YMMV / Black & Bruised

• Game-Breaker: An easy way to combat the story mode's Nintendo Hard difficulty? Approach your opponent, throw a few jabs/hooks, back away to avoid the counter-attack from your opponent. Repeat this process and you can beat most of the story mode...MOST or it.
• Nintendo Hard: Many people that play the game are often frustrated at the difficulty of the story mode, which not only makes you fight AI enemies that have inhuman reaction speed in a combat system where the moves have no telegraphing of any kind, you're also put at a disadvantage (such as Odiva pretending to follow Janet's aerobics class, so that Janet's the one out of breath in their fight, resulting in slower punches for the player).
