One fun thing about Fatalis from Monster Hunter. "Fatalis" isn't exactly the name of the monster. A Fatalis is a event that causes mass destruction and loss of life. The only reason the dragon is referred to by that name, it is the only known instance of a Fatalis event taking place...
A weapon of true mass destruction
Then what is its actual name? Because the event also called the Legend of the Black Flame, and the like.
@@KressfallVT I think that's the brilliance of it
@@rojochronos1004 A nameless terror that wiped out an entire country in a mere evening... Daaamn.
"Did I mention he does all this with a crippled arm?"
Not only that, but said crippled arm is his _good_ arm.
Yes, Artorias is putting up that good a fight with his off-hand.
WAIT, he is a lefty?
@@hmasterchaos8700 It is implied, but it is dark souls lore. There is never 100% guarentee anything is correct unless spelled out. (The Dark Sign being a curse placed upon Humanity by Gwyn was only revealed in the very last DLC)
And he doesn't have his shield either.
Ike: “... Daddy?”
In Dark Souls 2 Artorias Sword is just a normal sword... until you equip it on your left hand and you start spinning and somersault everything.
I remember watching Maximilian Dood fight fatalis and one point his controller’s battery died on him due to how long he was fighting him(he died a lot)and I laughed when he said and I quote “You’re plugged in though!! BUT YOU’RE PLUGGED IN!!!”
I need to go watch that video.
My guess is there was probably something wrong with his charger
Calling it, this video was a made for Josh to finally talk about Chakravartin.
Edit: Somebody pick up the phone!
YES IT IS! FINALLY!!! YES, YES!!!
'CAUSE YOU F*CKIN CALLED IT
Read the title, and yeah. We knew the entire motivation for this, and I love it
yeah, i knew it!
@@midnight_gmr8562 We all did >:D
Regarding Nightmare King Grimm, there is actually a nice touch to his character. In this troupe master form, he bows down when the battle starts. If you use this as a chance to sucker punch him, he will be pissed and jump straight into his "pufferfish" mode, an attack that he only uses when at half health or lower.
That was a nice touch
Clarification: He uses it at 75% health, 50% health, and 25% health. But you can trigger a fourth one by smacking his kneecap as he bows.
@@sapphireclawe Or my favorite alternative, jumpdashing behind him and smacking him in the ass.
One of my favorite things about the last phase of the Chakravartin fight is when, as you finally wear him down and bring him to the brink of death, he even starts failing his own "self-made quick time events." Way to really drive in the absolute devastation you're doing to this bastard.
_Sees title_
Azura's Wrath fans: *OUR DAY HAS COME!!!*
After his last countdown, I was hoping this would be the case x3 Hell yeah!!!
He’s finally done it: he put Chakravardon on a list!
You missed the fact that Artorious is actually fighting *with his off hand*. He’s left handed. Imagine how quick and precise his attacks would be if he was using his actual swinging arm!
BRO I WAS JOKING!
I mean we knew it was coming just like the kingdom hearts entry.
@@uniconwizardsb1122 not sure what that is but OK
He shouldn't have been because Chakravartin shouldn't have been DLC.
Not to mention he did not have his shield cause he left it to protect Sif and the Abyss corrupted him so much he could not cast miracles. This is why I want Artorias in a standalone.
HE FINALLY GOT TO TALK ABOUT THIS BOSS!
??????????

Joshscorcher: *finally gets to talk about Chakravartin*
Us, the Viewers: Not bad, kid.
He made this list just so he could talk about Chakravartin, like cmon.
spoilers for his Top Ten God Bosses, Chakravartin is mentioned there as well.
*sees the list*
"ok the question is not if chakravartin is here, but where.
The answer was obvious.
@@karlhnedkovsky5214 yes. but it could have been different. i dont know every dlc boss afterall
"Besides, where else are you going to find a one-arm swordsman tainted by the abyss"
**shrieks in Hollow Knight**
there's berserk, too ya goof!
@@magolor3219 yeah but as far as video game characters go, The Hollow Knight from Hollow Knight fits the bill, and if Josh does another tear jerker boss list, he should put him on it

19:43 “Come on, Sora! I thought you were stronger than that!”
Repeat that 45+ times, and you have the Data Dark Riku fight in a nutshell.
ONE MORE! ONE MORE!
YOU LIKE THAT?
Stay Saix-y.
It's also worth noting that with Artorias, that his crippled arm was his *weapon arm* which means he is fighting you with his *weaker* arm and without his great-shield. In other words, you never even get to fight Artorias at his absolute best, you only fight him in a *weakened* state and when he has become so corrupted by the Abyss that he's little more than a rabid beast that has very little to no capacity for higher thought processes, and even then you can only barely eke out a win against him.
But he's also powered up from the dark to be even stronger. Everything gets stronger from dark, from slaves to dragons, thats a running theme in the series (Friede, Kings, Nash, Gael, Midir, Manus, etc etc.). Its not like going hollow, he got a shitload of power that drove him insane. Yes hes using his off hand, fighting mindlessly and doesnt have his shield, but hes even more powerful, buffs himself with dark and fights completely berserk.
He went from a skilled knight to a deadly monster. Now, if he had his shield, his arm, his sanity AND got the dark buff then I think we'd for sure be seeing him at his top potential.
And he's using his last bit of humanity to test your might, to see if you will truly be able to pick up where he left off.
@@wr5488 the way I see it the dark basically traded Artorias skill for more power. So honestly if he wasn’t corrupted by the abyss he’d probably be more difficult. He would do less damage but probably be way harder to fight or hit without him blocking. Also He’d probably have sif with him.
I tend to do more than eke out a win 👀
Not only is Artorius' arm crippled, it's his DOMINANT ARM that's crippled, meaning he is wielding his sword in his offhand.
“Or go for the exotic way by giving him some good old bananas.”
😳What?
OOOOH! BO-NA-NA!
I can't have heard that right...right?
... I guess the Yiga are related to the Sheikah.
@@thegamingknight642 They were. Until they just go to the dark side for some reasons.

Oml the “it’s Kingdom Hearts time” noise was so unexpectedly adorable I burst out laughing XD Good show Ari and Josh!!!
The Master Cycle Zero was a sweet reward for completing the Champion's Ballad, but you know what would have been just as sweet to get to take with you?
_The One-Hit Obliterator._
Imagine being able to walk up to Calamity Ganon and just *_**SLAP**_* Kingdom's saved.
If you could make it to him without getting taken out by a random boko on the way
Me: *Sees the DLC Boss Title*
Me: "Hehehehe, Chakravartin is going to be #1.
Honestly one aspect I grew to like about fight with Chakravartin is how much more personal it is compared to fight with Vlitra, even the song for it, being calm (with some sinister insert moments) cover of games main theme, and an overall atmosphere of isolation of this fight from everything else it really turns it into clash of personal motivations instead of battle to save the world like with Vlitra
Did he make this top ten just so he could put Chakravartin on a list: Yes, obviously.
Do I blame him for it: No, I commend him!
Also, I love the prompt the game gives you when Chakravartin offers Asura everything. It says, "press to extend hand." and so you do.....
Except your hand is completely clenched and is aimed directly at his face.
@@michaelnelson1127 Bingo
"There's something on your face!
[WHACK]
It was PAIN!"
This was specifically so you could put Chakravartin on a list, wasn’t it?
EDIT: Thanks for the ❤️, Josh! I’ve been watching you since Alex Rochon was still making countdowns. Was cool to watch your style develop over the course of around a decade. Hope all is well with you, your wife, and Alex!
EDIT 2: Huh. Guess it was an accident. Sorry, Josh.
Would you be surprised?
Not in the slightest.
Josh hasn’t exactly been subtle about wanting to put Chakravartin on a list.
When you edit a comment it automatically loses the heart. It probably happens to prevent a content creator from hearting something then it gets changed to something completely different that the creator doesn't actually condone.
@@ryuuronin9852 Oh, didn’t know that.

Slave Knight Gael from Dark Souls 3: The Ringed City is not only my favorite dlc boss, but one of my favorite bosses of all time.
As a fan of the dark souls series, there’s so much to like here. He uses a broken greatsword that’s reminiscent of the broken sword that’s been a staple of the Souls series. He can teleport by using a white soap stone that’s used for co-op. He can call lightning from the sky that’s blue, not yellow, signifying it has nothing to do with Gwyn’s miracles. His cape is lined with the souls of those he’s devoured.
His story is that he’s looking for a pigment to give to his lady to paint a new world. The pigment just so happens to be the blood of the dark soul of man. So what does Gael do? He goes to the dreg heap at the end of the world and he eats everyone. Ok, he eats the furtive pigmies, rather, so that he can find the dark soul. When you find him, he’s gone completely mad, obsessed with eating everything in his path, including you.
It’s a climactic fight between two of the lowest souls who have become more powerful than gods and kings. If you have no interest in playing the game, I highly recommend you watch a video of the fight. The music is also some of the best video game music I’ve ever heard.
That "Prom Night Dumpster Baby" bit was funnier than it should've been. LOL
Anytime I hear Mad Hatter say "MUSTARD?", I fricking lose it because I remember a time when I was at Disneyland and had a funny moment with my mom and the Mad Hatter there.
Good thing it wasn't the Arkham series mad hatter.
I always thought of chakravartin's use of qte's less of a 4th walk break or trick to fool the player, and more of a proof that he is a being so superior that he is not comparable to asura, he is comparable to the player itself
Artorias's broken arm was his dominant arm, so he was kicking out ass with just his off hand
Admit it, we all knew Asura's Wrath would be number 1.
I'm kind of starting to hate how predictable Josh's list are getting
Yeah, could definitely use some more reach in the options. Though seeing Fatalis was cool
i honestly figured it would have been the street fighter crossover episode would have been #1 but then again i only seen that on Boss rage
so awesome seeing Fatalis especially so high at number 2! But he does deserve it, amazing fight especially once you conquer it and even then as many times as you fight him you can never let your guard down.
Fatalis should've been the big bad of Monster Hunter Stories, would've actually explained what the fuck the evil curse inflciting the land could've been
There is a version of Fatalis called the White Fatalis Zenith. This is the most powerful version we have seen and It has an attack that will completely atomize you. If you get hit you get absolutely destroyed and vaporized. And it has a badass theme.
@@severren1095 you mean which game version? Normal White Fatalis? Frontier White Fatalis? Or both version? Well...probably both he is White Fatalis after all. But yes, personally of the older games I prefer the White Fatalis fight and theme
@@sarafontanini7051 He's in the post game.
My favourite incarnation of Fatalis is actually the 4U Superboss that you unlock as the last Ancient Scroll. You think you go up against a normal crimson fatalis but the moment you step into Ingle Isle the cutscene shows him bathing in Lava. Then you realize that hes glowing...and it only gets worse
Here's a little tidbit about Fatalis and its ultimate attack: that massive tidal wave of hellfire is called "Schrade's Demise". This is the apocalyptic inferno that wiped out an entire kingdom. It's so hot, so savage and powerful, that any metal you try to hide behind will be melted into slag in mere seconds. If a metal barricade can't withstand it, what makes you think you'll fare any better?
*ADDENDUM (12/24/22):* I've just been informed that the real name of the attack is "Ruinous Pyroclasm". It still sounds intimidating, but I still kinda prefer "Schrade's Demise", to be honest.
It's official name is "ruinous pyroclasm" and shrades demise is just a fan name. And about the strenght of the attack, it's so hot that it actually would probably melt everything in multiple hundreds of meters radius. It's heat should be at least 15 000° celcius. Aka 28 000° fahrenheit. What's also even weirder and more impressive to me, is that the "fire" isn't even fire. Fatalis is weak to fire, so he would die if it was normal fire. Also it looks like basic fire, and not the super hot blue fire. So basically fatalis fires an inferno capable of destrying everything and anything in a massive radius, and the nova is some sort of fire-like element, which is also the most intense and powerful element in the mh universe only being rivaled by safi dragon energy. I hope you enjoyed my long ass comment. (Assuming you've read it completely🙂)
@@Doomguyhunter1
Yeah, don't worry, I read your whole comment. And, huh, I didn't know that. Honestly, though, despite "Ruinous Pyroclasm" sounding really cool in its own right, I still kinda wish "Schrade's Demise" was the official name. It just sounds more fitting, ya feel?
@@azazeltheundyingdamienkali5700 I agree.
Personally I’m a Lady Maria guy myself.

Sister Freide for me.
@@Lookalikealagaler for Dark souls I'd have to go Slave Knight Gael. For me it was a perfect send off to the series.
@@HunterForHire422 ah, you were at my side all along.
She bitch slapped a friend into a wall during a co-op it was so funny we spent the rest of the fight laughing
I'm just glad to see someone who isn't "hurr durr all dlc bad"
My favorite DLC boss is The Countess in Darkest Dungeon's Crimson Court
Yess, finally a Monster Hunter entry!
Dude, I don't blame you. Space Cadet pinball was part of my childhood.
Oh boy I wonder if kh is on this list...*sarcastic laugh*
I do think one thing that was missed out on is the absolute insanity of AC7's DLC. Especially since this was their first foray into full mission DLC for the Ace Combat series.
So, Matias Torres, the captain of the Super Scinfaxi classs Submersible Aircraft Carrier Alicorn. He's certainly a character. The first thing we hear from him is in the first of the three missions "Unexpected Visitor, where we hear his voice alongside a black screen saying "It's a requiem" and then later one, he talks about how gunnery is about killing the people on the boat, not about destroying the boat. Finally, he asks the question "Is it the plan to save ten million lives, or to kill one million people?"
So, tone for our character set, right? Not quite. The second mission "Ancorhead Raid" has you raiding the nominal port Things seem normal, until small drones come by. then boom, explosions go of in the air, damaging one of your wingmen while Torres laughs like a maniac, chanting out insane ramblings. "the death of a million is a necessity!" "Picture it!" and "Salvation!" to name a few. From this we learn his plan. Then we learn his plan: To use the Alicorn's 2000km range railgun to drop nuclear shells on the Osean capital of Oured, killing as many people as possible to during anti-war protests, in order to terrify Osea into ending the Lighthouse War early. Or so he says.
So now, we're to the final mission, "Ten Million Relief Plan" and it is nuts. The first part has you defending patrol aircraft as they drop sono-buoys to essentially throw a wide net to catch the Alicorn. After a moment where we see just how clever and forward thinking Torres is in using jamming buoys loaded with depth charges to create a lot of noise in the water, the sub is finally caught. but it's not over.
It becomes a mad fight to destroy the Alicorn's ballast tanks to prevent it from diving, while dodging fire from its two smaller railguns, VLS launchers, CWIS and SAMs, all the while it dives, releasing UAV's and it's own elite SACS squadron of Rafael fighters. The more it dives, the more it throws at you, including EM drones to deploy barriers to block your attacks and even a jammer to make locking onto it much more difficult, but once you pound it enough...
Torres surrenders. And your squadron is thrown into chaos. Count and Huxian want to just sink the boat, while Jaeger and Long caster are warning about international law. But the truth becomes clear. Torres recounts a story about how he hit a target 30km away in a rough storm during his time as a gunnery officer. All the while, the flight deck of the Alicorn rises and it opens up. It's clear now. He had no intention of surrendering and you now have to race to at least knock the barrel off target to stop the shot from hitting Oured.
And once you do, hell breaks loose. The Alicorn almost becomes possessed as whatever you didn't destroy starts firing like mad, all the while you're strafing the base of the railgun, the Alicorn's core. Torres has revealed his true self. A psychopath who wishes to be remembered for killing one million people with an impossible shot. Laughing maniacally, he screams about what he is doing is true beauty and art. Until finally you do it. The Railgun is down, and the Alicorn is sparking and exploding. Until you get one final message from Torres:
"Don't you see?! One million! ONE MILLION LIVES!"
There is no remorse, no despair, no anger, only obsession over his goal, as he laughs one final time as the Alicorn rips in two from one final explosion and sinks to the bottom of the ocean, with Matias Torres and the crew sent to the sea.
Oh and Also Torres might be one of my favorite villains because of how chilling realistic he is. That's all I have to say, thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
TL;DR, I'm sad the Alicorn from Ace Combat 7 wasn't mentioned even as an honorable.
There's a few parallels in the DLC from Dark Souls and Bloodborne. Both Artorias and Maria are guarding their world's darkest secret. Artorias failed to stop Manus, while Maria was one of the Hunters that killed Kos. Getting past each of them allows the player to explore the source of the world's main problem as the final area. Maybe Orphan doesn't have quite the same buildup itself, but the symbolism of the journey gets more impactful the more I think about it.
Finally Josh found a subject to FINALLY put THAT boss in a list.
Number 1: FUCKING NAILED IT!
As soon as you made a mustard joke, I knew EXACTLY which boss you were about to talk about
The squeaky toy noise when Josh gets excited is just so funny.
One minute, thirty-six seconds in: "...this is just an excuse to talk about the Asura's Wrath fight, isn't it?"
"Did I mention he does all this with a crippled arm?"
Yup and Mister Artorias is Yeeting me out of existence while his good arm is crippled beyond anything
Three countdowns this month instead of the usual two, and with two of them being released back-to-back. Josh, you're truly spoiling us.
Valentines gift
Your #1 pick is why Asura's Wrath needs a remaster, where the true ending is on the disc (and cartridge in the case of the Switch) instead of locked in a server behind a paywall.
I don't care what people say. I'm with Josh on this one. 3D Space Cadet has that swordplay weirdness beat. In terms of addictiveness anywho. I mean if it was a choice between pinball and that swordplay scenario, I'd rather play the pinball
Mad Hatter: “Mustard?! Well, that’s just silly!”
...
Mad Hatter: “Lemon, that’s different.”
13:28
Oh, you already made that joke. 😳
He should make a list on *GOOD* DLC that's actually worth it; Undead Nightmare, Ballad of Gay Tony, The Old Hunters etc.
The Smash Bros Fighters passes.
Dancing on Crisp White Sheets for AC7.
Blood and Wine.
Torna - The Golden Country.
Octo Expansion.
Josh Finally Gets To Talk About Chakravartin!
The fated arrival of the video that Chakravartin can finally be mentioned in, the Legends were true!
The fact that DMC5 Dante was NOT included on this list in any shape of form is a crime against humanity
Josh thabk you for everything you said about Fatalis, I have been a Monster Hunter fan ever since the second game on the psp, this fight in iceborne was basically the crowning moment of my time as a Hunter, me and a friend along with 2 randoms brought down the beast and the hunt brings together all that I love about the series, the challenge, the comradery, the orchestral music, the fight was by far the best way to cap off World which was one of the great games I ever played, I agree that by the end with the Fatalis it felt like an entire Journey I took to get to that point, it was glorious and one of my greatest Monster Hunter moments ever
I have a countdown idea: top ten unintentionally justified characters.
Explanation: these are characters that were explicitly written to never be agreed with but some of the writing of the story unintentionally justifies their actions.
So...it’d be kind-of similar to his “liked characters we were supposed to hate” list? Emphasis on kind-of.
Cyrus from Pokémon. He was designed to be kinda-sorta sympathetic, but not really agreeable. But the world setting establishes that his points are valid. The creator of the universe is not only very real, but also utterly apathetic, only ever getting involved when directly summoned. To have actual guidance in the universe, to have a god that isn't lazy, would be a net positive.
@@michaelnelson1127 similar but it leans in more on their actions and beliefs as opposed to you liking them
After seeing you mentioning Asura's Wrath DLC boss, yeah, I see why you love him so much.
Please do a top 10 old people. Mustard, Ocelot, and others will make the list both easy and hard to make.
Yeah we all know this list was made to talk about Chakravartin.
I’m disappointed you didn’t mention the Umbral Beast from Fire Emblem Three Houses, the three Mages sisters from Kirby Star Allies, or Dante from DMC5
Void?
@@Cata-qp6fi Void Soul has no story significance while the three mage sisters do
The umbral beast doesn't really deserve it for how cheeseable it can be. Destroy its barrier with battalions, stay outside of its range so it can't attack you during the enemy phase, charge its special attack, teleport and restore its barrier; way for it to summon its puppets and drain them of all their hp but 1, leave them alone and the boss can't regenerate its health anymore, attack it from afar with ONLY the units you KNOW can get out of its range afterwards (so it doesn't attack during the enemy and start all that jazz), either by themselves or using other arts. If you run out health, healing spells and such, occasionally destroy one of the puppets to grab their vulneraries
@@floricel_112 Try telling that to any poor soul, who beat it on Hard mode, seriously there’s a reason why there’s no option to battle it on Maddening difficulty
@@zaneheaston8254 there's no maddening period for cindered shadows. Besides, hard mode was maddening enough as it is
32:00 correction but asura didn't "lose" his mantra core but its just that his core could not withstand his wrath and was causing his body to break under the pressure. so what yasha does in the next episode was take the mantra reactor of the karam fortress capable of holding the mantra from trillions of human souls and used that as asura's reactor intending for it to keep up with asura's endless wrath.
after that yasha pulls out his own core to jumpstart asura and then fights him for three reasons. one to make sure asura is prepared for the fight ahead, to make sure the reactor is working as intended, and finally to make peace with himself and asura by settling old scores the only way they knew how.
I'm so glad Grimm was in this. He's my absolute favorite boss because of the fight but also the lore and feeling of the Grimm Troupe. It's a performance...a dance
Asura’s Wrath in it’s completed state deserves a remaster with everything, Chakravartin and all.
The opportunity to punch a supreme deity doesn't happen everyday, in which casa, anyone who played Asura's Wrath is still grateful for that.
You forget to mention that Artorias is also left-handed. He fights you with his right. So he is fighting you with his offhand.
"The post game was lacking"
Just the post game?
Chakravartin was definitely an awesome DLC Boss, I still have fun fighting him on my PS3 despite owning a PS4.
Nothing wrong with keeping old consoles to play games you still enjoy.
I haven’t even watched the video and I already know Yozora is going to be on here
Yeah, that was obvious. BUT NOT AS OBVIOUS AS CHAKRAVARTIN BEING ON THE LIST! LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, HE FINALLY FOUND A WAY!!!!!!
As someone who stopped playing Monster Hunter after 4 Ultimate, I'm shocked by how much more complex the Fatalis fight in World is, and still looks just as hard.
Ummm yes we can say. Grimm is a being/bug who literally is a vessel for a higher being called the Nightmare Heart. Which you see in the background Nightmare King Grimm fight. What you are doing if you chose to finish the ritual is. Transferring the Nightmare Heart from Nightmare King Grimm to the Grimm Child. We can see this via the Grimm Childs eyes turning red after the defeating Nightmare King Grimm and the White lady (aka your mom) explicitly telling you so.
"Success then for the scarlet heart, and irony, to use my spawn to grow its own." So in short Grimm is not the god the Nightmare Heart is, the Nightmare Heart is the real power source that makes Grimm "work" and you have to beat Grimm at his strongest to "Burn the father, feed the child... and Burn away the Nightmare King...to dance and die and live forever" and Nightmare king Grimm using the power of the nightmare heart as one last test/part of the ritual. We can tell this by Nightmare King Grimm's dream nail dialogue in god home which reads "Deepest power... the Heart..." and the over all tone and gist of the poem that the Grimm troupe wrote about themselves which I quoted some parts of earlier.
Thanks for the info!
Wait, Dylan Sprouse wasn't exactly the first Disney channel actor they had voicing in one of the Kingdom Hearts games,
HELL TO THE YEAH FOR CHAKRAVARTIN!!!
It's my absolute favorite Final Boss because, honestly? How do you top this, gaming-wise? You get this epic showdown between GODS, destroying moons, planets, suns, and even entire realities in your wake.
Well we already KNOW who’s gonna be number 1 in this
I'd be interested in a penultimate boss countdown from you Josh
The Penultimate boss is often an interesting case.
It could be the one you thought would be your final foe but isn't.
It could be the final round of confidence building you need before the grand climax.
It could be the last loose thread the hero(es) need(s) to tie up before ending the journey.
It could be all of these and more.
I regret nothing for that six minute long Chakravartin entry.
When the top 2 appeared it was easy to know the Chakravardon would be the first
I would argue that Silver Face is unique within the context of Travis Strikes Again. The other bosses you fight are all about dodging the boss's projectiles and closing the distance to spam your hits and specials.
Silver Face, however, rarely ever flinches from hits and primarily uses melee attacks, forcing you to switch strategies to hitting him when he's open from one of his attacks and running away when he retaliates, making him more like a traditional No More Heroes boss than the others.
Did not expect a Warframe reference, but I'm so glad you put one in!
I personally love the Shepherd Clone boss fight at the end of the Citadel DLC, it feels like your fighting Shepherd him/herself with how he/she has all of your classes moves and even heals him/herself with Medi-Gel.
I fought her on Hardcore. As an Engineer. Ouch.
Great list. The DLC boss I found to be very enjoyable is Inner Agent 3 from the Octo Expansion DLC. The fight against him/her is the ultimate test for all Splatoon players.
20:29-20:36 DID HE REALY MAKE A WARFRAME REFERENCE USING VAY HEK?!?!
As far as Ashura’s wrath Goes, the Ryu and Akuma fights were pretty great too
Ya know, I was kinda expecting Void from Kirby Star Allies to show up here. That fight was nuts.
15:00 gets panthion of hallownest flashbacks
seriously, you have to kill powered up versions of every single boss in the game in a row
I called it on Twitter: he made this video so he could finally put Chakravartin on a list.
FINALLY HE GETS TO TALK ABOUT HIM!
Honerable Mention:
Matias Torres, Ace Combat 7 DLC Special Missions.
AC7 was more about navigating a political mess, with misguided insurgents trying to incite another World War in an empty attempt at revenge, with a hint of evolving Artificial Intelligence. And even your rival, Mihaly, was more of an old man suffering end-life crisis, trying to re-live his glory days as an ace. Your rivalry isn't personal to him, he just wants to save his kingdom.
Matias Torres, on the other hand, is an insane egomaniac bent on killing 1 million people in the belief it will "save" 10 million people, and has the suicidal fanaticism of his crew to back him!
And instead of fighting a plane, you're fighting a submersible aircraft-carrier, with in-built railguns and UCAVs to wreak havok on you.
And just before you deal the final blow, he declares "surrender" to buy enough time to launch a nuclear shell at a city! When you're finally able to destabilize his sub to the point of exploding, his Villainous Breakdown is insane to hear, as even till death, he's convinced he's a hero!
Scream and Rage also get an honerable mention IN this honerable mention, simply for having unique dialogue and music depending which you shoot down first!
Edit: Spelling.
7:19 _Crazy Motorcycle Chase intensifies_
I actually suggested DLC bosses as a potential list for Chakravartin during the Lightning Boss countdown last month. I'm sure that's a coincidence since my comment was nowhere near popular and I'm assuming it takes more than a month for these videos, but my first thought before clicking the video this morning was "Chakravartin's on here".
Personal Honorable Mentions :
1. Kabuking from Yo Kai Watch 2
Any fan worth their salt would avoid this fight until they're ready.
2. Hinozall from Psychic Blasters (also Yo Kai Watch 2)
This guy has a move that's literally Full Restore. Prepare to yell swears. Oh and if he summons Gilgaros, you're pretty much dead already.
YESSSSS; 3D PINBALL WAS MY SHIIIIIIT AS A KID!!!
God I'm so happy someone else remembers it too!!
Not gonna lie, some of the sound effects scared me when I was little; probably because they were comparatively pretty loud. Still, it was really fun.
HAHA! RING THE BELLS! CHAKRAVARTIN IS FINALLY ON THE LIST!
Show of hands: who else saw Chakravartin as #1 coming a mile away?
Man, I just finished watching the "Top 10 video game crushes" done by Ari when I got the notification for this. And, HOLY CRAP JOSH!!! You gave DLC a good name here. Now, if I had to guess what your next countdown will be about, I'd say it would have something to do with Minecraft, but I wouldn't know so I'll just have to wait, now won't I? Also, watching the Hollow Knight section finally made me consider getting the game myself. I'm just now trying to think whether if the Switch or Xbox One version will be more worth it (the Switch and Xbox One are the only consoles I have that the game is released on).
@joshscorcher one of your best work yet. Keep up the supercalifragilisticexpialidocious work
I tell you, this wasn't the first time a boss from Asura's Wrath was ranked number 1 on any of your lists.
first bosses
I normally don't play DLC games because I'm often times not in a good position to be able to acquire said games in this manner. I prefer having physical copies and being able to purchase them in-store. With that being said, this was a really good countdown video. Thank you for making it.
Also, on a side note, I really did like how your wife hijacked your last video entitled video game crashes. He has some really good interesting choices and I can totally agree with two of her choices. Since February still going on, it would be interesting if you and your wife could collaborate to make a video of the top 10 best video game couples or possible I'm sure most of your fans including myself would love to see what your top 10 crushes would be. It's interesting to see both your wife and yours opinion as well. I was enjoy you guys as content even though I'm not much of a video game player besides Fire Emblem and Pokemon. ( I was tempted to put FGO on this list, but since it's a mobile game and not a video game, I didn't counted.)
When he brought up Hallow night I knew immediately where this was going and i started fangirlng like crazy And was like "YES!!!!!"
Another Honorable Mention.
Dante, from DMC5. The Vergil DLC mostly spotlighted Vergil, since he'd be the Playable Character that everyone wanted (to the point that, after the main game released, PC players modded the boss itself to be playable.) Vergil's playthrough of the game is quite standard fare, though. It's just a re-tread through all 21 missions in the game (minus variations). However, when you reach Mission 19 and 20, where you'd normally be fighting Vergil as the final boss, you instead get Dante.
Dante normally is scary as hell to fight, especially when he style switches to Royal Guard and slow walks toward you, but becomes absolutely horrifying when you fight him on higher Difficulties like DMD mode, where he starts pulling out tricks even players would probably use against Vergil on a normal run. But that isn't the best part.
When playing the game as Dante and co. you can taunt Vergil, and he'll respond with something somewhat basic. Taunt Dante as Vergil, however, and he'll respond a fair bit more uniquely (and hilariously). This was the DMC4 Dante boss fight turned up to 11, with all of the stops pulled out just for all the Vergil fans out there.
I'd strongly argue Dante was harder in DMC 4 simply because of how Royal Guard was handled. Just like the player, he can switch to it on the fly with no warning and take over half your health instantly with a Royal Release because he can read your inputs and perfect counter them whenever he wants.
In 5 he only uses Royal Revenge, which is far weaker than Release, can be dodged even at point blank and unlike in 4 he doesn't just randomly switch to RG with no warning, he has clear patterns in 5 and you can predict when he will use RG. In 4 he was just pure chaos incarnate.
FINALLY, HE GETS TO TALK ABOUT ASURA'S WRATH'S FINAL CHAPTER IN A GOOD WAY!!!
Still not forgiving you for making it DLC though Capcom!
