** Red-Hot Kick, full stop. You might be surprised that, for an homage to the [[Kamen Rider|Rider Kick]], it's not that powerful -- not so fast bucko. Use Slow-Mo and perform the Red-Hot Kick, then activate VFX Zoom. It turns Joe's attack from a simple diving kick into a ''spinning drill kick as he's covered by flames in the shape of a dragon head''.

* [[That One Attack]]: Several, with ''anything'' Fire Leo throws at you (potential [[One
* [[That One Boss]]: DAMN YOU FIRE LEO! It's made worse by the [[Boss Rush]] beforehand. You have to fight all ''five'' of the previous bosses back-to-back, and you can't save in-between.
** Just regular Fire Leo? Try Fire Leo on Ultra-V mode when he uses his spinning attack. With no skull markers to tell you whether he's going to attack high or low, you have to go by audio cues with only subtle differences between them.
