How To Perfect Dodge in Spiderman 2
In Spider-Man 2, players are able to engage in dynamic combat by alternating between Miles and Peter, each utilizing their unique set of skills. Miles' skill tree focuses on mastering various iterations of the Venom Shock, while Peter relies on his mechanical spider limbs. The combat mechanics of Spider-Man 2 are exceptionally well-crafted, providing players with the flexibility to fight and evade in countless ways.

During missions, players will often encounter thugs on their way to the main Spider-Man boss. These thugs may lack extraordinary powers, but their overwhelming numbers can pose a threat. This challenge becomes even more daunting on higher difficulty levels. However, players have two effective methods of self-defense: Dodge and Parry.
In Spider-Man 2, players have the ability to parry and stagger enemies by timing their attacks and exploiting their vulnerable moments. Pressing the L1 button just before an enemy strikes allows players to successfully parry and leave the enemy open to damage. Timing is crucial in order to achieve maximum stagger. Another option for players is to dodge attacks. When an enemy is about to attack, a spider sense icon appears over the hero's head. If the icon is white, there is still time to dodge the attack. However, if the icon turns red, it signals that the attack is imminent and players must act quickly to avoid taking damage.
Depending on their preference, players have the option to either dodge an attack early or just before it lands. The former requires less concentration, making it a favorable choice for many. However, executing a dodge at the last possible moment unleashes a Perfect Dodge. This not only allows players to evade the incoming attack, but also enables them to shoot a web and restrain an enemy.
To execute a Perfect Dodge, players should wait for the spider sense to turn fully red and begin to emit a glowing effect, and then swiftly press the Circle button. Initially, newcomers to the Spider-Man game might face some difficulty, but with ample practice, it becomes easily achievable. However, it should be noted that if the Perfect Dodge fails, there is a higher chance of being struck by an enemy's attack. PlayStation 5 users can now enjoy playing Spider-Man 2.
