Fighting Style
Shima's style is called "Boxing", though it is actually a variant of Extreme God Hand. He is level 25 in the main story and level 45 in Premium Adventure.
He is one of the most difficult bosses in the game. His punch and quickstep speed are extremely high, and on higher difficulty levels, he can break guard easier. His difficulty is made worse by the unique condition his fight entails: you must avoid damaging his head, otherwise he will do an unavoidable punch combo and immediately follow up with "Knockout Liver Blow", instantly killing Tatsuya.
Uniquely, he has access to the deathblows Swing Straight and Marshall Blow, both of which are Punch-type deathblows (No other character does this).
He has two invincible attacks:
- Several fast Quicksteps, and a random series of punches. The amount of punches Shima throws seems to get lower the more he Quicksteps.
- A dodge attack swinging hook, a few random punches, two body blows, a straight, two alternating uppercuts, and a straight.
If the last punch hits Tatsuya During Shima's first Invincible attack, he will perform the heat action "Razor Uppercut". If the last punch hits Tatsuya during Shima's second invincible attack, he will perform "Knockout Liver Blow", though this version does not kill Tatsuya instantly.
