how can I defeat him, I just die all the time please help

Keep rolling and keep blocking, but do not block for a long period of time because he will just grab you, also instead of doing powerful combos do fast weak ones. There is also some health in a chest in top top left-hand corner of the room.

thanks but how do I block?

The left trigger.

Hey Doffy. It is wise to read the booklet before play. I have nothing against you its just that if you don't you know very little of what Ryu is capable of. So read! :yes: :bow: ;) :ein:

oki thanks for the tip

I just kept jumping around and hitting him with a stong attack from the air.

Yes, run to the wall, let him approch you. Run up the wall when he's within range then come down with a Y button attack, downward thrust. I think what they want to do with this first boss is to get the gamer familiar with being patient, and coming up with an effective stategy.
