The Pontiff is one of the first major challenges the game poses and is the brick wall that a lot of people spend hours banging into. His move set is one of the more varied examples with him being able to chain a multitude of combos that are hard to learn. A lot of his moves have very subtle start up animations and he can punish you if you aren't paying attention.

Not to mention his second phase which spawns a shade that mimics the boss's next move, forcing you to juggle to Pontiff's doing the same attack, back to back.

I like video games, writing and writing about video games. Expect sarcasm and the dry wit of a Brit. And the occasional rant of a unhappy Scot. You know... the usual.
