Chapter 6, Boss Battle: Crossroads.
************************************

You go straight into this mission after completing the last one- no chance for
free roam between them. Banner wants to handle the Devil Hulk before Ross sends
any more troops, I guess. Samson still isn't sure he even believes in the Devil
Hulk's existence, but he will do whatever he must to aid his friend. Banner is
hooked up to the machine, and in a trancelike dream world, he confronts the
monster inside him. How?, you ask. The same way he's confronted all his enemies
so far.

Devil Hulk is the largest foe in the game, but taking him down isn't as hard as
it seems at first. The creature has five life bars on Easy, and except for the
special grapple moves he is damaged by all of Hulk's attacks. Critical Pain and
rapid damaging combos are your best moves- though don't bother trying to knock
him down. That's not going to happen. Weapons and projectiles are out too,
there really aren't any to use in this dream world. Instead Hulk must pound the
monster seeking to replace him right out of his mind. Devil Hulk has two
routines he uses- inside the pit in the middle of the screen and outside it.
Inside the pit he is surrounded by an impenetrable forcefield and will merrily
try to slap and grab you while you jump around dodging his blows. He can cause
rock spikes to erupt from the ground as well- be sure to stay mobile and dodge
these. To get him out of there smash all of the crystal eggs that appear around
the pit. You get green orbs from each of these and when all are gone Devil Hulk
comes out to get you. He's far more dangerous now, but at least he can be
damaged. Pound on him with all your might, jumping around constantly to avoid
his slams, grabs, and stomps. Outside the pit his grab attack will be to throw
you to the ground and sumo dive on top of you (very damaging, no counter) or
simply to toss you away (a quick Air Recovery as you fall and moving away from
him is best after this move) while inside the pit he will throw you into his
mouth and bite you until you manage to win the struggle and escape. Again, the
key to breaking a grab is rapid taps of the attack button. Keep your life up by
getting green orbs whenever possible. Remember- you are much faster than the
Devil Hulk even though he is larger, his attacks are more damaging, and he has
a lot more life. You can combo, weave, and dodge- and he can't. He doesn't
block either. Wear the Devil Hulk down and keep on it. You can Hitchhike him if
you want to, but he will grab you off quickly and do one of his super moves so
I don't recommend it. Periodically throughout the fight his ring of crystals
will reappear and Devil Hulk will stop attacking and try to go back into the
pit where he can regroup while invincible- pound on him as much as possible
before he gets there. If you are relentless and quick enough in this fight, you
will take him down.

Once you win, the Devil Hulk dies surprinsgly easily. With this threat gone
from his mind, Banner can now live in more peace than he could before.
Congratulations. Save your game.
