try doing this
My tips for beating 2 swordsmen standing right next to each other:
a) Use shield to get close then break a knee of one, then back away and then kill the other.
b) use a running shield bash to knock over one, then kill the other
c) use a jumping attack to kill one of them.
d) Throw a spear at them
e) kick a head at them to knock one over and kill the other
this is an awesome game but i suggest that you get 1 exp and cash for returning the flag. it would help those people that JUST cant get the flag other flag back to their base. and may i also suggest some sort of side task missions like killing people or getting a certain number of flags for another good way to make money and or cash instead of awards/medals.
good game 5/5... for people who had a hard time with this game try to increase time and multiply coins first along with jump. and always stay under the boss until hes ready to fall. and don't shoot the boos all at once when hes down one bullet is all that is needed so fully upgrade you guys and you'll only need 4 bullets for the boss. hope i helped C:
