DL-Story-01 Jetstream Sam vs Senator No Damage boss fight - Part 1 (Hard difficulty)

This is Part 1 (first checkpoint) for the DL-Story-01 DLC for Metal Gear Rising Revengence for the Jetstream Sam versus Senator Armstrong boss fight. Taking no damage on Hard or above difficulty will get you the "You're Hired" trophy. See my follow-up video for Part 2 of the boss fight after the checkpoint. After the checkpoint saves, you may want to back out of the game into the XMB to do a back up of your save file. This first part of the boss fight is 'easy' compared to part 2. Nevertheless, it is still tricky since the Senator has a wide variety of moves and you need to recognize the cues when he is about to pull them off and either block or dodge them. He uses the same moves as in the main story mode, but seems more aggressive. I did not use the Taunt (up d-pad) in this first part, since I wanted to be able to block without taking damage. If you taunt him, he goes red and blocking will drain some life. After you get him down to 50% health, a cutscene ensues and he throws some helicopters at you. After Zandatsu'ing them, the game saves your progress with a checkpoint and the second part of the boss fight begins.
