- The fortieth episode of Boss Analysis.
Retaining your place at the top of the pile isn't easy, everyone and their boss-slaying dog wants to push you off and dethrone you. Many final bosses understand this pain all too well.
Not only have they got countless others craving the position, but they've also got the many, many players of the game who want to cut them down to size to triumph over the game. And the sad thing is, not all of them can reclaim their former glory.
Perhaps to prove how powerful the main heroes have become, some final bosses will show up later in a sequel in a diminished role. Maybe a new villain has come along that makes the old final boss look pale in comparison - in the age of progress, not everyone is able to keep up, and whatever the reason is, that's the main topic of today's Boss Analysis, as I go over my favourite "demoted final bosses". - เกม

"If he's under my control, that's a serious downgrade already!"
Golden words right there. Looking at you, Slashuur from TMNT 2 Battlenexus
Vergil: We don't do that
50:54
“The bomb rocks don’t even look tasty to me, why would you want to eat one?”
*GOTTA BE VITAMINS IN THERE SOMEWHERE*
And plenty of minerals.
I've always thought that Link's Shadow basically requiring exploiting the AI was on purpose. Like...you need the triforce of courage, and it's certainly courageous to fight yourself...but it's like a rock-paper-scissors situation. If you fight completely honorably, it demonstrates your courage...but if you take advantage of your shadow's eagerness to assault you and play very defensively, you are demonstrating wisdom...also, if you use your spells (which he can't do) to buff yourself up, you are demonstrating your power. Maybe I'm reading too deeply into a 32-year-old game...or maybe it was purposefully clever. Also...technically "Dark Link" and "Link's Shadow" aren't the same canonically.
Very cool analysis there, puts som3 good depth into the boss fight regardless of whether it was intended oe not
Ah, yes, Super Mario Land: the game where the bosses go BAA like a sheep when damaged.
I’ve seen a game where snakes go “Neigh” so that’s not so bad by comparison.
I always thought of Birdo from it.
That was the best thing about this game. You ever heard the attempt by nintendo to create voice over in Top Rank Tennis on the gameboy? It's too muffled. Damn does that game love to yell, "Fault", for everything.
Should've been called "Su-BAA Mario Land".
I found the sound effects for this one.

An interesting buff for the Death Egg Robot that wasn’t mentioned, regardless of how small it is: There’s a hard time limit now. You can eventually run out of land to stand on, but the time is incredibly generous if you’ve got a good grip on the game. You can technically survive that land lacking with Tails, but you need some tricky flying to do so.
Hydrocity is much worse. If you fail to attack Robotnik, you will drown. No exceptions.
Well, Gary must be a DQ fan because it looked like he used Zoom. Also that Jab at Johto was hilarious...
I like how when you hit Dark Link in OoT, he makes the same pose as when he dies and falls through the floor in Zelda 2. He even falls through the floor, too! Kinda surprised nobody really made the connection...
“The third boss makes me fear if I’m turning into a goldfish, because I always forget about him.” Some of the best words in TH-cam history right there.
7:40 Strange how he's killing a bunch of brainwashed citizens rather than trying to help.
Looks more like he's knocking them out to me
That’s our git!
To be fair though, those are normal mario enemies that try to kill him normally
Well Dark Link gets many promotions and demotions depending on the game,
In triforce heroes he and two others become the final DLC boss, but in four sword adventures he’s mainly a obstacle. I think Spirt tracks is the one where he can use items while you can’t.
I give the DOOM 2016 Spider Boss a Demotion rating of: -10/10!
Honestly spider mastermind was never too hard in the first place. Just spam either rockets or BFG blasts and she’ll go down. She also is in like 1 level in the original and in DOOM 2 she is almost always paired with something that makes killing her easy.
BUT! THAT! WAS-N"T! THE FINAL BOSS!
I don't know why, but I love how you added your narration in time with the music!
I guess we finally answered the age old question of "who is thisgit" It was Blue all along
28:59 I think that might be when you deal that last hit on Robotnik in this fight; When he's done for, the pistons will descend at half the speed, which in an oversight, allows players to hit him once more, which will end up making Ivo need to take 256 more hits until he can be defeated again.
Oh god.
What's the time limit for sonic 1 stages
@NFS_JBA what's the speed of pistons, and the best hits per second humanly possible?
@@Green24152 It's impossible. Let's say you can land a hit every 5 seconds (which is kind of an exaggeration actually as it takes around 7 seconds for the pistons to appear again but for the sake of simplicity let's say it's that). It would still take you around 21 minutes to kill Robotnik, which is like over twice the time limit.
@@brasilballs what if you had 5 orange foxes with you?
@NFS_JBA mod 3. PERFECTING THE AI
The being able to hit Robotnik twice must be a misunderstanding and/ or faulty memory. You may be confusing it with a glitch where you hit him twice on the final hit and the boss resets.
Well, not quite a reset - he resets to 255 hits instead of 8. (Impossible due to the 10 minute time limit)
Iainofthemeteor yeah sorry I forgot myself lol
You could, but only in the OG version. Any remake will have fixed this.
Note: since Generation' version of Sonic 1 is essentially an emulator, yes, that works there.
@@HardGuess For clarity, the glitch works the exact same way the nuclear Gandhi glitch in the original Civilization does. The game incorrectly reads a negative number as a much MUCH higher number, in this case -1 is read as 255 due to an 8 or 16 bit integer underflow. Basically the game goes "-1? . . . Uh . . . I think that's . . . 255?"
"Fireworks in his balls, even without Daisy around"
ah, I see you're a man of taste
29:45
"But would you me and female me it?"
?
*confusion* 100
"What the fuck is that?"
I often thought that whoisthisgit is actually a pseudo for a brother and his sister managing together the channel.
Great job once again guys !
@@AlexMoby I'm not totally sure about that brother and sister thing, we hear only "his voice" after all
@@AlexMoby I thought the female persona was just Lub Lub.
"If he's under my control, that's a serious downgrade already!"
Funny thing: You can actually PLAY as DIO, final boss of JJBA HFTF, where the final boss is the main protagonist Jotaro. So basically, you can control the final boss of whoever you picked before you play as them.
I mean in that game you could play as pretty much everyone in Stardust Crusaders, A.K.A Hol Horse kills the Crusaders, betrays kills DIO, and the yee-haws into the sunset, perfect ending right there
man, its rare seeing the "dont lock on" strat in the dark link fight. i swear not enough people realise this and lock-on out of habit.
What does that do?
@@curlybrace4984 Allow you to actually hit him with the Master Sword. He's broken when it comes to blocking attacks aimed straight at him, but when you _don't_ Z-target you can attack him from an angle, and his AI doesn't get it.
Here's an idea for a boss analysis: bosses you hate: *role reversal edition*
Bosses that Sully your favorite type of boss battle.
Honestly I think the emperor bulblax from 2 is only so small and braindead compared to 1 is because the newer ones aren’t fully developed yet.
Oh hey Rugal. I'm not really Surprised but aren't you dead?
Yeah, Street Fighter 1 really is that jank.
SF1 Sagat looks like Nick fury,don't you think?
With Ryu Sagat is nearly impossible, even with save-states to help. When you go for a jump kick, he hyper-uppercuts. When your far away, he spams hyper, so getting in for a kick or punch is nearly impossible. By the way, in SF 2 the AI is bullcrap and can perform special moves without charging. This is very visible with Ken, when he decides to use 20 shoryukens in a row.
The A.I. is cheaty as f*ck
And then there was Gouki/Akuma's debut, and he pretty much took your quarters like a broken vending machine.
Uhh you CAN spam shoryukens with no downtime in between . Never noticed if actual charges like flash kicks are instant though .
those first few Super Mario Land bosses...being Bowser and having a switch to drop your own bridges is one type of Boss Arena Idiocy, but having switches that downright blow you up when your opponent presses them?!
Mario Land:
King Totomesu: Sphinx Of Birabuto Kingdom
Dragonzamasu: Sea Dragon Of Muda Kingdom
Hiyoihoi: Maoi Of Easton Kingdom
Biokinton: Cloud Of Chai Kingdom
Tatanga: Alien Pilot Of The Pagosu
Other Shang Buffs from MK1 > MK2 include:
+ CAN turn into Kintaro but for a tough fatality
+ Can transform into Reptile now
+ Actually gains his own moves other than Fire Skulls
- Can't actually turn into Kano
The Emporer Bulblax is the most inconsistently sized enemy in the Pikmin series. He's massive in Pikmin 1, comes in two different sizes in Pikmin 2, when you find him as a boss and when he's found in a group, and then he's gigantic in Hey Pikmin! Also, not as related, their corpses grow significantly smaller when they die at any size in Pikmin 2.
An hour?! Man, you spoil us.
The worst final boss demotion?
Bowser during the end-credits of Bowser's Inside Story. (Spoilers)
Right after you beat the final boss, there's a little cutscene where Bowser coughs up everyone he inhaled during the events of the game, including Mario and Luigi. The Brothers were secretly helping Bowser during the entire game, with reviving him, giving him extra strength, and other things. Bowser attacks them out of frustration now learning that fact. The credits roll with a slideshow of this battle.
It takes One Koopa Shell, Hammer, and Jump attack to defeat him In that scene.
You know, the BASIC ATTACKS AND AN EARLY GAME ATTACK which, compared to his fight in Toad Town, DO BASICALLY ZERO DAMAGE. You could argue he was wounded from the Dark Bowser fight beforehand, but so should the Bros! They fought The Dark Star too! Luigi should have gotten knocked out when Bowser punched him!
So after everything...
+ Got the First Strike on Luigi
- It didn't K'O him for some reason
- Deals less damage ^
- Takes more Damage, or Has Less health
- Can't / Doesn't Dodge or Counter Attack
15/10
At least Bowser gets a nice cake at the end.
Hey, in terms of bosses getting a negative score (as in harder),
What about Kirby?
There's Masked Dedede from Super Star Ultra to Triple Deluxe,
Marx from Super Star to SSBU,
Dark Matter Swordsman from Dreamland 2 to Planet Robobot,
and Queen Sectonia from Triple Deluxe to Planet Robobot (which is really the only easier one)
Nightmare would've been complicated with Adventure to Super Kirby Clash,
but that's just my opinion.
29:06 Apparently it is possible in at least one version to hit him twice at least on the final hit. This would cause his health to under flow (or overflow? Not sure) and force you to hit him an additional 255 times. Needless to say, you wouldn't have enough time to do so.
The funny part is that Pokemon like Rhydon and Exeggutor are considered some of the most dangerous and powerful Pokemon of the gen 1 metagame. Except these ones!
Yeah, both of them have terrible movesets and AI. What a waste.
Exeggutor is one of the better Mons in Gen I. Rhydon is garbage.
@@AntoRetroGamer imagine if Rhydon had Sap Sipper to cover up the grass weakness.
That still wouldn't hide it's other glaring weaknesses.
Anto RetroGamer the rock types were considered decent if only due to resisting hyper beam.
I can’t get over cheesface, I-I really can’t.🤣
"A minus at the front would mean the boss has gotten stronger, but I doubt we'll see it."
Suddenly, a voice echoes in the distance...
_Ware wa meisha nari!_
For an improvement, you could look at Grima from final boss in Fire Emblem Awakening to secret final boss in Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia. Although to be honest, the biggest rise in difficulty comes more from reaching him rather than defeating him.
I think the Emperor Bulbax from the first one was an alpha of alphas. He was definitely smarter than the rest, while the rest out here eating deadly bomb rocks like "OwO A piece of candy on the ground? It looks like the one that ripped apart my insides 5 seconds ago, but maybe this one is different?"
Fun fact about Dark Link in Zelda II: The "stab in the corner" trick doesn't actually work in the Famicom Disk System version of the game, so either someone goofed or Dark Link was dumbed down for the international/NES releases.
He was
Praise be thy name!! A new Git video makes getting through Monday more doable!
Astaroth from Ghosts N Goblins would also be an example of final boss demotion. He went from being a decent final challenge in the first game to a reoccurring mid-boss in the final level of the sequel. He was made much easier by both the improved mechanics of Ghouls n Ghosts and the fact that he now has less health.
Honestly, when I replayed Pokémon Red, I found the thing that dated it the most (not counting glitches) was the movepools. They are TERRIBLE. Most Pokémon hardly learn anything by natural level up. Most TMs are weak (Water Gun, Psywave) or outright useless (Teleport, Whirlwind AND Roar in a game where they were useless in Trainer battles, and most wild battles too). And the types were severely unbalanced: about half of the moves are normal type, types like Ghost and Bug had NO strong moves to work with, and Dragon only has ONE move, and it has set damage of 40 so it’s isn’t true Stab or even that strong.
Gen 2 did a lot to fix the move pool so that all types had at least some decent attacking moves.
This stuff in particular is why I dislike Gen 1 praise so much. Practically every coming gen starting with 2 can be argued to be the best and most "Pokemon", all surpassing Gen 1. But gamefreak seems to think that what the fans want is more praise towards that buggy mess. Imagine if the Street Fighter devs constantly showered praise onto SF1 because "nostalgia"
While Gen II is a big improvement, it deeserves some slack, due to being the original series. It was never going to perfect, especially when the formula can be tweaked over time. Game Freak didn't originally see the series going past Gen II.
Anto RetroGamer Yeah, you can only hate the first game in a series so much because, well, the series wouldn’t exist without it. I like Gen 1, but I can’t really rank it with the others because all future generations were just better, so it’s in a special place because it’s the first. Also the glitches are the best thing ever. That’s the main reason I ever go back to Gen 1.
Now all the Gen 1 PANDERING is annoying. Like, it deserves some attention, but there are other gens people.
So many truths, fellow Pokefans!
There was one thing that went unmentioned with the Emporer Bulblax: The weak spot on its eyeballs. In 2, with the Emporer's smaller size, the eyestalks are much more accessible, and having a purple pikmin crash on the eyestalk will stun the Emporer for an even easier kill. This however, is extremely tricky to pull off.
55:00
Ok, that was some delicious... bloody... thing.
I'm a simple man. I see git uploads a boss analysis, I click. I see it has my boi, Tatanga on the thumbnail? I click faster.
Didnt watch this channel for ages, still amazing. Super mario land 2 still has 1 of the most adorable overworlds
I propose Sandman from the original on arcades to Super Punch-out
@@fiftyskoopaklub2982 Yes, I talk of the Snes one
Then comes the Wii Punch out, try fighting him on normal and title defense
Jorge Maximun **inhales**
PIZZA CAKE
Mario's Helicopter reminds me of Item C in Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle
Awesome. Love the vids. Appreciate em
Emperor Bulbax's theme sounds pretty similar to the Ultimate Koopa theme from Super Mario 64.
Wired thing with the dark link thing is well you can't Crouch in the corner to kill him anymore you can do that on the actual boss of the water temple to kill it in seconds.
Was the entirety of the Water Temple a meta-commentary on the early years of the series?
Like how you named Gary, "thisgit", I know it's your own name but it perfectly suits him.
Shang Tsung, still a badass after all these years. But crazy in 11, his movie form / and old man version are customizable.
Super Mario Land, that game was fun. But those bosses are something else
Pokemon never could forget those rival battles
SF the legendary 4. Seriously it's crazy how they are just part of the roster now. But have some what of a deeper reason for being there.
Sonic, Robotnik. The battle that never ends
Sonic 1 oh God.. that was intense
Sonic 2. 😶Never could forget that battle either
Mania = sweet irony
Zelda. Dark Link. Toughest battle ever
Always wondered if he would ever be a final boss in current LoZ entries. Last Zelda game I played was Skyward Sword.
Ocarina of Time. Fun fun fun
Pikmin. That boss yikes. I felt for those lil creatures. But dang they do their best.
Oh my God there is a recipe?! 🤣
Doom. Oh hi there spider tank
3:37 Trust me, you'll start seeing negative numbers if you ever talk about Vergil.
Whoisthisgit Has the BEST Boss Videos EVER
Great Type of Content To watch While on Break
What job give you an hour break?
Fantastic vid
Shang Tsung gained back his title of final boss in MK11 aftermath.
Johto boy? You say that like you’re in any position to, Mr. 1/4 of a champion.
I paused the video around the 20 minute or so mark, saying, "Let me go get a soda. Video's almost done anyway". Cue the video track coming up to show there are over 55 minute of video.
"YEEESSS!!!"
Git, in one video where you answered your subscribers questions (it was the 2nd one I believe) you said that one of your dreams is to make your own game. My questions are:
1. What kind of genre would it be? Would it be a plattformer or a RPG or something not from the above?
2. Which Engine would you use?
3. How long would you make the game?
4. Would you do it alone or would you make the game with friends or someone like that?
I would be happy to see your answers to my questions
1. Platformer with RPG elements.
2. Don't know.
3. About 30 hours at least.
4. My ideas would probably require a huge team.
I may as well provide my own answers to that survey.
1) Real Time Tactics mixed with some fighting and shooting mechanics while in first person view
2) Don't know.
3) I'm thinking in the neighborhood of 5-8 hours.
4) I have a lot of ideas, hence I would need proper support to help me out in the first place.
@@whoisthisgit 30 hours? Are speed runners a joke to you?!
5:40 The only Boss in Mario I‘ve seen where you don‘t have to move to beat him
Good as always !
Regarding the Spider Mastermind:
its placements in Doom 2 are *FAR, FAR* worse than in Doom 1.
The first mastermind on UV is under a crusher, which just takes 1 button press to kill it.
The second one appears with 5 Arachnotrons, which it fights and loses 99% of the time.
The one in map 20 fights a Cyber-Demon and loses nearly every time.
The last 2 Spider Demons also appear in a swarm of Arachnotrons, along with *TWO INVULNERABILITY POWER-UPS IN PLAIN SIGHT*
I rest my case, it got nerfed a whole lot by bad placement alone.
Could you do a boss analysis on extremely difficult bosses in really easy games?
Example: General Mayhem from Snoopy vs. The Red Baron
Or... Mega Maytooth from Starfy
21:34 Nice use of the Scratch laugh...
Yep, it’s actually a bit of a running gag on this channel, since Sullivan actually has the same voice actor as Scratch.
Did not know that...
Emperor Bulblax deserved a 10/10. Just the fact there's an exploit where you throw purple pikmin on his head while he's underground, comes up, shimmies a bit, then loses 85% of his health before even being able to attack is laughable. You basically one-cycle him before he can even attack. Compared to Pikmin 1, he's an utter joke.
I would say that The Spider Mastermind gets a 1/10 demotion since it's no longer the final boss (in Doom 2 that is)
44:19
The Quaggled Mireclops from Pikmin 3 would count for the Top 10 Worst Tongues In Gaming.
Hitting like. Now to watch the video, thanks Git!
Blue lost his Raticate after you killed it on the SS Anne (provided that the theory is true), so I thought I'd fill his wounds with acid by using my lv. 74 Raticate to destroy his team. I wonder why I made that Raticate so OP, but it was well worth it so I could see a giant rat destroy the dreams of many that stood in my way… and accidentally kill Ho-oh, not knowing that legendaries follow a nuzlocke rule.
It didn't die Blue just got rid of it
@@july7498 Okay, then let me rephrase that. I used the Raticate to show Blue the power that he could've had, but refused to put in the effort to get such power. Course, I used the duplication glitch to get an unlimited amount of Rare Candies (and Suicune), effectively showing that I didn't possess such patience either. I was going with the theory that his Raticate didn't live after the fight on the SS Anne. It very well may be that Blue simply stopped using his Raticate, but I'm one who sees the dark side of stuff like this (unfortunately).
@@Wings_Of_Nightfall So you're edgy?
@@july7498 Yeah, can't deny that. I think of it as seeing past what they are viewed as and find the darkness that lies within the"hero's" heart. It's partially why I'm not too into Kirby or Mario, since I believe that if it wasn't to Nintendo, they'd become heartless villains that need to be defeated.
@@krimsonkatt Nintendo has done so many things to show that the heroes aren't corrupt, and I get it. Kirby's just a child, so it's natural to see him strive to be a hero to the inhabitants of Popstar. Mario's just in it because Peach can't seem to keep herself safe from an overweight ox-turtle hybrid, and Phoenix Wright… eh, I'm not into that. I don't want to think of myself Besides, I think Halloween is getting to me right now. I don't watch Matpat, but it's really for the best, mainly so I don't see everything as some twisted secret that nobody sees. Nearly went there once, it was not fun, I'll tell you that.
I remember when I first fought the Death Egg Robot in Sonic Mania, I thought you had to keep running away from him. It took a few game overs before I realized you're supposed to actually fight him, and that I wasn't just not putting enough spring in my jump to reach the end platform.
Actually, lots of RPGs have the ability to teleport as a PC power. Fly basically does that in Pokémon. (Okay, there's actually the Teleport move, too, but really, that isn't even a tenth as versatile.)
29:04 ive done it in the sonic mania version actually, it must have carried over to your memories of sonic 1
I think it should be noted that Tatanga is in a smaller vessel in 6 Golden Coins.
7:00
Thats cuz the gameboy has a vert low sprite limit, the number of balls onscreen is so big the balls coming from the right can not show till another disapears
Ironic about the sagat matchup is that usually sagat is portrayed as annoying due to him spamming tiger shot.
You should have added Shao Kahn's taunt "It's official, you suck." or "How Pathetic"
What about Pokémon sun and moon? Spoiler alert:
After beating the game and exploring the islands, you will eventually run into both blue and red! You can choose who to fight, but only one trainer. Sadly, I chose red instead, so I can’t tell you how blue team works. I never even played the first games anyway, so yeah. I can tell you that red has the same team since gen 2, and he is just as silent.
The secret to Water Temple Dark Link is to alternate slash directions. Vertical to horizontal and keep swapping each time you attack. That "confuses" him, and Dark Link will usually do the wrong slash on the 3rd hit before he gets aggressive, and then the 4th hit once he starts attacking on his own. The problem is you need good timing, as too many frames between your attacks will reset his attack counter, and he'll keep fighting correctly to block your attacks. Lock on to take advantage of vertical strikes being neutral, and tap as slightly as possible for horizontal slashes. This way you're less likely to stab and get interrupted, and you won't turn away from your target.
Deathless emperor bulblax strategy in pikmin 1: throw a bomb rock out there and call it back just as it's about to get eaten. Then, once the bulblax is stunned, throw your red pikmin onto him but not too many otherwise you may miss the timing for your whistle. Call them back immmediately when the bulblax gets up, flee to the grassy area outside of the arena, then simply repeat. With patience you should be done before the day ends, assuming you started the day with all the puzzles solved and went straight to him.
Deathless emperor bulblax strategy in pikmin 2: spam purples. Even 20 will be enough. Maybe even throw some reds in there, or hell just throw 'em all on his ass. Once he's stunned he's fucked, so have fun.
I actually had a kind of functional strategy with Dark Link in OoT
What I did was using the Hookshot, which made him roll near to me, and then I immediately attacked him with the sword while he's vulnerable
It kinda works for the first forms, but it becomes very tricky to pull off in his stronger forms
Even so, I wanted to mention it, since I actually got surprised that you didn't try that strategy (despite how odd it is)
Link: "Get over here!"
30:54
...you mean there's a pattern to it? I've been just blindly swiping at wherever I guessed he'd be for no reason at all?!
24:36 I've also been killed like that...hmm... these hitboxes are perfect 😑
There's a reason the original Spider Mastermind is called "Miss Tier F" by doomtuber decino. You can brute force her with pointblank BFG blasts (with a bit of RNG, a single blast can drop her).
In almost every 3rd party map out there, the Mastermind usually gets horribly slaughtered by infighting. Even a few angry Pinkies can kill her. Mastermind's are one of the few enemies that can infight with others of it's kind too.
You didn't even mention how you can demolish the emperor bulblax before he even finishes his "waking up" animation if you throw purples at him, with that he becomes 10/10 demotion rating imo
Finally, now I know who is this git
If you think the Emperor Bulblax is weak now, try fighting it with 20 or so purple pikmin on spicy spray.
The egg-robot has some good boss music though
A much greater demotion of Dark Link would be his appearance in Spirit Tracks: He's now hidden away at the end of a 50-floor gauntlet of enemies and bosses, and despite that (and the use of sometimes janky motion controls), he's been diminished to the point where the repeat bosses you fought getting to him were harder. Possibly something to do with him being the evil shadow of 'Toon Link' this time?
Any recurring boss will inevitably have this happen to them at some point; Count Dracula, Death, Ridley, Bowser, Shredder/Krang, M. Bison, Gilgamesh, Dr. Wily... If they kept on getting stronger every time you'd never win. Sigma probably gets it the worst, but it's justified by the plot concept that he becomes less sane every time the Maverick virus revives him from the dead.
Unless they get stronger in accordance with the heroes getting stronger and the player gaining skill, like how direct sequels that are intended for those who completed the previous games are sometimes made more difficult accordingly.
@@autobotstarscream765 True, I enjoy seeing that in sequels usually. It would be so weird though if a long-running franchise always got tougher with every new game- that would be a massive barrier to entry for new players, limiting your audience to the hardcore.
@@WhiteFangofWar Yeah, when they do that at all, it usually resets every 2-3 games.
Congrats Shang Tsung for being able to become final boss in the new games.
happy 40 episode
16:45 Ha, smell you later next time, Blue
Gen 1 Exeggutor looks like it's begging for death.
Don't forget the Death Egg Boss in Sonic 4 Episode 1. The Final Zone boss is called the Egg Pistons, since in Mania/Plus its called the Egg Pistons MKII.
I KNEW DEATH EGG ROBO WOULD BE HERE!
what about galamoth from final boss in kid dracula to optional boss in symphony of the night?
I'm actually kind of curious how King Dedede would fare on this kind of ranking. After all, even in his original final boss appearance he isn't really too tough, not even on Extra mode. How much lower would he end up in future Kirby games...?
(Spoiler: decently low. Super Star's Dedede fight goes down in a mere few seconds to the Star Spit.)
His Squeak Squad iteration is even worse, you can move in front of him at the start and keep breathing Fire/Ice, he won't be able to do anything.
The hardest version in my opinion is king d mind from kirby clash dx, and even then, you have always 3 buddies with you to fight him
Talk about the Waterwraith
Also you could use the momentum from jumping on tatanga and zero gravity to basically combo 3 jumps and kill him in no time
Tatanga in the thumbnail means Super Mario Land wooo
fun fact in oot's water temple you can tell when shadow link spawns when your reflection dissapears
and second fun fact you can face the water temple before the fire temple AND can face the spirit temple before the shadow temple(you can use the longshot to get past the quicksand in the desert)
yes this does mean yo can fight shadow link without the hammer in regular gameplay and this fact i may bumb his rating down to 1.75 for the fact people can encounter him without the hammer biggorons sword and dins fire
35:20 well, youre fighting yourself, and, if you, playing as well as you can as the player,
what can you expect when, all of a sudden, all of it is thrown against you in an epic battle to end all battles? its a really neat idea, and i think, yeah its a fight to respect.
