Alma Awakened is easily the hardest boss I have ever faced thus far, and I think it will stay that way. She didn't take the most attempts compared to bosses in other games, but I have absolutely no consistency against her. It's an RNG f*ckfest with the flying swallow, and her fireball barrage is actual BS. Can't reliably dodge it. Interestingly, I also found the Dabi clone the easiest. Never had trouble dodging his attacks. Meanwhile, the Kitetsu clone's damage was completely broken, even with full HP upgrades for when you encounter him. I am speaking from a NGB perspective though, as I never played NGMNC.
if you want to consistently beat awakened Alma i recommend getting good alternating the direction of your roll jumps because it's the best way to dodge her projectiles, getting good at managing your space and timing to hit her with a enhance technique when she tries to charge you and abuse rank 2 inazuma to kill her adds and knock her ass down. it has a lingering hitbox that can catch her pretty consistently.
Awakened Alma is the pinnacle of NG1's bullshit, where despite your large moveset only one move "consistently" works and even then randomly the ai can just say "NO" before proceeding to hit you with a frame 1 insta kill grab
After Alma Awakened, the rest of the game was a piece of cake. She is the hardest boss in video game history. I literally quit playing the game for 4 months before going back and finally beating her. I literally jumped up and yelled Yeeeeeeessssssssss Once I beat her. I stand on that to this day bro. I only beat her once. After completing the game I never played it again.
For Alma first and second form,(flying swallow and 360T TDS),for doppelgangers best using dual katana 360T.I completed ngs+ on vita(platinum it),in 2018,without special items. Ninja gaiden sigma 2 and its coop trials is real hardcore on ps3
I would say that Fiend Murai is the most bullshit of the bosses just in that you can't attack him safely without the him parrying you in recovery. Luckily cause he's the last, and the Vigoor Emperor is so easy, you can kinda just item through the fight. However, if you were treat him as just a boss outside of the context of having endgame equipment and stats, he's definitely up there imo. I wish people would make a mod tool to design mission mode encounters ((
Just beat all the collection games, it was wild. I played NG1 ages ago on og Xbox and Sigma 2 on PS3 but I didn't own them and never got far. I think Razor's Edge was easily the worst and it had the most annoying boss (final boss sucks)
My experience with awakened alma on hard went as follows: - Good I will do a few dry attempts in order to come up with a strategy - Alma proceeds to kick me around the arena and I have no Idea how to deal with her - I use every heal/rebirth-talisman and she still has 70% health left - I land four flying swallows in a row knocking her down four times, killing her in 30 seconds What the hell is this boss?

For Dabi clone if you want an extra easier route you can spam shurikens + roll as you approach FAFO distance.
Marbus loop @7:22 , I couldnt find it on youtube. Would've made my Sig+ and NGB runs smoother.
I'm super late in replying, but glad I could help!

LFG!
Personally I find normal Alma harder than her awakened form
Alma is easy cus you can cheese her use the art of ice storm or whatever it's called and btw you can cheese her when you stun her
Found the crackhead.
Alma is easy cus you can cheese her if you can down her then use art of ice or how is it called
Sigma is cheap weak and trash
people have said that about it every year since it came out lol
