** On the other hand, Joe IS invincible during the animation, which can give you a little breather during combat, and with a VFX Turbo Charger, the invincibility lasts long enough to turn back into Viewtiful mode.

* [[Awesome but Impractical]]: [[BFG|The Six Cannon]]. Unlike the other [[Tag Team|Viewtiful Switch]] [[Combination Attack|moves]], the VFX gauge needs to be extended almost all the way up to the maximum. It also requires a good deal of [[Charged Attack|time for charging]], which leaves you vulnerable for the duration (and if you're hit, you have to start over again). And then when you ''finally'' get around to firing it, it turns out that this attack is better for [[Mooks]] crowd control than against a boss. However, use VFX Slow and [[Difficult but Awesome|you'll be rewarded with]] [[Game Breaker|a crawling blast of death that bites CHUNKS out of any boss's lifebar]].

* [[You Killed My Father|You Killed My Brother]]: Subverted with Frost Tiger. Joe and Silvia expect him to want [[Revenge]] for the death of Fire Leo in ''1'', but Frost Tiger is too concerned with having a good fight to care about such petty things. Still, the strategy guide implies that Tiger may be a mite ticked off about the death of his brother.
