Psychic Midget

Last revised: 9 March 2007

This midget really only has 2 attacks. One, he throws boulders at you consecutively (keep running to avoid). Two, he does this lightning attack from the little platform he stands on; the bolt is vertical so the midget has to float over your head to get you (back flip, side dodge or run to avoid). So as you can see, the little guy himself isn’t much of a threat. It gets annoying only when he won’t stop running away from you and calls upon 2 thugs (non-elite/elite) each time he gets off his platform

So here’s my personal strategy:
The moment battle begins, look at Gene’s 2 o’clock direction and break the barrel you see by the wall. Pick up a wooden post, and then keep running around the perimeter of the battlefield until the midget is ready to get off the platform. Then, quickly run towards him, face kick and launch him 3 times (press /\) with the wooden post before throwing it at him.

By now he’s likely to call upon his underlings regardless if you interrupt his whistle. Roundhouse Kick-cancel him as much as you can (or face kick him away before doing it) until he goes back on his platform. If that proves difficult thanks to the elite thugs, take them out first with one unleash; it should be enough to kill one and leave the other considerably damaged. Then, refill TP using that remaining one. Just don’t forget to evade from the midget’s own attacks.

When the second thug is down and you still have some time before the midget gets off his platform, run to the end of the field (by the lift) and break the first barrel to the left to pick up a steel pipe. When the midget is vulnerable (off-platform) again, launch him 3 times with the steel pipe before throwing it, then repeat the same old strategy written above for the rest of the battle (only, you'll have no more weapons to use).

Feel free to use roulettes if you have any orbs. If you’re facing any difficulty with the (elite) thugs, spam Drunken Fist-cancels. Pwnt. =P
