Whats funny is that when Armstrong offers the handshake, he offers it with his right hand. The only way Sam could’ve properly shaken it was with his right hand, which was cut off
While this dlc is overall very good, my favorite part will always be the cutscene with Armstrong and Monsoon. The fact that it's pretty much the only time we see an interaction between Armstrong and a Wind, Armstrong directly asking Monsoon his advice like he was genuinely interested, or the fact that they're having a calm and friendly philosophical discussion while having opposite ideologies, make it one of my favorite moments in the game.
sam only lost to armstrong because he wasn't given the rundown on nanomachines and memes like raiden was, had sam gotten that lecture he would have cut armstrong into mince meat before his nanos have time to harden, i honestly believe sam could kick every other mgr bosses ass if he felt like it
KEYBLADE MASTER BRIAN nah, he just didn't see that Armstrong can use his chopped arm as weapon. because he didn't fully understand what kind of power armstrong has. if there is ever a second fight, Sam will surely win.
Raiden only won from Armstrong by a mix of his strength, Sam's murasama and his persistent will. He wore down his nanomachines enough to be able to parry armstrong's attack and stun him by stabbing his abdomen - Sam tired a lot faster and didn't see that Armstrong would recover that quick to surprise Sam with a quick stab. If Sam had insane cybernetics like Raiden he would surely take down Armstrong in a matter of minutes.
@@microwavedav he didnt wear down his nanomachines... Raiden noticed they all grouped together in a spot of trauma on the body. If you notice through the fight, Raiden would have the nanoed portion of Armstrong held on to and fuck up the rest of his body
43:11 That just cracks me up. Sam: "Pulls out sword" Let's dance. in game with sword "gogogadgetconcealedrocketlauncher" He just instantly goes from badass sword to firing a rocket launcher at Armstrong who is casually walking towards him.
kills two guys? shrugs it off destroys wolfy? whoops sorry MG ray? pretends to be raiden and slices it in half lose your arm to a crazy guy and forced to help him? laugh sam takes everything in fucking stride
the whole game is filled with amazing, hilarious metaphors. I like how Armstrong extends his arm saying "welcome aboard!", pretending Sam was willing to work for him, while Sam has no say in the matter, hence his defeated, ruined arm that cannot even accept that handshake hahaha it really emphasises Armstrong's hypocrisy in the whole story and makes you think back to the ending of the original game
Well that’s just Armstrong’s philosophy. If you clash, if your ideals put you at odds, you fight. The one who can make his ideals realised has the right of it, the loser falls or falls in line.
@@archivist_13 ‘The loser falls.’ Death is a maybe depending how determined the winner is at finishing the job. Armstrong probably could have killed Raiden earlier during their fight before Wolf intervened, but he wanted to try and get him to take up his cause after thrashing him first. If he wanted him dead from the start he wouldn’t have stopped for a smoke and a hug.
I remember playing through the first time begging for him to toughen up and provide a challenge because I didn't wanna kill him too fast. He bulked up and I was happy as hell.
xzenitramx666 grey fox didnt have any nanomachines neither did sam and grey fox' exoskeleton went down to the skeletal level as his body got blown apart by a landmine. sam didnt have that kind of exoskeleton, his was a more simple one simply pushing all of his physical abilities
Pretty sure Gray Fox had Nanos. If you listen to Naomis Dialogue in MGS1 and MGS4, Frank Jaegers Body was crippled, and thats why they couldn't remove the Exoskeleton from his body. Thats why he snapped sometimes, and slaughtered those Genom Soldiers in MGS1.
This actually explained quite a lot from Sam's part and I like to think of it as the prolouge. But Raiden pretty much walked the same path Sam did yet he kept fighting on no matter the obstacles and even did that which Sam couldn't do.....finished it. It sorta goes to show they both defeated Armstrong and World Marshall, Sam struck the first blow then Raiden delivered the final one. With that sword.
somebody may have said this already, but the whole death of Sam is supposed to be a shocking twist, they pay so much attention to the blood because in the Japanese version cyborgs have blue/white blood, can't tell, I'm colorblind, and the red blood he has is meant to let you know "Fuck. He's that good and he's still human?" and Raiden was still visibly stressed and tired by fighting him, let that sink in
If Rising ever has a re-release, they SHOULD engrave that off the Japanese version. Just black blood instead of white and it'd be cool. Though... It's Konami who makes these games, so who am I kidding about a MGRR re-release?

@@CrystallizedBlackSkull He was more of a Ronin before joining Desperado, he as he said "wandered delivering justice to those who deserved it" under desperado he was a Samurai since he had someone to serve.
Now I know why Sam spared Raiden back on that Train in Africa. He wanted him to finish his mission to take down Armstrong. Someone Worthy to inherit his HF Murasama Sword. It’s like in the Lyrics of the songs “The Only Thing I Know Real” & “It Has To Be This Way”. By awaking his inner Demon Jack The Ripper by embracing everything Solidus Snake taught him in Liberia
Not really. In the playback that BladeWolf shows, Sam shows that he was intrigued by Raiden and wanted him to fight with all his might, in a form of competition to see who is the strongest, in a concept that winning makes history, so Armstrong thinks too with It Has to Be This Way talking about it. If Sam really wanted to put an end to Armstrong, he wouldn't continue with the "international incident" if Sam was the winner, which he says on the playback. By the way, just watch his speech in Denver, which is very similar to what Armstrong and Monsoon (on Sam's DLC) say, showing that Sam has fully adhered to their goal.
Sam didn't leave Muramasa to Raiden, he left it to BladeWolf, no matter what the end. BladeWolf just gave it to Raiden, like he said, because he came and helped him be free, which was all he wanted. Ironic or not, if Mistral and Armstrong had treated him like a free mind, he would never have given Muramasa to Raiden.
Raiden is his reflection of "who he was." If whatever happens next, If Sam lives, he lives losing his identity, If Raiden wins, he fights for what he believes in
I've never understood how Sam functions so similarly to Raiden. He can activate zandatsu, and he absorbs electrolytes from other cyborgs, even though only Raiden can do such a thing.
The thing that differentiated Sam And Raiden's use of the Murosama is that Sam focused more on a burst Heavy/powerful attack to cut down his opponent in one blow , also Sam can pick up on small details like he did here when he saw Armstrongs nanomites took time to reach his entire body and the time he seen Raiden relying on his eyegear dying there first fight, but the thing about Raiden instead of doing one powerful blow, he focuses on a flurry of attacks on a single point so the blade will weaken the molecular bonds and Raiden learns when loses or the fight is drawn out.
It could be taken as symbolic of Sam's predicament; he can't refuse the job. He doesn't want to help Armstrong, but he'll die if he refuses. He can't really do anything, much like how he can't really do anything when Armstrong offers his handshake.
Sam and Armstrong both lost an arm. When Armstrong got his back, he offered Sam up with the sam arm. The issue was Sam’s was still, you know, completely fucked
The game does that on purpose! When you initiate the kill, it skips to the right part of the music to give you an epic moment. (At least, it does for Raiden, I think it does here too?)
Honestly playing the Sam DLC was more fun than the actual game. They should make a spin -off game entirely based on Sam. I would be so down for that. He was just so much more fun to play as, both his character and his moveset.
Remember when you guys watch Raiden Vs Vamp and then said "They should Make a spin off game entirely based on Raiden" and thats where Metal gear Rising Revengeance was made
Fact: Sam's dash is actually silent compared to how ninjas have stealth. Ninja run on the other hand isn't silent and this is why I got stuck on R0-08 because I thought I could run past them with the desperado body (50% camo to desperado units).
Looks like Armstrong's nanomachine ability costs millions of dollars in machines. Oh well if you have enough money to turn everyone into a cyborg then why not.
@@dirtkiller23 Well, accounting for inflation, 100 Billion is a fraction of the legacy. More like over a trillion dollars now. Freaking nanomachines, son.
How to bring Sam back: Someone finds a dead guy in the desert, takes him to a hospital where they revive him, but brain damage for being dead for half a day takes him on a quest to regain his memory & find out who he is.
I just realized something messed up. So Sam's got little to no cyborg enhancements. Also all his counters are kicks. So is he a good kicker since he's Brazillian. Soccer?
+Rayquaza Lv.100 I think it's capoeira. It focuses on kicks and is from Brazil, he also uses judo throws when disarmed. Sam barely had any augments, only ones were his right arm after the fight with Senator and his exoskeleton suit like Solidus had in MGS2 that only enchanced his abilities.
+Rayquaza Lv.100 his lore said he is actually japanese. Born in brazil, with a south american name, but he descends from a samurai family that exists since the 16th century japan. They fled for brazil after WW2 or something, and his father founded a new samurai school there. So yeah, probably... jujitsu with some cultural stuff from brazil... well you know, brazilian jujitsu xD It was invented in early 20th century, so maybe the game is telling us his father did or something like that
+Enidehalas his dad was the owner of a dojo teaching brazilian kenjutsu swords for those not versed in japanese and the satsujinken path for that matter/murdering sword they had a variation of a real style in japan thats over 400 years old and then one day a student killed his dad sam went to train around the world came back to brazil to kill the student and left brazil for good that the gist of it he know some judo mostly jujitsu and several other martial arts learned while travelling
Yeah! It's a REAL SHAME Sam allowed himself 2b led astray by that monster Armstrong! He could've joined Jack in his fight 2 stop Desperado & Armstrong! They would've been UNSTOPPABLE together! Instead he chose 2 make life hell 4 Jack throughout the whole game! Then, when that didn't work, he decided on a POINTLESS fight 2 the death against Jack close 2 the end of the game 2 find out who's TRULY RIGHT!😔 That was the saddest part of the ENTIRE game! He chose 2 blow his chance at redemption 4 himself! REAL SMART Sam!
Well the magnetic edge lord is implied to be hanging out nearby while they fought, so ita possible he just threw some helicopters into the fight to help Armstrong
@@tiff-0028 I find it inconsistent that a character can pick up a giant ass robot and throw it like it's made of cardboard yet has trouble with smaller enemies like Gecko or even bosses.
When ya actually think about it, Jetstream Sam is basically what happens when the "Platinum Main Protagonist" legit "fails" their game. He had the attitude, the mode of transportation, an ideal, a Platinum Mechanic, Iconic Weapon and even that strange heart to heart talk that sometimes happens. But Sam fought the "final boss" of "his game" and lost. It's an interesting concept, especially for a Platinum Stylish Action game.
I think the fight with Raiden should’ve convinced him to fight Armstrong. I think it would’ve made more sense for Sam and Raiden to fight Armstrong together- he’s just too strong for either of them individually.
@@dogestranding5047 Sam genuinely believes in Armstrong’s cause tho.He doesn’t just join because he got his arm cut off. Armstrong claims he’ll build a world where everyone can fight for themselves instead of being oppressed by the war machine. Imo Sam does have doubts tho, which is why he leaves it up to a duel between him and Raiden. He wants to know if he made the right choice by seeing whose conviction is stronger.
If the person using the Katana in Bayonetta 3 really is another universe Bayonetta. Then I wanna see if they do the same but with her being wih the side of the lumen
48:16 Notice that the Nanomachines, son, harden in response to Physical Trauma. Armstrong lends his hand to shake Sam (of course Sam can't, but that's out of the point), and it is still hardened, wich means, his whole right pectoral to his hand was still hurting when he pieced it back together You can say he can harden on command, but the head canon that Sam's cut still hurts him for a while is better to me.
This whole gameplay is like of Sam was actually just playing cause of how cocky he acted and stuff, taunting at last second, fucking sick gameplay dude
If they ever make a sequel to this one, for crying out loud FIX the camera developers :/ wow so many deaths caused by it I can tell this mustve taken a lot of work to get through right anyway, love the way this guy just pisses enemies off before killing them :)
Fun deep cut, but it's not nearly as precise as that big moment. You have all the time between attacks to throw out another parry and aren't punished for mashing the parry input, so it really is just a matter of tapping forward and mashing light attack without caring much for timing.
@@GameIsMyOxygen disagree,parrying is not "super easy". It takes some time to learn parrying multiple attacks,remember others are not like you who considers it easy
Even though Armstrong knows muramasa can hurt him, and raiden kills sam, Armstrong still underestimate raiden WITH muramasa. And in this fight, Armstrong goes full power, even though it's just an interview for sam. Also, the song played in Armstrong boss fight is "collective consciousness control", not "it has to be this way"
Shit! It took me all those years to learn that Jetstream Sam is Brazilian! And his other name is "Minuano", from my country's region! Love this game even more now :D
Another interesting thing about his character is that his sword, Murasama, was actually the Muramasa in Japanese, but his family mistook the name. Apparently the devs included this because they love moments where small things are misunderstood about Japanese culture by others.
@@milkwater1204 @Milkwater his sword name is a mix between Muramasa and Murasame. Don't spread missinformation, the developers were japanese as well as Sam's ancestors, they wouldn't "missunderstand Japanese culture" because it's their own.
@@shodore You seem to have misunderstood my point. The sword is misnamed because the Rodriguez family misinterpreted it in the lore. The devs added this because they find instances of cultural misunderstanding amusing.
This video game has a lot of philosophy and the perspective of Sam in this case it’s very interesting, it’s a shame that he and Raiden couldn’t get along and that in the end he died it would have been cool that a whole video game was done with him as a protagonist, really cool your tutorial my friend you play as a master, Saludos desde México
I know that Jetstream Sam is based on Heishiro Mitsurugi from Soul Calibur, it's also interesting to note that Sam's Murasama resembles Mitsurugi's Oniyukiyasu from Soul Calibur 4 for the fact that they are katanas that have red blades on them.
To this day, this game and it's DLC are amazing, I wish they do more with this type of metal gear in the future, even if its just a simple remaster with a few extras like outfits or bonus footage
-Make outfits apply to cutscenes -be able to play Raiden’s campaign as Sam or Wolfie -add a boss fight AGAINST Raiden when playing as Sam in mission 6, or Wolfie in mission 1 -If we can really stretch the list, add Armstrong and the Winds as playable characters -Rose codec calls
I know it'll never happen, but I would love to play as Armstrong in some sort of prequel or DLC - although there would be significantly less slicing and dicing which was one of the selling points of the game. Imagine being a buff, nanomachine man and hitting a MG Ray with the spinning throw he did with Sam at 45:25 or using his energy volcano ground burst(?) move to clear out a bunch of fodder cyborgs.

45:39 I like how Armstrong actually felt some dmg from Sams Cut even though the Nanomachines harden him.
I think he is acting
I've never understood how Sam functions so similarly to Raiden. He can activate zandatsu, and he absorbs electrolytes from other cyborgs, even though only Raiden can do such a thing.
John Perry Sam is only human. he just uses an armor suit.
YoungPhenix Yes I know that. I'm just wondering how he does this shit if he isn't a cyborg.
Jale The Village Troublemaker Now that you that you mention it, this is put in a whole new perspective. This changes everything!!
So he was a human in the beginning...and he became a cyborg like Raiden after?
Kenshi Takahashi No, he just got a fancy arm replacement.
The thing that differentiated Sam And Raiden's use of the Murosama is that Sam focused more on a burst Heavy/powerful attack to cut down his opponent in one blow , also Sam can pick up on small details like he did here when he saw Armstrongs nanomites took time to reach his entire body and the time he seen Raiden relying on his eyegear dying there first fight, but the thing about Raiden instead of doing one powerful blow, he focuses on a flurry of attacks on a single point so the blade will weaken the molecular bonds and Raiden learns when loses or the fight is drawn out.
I love how nearly the entirety of Armstrong and Monsoon’s opening conversation is just Armstrong calling Johnson a giant weeb.
Johnson💀
Mf said Johnson
45:37 was probably the most bad ass shot ever
I know I'm a year late, but the way the music syncs with it is honestly amazing

@@sofiathefirst6981 Finally someone else understands the true artistry at work in this shot.
48:17
Armstrong offers to shake Sam's incapacitated arm. I feel as if there's a point there, besides them laughing about it.
It could be taken as symbolic of Sam's predicament; he can't refuse the job. He doesn't want to help Armstrong, but he'll die if he refuses. He can't really do anything, much like how he can't really do anything when Armstrong offers his handshake.
Wesley Macek good point
It was cut off the size of Armstrong’s arm vs sams shoulder yea it’s off
What the f***
Sam and Armstrong both lost an arm. When Armstrong got his back, he offered Sam up with the sam arm. The issue was Sam’s was still, you know, completely fucked
17:30
Okay is noone going to appreciate the timing of that last hit?
Just realizing it now...oh my god it's perfectly in tune.
The game does that on purpose! When you initiate the kill, it skips to the right part of the music to give you an epic moment. (At least, it does for Raiden, I think it does here too?)
@@TwilightFlower9 No, in Sam's DLC game doesn't do that in this fight.
The perfect sync🤤
I can literally hear Boris’ lines during that section.
34:22 and that beautiful spin to win.

Honestly playing the Sam DLC was more fun than the actual game. They should make a spin -off game entirely based on Sam. I would be so down for that. He was just so much more fun to play as, both his character and his moveset.
Why does everyone like Sam so much? He's lame.
@Space Vatnik I like how that insult has been changed when the original definition applied exactly to those who now use it.

@@Reaper_77-x4w sams blade is the stand anubis?
When he's more of a ninja than Raiden.
Fact: Sam's dash is actually silent compared to how ninjas have stealth. Ninja run on the other hand isn't silent and this is why I got stuck on R0-08 because I thought I could run past them with the desperado body (50% camo to desperado units).
Looks like Armstrong's nanomachine ability costs millions of dollars in machines. Oh well if you have enough money to turn everyone into a cyborg then why not.
Norin pone Nah, cost billions of strippers man ;)
Sextillions
Just to have nanomachins in his body and especially to be invincible
One hundred billion dollars.

@@dirtkiller23 Well, accounting for inflation, 100 Billion is a fraction of the legacy. More like over a trillion dollars now.

How to bring Sam back:
Someone finds a dead guy in the desert, takes him to a hospital where they revive him, but brain damage for being dead for half a day takes him on a quest to regain his memory & find out who he is.
Better than Metal Gear Survive.... am i right?

havent you learned use NANOMACHINES SON
So... Memories broken?
I just realized something messed up. So Sam's got little to no cyborg enhancements. Also all his counters are kicks. So is he a good kicker since he's Brazillian. Soccer?
+Rayquaza Lv.100
I think it's capoeira. It focuses on kicks and is from Brazil, he also uses judo throws when disarmed. Sam barely had any augments, only ones were his right arm after the fight with Senator and his exoskeleton suit like Solidus had in MGS2 that only enchanced his abilities.
tru
+Rayquaza Lv.100 his lore said he is actually japanese. Born in brazil, with a south american name, but he descends from a samurai family that exists since the 16th century japan. They fled for brazil after WW2 or something, and his father founded a new samurai school there. So yeah, probably... jujitsu with some cultural stuff from brazil... well you know, brazilian jujitsu xD It was invented in early 20th century, so maybe the game is telling us his father did or something like that
+Enidehalas his dad was the owner of a dojo teaching brazilian kenjutsu swords for those not versed in japanese and the satsujinken path for that matter/murdering sword they had a variation of a real style in japan thats over 400 years old and then one day a student killed his dad sam went to train around the world came back to brazil to kill the student and left brazil for good that the gist of it he know some judo mostly jujitsu and several other martial arts learned while travelling
+Enidehalas That wouldn't make much sense, though. His last name is brazilian, not japanese.

From what I gather the music is dynamic. Every video I've seen of this fight the music swells exactly the same when Sam goes for the finisher.
I love jetstream sam, best character out of the entire game
Yeah! It's a REAL SHAME Sam allowed himself 2b led astray by that monster Armstrong! He could've joined Jack in his fight 2 stop Desperado & Armstrong! They would've been UNSTOPPABLE together! Instead he chose 2 make life hell 4 Jack throughout the whole game! Then, when that didn't work, he decided on a POINTLESS fight 2 the death against Jack close 2 the end of the game 2 find out who's TRULY RIGHT!😔 That was the saddest part of the ENTIRE game! He chose 2 blow his chance at redemption 4 himself! REAL SMART Sam!

When ya actually think about it, Jetstream Sam is basically what happens when the "Platinum Main Protagonist" legit "fails" their game. He had the attitude, the mode of transportation, an ideal, a Platinum Mechanic, Iconic Weapon and even that strange heart to heart talk that sometimes happens. But Sam fought the "final boss" of "his game" and lost. It's an interesting concept, especially for a Platinum Stylish Action game.
I think the fight with Raiden should’ve convinced him to fight Armstrong. I think it would’ve made more sense for Sam and Raiden to fight Armstrong together- he’s just too strong for either of them individually.
@@dogestranding5047 Sam genuinely believes in Armstrong’s cause tho.He doesn’t just join because he got his arm cut off. Armstrong claims he’ll build a world where everyone can fight for themselves instead of being oppressed by the war machine. Imo Sam does have doubts tho, which is why he leaves it up to a duel between him and Raiden. He wants to know if he made the right choice by seeing whose conviction is stronger.
If the person using the Katana in Bayonetta 3 really is another universe Bayonetta. Then I wanna see if they do the same but with her being wih the side of the lumen
@@dogestranding5047 "just too strong" how tf does raiden win at the end then
48:16 Notice that the Nanomachines, son, harden in response to Physical Trauma.
Armstrong lends his hand to shake Sam (of course Sam can't, but that's out of the point), and it is still hardened, wich means, his whole right pectoral to his hand was still hurting when he pieced it back together
You can say he can harden on command, but the head canon that Sam's cut still hurts him for a while is better to me.
When you reeeeeeeally think about it... Sam should have gone for the head
I hate u
This whole gameplay is like of Sam was actually just playing cause of how cocky he acted and stuff, taunting at last second, fucking sick gameplay dude
Don't fuck with THIS Brazilian!

Holy hell that music syncing is amazing
With his sword out, Sam has one of the greatest walking animations I've ever laid eyes upon.
You made Blade Wolf fight look so trivial! Holy crap! o.o
If they ever make a sequel to this one, for crying out loud FIX the camera developers :/ wow so many deaths caused by it
I can tell this mustve taken a lot of work to get through right
anyway, love the way this guy just pisses enemies off before killing them :)
princeofhalcyon that's been my biggest problem is that camera
9:40 dude did you just daigo parried that enemy's attack?!
What you just have seen?
Fun deep cut, but it's not nearly as precise as that big moment. You have all the time between attacks to throw out another parry and aren't punished for mashing the parry input, so it really is just a matter of tapping forward and mashing light attack without caring much for timing.
He was playing sekiro before sekiro
You either played the whole game without parry, or never played the game. Cause parrying is super easy in this game.
@@GameIsMyOxygen disagree,parrying is not "super easy". It takes some time to learn parrying multiple attacks,remember others are not like you who considers it easy
The fact that Raiden uses the same Voiceline as Sam the time he has the fight with Armstrong (using the same sword) is a pretty neat touch
I love this playthrough. Always picks me when I'm having a shitty day.
Even though Armstrong knows muramasa can hurt him, and raiden kills sam, Armstrong still underestimate raiden WITH muramasa. And in this fight, Armstrong goes full power, even though it's just an interview for sam.
Also, the song played in Armstrong boss fight is "collective consciousness control", not "it has to be this way"
Actually it's called collective consciousness. No control
(And before you say it I know I'm a massive 🤡 and a🤓)
"I told you, our outfit is a living thing -- with offspring, with influence. Our memes."
EM grenade actually deals damage. You see in this VR mission 4 that he takes 0,1% damage hahaha sometimes.
This DLC is so good at showing us why sam is with them. Sam owes armstrong his life for armstrong defeating him without killing him.

Friend: wait what the fu-
Me: BRAZILIAN.MAGIC.
Shit! It took me all those years to learn that Jetstream Sam is Brazilian! And his other name is "Minuano", from my country's region! Love this game even more now :D
Another interesting thing about his character is that his sword, Murasama, was actually the Muramasa in Japanese, but his family mistook the name. Apparently the devs included this because they love moments where small things are misunderstood about Japanese culture by others.
Milkwater interesting
@@milkwater1204 @Milkwater his sword name is a mix between Muramasa and Murasame. Don't spread missinformation, the developers were japanese as well as Sam's ancestors, they wouldn't "missunderstand Japanese culture" because it's their own.
@@shodore You seem to have misunderstood my point. The sword is misnamed because the Rodriguez family misinterpreted it in the lore. The devs added this because they find instances of cultural misunderstanding amusing.
Really love the concept / design of this game.
This video game has a lot of philosophy and the perspective of Sam in this case it’s very interesting, it’s a shame that he and Raiden couldn’t get along and that in the end he died it would have been cool that a whole video game was done with him as a protagonist, really cool your tutorial my friend you play as a master, Saludos desde México
17:14 Even the bot was waiting for the "RULES OF NATURE!" part, the bot started hyping no cap
46:54 The reason why I fucking love Sam so much. Like, man, we all have a sword fighting dream lying deep down in our heart.
Getting stabbed and then laughing it off is the most Jetstream Sam kinda thing to do
If the blue bike is Sam's. Then maybe he wanted Raiden to succeed and kill him. If not, the developers just got lazy and used the same bike.
i choose to believe that raiden stole sam's bike to get out of denver
17:31 I love how that synced so well
I had problems with Wolf first time I played this game on my PC and you go and obliterate him in less than a minute, you absolute BEAST
I know that Jetstream Sam is based on Heishiro Mitsurugi from Soul Calibur, it's also interesting to note that Sam's Murasama resembles Mitsurugi's Oniyukiyasu from Soul Calibur 4 for the fact that they are katanas that have red blades on them.
Reference? He also seems to be based on platinum's other game vanquishes sam gideon
To this day, this game and it's DLC are amazing, I wish they do more with this type of metal gear in the future, even if its just a simple remaster with a few extras like outfits or bonus footage
-Make outfits apply to cutscenes
-be able to play Raiden’s campaign as Sam or Wolfie
-add a boss fight AGAINST Raiden when playing as Sam in mission 6, or Wolfie in mission 1
-If we can really stretch the list, add Armstrong and the Winds as playable characters
-Rose codec calls
36:45 Metal Gear Rising Revengeance : Strider Style
Katana zero reference
That looks good tbh
Man, I got this far in his story without knowing you could dodge
I know it'll never happen, but I would love to play as Armstrong in some sort of prequel or DLC - although there would be significantly less slicing and dicing which was one of the selling points of the game. Imagine being a buff, nanomachine man and hitting a MG Ray with the spinning throw he did with Sam at 45:25 or using his energy volcano ground burst(?) move to clear out a bunch of fodder cyborgs.
There’s a mod for it
The Zandatsu should be just Armstrong suplexing the enemy.

I don’t blame ‘em. If I make a game that’s epic and drama-inducing, I’d forget to add minor details myself. Lol
Sam's "whoops" adds to the mistakes hilarity. Almost as if Sam himself is saying that to the devs In response to their mistake.
It was a good I would say so myself
