The first time you meet Voldo in weapon master mode you must hit him twenty times in twenty seconds. Do a ring out; even if you only have hit him less than nineteen times, you will pass.

Rankings are based on experience in edge master mode. A good level to earn fast experience is Er Rai. It is in extra chapter 2 (Cepheus). For example, 500,000 experience earns you level 77, Grand Edgemaster Of The Basilisk.

If you wait at the title screen, a demo fight will play. After that, rankings of players will appear on screen. Finally it will announce the word "Namco" and a random character will appear. They will do fight/dance demonstrations that range from Raphael's Spanish Flamingo to a spine twisting performance from Voldo. Some are shorter than others, and sometimes instead of showing the single character demos, the opening will repeat itself. Keep trying, and it will eventually appear.

As soon as the match starts hold the right side of the "over right button" on the controller and press [Y] repeatedly. Raphael will do quick strikes with his sword repeatedly. Keep doing this, even if it is blocked (it may pierce through). During weapon master mode, make enough money and buy as many weapons for Raphael as possible. You will probably get a high offense low defense or something of that sort. If you can, get one that can pierce defenses easier. With your hits being mostly piercing, you will hit your opponent almost every time.
When close to the edge, grab your opponent. He should be knocked off if you use the grab where he hits them multiple times with his sword.

Select Seung Mina and equip her ultimate weapon, the Hraesvelgr. While in battle, you can regain lots of health quickly with this weapon if you do her spinning staff attack. Whether it hits the opponent or not, you will gain health. Note: If you are not attacking, the weapon will drain your health, so be careful.
