A cooking battle consists of the following steps:
- Select Character/Difficulty: Choose a character to use and the difficulty to play.
- Cooking Battle: When a button icon appears, press the indicated button in time with the music.
- Taste Test: There are two taste tests in the middle of a match. If you lose a taste test, you'll also lose at least one article of clothing.
- Final Judgement: When cooking time ends, the final judgement will be made, depending on each dish's deliciousness and size. If you take the lead in both taste tests and win the match then you will receive a special after the result screen.
Cooking Battles[]
In a cooking battle, button icons will appear in time with the music. Press the indicated buttons on beat to cook well.
Icons[]
Accuracy[]
Depending on your timing, you'll earn one of four ratings for each button you press (Perfect, Great, Fine, Bad). The better your accumulated ratings, the better the food tastes.
Combo Hits[]
If you keep hitting icons, you'll achieve combo hits. Keep hitting the icons in time with the music to rack up more combo hits, but if you score a Bad on any icon, you'll reset your Combo Meter to 0. Your highest number of combo hits will affect the size of the dish.
Ninja Arts[]
By hitting icons perfectly, you can build up Ninja Art Gauge. Once the gauge is filled up, you can perform a Ninja Art by pressing L or R. You'll score higher while the Ninja Art is in effect, and more combo hits will earn you even more bonus points. But watch out; one wrong move will end the effect.
Taste Test and Judgement[]
A cooking battle is divided into three parts. When each part ends, Hanzo will judge the quality of each dish. You'll know who's ahead then, because the runner-up will get her outfit shredded. At the end of the third part, Hanzo's judgement will determine the winner.
Score Screen[]
After Hanzo's final judgement, proceed to the Score screen to view the score of the match, the high score, most combo hits, score breakdown and overall grade. Once you've seen it all, press to end the cooking battle.
