She is. I played through Kasumi's "story" thinking "Ok, this is tough, but at least there's not been anything that's made me want to throw my controller out of this second floor window that I'm currently sat next to". Then the boss girl turned up. After finally managing to beat her I thought "Well, time trial should be more relaxing after her". Then she turns up again.

It doesn't help that I haven't figured out the parry grab move yet.
Gavvie wrote:Honestly, the best thing to do with her is just try and stay away and spam punches and kicks when you can. Nothing too fancy, just button bash.
That's exactly how I managed to beat her in the end. Stay back, look for an opening then mash Y.

But surely once you've unlocked the Spartan there's no need to play through Story mode any more?
