So I finally fought the brute for the first time and this guy is challenging for the wrong reasons. He has hundreds of hit points, a leap attack that covers a screen length, and several attacks that are quick enough to punish even your fastest punch. What confuses me is that this guy is way more tanky than the heavily armored male cops yet his attacks are the quickest in the game with minimal telegraphing. I found the most success by giving a quick jab before repossioning by dodging. When he blocks I follow with the kick combo as it makes him stay still and he doesn't get knocked down, increasing the window to deal damage. That said every time a brute shows up I kiss goodbye to my knuckles and shoes because fighting this bozo eats up 33-50% of their durability per encounter. At least the damage he deals is miniscule.
Also did anyone figure out the new name for the bukkake component? I spent a good half an hour trying to find it to no avail.
