Personally, even with spirits, all of these spirits are tough as nails. I also think that you should've added Trevor C. Belmont, at one point, you got it in the bag, but next thing you know, YOULL BE TRYING TO FIGHT THE ASSIST AND THE PEOPLE WITH A FINAL SMASH.
Use a spirit with the staff equipped ability. Combine with spirits that increase shooting damage. Two well time hits at the start of the match and its over. Three if you are not lucky.
once that happened for me seeing her far slowly to her death i jumped up with joy knowing my misery with the bitch would finally end. also making sure i stayed alive before she died.also my friend had the same thing happen to him and told the same tragic yet loving tale of the plauline spirit battle
The Boss's fight is the most appropriately difficult. She was so satisfying to take down in MGS3, and it's the same thing here. Plus, the homage is my favorite in the game.
The only way I beat it spiritless was by saving that battle until I got Ganondorf. I constantly jumped to avoid poison damage and landed as many aerials as I could. Once my FS Meter was full I was able to knock her off the stage and quickly spike her with Ganondorf''s Final smash. I'm not the type to cheese battles with Kirby like a lot of people do
@@BasementSkeleton97 yeah, I can't knock em for doing it but no I fought my damnest with Link and somehow the AI killed itself took me an hour it was hell Good on you for that thought took actual balls for that lol.
7:29 I beat it by -Using an advantage primary spirit at lvl 99 that has three support slots -Using a metal killer support spirit -Using the “Health gained every K.O.” support spirit -Using a tank, like Ganon I beat this first try with this setup, and, I even ended the fight with the same amount of health I had at the start
Fun thing. I won my first battle against Ho Oh due to the AI having some kind of stroke and just walked of the arena. I was rather chocked to say the least.
Same thing happened to me when I went to fight The Boss ZSS, having summoned a Madama Butterfly for it. I psyched myself to finally beat her, only for her to SD
@ANTHONY KRAVCHISHIN can people like you leave him alone? "Oh no, stickmaster is commenting on a video! I mean, he's not offending me in anyway, but I still hate him, because he's everywhere!"
Only reason I haven't started my own Spiritless run is that I'm waiting for the 3.0 update (just in case that messes with previous strategies). Once that drops, I will for certain be recording that for my channel!
shout out to 9 volt and 18 volt, with sheriff hostile assists that take away any chances of recovering, while the galaga items kill you when your hp gets too high. It's too many things to focus on at once
@@MrSolomonGaming Could just summon her.... honestly I've acquired over 500 spirits, 20 of them Legendary before doing the story mode, all from the Spirit Board or from Summoning. Still to this day I've yet to try the story >_>
For most spirit battles where the opponent is huge, play my boy Ness. His PK Fire spam is get most CPU's stuck and confused, it's especially useful in stamina battles where you could just stand at a safe distance and watch them burn. Hope this helps anyone getting into WoL 👊😎👌
@Lalaina the Ness, Lucas and Mega Man Lover to be honest after hearing this i thought it would be tough,in the end i won first time on max difficulty ,also well played sir .
When fighting the Pauline spirit, Peach went around me when the time slow happened and since I had such a powerful spirit I side B’d and her shield got knocked making her fall into the abyss. My luck grew 3 sizes that day.
How about hardest spirit battles, EVEN with using spirits and skills? Also, 9 volts & 18 volts and Rayman drives me absolutely nuts, even with spirits and abilities.
And for arguments sake let’s assume that it does work, Lucas uses absorb and then what? That gives Charizard the perfect opportunity to use flare blitz
I spent roughly 2 and a half hours trying to defeat this spirit. In the end though, Zero Suit Samus jumped off the stage and recovered the wrong way like with what happened to you. I was so pissed off though because it felt like she had pity for me and did it on purpose. Needless to say I left that match feeling unsatisfied with a godly spirit.
Tip: With enemies like Ho-oh, or generally any other enemy with the curry breathing, you can use characters like Simon/Richter and spam Up-B. It’s not always 100% possible, but if you use Up-B on the enemy, their curry breath will take you out of free-Fall mode, meaning you can immediately use it again. If done correctly, you can spam it several times and lift them to the blast zone.
My advice: With Ho-oh, hope that charizard is like my battle where he took over 100% damage from the fire pillars in the second map and see him fly into the abyss :)
@@petegordon1648 Yeah, that happened to me too, but instead of the fire pillars hitting him, the water from the 3rd(?) form washed him away, like a leaf falling off of a bare tree.
Funny thing is, the description of the boss spirit is “defense increases when at high damage,” her damage increases when under 150 hp, after 30 damage has been done
@@Sean_Bird they also pronounce Ylisse as "Ehlise"(just Elise with more emphasis on the E) So a LOT of people I see take the pronunciations they use with The Dead Sea amount of salt

9v and 18v were brutal for me in my current (first) playthrough, as well as kappin without having any wind resist spirits. i managed to get dr wily using metal killer, two stamina up spirits, and spamming byleth side special

Interviewer: So, do you have any skills? Me: Well, I did beat Pauline in two attempts. Interviewer: YOU'RE HIRED! Edit: I don't want to sound rude, but I don't care how many times it took you to beat Pauline.
The one that made me crying my guts out was wind fish oh my god that is the worst spirit I ever had to face I used sephiroth almost everytime and by luck I was somehow able to get the spirit
Just a heads-up, I know that this is over a year old, but during the Dry Bowser Spirit Battle, you could've used Kirby's stone to land safely on the lava and restore your ledge grabs
Pauline: ITS TIME JUMP UP IN THE AIR! *Gets beaten up a lot* *Failure Failure Failure Failure Failure Failure Failure Failure Failure Failure Failure Failure Failure Failure Failure Failure Failure Failure Failure* Me: Screw this crap *Moves to the other side* Me: More better.
For the Pauline spirit I got tired of trying. Then I had a plan. I got the skill where you get 2 Final Smashes and I planned on using Pac-Man. Well my plan did get rid of D.K and Mario but then Peach somehow managed to kill herself. I had a lot of happiness for obvious reasons but also sadness because I wasn't the one to end her.
For strong wind, King K Rool dashing will keep you stationary and his dash attack can never go off of ledges, so you can spam dash attack for strong wind stages.
I think an exception to the no-spirit rule for certain spirits would have made this ranking better. Most of the battles on this list were designed for certain spirits to be necessary, and were only difficult because you didn't allow yourself to use the necessary spirit.
I agree with this. The Dry Bowser battle is intended to be free once you get a spirit that protects against lava. Same for any battle with heavy wind and other hazards. The idea is that if you find a spirit that you are struggling with, that you can come back once you have a better team of spirits to assist.
Yeah the game clearly doesn't intend for you not to use Spirits as you do like 1 damage a hit without them, and several of these battles are made much easier from Spirits than others.
@@Pokemonhacker1337 I wouldn't exactly call Dry Bowser "free", since he's still a hard hitter who gets curry breath and increased defense. But still, I'd definitely consider him easier than the likes of Dr. Wily or Giga Mac
@@SamTheMarioMan It's a free(r) fight after you get and upgrade either Balder or Diancie (forgot which had the advantage in this fight) along with fire immunity. You see, the curry counts as a projectile so these two evolved spirits who give you Franklin badge help you withstand the curry and even damage back at Bowser, so your only worry is to defeat Bowser enough for the defense buffs to not get intrusive and for your badge to not expire Oh, and btw. If you are good at using either Ness or Lucas, that can also help since their down B heals with projectiles or so I remember
@@ThatOneDude1509 try it going underlevel against those spirits (I did a challenge of going underlevel against every spirit and the less abilities of the skill tree activated) and those fights are equally challenging as having none
Dr Willy spirit is damn hard, I beat it on hard mode and if you have the auto heal supporter, take one of the mega man out and keep on dodging until you have the health that you wanted, since there is no time limit, keep on dodging the one that you didn’t take out, after you have high health you can beat it in no time.
For number 8, use Franklin Badge and a Super Armour spirit (Gold Mario) and spam up smash on your starting spot with any character, before the stage transiston to the fire phase, move to the center.
My solution to the damaging floors: use Kirby In his down special attack, he can’t take damage, and to use it you have to be in the air, and also, he has five jumps
Here's a tip: for the Pauline spirit you just have to chase Peach and trick Peach's CPU to walk off the ledge and use her up special and glide down to the blast zone, it's just an easy way to do it(at least on easy mode, I don't know if it works on normal or hard) Edit: I just un-paused the vid and you mentioned the trick I was talking about... Edit 2: 11:57 Weird transition, but okay...
With the special floors, just use Kirby's down special attack and when you turn back into Kirby, start flying. The floor can't hurt you if you are stone and it also can't if you are flying.
Even with no spirits, with Kirby and King Dedede, Jeff is easy…. You just need to go to the blast zone holding *B* and then when you suck one inkling you turnaround very quick and press *A* to inject them in the blast zone so they can die immediately if you do the same thing with the three of them. Also watch out for the cars
I couldn't beat Jeff with bowser, who can spam the same exact body slam move, with level 99 spirits. I had to go to the dark realm and get super strong spirits just to beat him
Ah yes Caeda is one hell a battle, i captured all other spirits, but that one even with spirits equipped! And you forgot to mention that they also kill you in like 3 hits
Sadly there’s no way to truly cheese that fight as the first time I did it, peach sd’ed and while the staff kinda works the problem is how Peach would take a while to recover and stand still which sadly is long enough for Mario and DK to spawn.
For Tabu here's what I did: - Equip Majora's mask spirit (Skull Kid, health leech) - Support spirit will be a critical health healing spirit - I played MegaMan, his ranged attacks can do wonders if you keep your distance, I mostly utilized the side b. - Only go in for melee attacks sometimes and when necessary, I only went in for MegaMans dash attack sometimes with some aerials and a few charged up smashes Hope this helps for people who are just getting into WoL 👊😎👌
I used Mega Man with a super armour/hyper smash attacks spirit team. From there, all it took was spamming forward smash, and with the addition of Double Final Smash and Fast FS meter charge, it was far easier than I expected.
wait so you’re telling me that i beat the ho-oh spirit in one try with a level 2 eevee sprit but i couldn’t defeat tabuu with a max level dlc spirit? doubt it
Hardest fight for me was Guile. You had to deal with a Captain Falcon with increased attack power (which isn't stated, but I have a feeling he does) all fighters having lower jump power, and fighting the Guile assist trophy, not to forget to mention it's a stamina battle.
11:55 That was the most jarring segue I've ever experienced. Seriously, I actually got minor whiplash from how sudden that was. Well played.
that was quite the Segway
threes 3’s weird french inspired way of saying segway probably
Agree

@Lochlan Webster why?
Pauline Spirit:"Jump up super high"
Also Pauline Spirit:Decreases your jump power during the fight

i hATE IT

Haha never.
I beat it by playing ness and back throwing dk at the top left part of the stage.
Well at least there's Break Free (Lead the Way)! I liked that song better anyway.
She jumped off for me.
Fun fact: Pauline's spirit battle was cheesed by Sakurai himself.

Use a spirit with the staff equipped ability. Combine with spirits that increase shooting damage. Two well time hits at the start of the match and its over. Three if you are not lucky.
I got lucky and peach just fell after an up b

Who here won the Pauline Spirit because the main fighter killed herself?

me and it was hard because peach was being a coward
Edit: the comment blew up
Me I had to lure peach up to the top and defeat her with zero suit samus's super. I hate this one forever.
All i did is wait for the time slow thing and then get it and spam banjos side b on peach
I just used the super scope it is really easy
Super armor ridley killed himself for me the exact same way. After about an hour of me trying everything else
Ah hard as I tried to kill Ridley, he died by the Dark Emperor's hand in the end
Pauline: you can't defeat me
Me: I can't but he can
Very easy mode

I did her, slammed down B with DK and used a poison remover spirit.
7:29 I beat it by
-Using an advantage primary spirit at lvl 99 that has three support slots
-Using a metal killer support spirit
-Using the “Health gained every K.O.” support spirit
-Using a tank, like Ganon

I won against Dark Emperor because “Dark Emperor ” literally came in at the right time to hit Ridely.
*PRETTY EPIC WIN HUH*
On one of my tries on Dark Emperor, I bounced off Ridley's head just as the stage sunk all the way because of the Dark Emperor taking the stage

Omfg I should've just done that

I spent roughly 2 and a half hours trying to defeat this spirit. In the end though, Zero Suit Samus jumped off the stage and recovered the wrong way like with what happened to you. I was so pissed off though because it felt like she had pity for me and did it on purpose. Needless to say I left that match feeling unsatisfied with a godly spirit.
SAME
Replaying the whole campaign with all spirits and upgrades turned off? Wow, that is some next level commitment.
Tip:
With enemies like Ho-oh, or generally any other enemy with the curry breathing, you can use characters like Simon/Richter and spam Up-B. It’s not always 100% possible, but if you use Up-B on the enemy, their curry breath will take you out of free-Fall mode, meaning you can immediately use it again. If done correctly, you can spam it several times and lift them to the blast zone.
i just use lucas down b
All I do is use a Franklin Badge
My advice: With Ho-oh, hope that charizard is like my battle where he took over 100% damage from the fire pillars in the second map and see him fly into the abyss :)
@@petegordon1648 Yeah, that happened to me too, but instead of the fire pillars hitting him, the water from the 3rd(?) form washed him away, like a leaf falling off of a bare tree.
I would use the holy water
Funny thing is, the description of the boss spirit is “defense increases when at high damage,” her damage increases when under 150 hp, after 30 damage has been done
My guess is, the boss shouldn't take any damage. Any damage is already too high lol
What about 9-volt & 18-volt? That one is hard enough even with spirits and much harder than Megaman.exe
Ketchup and uhhhh
G R E A T Z A P F I S H
I completely agree, it's not hard to fight against Villager and Incineroar, but Sheriff is a pain the ass
That spirit took me like two weeks to beat
Was thinking to myself this whole video, Where are 9 volt &18 volt lol
I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO WIN
It took me 75 fricking years to get the ho-oh spirit. I was jumping up and down when I finally got the spirit!
Me: Defeats Pauline on the first try
Also me: Fails countless times on DE.
Jordan J. How lol
JUST HOW!?
Wait, what's a DE?
Emanuel Theodorus Dark Emperor
Jordan J. Its took me 999999 time when i beat it i almost got a hard attack
Everyone: I had luck and beat the spirits on this list
Me who used very easy mode: who needs luck when you have *cheating*
I actually beat dark emperor on my first try naw I'm serious
I beat Pauline spirit on my 1st try, I foot stooled her and she just fell to her death, why didn’t she try to recover? Kinda dumb if you ask me
Honestly, giga Mac is the hardest spirit in the game with spirits...
@@handsomeorange198 just use command grabs and spam it, I did that and beat the Giga max spirit
@@brundidgeboyz9291 when I did it never seemed to work
Caeda is pronounced “She-da” for reference.
She’s Marth’s Wife by the way.
interestingly, warriors pronounces her name without the H. they just say "seeda"
@@Underworlder5 Odd. I haven't seen a ton of Warriors, so I didn't know that.
@@Sean_Bird they also pronounce Ylisse as "Ehlise"(just Elise with more emphasis on the E)
So a LOT of people I see take the pronunciations they use with The Dead Sea amount of salt
Shed marth wife? Whahahaahaaa
@@schpuhki7286 yeah, Marth's fiancee/wife, who is the entire reason that Chrom and Lucina are eventually born
You could also use your spirit list which automatically allows you to find a spirit and battle it. It will save much more time.

With most of these spirits, bowser works way too well
As a man with bowser as my secondary, I can confirm this.
And Giant help
9v and 18v were brutal for me in my current (first) playthrough, as well as kappin without having any wind resist spirits. i managed to get dr wily using metal killer, two stamina up spirits, and spamming byleth side special
fax
Me to for the doctor willy I used metal killer and 2 attack boot and used doctor Mario and spammed down special
Noted
was looking for this comment
For 9v and 18v,you have to kill the assist trophy first.
Once you do,they are vulnerable.
Also,remember to grab the items before they do.
8:01
You could've spammed Down-B as Lucas... If you wanted to cheese.
(Also insert Ashley being hard joke here)
I went Lucas for that battle and my god was it way easier
I used Kirby's up special to cheese this one
BEEG YOSHI I defeated her 3rd try on hard mode without control reversal spirit
Haha lucas jokes
Yeah, exactly what i did but with more nair spams
Btw the way to Caeda is See-da
i beat Pauline spirit first try because peach fell of the map
Same here

I won thanks to Ganon's Smash Meter
LoL
Interviewer: So, do you have any skills?
Me: Well, I did beat Pauline in two attempts.
Interviewer: YOU'RE HIRED!
Edit: I don't want to sound rude, but I don't care how many times it took you to beat Pauline.
It took me a long time but I did it
I legit beat it on hard with one attempt with my brother, who had been struggling with it for his account for hours, sitting next to me.
Same (on hard)
Not gonna lie, I beat gigs MAC in two attempts. With meta Ridley.
@@gregorycattleman8561 me too (on easy)
For me, Jeff is personally VERY hard. I FINALLY got him yesterday! He may take up all the extra Spirit slots, but it was worth it!
@Loyal Jaguars fan since 2015_2-8_Duuuvalll I tried with DK but I kept dying, so I used pac-man and I got lucky with the final smash
Which character did you use?
The only one on this list that made me rage quit was no. 4.
Fax
The one that made me crying my guts out was wind fish oh my god that is the worst spirit I ever had to face I used sephiroth almost everytime and by luck I was somehow able to get the spirit
Just a heads-up, I know that this is over a year old, but during the Dry Bowser Spirit Battle, you could've used Kirby's stone to land safely on the lava and restore your ledge grabs
How to beat Giga Mac:
1. Pick Donkey Kong
2. Foward Throw
3. Profit
Thats the speedrun strat believe it or not
Incineroar’s Up Special would also help.
Or(what I did) get corrin and just repeatably jump on the rope getting height so I could use his/her down smash every time he comes by.
Is that actually a achieve thing
Thats how I beat it
Pauline: ITS TIME JUMP UP IN THE AIR!
*Gets beaten up a lot*
*Failure Failure Failure Failure Failure Failure Failure Failure Failure Failure Failure Failure Failure Failure Failure Failure Failure Failure Failure*
Me: Screw this crap
*Moves to the other side*
Me: More better.
For the Pauline spirit I got tired of trying. Then I had a plan. I got the skill where you get 2 Final Smashes and I planned on using Pac-Man. Well my plan did get rid of D.K and Mario but then Peach somehow managed to kill herself. I had a lot of happiness for obvious reasons but also sadness because I wasn't the one to end her.
Sean Squiers oh off of the skill tree I got that two
THANKS YOU GAVE ME A ****ING IDEA
I cheesed it, used kirby with the jet pack, inhaled her jumped off the edge then got back and tried not to die while she fell.
For strong wind, King K Rool dashing will keep you stationary and his dash attack can never go off of ledges, so you can spam dash attack for strong wind stages.
I think an exception to the no-spirit rule for certain spirits would have made this ranking better. Most of the battles on this list were designed for certain spirits to be necessary, and were only difficult because you didn't allow yourself to use the necessary spirit.
I agree with this. The Dry Bowser battle is intended to be free once you get a spirit that protects against lava. Same for any battle with heavy wind and other hazards. The idea is that if you find a spirit that you are struggling with, that you can come back once you have a better team of spirits to assist.
I'd argue number 2 was still hard... especially if you did it the "true" way.
Snake with young Ocelot spirit.
Yeah the game clearly doesn't intend for you not to use Spirits as you do like 1 damage a hit without them, and several of these battles are made much easier from Spirits than others.
@@Pokemonhacker1337 I wouldn't exactly call Dry Bowser "free", since he's still a hard hitter who gets curry breath and increased defense. But still, I'd definitely consider him easier than the likes of Dr. Wily or Giga Mac
@@SamTheMarioMan It's a free(r) fight after you get and upgrade either Balder or Diancie (forgot which had the advantage in this fight) along with fire immunity. You see, the curry counts as a projectile so these two evolved spirits who give you Franklin badge help you withstand the curry and even damage back at Bowser, so your only worry is to defeat Bowser enough for the defense buffs to not get intrusive and for your badge to not expire
Oh, and btw. If you are good at using either Ness or Lucas, that can also help since their down B heals with projectiles or so I remember
11:54
That transition was to good to be true
The worst transition in the history if transitions probably ever
Ppl here: Most of these are easy! Just use-
Me: HE SAID NO SPIRITS
All of them are easy with spirits and upgrades, Pauline is the only Spirit he mentioned that can still be a challenge with both on.
Even Pauline is so hard that I couldn’t beat her with the best spirits
@@ThatOneDude1509 try it going underlevel against those spirits (I did a challenge of going underlevel against every spirit and the less abilities of the skill tree activated) and those fights are equally challenging as having none
@@marcoguzman095 tried doing the boss early on... without a way of nullifying the poison ground
I won by using a cheese strat
What
No
Dr Willy spirit is damn hard, I beat it on hard mode and if you have the auto heal supporter, take one of the mega man out and keep on dodging until you have the health that you wanted, since there is no time limit, keep on dodging the one that you didn’t take out, after you have high health you can beat it in no time.
#10 Tabuu: Metal Killer
#9 Dark Emperor: Giant Killer
#8 Ho-Oh: Franklin Badge
#7 Geno: Jam FS Charge or KOs Heal Damage
#6 MegaMan.EXE: Zap-Floor Immunity
#5 Giga Mac: Giant Killer
#4 Dr. Wily: Metal Killer
#3 Dry Bowser: Lava-Floor Immunity
#2 The Boss: Poison Immunity/Pauline: Staff Equipped
#1 Caeda: Strong-Wind Immunity
If you can’t tell, he’s ranking them on how hard they are to beat without spirits
For number 8, use Franklin Badge and a Super Armour spirit (Gold Mario) and spam up smash on your starting spot with any character, before the stage transiston to the fire phase, move to the center.
Caeda is too easy for #1
Ranked without spirits and adventure skills. He said it at the beginning
For The Boss, Madame Butterfly is the most useful spirit.
Imagine the Pauline battle with lava floor and sudden damage , i wouldn't even try.
Firestorm . exe if you add stamina to it, it’s gonna be even worse
@@yoshimiester507thesadyoshi2 and high jump gravity
RIP Spiritless Challenge
Is it bad that I knew the exact spirits just from there starting music 😂
No, I did too!
Me too. When I heard the Mega Man music, I knew it was Dr. Wily.
P.S. Who thought Jeff Spirit would be on here?
Nah. You, like most of us, have PTSD. Hearing Snake Eater almost made me have an anxiety attack.
I may be a grammar nazi but it’s their not there
I guess so
My solution to the damaging floors: use Kirby
In his down special attack, he can’t take damage, and to use it you have to be in the air, and also, he has five jumps
6 jumps actually
Here's a tip: for the Pauline spirit you just have to chase Peach and trick Peach's CPU to walk off the ledge and use her up special and glide down to the blast zone, it's just an easy way to do it(at least on easy mode, I don't know if it works on normal or hard)
Edit: I just un-paused the vid and you mentioned the trick I was talking about...
Edit 2: 11:57 Weird transition, but okay...
@@alex-sh5ed Loki works too (Spawn with a black hole), that's how I did it
With the special floors, just use Kirby's down special attack and when you turn back into Kirby, start flying. The floor can't hurt you if you are stone and it also can't if you are flying.
It does work for d bowser but not the boss cause look in the top hand right corner it's a timed battle
Kirby's down special is OP.
@@Nico-mh7xq it can tank pretty much any final smash with lot health
how to defy everything: throw kirby at it! spam down special! worked for me
@@AirMadeKat you all heard me it won’t work for the boss because time will eventually beat u
8:14 even when fighting blaze the cat, the stage is also on fire, and can’t complete this without a spirit and resistance
But against Blaze the Cat, you could use the platforms
Correction only the platforms are on fire the bottom part doesn't have fire on it
Me about to fight Pauline : oh boy this ain’t gonna be hard
Me after the fight : **HORRIFICALLY TRAUMATIZED**
4:56 "early damage"
*is at 162*
Seems pretty early to me
I feel like spirits should be taken into consideration as they literally are designed for some battles
And he wasn't even using them. That's impressive
Muffin Man no Wonder why he couldn’t win lol
Hi odds one out
Russell Straight III it’s a fan it’s in his name
@@helainawalters2416 I say it for short
how i beat dr. wily is just getting in the air then spamming kirbys down special
Me to
Same
Luis Pizana I use kirby
Then that means
Evil luagh
Luis Pizana I found his up special easier
Me to
I spammed it on every single spirit battle
In the curry charizard fight, charizard died to the ho oh part and i said “ LOL his spirit killed him”
That was a beautiful transition to a sponser XD also *W H E R E I S*
*J E F F*
Jeff was so hard I couldn’t even beat him with Little mac
Lol I beat Jeff first try with Mario
Even with no spirits, with Kirby and King Dedede, Jeff is easy….
You just need to go to the blast zone holding *B* and then when you suck one inkling you turnaround very quick and press *A* to inject them in the blast zone so they can die immediately if you do the same thing with the three of them. Also watch out for the cars
Yeah for sure.
I couldn't beat Jeff with bowser, who can spam the same exact body slam move, with level 99 spirits. I had to go to the dark realm and get super strong spirits just to beat him
Pauline has one weakness Being, stream sniped
I like how most of the CPUs ways to KO is with a Smash Attack
M Bison was a huge pain as you had Super Armour Ganondorf whilst your own defence and attack power sharply dropped.
The 9 volt one was just broken
4:05 wait, how is Kirby a spirit possessed statue when he wasn’t caught
Basically galeem analyzed his anatomy while he was fighting spirits so he could make copies of him
Meta knight?? I think? That was one thing I never got either.
john Devan wayne if he could just do that why did he have to use the actual characters as a mould
Bundle of Nonsense that’s a good question
I'm so glad I wasn't the only one thinking that
If we're counting non World Of Light spirits, Baby Bowser is the hardest in my opinion
jigglypuff
up b spam
I mean, I finished the story 100%, but these spirits killed my own soul.
Ah yes Caeda is one hell a battle, i captured all other spirits, but that one even with spirits equipped! And you forgot to mention that they also kill you in like 3 hits
"Welcome to the Salty Spitoon, how tough are you?"
"How tough am I? I beat the Pauline stage!"
"Okay?"
"In one go."
"R-Right come in!"
@@mickymahan6431 Aight
It would have been better if the answer was "without the timer item"
Yeah the Pauline one took so damn long to beat! I found out using giant Link with staff helped a lot.
Sadly there’s no way to truly cheese that fight as the first time I did it, peach sd’ed and while the staff kinda works the problem is how Peach would take a while to recover and stand still which sadly is long enough for Mario and DK to spawn.
DON'T SAY DAMN BITCH
Lol i has dlc, and beat it on 1st try
Hero is broken
11:56 I see Nathaniel Bandy has been taking lessons from rabbidluigi
For Tabu here's what I did:
- Equip Majora's mask spirit (Skull Kid, health leech)
- Support spirit will be a critical health healing spirit
- I played MegaMan, his ranged attacks can do wonders if you keep your distance, I mostly utilized the side b.
- Only go in for melee attacks sometimes and when necessary, I only went in for MegaMans dash attack sometimes with some aerials and a few charged up smashes
Hope this helps for people who are just getting into WoL 👊😎👌
Dr. Wily? Nah. Just spam Kirby’s Up-B.
ATarPΔC i kept spamming down B
•Wolfzie Edits• Me too
I just didn't beat this stage and moved on with my life, I came back to it later, and just did the same thing
For the Peach/Pauline one, I just use Samus to shoot her in far distance. The conflict avoiding ones are avoiding the player, but not the projectile
i use lukey just to control some PSI and, you know the drill
I used snake and spammed rockets
I did it with Mii Gunner.
@@igiveup1024 she shields the drill
I used Mega Man with a super armour/hyper smash attacks spirit team. From there, all it took was spamming forward smash, and with the addition of Double Final Smash and Fast FS meter charge, it was far easier than I expected.
1:42
Nathaniel: this battle is hard
Ridley: *literally almost SD’s*
The Claus and Ninten spirits were easily the hardest for me. Each took me FOREVER to complete.
Guess how my brother beat pauline.
She fell of the stage and i am not joking
Jump Up -Super Star Off a Building
Same lol
I had the same thing
After 100s of trys
I knee'd her with C.Falcon. I spent 5000 hours and then finally got the spirit.
I used the super scope it worked
wait so you’re telling me that i beat the ho-oh spirit in one try with a level 2 eevee sprit but i couldn’t defeat tabuu with a max level dlc spirit? doubt it
You WHAT?
Smekledorf is my new favorite word thank you
Hardest fight for me was Guile. You had to deal with a Captain Falcon with increased attack power (which isn't stated, but I have a feeling he does) all fighters having lower jump power, and fighting the Guile assist trophy, not to forget to mention it's a stamina battle.
Finally someone who has the same problem as me… Guile is the only spirit in the story mode which I could not beat at the hardest difficulty 😢
