I've beaten this mother fucker out of pure spite. Against the tracking fire orbs, just sprint at about a 45 degree angle toward him, you'll get closer and dodge all the orbs. Only attack after you dodge. Some moves give two hits, some give 3. you can deflect his stomp, but I like to dodge once perpendicularly. This strat should get you to phase three. his first move will be him swinging his fire lasso shit around. jump on first kanji, stand still on second, jump on third. He'll do some regular moves before dashing out of the fire ring, and back in. Just jump after the Kanji and its free. Once fire ring is down, you get two full uses of malcontent and one half use. ~20 or so free hits total. gl bro (fuck the cheese its harder than the fight)
