Mighty No. 9 E3 2015 demo details (highway and prison levels)
– E3 demo has a stage set on a rainy highway at night
– Futuristic semis and hover cars are in the level
– Use Beck’s horizontal dash to zip between cars that act as sanctuary above the insta-kill road below
– Dash move is unlimited but requires deliberate use
– Stage boss Mighty No. 7 occasionally hops in to slice apart a car your standing on
– Use the dash to dodge enemies and zip into them to take them out
– Some enemies drop defense-boosting shields and power-ups
– These increase attack power
– Combo system in the game
– Highway section ends with a face-off against Mighty No. 7, named Brandish
– Brandish spins across the floor, performs leap attacks with reasonable dodge windows, and frequently opens himself up to attack
– Doing enough damage to Brandish causes him to glow pink, prompting players to dash into him to deal a huge amount of damage
– The battle almost falls apart when Brandish begins slashing across the screen in broad strokes, telegraphing his attacks with brief pink lines
– Another stage features Call
– Call controls like Beck
– Call’s prison level requires her to be a bit stealthier
– She can stun enemies with a weak, slow blaster and use a shield to deflect incoming enemy attacks.
– Enemy robots project yellow vision cones that blink red if Call is discovered
– Huge sentry robots guard more open areas, firing out a big bladed boomerang at Call when they spot her
