"Do I look unconquerable to you?"
*Me on my 87th attempt* : Just a bit
same here xD
*Holding back tears* : no
I beat everyone else in 3 tries this guy took HOURS
NOT A BIT ****
The only boss I struggled with was the angel lady because I suck at bullet hell
>has two swords, only uses one
"Man, can't wait to see him fight with dual katanas"
>grabs oar
"Scuse me?"
If you look closely, he pulls the other sword out during his parrying attacks.
And he will best your ass with it. What a fucking legend
That's because he was based off samurai, who also don't often draw their second sword, unless using it for specific skills
Actualy the whole character is the reference to Miyamoto Musashi, who invented that dual sword style (and was sucsessfuly using it, so it was not just for show), and also beated Sasaki Kojiro with and OAR.
@@Agentnewbie man, this is something, thanks a lot, interesting learning about a historical figure that was at the total top of his game. DANG
I'm convinced this dude was actually just a really determined kayak enthusiast. He spent some of that eternity screwing with katanas just to fake you out. His true weapon of choice, the deadliest weapon of all, even topping your graphene sci-fi energy blade, the almighty oar.
It's not the choice of weapon that matters, but the skill with said weapon.

That and enemies that have a sort of respect for the protagonist, no matter what side of the ass kicking they're on.
not gonna lie so am i
edit: hey that kinda rhymes (if you say it a particular way)
The ebony warrior is a perfect example of this.
Haha explosion 💥
very relatable
Speaking of which, doesn’t the edge give off MASSIVE jetstream Sam vibes?
"Do i look unconquerable to you?" These words sticked with me through the rest of the game. Especially on The star
I didn't care for that boss because it changed the combat system, it made it feel clunkier and slower. I did enjoy the music though.
Agreed. My initial thoughts after he says those words are 'Hell no!'
Really helped with the rest of the fight.
FOCUS....!
to me not as much as previous line, almost the opposite in fact, when i heard that line i thought "if i've already defeated the Burst, Manus and Yukari i can defeat you too" and then i've proceeded to die against his wawe attack... then i've tried again... and again... and i won, still a good fight anyway, not tremendously hard, yet not straightforward too
My favourite line from him is
"Come on, give me something memorable ! Something i can learn from, something that will make me better"
Since i met that boss i have one phylosophy when playing to any vidéo game, if i am not perfect, i made a mistake,if i made a mistake, i will take note of it and not do it again so in the end i can reach perfection
That's a little bit extrême but i always Apply that when playing a video game, this prevent myself from raging and allow me to improve much faster :3
I think the most fantastic thing about this fight is that they coupled his obscene amount of attack power with the shortest healthbar in the game. You can literally defeat any of his phases in a single attack if you do it right. It's a proper samurai duel. Over in a flash... one way or another.
And he takes about 4.5 health bars with each hit, so it's equal.
@@xaracen7207 saaaaaame!!!!
Linx, nice to meet you here 🥺
A very short fight if you know what you're doing, nothing short of something memorable tho.
I’ve been getting really into this game recently because I saw it was on sale. Turns out you can actually beat him in five hits. After each of his wave/beam attacks it gives you just enough time to charge. If you can maintain it you can smack him and he’ll go down in one shot for phases 1-3. Phase 4 takes two charges but it is significantly easier to find a window to charge due to the long charge time on the blast of the 6 or seven parry attack.

MGRR has Jetstream Sam

@@xaracen7207 I could go on but it's a really common trope and honestly a great one
@@jimbomclimbo7467 when done well, yeah, it absolutely rules!
Imagine those 4 in a fight
Yes, because nothing says absolute power like dropping your sword in place of an oar.
And using said oar to summon fucking FIRE.
And then kicking your ass a lot harder with the oar.
fun fact this fight is a reference to the fight between Miyamoto Musashi and Sasaki Kojiro in samuri history
was my thought exactly. =)
The oar isn't a power upgrade, he even states it, it's to make him unpredictable, harder to parry and counter. It's almost a challenge and an insult combined.
This is a guy that is able to not ironically say "While you pondered and studied a means of escape, I studied the blade."
yea because thats litterally what happened
studied the oar*
Because he isnt some edgelord, he's just really passionate about fighting, that he would spend the eternity training
@@_laryssa I don't see the difference between him and a neckbeard besides skill.
@@barghest94 he can talk to people
"Man, wouldn't an all melee boss be easy?"
after the fight:
"I take it back"
Nope, Paddle King knows no fear ;_;
Me: Ha these fucks always think they can go toe to toe with me. I'M THE PARRY KING! I wish some guy would try me on an all melee fight!
The Edge: I see you are enjoying a bowl of your favorite cereal...Excuse me while I shit in it.
Have a good day! :)
Actually, I'd say that the second part of the Hand, where he's glowing gold and is invincible, and constantly attacks you, parrying every attack in that phase is harder than anything that the Edge does.
+Rainbow Bunchie Nah I did that pretty easily.
+Quilva Why would you play easy?

@@onewiseboi6008 "what would you do if you had an eternity to do nothing but wait? Do you keep busy, do you daydream, do you freakout? He trained." I'm pretty right, nigga.
@@14caratgolddong58 first that it's wrong, second, the line "pass the time?" is cringy for me bcs I know the real lines, it's just that this guy is trying to write those lines but they are wrong so yeah xD
@@14caratgolddong58 yeah well, you used it in your comment so correct.
I fucking love this boss. He's the most dudebro one of them all. He beats your ass, and instead of gloating like the others, what does he do? He says he's beatable, that _you can do it._ He *wants* to see you succeed, to surpass him.
I'm sure that's not the truth, he doesn't want you to lose.
He wants a fight worthy of a goddamn legend.
No matter the outcome he wants you to go all out, to push yourself to your limits, to give him, something memorable B)
"You have more strength than you think. Try and stay with me through this."
Jaded Mask Really not sure why he was trying to encourage a mass murderer to a fair fight. Unless Ryder didn’t slaughter people unless they attacked him first, I’m not sure why the Edge would be so polite and encouraging.
All The Edge wanted was to fight The Rider, that's why they put him as the 'real' final boss (since everyone knew that if The Edge failed then The Beat would be no match) but with that being said, if your entire purpose in life was to fight 1 guy would you want that fight to end quickly? After spending an eternity waiting?
@@TheFlyingPilgrim I think Edge is a reflection of what obsession does to the brain. He trained and trained and trained to defeat an incoming threat... and doing so lost sight of the big picture.
Edge may have started out wanting to defeat Rider, but the absurd amount of time he spent training to do just that, it changed him. And in the end he just wanted a glorious fight. No matter who won. Probably because if he wasn't given a truly memorable experience, he would feel all his time and training was wasted
@@Krawna That’s a good analysis and interpretation of the character.
@@TheFlyingPilgrim i always thought he didnt care about the world, he just wanted to have the fight of his life. If he even knew the world existed.
This is inspired of the Miyamoto Musashi/Kojiro Sasaki duel, the most skilled japan's swordman. Miyamoto was recognized for his two swords ability. On the island where the fight takes place, Miyamoto finaly killed Kojiro by grabing an boat oar then hit him in his head.
(forgive my bad english)
I feel like the Guardians are based off Historical figures.
Actually, the story is that he forgot his swords, but was already rowing his boat to the island where he would be dueling Kojirou. So, he carved himself a new wooden sword from one of the oars.
@@TheMustardMan8 he actually intended to bring his makeshift weapon, because kojiro used a nodachi, which is way longer than an ordinary katana, so musachi made himself the oar sword to compensate for the reach advantage that kojiro had
I see you are a man of culture as well...
B O N K
I was really hyped after killing The Burst, i wanted to see how were the other remaining guardians, and after hearing the story of The Edge i was like "He is gonna be THE non-final boss that feels like a final boss right?"
When i saw that he was basically a recolor of myself, i confirmed that i was gonna get absolute destroyed.
Anubis Cerberus I thought there would be no way I could defeat the beat after the edge but the game took pity
@@liamdonnelly6854 The Beat wasn't the threat during that fight, though. It was the giant ass laser cannon she had behind her that was the threat, and she was the one controlling it.
Well, if you chose to assimilate the planet, he IS the final boss
Is always the mirror fights the ones to be the most difficult.
@@sirius6738 hehehehehehehehe Flame go brrrrrrrrrr
You move well. You're reading me rather quickly.
LET'S SEE HOW PREDICTABLE YOU THINK I AM NOW.
*Forgoes purity of melee combat and starts spamming projectiles.*
Yah dishonorabru jerk.
*flashes with the same timing for every parry*
still pretty predictable
**grabs 18 inch dildo**
_HOW PREDICTABLE DO YOU THINK I AM NOW?!_
FOCUS!
It was a fucking quest getting the 'Win a Guardian fight without being hit once' achievement on this guy.
Figured he was probably the easiest to do it on, still took about a day and a quarter of play.
Also, I heard "Nice" a lot.
Actually I think that is easier with The Beat. All of her phases were really easy in my opinion.
+ i lost 6 days of my life for this, but this was awsome
If I was an achievement hunter I'd do that one on the hand
Got that achievement with the chain. He was the least bullet hell reliant guy and I pretty much memorized everything from trying to get A and S on both difficulties.
@@cyberlof4135 The Edge never uses projectiles, though

Yes.

@@cardboardhawks6783 yes, a gamefruit fan
"I heard that you like parrying" - "No. I dont" - "After this battle you will"
Same here XD I loved the Edge
You have to use : parrying
Then the star will make you forget all of that and throw you back into the bullet hell you thought you escaped.
And once you learned how to parry and how to dodge, then you are ready for furier.
Where do I get game?

It seems kind of rude to put this guy right after The Burst's final phase. I was way too damn twitchy to deal with any of his fakeouts.
I think that was the point
Yea that was the point. Simply to get ya.

The Edge took Dark Souls memes too seriously.
Extra-oar-dinary.

Underrated comment
That’s a paddling
Mem-oar-able fight.
Reading this hurt me like that multi-wave attack.
Excellence is not an art, it's pure habbit. We are what we repeatedly do.
- I'm the master of going through phase 1-3 now. Thank You, Edge
Neodyinamite fuck me up phase 4
I beat him in phase 1-3 first try and then Phase 4 came around and fucked me 6 times in the span of 90 seconds.
One year later
Thank you edge for making me the king of parrying
i can do the phase 1-2 whit one hit kill
Just play in furier mode, you will literally get 2 shot lol
"Do I seem unconquerable to you?"
Love this guy so much.
You quoted that wrong
@@sephimaru2198 Sounds right to me.
@@Krystalmyth No, he says "Do I look unconquerable to you?", not "seem".
He Trained.
Love that line, after the Voice was talking about what would you do if you had an eternity to do nothing but wait, and then "he trained". For someone who has been training for eternity, that's quite a strong mental picture.
Yeah and someone that everybody killed in 1 or 2 try
That makes me laugh even more
yeah.......
Still, it's a better fight than The Beat.
The Edge was as easy as the Chain for me.
Memories broken, the truth goes unspoken...I've even forgotten my name.
That's all I heard through this fight.
I don't know the season, or what is the reason I'm standing here holding my blade.
A desolate place, without any trace, it's only the cold wind I feel.
It’s me that I spite, As I stand up and fight,The only thing I know for real, There will be blood-shed,The man in the mirror nods his head
The only one, left
Will ride upon the dragon's back
*Because the mountains don't give back what they take*
if you talk about the lyrics we wrotes its from metal gear rising revengeanc
I really love how fair this fight is. Unless he's in the middle of an animation or is staggered, he can avoid damage by blocking, but so can you. It takes about 4 to 5 hits for him to defeat you, and guess how many hits it takes for you to kill him? 5. Some of the small differences are given considering how he is a boss, but either way, I love how equal this fight feels. No bullet hell, no tons of shockwaves you have to rapidly dodge. Just a battle of skill and timing.
it truly is the closest to a PVP battle in Furi
@@LukeProduciones i really think if this game had pvp, it shouldnt be bombastic or hyper intense, this is what it should be, this boss battle but its two players
@@LukeProduciones Oh WOW what a missed opportunity PVP would have been in this game..

Something people don't seem to pay much attention to is the fact that The Edge withers and corrupts the world around himself in his final phases. The implication seems to be that they've reverse-engineered some aspects of your existence and he's gone through with having them tacked onto himself to be your equal.
He's decided you are his final goal and nothing else matters beyond that duel. People who think he's a tragic figure don't really understand his dedication.
My interpretation was he was formerly another of the scouts sent down who defected to the side of the planet
@@jammish9802 He's definitely not. You can see in his concept art that he's a cyborg, and he looks nothing like the scouts, which all look exactly the same.
@@revlarmilion9574 I've never seen the concept so I was not aware of that part. And with the other point, I kinda figured it'd be a "i need to differentiate myself" sort of thing. I'm aware it's all a bit of a stretch, but the "only told what you need to know to fight" nature of the story had me make all sorts of elaborate theories (not a criticism of the game at all. Overly elaborate and out there theories are my jam)
@@jammish9802 Ah yeah, you unlock it in-game, if you're curious. You get a version for beating a boss and a more detailed version by beating them in the more difficult mode. It's pretty worth it just to look at the designs and theorize, as you said
The Rider and The Edge is basically Raiden vs Sam.
Goku Vs. Vegeta.
Sonic Vs. Shadow
Naruto Vs. Sasuke.
If only The Edge survived his battle with Rider to become a powerful ally in one way or another. :c
That ending. Epic mid-air samurai clash, one of them falls over delayed.
And as he fell down, the Edge thought, "wait why did I try to do that with an oar? the fuck was I thinking?!"
My bets are on "ow... totally worth it".
Knowing The Edge, he was probably just glad to die in such an epic way
"I waited all this time only for fighting you. GET PADDLED SON"
Moment when this guy drops swords for fucking oar.... you know you're going to get fucked.
The edge: hope you got good at the melee system :)
me: fuck.
Him: Since my swords wont kill you, i will have to shoot fireballs instead
Me: Fuck this sh*t im out
+Daniel Freitas XD so fucking true.
Everytime I got to the boat oar stage I said to my self "Aight focus nigga!" xD
+Kroatowa Then the star: Hope you remember how to dodge and shoot! :^]
+Diego Ortega Bruh! Yes!
"What would you do if had an eternity to do nothing but wait? Do you keep busy, do you daydream, do you freak out?
He trained."
And that's when I knew this guy was gonna kick my ass.
My interpretation of this character, based on the in-game info and stuff:
1) Rider arrives/crashes on planet ruining towns and killing people.
2) Rider gets subdued, people realise his op regeneration powers and enact a plan to imprison him for indefinite ammount of time, until they figure things out.
3) A call for guardians is made, "top-notch killers and fighters", as The Voice mentions. People who would be strong enough to 1v1 him if needed to.
4) A certain aspiring "hero", gets accepted as one of the guardians. Prison is built.
5) Having been a witness to martial prowess that rider has, seeing all the damage he brought, realising his "outsider/alien" (The Stranger) status, this guardian becomes obsessed with him.
6) He adopts/tries to simulate rider's combat style while at the same time desiring to upstage him in it, basically become this planet's "version" of rider, but better in everything. Hence his visual similiarities, even head/chin accessory.
7) As time passes by, he adopts the name/becomes known as The Edge.
8) As rider battles The Edge, guardian reluctantly realises that he can't beat rider at his own game after all. So, being a weapons master he is, he decides to use his original/older style he has been known for/accepted as guardian in the first place. Welcome the oar coupled with fiery attacks.
Nope you are wrong, He's a Rider just like our character, check his armor, his sword and his hair, all the same, and in the game, when you're on the verge of die, and if u parry, your armor will turn to red like him, but it's because he trains himself for years, and like said the Voice, he's immortal (just like us)
Arnetheus Solitarius vic
Nox "Nope you are wrong" what a dick thing to say. He's theory is actually makes sense while you bring up something easily disproved by the final boss of the game
Arnetheus Solitarius this is proved wrong by dialogue and end game lore, but great theory nonetheless!
Lucky Melancholy How so?
"Excellence is not an art, it's pure habit. We are what we repeatedly do."
Probably the most memorable fight for me, along with the sniper. lol
At first I thought he was going to dual-wield halfway through and make parrying a pain... But then he dropped the sword.
Little did you know the sword was only the training session
the oar is the real lesson
Definitely a callout to the duel between Miyamoto Musashi and Sasaki Kojiro.
I did Tae Kwon Do when I was in my early teens (I wasn’t very good). Fighting this guy brought me back to the feeling of going into a spar with my old instructor.
“Try and stay with me through this.”
“FOCUS!”
“I want nothing but your very best.”
Pretty sure that duel with your instructor was harder than this boss.
oh
"Do I look unconquerable to you?"
me who died 97 times: "fuck no"
"You're reading me quite quickly..."
*Sheathes sword, picks up oar*
"Lets see how predictable you think I am now!"
If I hadn’t spoiled myself on every aspect of this game, i feel like I would’ve had a genuine pogchamp moment.

I really enjoyed this fight. Even losing time after time, I wasn't upset; this boss is so charismatic that I felt respect for him.
Superb boss fight.
Dude takes away 40% of my health in one attack but i didn't care because the fight was so fucking good.
Absolutely love the "we both know we are fighting against ourselves" because his attacks... are not lightning quick, he gives you full chance to process they are coming... which is the problem, he beats you down because you snap react to his flourishes, to the point where they entirely become feints. You also cannot take things too quickly, attacking when it isn't safe is an insane risk and may just be what he needs to start a beat down, even if you do a full combo is entirely impossible and if you keep hitting him you will end up dead again. He is not your opponent, you are your own opponent
This man's probably been training even before he's become a guardian; likely somehow blessed with eternal life thanks to technology.
Probably capable of slicing mere humans in pieces with one stroke, he's likely grown bored, waiting for an opponent.
He likely was even more frustrated to know that he was the very last guardian. So he worried that his training would be for naught.
Luckily, you respected his wish for a worthy foe.
"In hindsight, maybe doing this dramatic leap and slashing each other... with an Oar.. was not the... brightest.... ideaaa"
This guy teaches you to play Sekiro good.
This is my favorite fight in the game. Because unlike most of the bosses where the odds are against you or the odds are in your favor. The edge feels like your fighting an opponent equal in skill and power.
circle button the boss fight
ikr the only buttons you needed were circle and square
Hardly need square
"Where you must occasionally press square so this doesn't go on forever"
"Oh! You got parried and died? Should have pressed circle..."
countering made this boss easy
Not entirely true, you had to dodge a lot during the last phase.
Excellence isn't an art, it's pure habit. We are what we repeatedly do
That one guy who supports you more than your parents
I wish if there is a version where you hear the edge talking shit to you throughout the music
The song could go with literally every epic duel in media history.
Whenever I was on any previous boss, or any after (besides the Beat) I felt angry, whenever I was killed or hurt. I felt mad. They just keep goading me with every shot, being condescending, unrelenting assholes, a constant torrent of shit-talking coming out of their mouth. On the Edge, I felt defeated. He was so fucking chill. So cool about everything, yet he absolutely dunks my shit in on every fight. But he constantly cheers you up, motivates you, pushes you forward. "Try to stay with me through this."
He was one of the three (being the Voice, the Beat, and him) who pushed me on to keep going against the hardest boss I've faced, after constantly dying over and over again. "Excellence is not an art, it's pure habit. We are what we repeatedly do."
R.I.P. Paddle Daddy. I hope he's happy that in death, he saved the world.
"Give me something memorable, that I can learn from, that will make me better"
He says this even during his desperation phase, he doesn't want to win, he wants you to surpass him, he can only reach further if faced with someone better than him. He was given infinite time, and he used it to train. Finally dead, you know for damn sure the first thing he would have done in the great beyond is continue to improve, patching up all the weaknesses the Stranger found and then waiting for his next challenge
I love fair duel bosses. The edge, owl, gundyr. Take the player character, give it an ai and all the mechanics to it, and you get a great battle.
What are the other two from?
@@Model_BT-7274Sekiro and Dark Souls 3
Seriously, though, how long do you think he spent training with the sword before he looked over at the oar and thought, "Sure, let's spice it up a little."
"Let's see how predictable you think I am now !"
Charged attacks, perfect parries, combos...
I JUST WANNA OAR FOR GOD'S SAKE!
This game is a real experience. And this is one of my favourite boss. And it's amazing to see that you're perfecting your counter moves thanks to him.
Its like he was training you for harder fights.
Yeah, I agree totally! Now I'm beating the shit out of him when i'm doing Speedrun Mode. Actually, I did a time of 51 minutes at my third attempt. I need to practice a little more to do a sub 45min if possible. But now, countering is a piece of cake! :p
While that is very true I don't see the reason not to put him after the chain
Kyugorn
to make speedrun mode more stressful
I love the background story telling in this boss fight and the one after it. its like they expected you (the in game charter) to fight this guy and die and the way the boss after him reacts is almost like she never ever planned for you to get to her but this dude was prepping all his life to fight just you for some reason and the girl after him is just some random chick.
" I want nothing but your very best"
I get half solar ash, hyper light drifter, workout vibes when listening to this.
I haven't played Furi, but I do want to. I also had a voice in my head that spoke to me after I figured out The Edge's nature.
"This fight, it's just you and me. No gimmicks, no bullshit. Just you, me, and a dance to the death. I may not be the strongest, but that doesn't mean I weak either. Remember this, no one is truly invincible. No matter how many times they beat you down, you need to get back up, smile at them and ask for seconds."
for a guy who ditches 2 katanas for an oar i have to admit he's kick ass with it
Am I the only one who felt like he was the Jetstream Sam to our Raiden.... even though we are the villian of this story
More like - he is the Raiden to our Jetstream Sam.
I really really love that this fight felt more like a real martial arts duel than a boss fight. As a martial artist myself, it really made me happy. How simple techniques like feints can really bring you out of the comfort zone.
This was by far the most enjoyable fight. Either you fully read his full set of moves or you won't make it, unlike the others where you could tank some hits as a strategy for massive damage or faster times.
"let's see how predictible you think I am now."
Eh still predictible
"Try to stay with me through this"

This fight... i just... when i first got here i was hyped after beating the Burst, and looking forward to another agonising challenge. Then he appears, the music kicks in and my evening was very much spent. Such a good boss.
"Do I look unconquerable to you?" those words got me through the Star boss fight I needed to honor the Edge
"Watch me."
After first attempt: This one is pretty easy compared to the others, i should be done in a few tries.
after 100th attempt: YES! YOU ARE FUCKING UNCONQUERABLE!!!!!
"Excellence is not an art. It's a pure habit." The Edge
The tedium of eternity can only be matched by an equally endless task
Self improvement it matters not how good you are now only that you put effort into surpassing yourself tomorrow
This boss fight makes me feel sorrow, because it was so good the first time through, when you enter the trance state and really get into it with this guy whose whole life is this one fight. And now, I've played through it so many times, but I never got that first time when I beat it.
I love how games like Furi and Sekiro are so hard on a first playthrough but by the end you've clearly grown in skill. The boss took me so many tries my first time but when I go back to the game I can beat him pretty easily and it just makes you feel so badass
Seriously I love the type of games where you're the one who gets better at the game, not your character. You don't deal more damage, you don't find better weapons you just getting gud
I loved this game didn't like Sekiro. The way Furi does difficulty always makes me feel like I'm improving and progressing whereas Sekiro just says "fuck off and go fight these same monsters for the tenth time to get back to where you were and then die right away once you get back". It just wasn't fun, I didn't feel like I was progressing, no rush of combat, just annoyance. Furi never annoyed me a single time, nothing ever felt unbeatable. Not because it's easier but because it's designed better.
@@close_your_eyes8185 Eh I'm going to give Sekiro another shot. Every death was a screwup I happened to make. I just need to hone my skill. But for now, I'll stick with Ds3 and Bloodborne.
@@close_your_eyes8185i could prob guess you were stuck in the burning ashina castle because the runbacks in sekiro are really forgiving. Please give it another try, thats the only instance of that happening and you are losing out on a masterpiece.
You know it's going to be bad when the boss is basically a recolor of you.
I've always wondered what it would be like if The Edge was playable, with the amount that it is reinforced that the two of you are easily matched and even the similarity of his design with the Rider's.
The most supportive boss ever.
This fucker, THIS FUCKER. He whooped my ass countless times. It infuriated me to no end, though I had no right to be. He just kept encouraging me to do better each time. The best boss I've fought yet.
Definitely the best boss in Furi. He's got a simple, but great arena, with a slight change in the next phase. Changes up his arsenal in said next phase, so it's different and unexpected. When you do down, he doesn't talk down but gives words of encouragement, trying to get you to fight at your best. And the music, it's way more somber than the last boss with it's high octane action, so this is a welcome surprise. He's still leagues better than the last 2 bosses... yeesh.
I found the burst waay harder than him, imo, the fight is amazing, but quite easy except for the phase where he spams this near undodgable attack with the paddle.
what do you mean ""near undodgable" ? It's not that hard to do it hitless (because you don't really have the choice, he hits like a truck), I don't get what you're talking about
exactly
Throughout the game the biggest lines "Excellence is not an art, it's pure habit. We are what we repeatedly do." and "Do I look unconquerable to you?"
Every attempt, every hit was not failure... but an Opportunity, to learn, to do better, to train, to ultimately perfect the craft.
ain't gonna lie, never played furi, but DAMN that game has a hell of a soundtrack, to be fair, this one is one of my favorites ost's in all games, my immagination goes reeeeally far when i play this in my headphone...
It's even better playing the game. I'm still stuck on this guy but it's very fun and the music is what got me to play it in the first place.
I also played Furi purely because I heard the music from it. I knew nothing about the game when I started it, and it's still one of the best games I've ever, ever played.
THIS song makes me feel like that I can 1 v 1 the sun
Even though I got the living shit beat out of me,I love this boss,it pushed me to go beyond my limits and challenge myself,it really gave me..
Something Memorable
This fight pushed me to get better overall. That feeling of accomplishment when you beat this guy after parrying through the whole fight
You have been visited by the Motivational Paddle Samurai, type 'Nice!' in the comments to be blessed with determination and perfect parries.
Nice!
Nice!
Nice!
''You're pretty good!''
nice!
Kojiro tooks his revenge I guess.
So was his time spent mastering the Way of the Sword, or the Way of the Oar?
noonethatspecial Both apparently... :/
He was like "oh man I can't wait to fight this legendary Raider dude, I should train tho. Fuck I lost my sword and i can't waste any time, what do we have here. Oh, an oar."
Due to all the oars on the beach leading up to him, I'd definitely say the Oar.
The oar was actually a reference to musashi. He supposedly carved a wooden sword from an oar during a boat trip to an island, which he then used for a duel on the shore. Which is why the oar phase takes place on a dock.
A sword is more than just a blade.
The hand made me learn to parry.
The edge forced me to perfect it.
I might be wrong here, but it looks like The Edge was based at least in part off of Miyamoto Musashi, a famous Japanese swordsman who, in one of his most famous duels, killed his opponent with a sharpened oar. Food for thought, I suppose.
I see a lotta people say that he should've used 2 katana for the second phase instead of just an oar, BUT
1: his design is based on what samurais looked like, and they always had 2 katana, each one for a different purpose, they were NOT supposed to be dual wield
2: the second phase occur on a tight but long space, and in that type of space, range is the best thing you can ever have! Because they cant go around you, you only have to care about what's forward. And since a oar have far better range than a katana, it's actually better in this set
3: if you've gotten through the first phase, it mean that he got predictable to you and you managed to parry most of it's attacks, and since he switch weapon he also switch it's whole set of animation attack, making him unpredictable again!
It might sound weird or dumb but it wasnt a bad idea at all!
Also: just because a wooden oar cannot slice or cut doesnt make it a worth weapon, in fact you can use it's weight to use it as a sort of war hammer and/or push your adversary around easily
for your second point, you're drastically underselling the massive advantage that is range in a fight. there's a reason polearms were the main weapons of war for thousands of years.
@@VimyGlide im not, i actually said that the fact he get extra range with the oar make em extra powerful, especially in the kind of setup the second fight occured in
