who ruins my flow cus i have to dodge

Bro, I've watch several videos and none have guided me as your videos have. Yours are informative, tutorial, and a guide all at once. You speak slowly when necessary to convey a message and you explain very well and clearly. I need that especially when I'm confused or don't quite understand. Thank you bro for your patience and kindness.

@Arktix awesome, as far as gameplay practice goes I am having a hard time hitting parries and I honestly didn’t realize there was a game speed setting that I could turn all the way down to 30% of the normal game speed so, I may do that and then gradually increase the game speed as I get used to parries until I’ve eventually mastered parries at the full game speed.


Seeing as I have beaten the game once already, I have to say, not learning and having the muscle memory to be able to consistently parry was a pain in the ass by the time I got to The Lizard in the sewers at about the halfway point of the campaign, I honesty thought parries were a suggestion but, they almost feel mandatory to master to be able to have an easier time with the last half of the game that is very boss heavy.

I will definitely have to take my time to master parries early on in the campaign as I started a fresh save file to improve at the combat system to prepare for new game plus in a separate save file from the 1st save which I already have a platinum in and I’m not making the same mistake I did with the 2018 games PS5 remaster where I accidentally deleted my 100% save which was annoying to say the least.

Yk having that air yank as the other shortcut could come in handy I’ll try (charge jump is the other). I just hope for the next game you can still shortcut these ones.

Been doing the parrying wrong all the time. Most games have red as non parryable attacks, so I keep dodging them 🥺

I find parrying so damn hard, like I rarely pulled them off before I put the setting on that gives you a bit more time

You can just pull enemies into the air and jump off them to throw them off roofs so the swing kick is pointless

Nice video, although I disagree with using miles most often. After you get the symbiote abilities for Peter, using Pete is wayyyyyyyyyyyyy better. Personally I use mostly aerial attacks because I just love kicking butt in the air :)

I feel like a terrible player, getting my butt kicked so many times, mostly by bosses but even some enemies are hard. I am playing on normal and also through a projector that has pretty terrible latency for gaming, so that might be why my parry window timing feels so trash.

I haven’t played this one yet but it feels like I’m gonna miss web bomb in this one

"Now, I won't show any boss fights to avoid spoilers." He says, after having already shown footage from a boss fight one and a half minutes earlier.

great video man!

Oh man! You are making spidey content now? My son loves this game and I've been just OK with it (but I haven't played very much and I like watching my son play, anyways). I think that all I need is the right guide(s) for this game, and you are just the man for the job! I predict that I'll get heavy into this game now! Thanks! :)
(quick heads up - I don't think that you've added this video to your Spider-Man2 playlist yet.)

Great info! Thanks for thr video

I want to say this constructively, these are bad tips. Anyone who has played the last 2 games (i hope you have) knows 99% of these, and i played for 2 hours and then learnt the rest. Even then, i feel you didnt specify enough, and the game specifies better. I know that this is targeted at newer players but i think they all can figure them out easily, but the webbing for focus one was pretty good but I think maybe find some lesser known ones?

great tips man
I'm definitely going to focus on more aerial combat

Finally pulled the trigger and got my PS5 (Slim SM2 Bundle) and came back to this vid. Good thing I did; I thought the abilities "cooled down" on their own like the GOW abilities, but it turns out you have to do stuff for that to happen. Enjoying the hell out of this game.
How do you like to take out brutes early on?

I have a question, how do you do the move where Spider-Man in the air hits the enemy with a hammer fist and slams them into the ground? I can not figure out how to do it at all and there is nowhere that says how to.

Why doesn’t the game tell you that Miles can become invisible?🤔

The jump off enemy is also a really simple way to spice up combos ie jump off then web slam, weapon yank or use ability. Using this, swing kick, and web throw + bounce is off ground, can lead to really nice combo strings.

I found a great trick with the Directional Yank/Slam Down and the Ricochet Web. A fully upgraded Ricochet will hit almost every enemy, and if they're near a wall, you can use the Directional Yank to web them against the surface. You can also use the Slam Down to shove them to the ground.

Save bars for healing? Yeah right give me finishers

THANK YOU.
I was growing insanely frustrated with how to to ground slam. Kept accidentally doing in occasionally and could never see why i couldn’t.
I don’t understand why they give no instruction not even list it among official moves list in the game when you go through the menu

Man I miss the A button and B button days lol. Amazing Carpal Tunnel

Is a shgame combat is better in first game

When u have to follow the drones u can just pause the game and then click skip activity 😂

Great video, definitely learned a few things. One thing I like to do is use the short cut for the charge jump and when I’m getting swarmed I use it then follow up with the ground strike from way high. Helps to build focus and helps on the mysterio side missions.

Great video!

A really powerful gadget combo is ricochet web + web grabber. When the web grabber pulls in webbed up enemies and they slam into each other near the ground they'll get get webbed to the ground for instant K/O - this combo can take out a lot of enemies for cheap. Additionally the ricochet web will web up enemies that are on the ground already, so anything that knocks enemies on their ass + ricochet web will clean house. Webbing enemies to surfaces is real strong

My brudda.. no.. pete has the better combat because he can mix and match and not to mention he does more damage on his symbiote abilites. Miles is a balance. Pete has utlity (the arms) and brute force (symbiote) you can test it yourself.

4 different colored signals says a lot about how this game has no idea what it wants to be: rinse and repeat ratchet and clank guns reskinned? character action? action rpg? topically written walking simulator? white cis male apology generator?

5 years and for combat they added spartan rage that shuts down half of the mechanics, bounce, air swap (which you could already more or less do since 2018 with inertia) and a flow killing parry for those "proper" boss fights that are as tedious and separate from the meat and potatoes of the core gameplay as all of the side content.

at least someone said fuck it, let em fly with minimal effort, because that is about all the fun i had in this debacle. with the huge caveat that there is nothing more to do with traversal than simply traverse.

I‘m actually replaying this game on ultimate and not adding points into my strength at all. I just want to keep the combos going forever. Even on the hardest difficulty this game is easy.

Spider-Man: We don't kill

Kicks a guy off a building

Wtf is this aspect ratio

I also find myself webbing up basic enemies in the air and slamming them down for an instant KO

Fact: If you use swing kick constantly with Peter in free roam it looks like the 60s Spider-Man swinging style

What yall think is the best ability combos for both characters⁉️

There’s too much shit in this game I can’t memorize this

Some tips I've learned:

- Some bosses on higher difficulties have combo strings that can end in either a blue or yellow attack. These can be borderline impossible to react to, because the blue attacks often come out so fast that you need to dodge them before the tell appears, but the yellow attacks are timed so they will hit you if you start dodging before they come out. At first, it seems like a coin flip as to whether or not you will take damage no matter what you do, but there is one solution to both problems: jumping. Jumping will move you out of the way of both yellow and blue attacks. You can even dodge in mid-air if you need a little extra hang time.

- Later in the game, both characters' L3 + R3 abilities will become vital to their combat loop, so invest in them to max them out ASAP, learn how they work, and what bonuses they give so you can maximize their usefulness. To be more specific; Miles gets a super damaging AOE explosion centered on himself, and Peter gets a powerful rage mode that makes him invincible and extremely strong for as long as it lasts.

- When maxed out, Miles L3 + R3 will also give him a full three bars of focus. This is incredibly useful, as it allows you to do huge damage, get a clutch heal, and still have enough left over for some finishers. You're going to want to use those finishers too, as they fill up a huge amount of your Mega Venom gage, allowing you to L3 + R3 again very quickly.

- Peter's Rage mode is also incredibly powerful. It doesn't give you focus, but using it automatically heals you to at least half health, and again, you're fully invincible while it's active. Peter will automatically do finishing animations on most enemies in this state, and your gage stops decreasing during these animations, so try to take advantage. When maxed, this state also makes your abilities fill super fast when it's active, and fully refills ALL your abilities when it expires, so the best way to maximize it is to use any abilities you still have available, activate the state, use any abilities that refill during the state, and then you will still end up with four full abilities when it's over.

Hi arktix, can you please make a guide video on how to take down a thunderjaw in Horizon forbidden west 🙏❤thank-you

That was dope content right there.. thank you

I always spam swing kick because it just fun to use 😂😅

Funny thing I learned about parrying, it isn’t nearly as tight as you would think

You can just mash L1 as soon as you see the spidey sense or the enemy attack indicator turn red

Really helps with the “get off me” counter attacks the bigger symbiote and shield bearers/brutes have so you can just keep wailing on them

Dribbling baddies💀
