How to Beat Ifuu in Onimusha: Way of the Sword

Ifuu looks chaotic — big sword, wind everywhere, and he spends the second half of the fight in the air. But he's got one very exploitable habit: his wind comes back at him. Deflect it instead of running from it and the whole fight opens up. This is the kill on Action, the highest difficulty you can pick on a first playthrough. The short version: deflect his gales at mid range so you can rush back in behind them, deflect his sword up close, counter his jump grab instead of eating it, and once he takes off, charge the bow and put one through his shoulders to bring him down. Take every soul before he does.
