Getting points and making the most of them is how you succeed in every Ninjala game and how you walk away with first place. You can score by hitting enemies, and you can score more points by getting a KO against them. However, the best way to score in the game is to get an IPPON, but it is a bit tricky.
There are several ways to get an IPPON during a Ninjala match . The first way is to stop an opponent. You can initiate a parry between an enemy by striking your basic attack against each other at the same time. When they do, the two will collide and start a showdown. If you can win the showdown by taking down your opponent, you will win an IPPON.
The alternative way to get an IPPON is to use your Gum Shoots or Gum Break and then KO the enemy. To do this, you need to summon a bubblegum bubble and then hit the enemy with it. Hitting them with it unites them, and then finishing them off with some basic attacks. If they hit the gum covered wall, you can receive IPPON points. You have to attack them and secure the KO when they are tied, or it will not count as IPPON.
Gum Break also grants you an IPPON. To break an opponent’s gum, you must destroy the protective bubble in front of them by hitting with a Gum Break attack. When your opponent is bound by his Gum, you can attack him freely. If you land the KO while tethered, it counts as an IPPON.
If you can reliably get IPPON during Ninjala matches , you can find yourself landing at the top of the leaderboard at the end of each game.
