A little guide by me.
Tips:
- Always buy “Combo Style EX” it’s a literal upgrade to melee combat
- Don’t use Item Button, its slow and punishable, its better to just use potions in the menu.
- Stage 9 it’s the best for farming coins, Nappa’s location can be farmed quickly with Energy Ball
- Don’t be afraid of using the potions, most enemies will drop one.
- Spend the coins only on the permanent potions or 5000 coins characters.
- If the lag doesn’t let you play, just spam Charged EX Attack.
Personally, I got through the game with:
- basic melee attacks for Saibamen. When they are in range, they will always come up to you and fire an energy shot, so you block, then you can walk up and chain melee attacks to stun lock them to death (sometimes you melee, walk forward, melee, walk forward, etc.). The only thing you have to watch out for is where you're knocking them back.
- Typically I find it's best to level up Energy Atk because you automatically gain HP & Atk on level up but you don't gain Energy Atk. The basic Energy Atk is really good for boss fights, because it only costs 2 Energy per shot, does decent damage, the hit box is big and you get full screen range. So it's very safe.
- I found that the 1st Saibamen level (node 3 I think) was very good for coins because it's very safe & there are areas where you don't need to fight too much to collect coins. You can respawn coins when you backtrack, so you just walk into a zone, collect coins, walk out, walk back in, collect coins, etc.
