How do I beat The Warrior? i actually fractured my thumb in the mashing minigame!

The way I did it was to just wait at the edge for him to approach me and initiate the button mashing minigame. By beating it, you end up with him on the very edge. I then threw a few sword strikes, and initiated the minigame myself, whereupon winning, he is knocked off the edge, and victory achieved. I'm sure there are other ways to do it, but that strategy got me through the fight with him every single time I faced him... and dude check online for a strategy before you fracture a bone next time, lol

u should put your back towards the edge of the arena, then as soon as he attacks, counter it. then attack with the acrobatic attack by pushing A, then attack him with X till u begin the mini-game. This method saved me alot of time and helped to get me the finish the game in under 12 hours achievement.
