Boss Analysis # 8

[@mikeymikesh]

giant enemy crab. attack it with an elevator for massive damage.

[@rainofda0w024]

Love the line for that death "Go to hell"

[@astralstorm8859]

xRainman03x TV I mean, with that amount of pain you are going to hell

[@Xman34washere]

When a spiky elevator falls on you *you're going directly to hell*

[@madokalover]

@@rainofda0w024 i love it too it's like they knew everyone would hate that boss! it's the only boss where she says anything

[@justas423]

2:18 "...especially if they have a fear of chainsaws..." That's called common sense.

[@dmas7749]

they're not exactly practical, but i suppose it's higher on the intimidation factor than a sword or gun

[@metaskully382]

But fear of buzz saws is treason.

[@zaidabusaleem6427]

Lmao literally throw back to that one yahoo ask question

[@azazel831]

"Me and elevators have had our differences in video games." Do you mean DL-6?

[@mattengarde7503]

Poor Edgy :(

[@azazel831]

I agree...wait a fuck arent you in prison?

[@mattengarde7503]

They let me use my laptop in my cell :D

[@azazel831]

Matt Engarde Handy...

[@dio1627]

I think he means the Die Hard trilogy that was in one of his Creepy Time Limit videos. ~Spoilers~ In the first game, after you defeated all of the enemies on one floor, a bomb was set and it gave you 30 seconds to find the elevator in the stage. The music after the bomb was set made it terrifying. Hope this helped. :)

[@Darkarceus101]

21:24 And this was another Sonic Abuse moment, bought to you by Whoisthisgit. XD

[@ruthmcnally310]

22:07 I get a Yveltal vibe from the way that attack looks. "Eggman used Oblivion Wing! Sonic dodged the attack!"

[@kubabakomnene]

ruth mcnally I can just sort of see Yveltal's face combined with Darkrais'.

[@sus4644]

ruth mcnally And so, every living organism died because of a fat, eggshaped man.

[@seant1326]

Eggman isn't important to the plot yet!

[@MatticusMadness]

18:47 I wonder just how many times SEGA used that sound effect.

[@sorceress_nicole]

That skeleton, from this day forth, shall officially be known as "Skeleton Smartypants."

[@Minecraft27Xbox]

[4:39] I love how Shiva went like this: "Panda- *EUAAAAAARGH!*"

[@lucienburton2975]

I don't fear Adam. I fear his death scene. I can't EVER properly watch it or listen to it. It has truly mentally scarred me for life. I don't care if anyone who reads this thinks I'm a wuss. It was THE most horrifying thing in Dead Rising for me. I'm VERY glad Adam's optional, because that means I can play the whole game and never have to see him ever.

[@kanzkat420]

Lucien Burton bitch u havent seen the dead rising 3 fat woman death have u?

[@lucienburton2975]

+Josue Ernesto As of writing that comment, I don't think I had. But even now, having seen the death scene you're referring to, I still stand by what I said. For me, that one was more gross than scary. After all, she wasn't laughing psychotically throughout the whole thing, nor was she being killed by her own *chainsaws*. It's those two reasons right there, as well as the fact that Adam is a clown and I'm scared of clowns (not to the point of caulrophobia, but it's still a real fear for me), are why that Adam's death scene terrifies me.

[@kanzkat420]

Lucien Burton oh so its the phsycological fact Well, ok

[@commanderjames5564]

Lucien Burton I hate all Pysopaths' deaths. They are disturbing

[@kanzkat420]

Commander James my favorite one is the final boss in DR3 when he gits kicked into a helicopter spinning thing

[@Boinkity1]

Is it my imagination or does Brachuyura's voice sound a little like Bowser's current voice?

[@somedudeidfk9250]

@@hopper8514 SHOWTIIIIIME. love that bowser line

[@03kevinmatthew03]

Brachuyura is apparently voiced by Liam O’ Brien, who voiced Asura, Gill from Street Fighter, and *Infinite* from Sonic Forces.

[@no1janembafan]

CHAWWW!! -Brachyura

[@chaosbreaker657]

In the Mega Man Zero games, most of the enemies have a different death animation if finished off with the Z-Saber (or any similar bladed weapon). It shows them sliced in two. Much better in the Japanese version of the games, where blood(?) will spurt out of their bodies when finished off with a bladed weapon. And that also includes a lot of in-game bosses.

[@Londonlink]

I wish newer Megaman games had these types of deaths.

[@CarbonRollerCaco]

The "bleeding"'s stupid, though. Even oil makes little sense; I thought Reploids were all powered by solar energy and fusion. It's just dumb edge.

[@horesfan400]

When Whoisthisgit talked about Adam, i noticed that Frank wear a pajama

[@CanceltheEat]

Bosses with satisfying deaths? How about every boss in Donkey Kong Country Returns? Getting a nice cinematic of your final hit with the boss getting all dramatic as they finally bite it is great enough, but then they let you go absolutely nuts on the Mask guys. The Wiimote rumbles with each punch and you get that satisfying jingle at the end. All the hits sound so meaty. That’s not even to mention the final boss who you kill by punching the moon out of orbit to drop on its head. Great stuff

[@TheRealWalt]

Tbh every bit of damage you do to an enemy or boss in Metroid Fusion is satisfying, what with the little explosion that accompanies each connecting hit and with the sound effect that happens after. God, Metroid Fusion is such a great game. Can't wait for Dread.

[@freshdarkdreams4810]

Crocomire from super metroid. Watching his skin boil off in the lava as he screeches in pain is pretty brutal. Plus his skeleton jumps in from the left of the room and breaks the wall.

[@logguy8538]

Bruh that was terrible to watch for me

[@Chaosian]

As for great boss deaths, I'll always remember the Magician and Emperor from House of the Dead 2 - pretty standard now-a-days, but back then, it was quite epic.

[@obotprime339]

For me, the way Mega Man X bosses explode is pretty awesome, especially when it's Sigma.

[@ColiasPalaeno]

Someone. Please. Make a gif of git hitting sonic with a hammer.

Thanks, mate

[@SAGENT2]

Ugh, Adam's was like something the fucking Joker would do. I shivered.

[@Ristarite]

*GIANT ENEMY CRAB* *HIT ITS WEAK POINT FOR MASSIVE DAMAGE*

[@superluigi6300]

Ristar the Shooting Star genji II is an action game which is based on real japanese history

[@Ristarite]

Super luigi is it about bravoman

[@OhCrapI_He]

...with an ELEVATOR!!!

[@DergSol]

16:05 Is it just me or are all of the characters wearing sunglasses?

[@SleepyRoomba]

7:26 this... THIS IS BEAUTIFUL

[@ethanciotti554]

That Sonic Rush boss music kicks ass! So many Sonic games have awesome soundtracks, we can all agree on that.

[@kekcrocgod6731]

Hideki naganuma is a musical genius, it’s a shame sega hasn’t hired him to do more music for their games.

[@hashtagunderscore4898]

One of my favorite boss "death" animations ( it has one phase after it) is the penultimate boss from Super Cyborg. It's a giant living caldron monster filled with acid, and when you hurt it enough, the acid starts pouring out into the center of the map. Bonus points for Its introduction to its next phase: it's eyeballs pop out of context their sockets and begin and begin to attack on their own, their nerves still connected to their sockets.

[@dumblittleidiot1301]

That game is full of disgusting bosses.

[@NotBenStiller]

You didn't include the Albus Mode voice clip for when you kill the giant crab?!

[@DonnieDoodles]

*"Showtime!"*

[@RedEyeSD]

Yay! Ristar gets a mention! :D Love that game to bits but my God it's so underrated it just isn't fair. :( Anyway once again another fantastic video from you! Keep em' coming. :)

[@Ristarite]

So I'm not the only one who wants Ristar 2? GIMME GIMME GIMME

[@RedEyeSD]

Jeremy Rasmusson Nope, you're not the only one. I too always wanted a sequel but alas it was not meant to be. :( Just got to be grateful Ristar managed to at least develop a Cult Following I guess.

[@Ykskolme]

6:13 That scream reminded me about Alduin from Skyrim when he calls "Sahloknir" quite similar voices, although different tone Heh, maybe Brachyura is really a mudcrab with dragon soul? =D

[@theSato]

Nice video! I love these longer ones (the short ones are great too though!) Only one small thing: some text could use proofreading first, like at 21:30 it says "Only this one is a more effective" ...more effective what? :D Doesn't really detract from my enjoyment of the video though! Thanks for creating&posting :)

[@BigiquaGaming]

Peace Walker from the Metal Gear Solid game of the same name. It gets defeated 3 times. The first time, it gets shot at by a gunship and turns into its quad mode. The second, it goes all insane by you removing its a.I. The third, it gets possessed and walks into the lake nearby.

[@KnakuanaRka]

Also, as for the Brachyura boss: Despite its appearance, the elevator still works; Luminatio is up at the top of the tower. Completely missed it the first time I played.

[@Ristarite]

That hilarious scene where Sonic got bashed with a hammer XD

[@janglur]

I agree with the enemy damage thing, which is why I loved Final Fantasy Mystic Quest, one of incredibly few RPGs where enemies would take visible damage and get fucked up as you wail on them. LOVED seeing the splitting armor, cracked hides, broken weapons, and lopped off limbs and increasingly angry or scared expressions of my foes.

[@mateobonavento3939]

Holy crap, I could never make it that far in Order of Ecclesia because I really suck at that game, but that death was one of the most epic ones I've ever seen from a game.

[@guitarristaexperto45]

18:44 Sonic 3's Super Sonic sound FX?

[@BenjaminGlatt]

YEARS LATER: Brachyura's death is 1,000,000,000% better if he's still only 3/4 of the way up the lighthouse. When the elevator hits him, it's pretty awesome.

[@TheDemoniusX]

8:20 haha! I know that feeling and it happens nearly every time I play super adventure island.

[@DefinitivNichtSascha]

Shovel Knight is also a game that does the slow-motion thing at the end of every boss battle, and it's extremely satisfying.

[@Lighthalzen]

Man, i love yur vids ;P One of the boss deaths that satisfies me the most is from Zeus in God of War 3 ohh man..if you played the game..you must of have filled your screen with blood!

[@acorn5687]

I have a theory on that crab fucker. What if when you damage it it automatically heals itself but it doesn't inform you, and going down the elevator is hte only way to kill it?

[@KhakiCap]

To Sonic Rush: Its Easy for him, but hard 4 you. You know why ? HEEE AINT GOT NOO BOOODYYY !!!

[@unicoransowo1435]

8:00 clock tower reference 9:03 castlevania reference.

[@avcosmoem7124]

i think 9:03 was a cackletta soul reference

[@doubledenial8178]

And Clock Tower isn't the only video game with an annoying elevator, as much as I like it

[@doubledenial8178]

Actually maybe it is a reference I don't know

[@stormz2798]

It took nearly 20 minutes for me to defeat Nightmare X, granted it had been around 4 years since I last played Fusion. But damn, I think I ended up dying more to Nightmare than every other boss in the game, so yeah, it was satisfying to defeat that goddamn monstrosity once again.

[@TheTrueSpyroManRemixes]

Greedy was so irritating to defeat, and getting that beautiful cutscene was absolutely worth all the frustration. BTW, the whole "looks like he's down for the count" trick in the Sonic series probably started with Sonic Adventure with the Egg Viper. I can't tell you how many times I've fallen victim to that trap.

[@Shinobimon]

Damn it! >< When you mentioned damage progression and then Metriod I knew it would be Nightmare! *Shudders* Watching his face melt as you hit him.

[@heardofrvb]

I especially like the Goliath from Order of Ecclesia. Its like he's saying "I HAVE NO REGRETS FOR THE LIFE I HAVE LIVED!!!"

[@chachapandala]

Love the video, and that Monty Python ref! XD

[@WobblesandBean]

Well, now we know the true fate of Graham Chapman.

[@portershepherd8271]

Battletoads arcade has a boss with a unique death scene. It's a giant rat (forgot the name) but every once in awhile after causing enough damage, he will grow huge, try to crush you, than become small again. When you kill him in this state, his belly button pops off, and he will deflate like a balloon, and (from what i remember) he will fly into the distance.

[@spikeynay7381]

They never did find his body

[@larsthememelord3383]

when peeping big closes its eye it lookes like a smile

[@lostkin4281]

3:37 how much tomato soup did he have? That’s a fountain!

[@just-mees]

music, including a great part in the boss's death? hell jeah!!!! and when we're talking about metrod fusion, ah the main sound of the new abbility gain is the most

[@ShadowBaofu]

Goliath's death in Order of Ecclesia is a shout out to Raoh from Hokuto no Ken/Fist of the North Star, so it gets awesome points for that.

[@hyperslime64]

When you were talking about Sonic Rush and Rush Adventure, I thought you would mention the final boss of Colors DS. The final hit is surprisingly cinematic, if a bit chiche (it's the two-lasers-against-each-other style).

[@Alexmaquina2023]

5:06 Some robots or robotized persons: I wish I was programmed to scream

[@madokalover]

my favorite boss deaths are in darius gaiden. the bosses have beams of light shoot out of them like god himself is about to deliver them to hell, then they blow up so hard the whole screen in engulfed in a psychedelic flaming lightshow. and the level clear music that plays after is just heavenly ^^ thisis another game where the bosses visibly take damage during the fights too, its awesome (they change color and start exploding)

[@MegaSaga7]

Gta has had some cool bosses deaths, like falling off a building, catching on fire and screaming, crashing a fire truck and slowly dying, or just a great headshot.

[@andrewaftontheandroidhedge2780]

i love bosses that look more damaged wen damaged aka actully showing damage to them like being more broken or looking hurt

[@trunksrocks1]

I remember one day.. I played Final Fantasy 3 on a Super Nintendo emulator, right when I hit Kefka one last time my laptop shut down because the battery got too low..

[@filipmelzacki9969]

Oh crap. I'm sorry.

[@trunksrocks1]

Filip Melzacki And to this day, I still haven't beat the game..

[@notspoileratall5471]

yes... YES!!! BRACHYURA OMG i completely understand you man! a hard boss and an AWESOME and satisfying death *SHIOOOO*

[@mattsopiratoso790]

Super Sonic Form and Golden Axe 3 sounds are fom Ristar... A whole new world just open to me

[@SullivanBurke777]

I cackle every time I hear that comment from Shanoa. ...I need to buy that game, considering she's only one of three (?) lady main characters in the Castlevania series. :D

[@DAVID4GAMER]

wow i didnt saw those 2 sonic games for the DS, awesome PS. have you seen the final boss of the hack game brutal mario, its quite a parody, the 8 bowsers sons all togheter in a bizarre fusion, but their death is epic.

[@Spock1777]

I can't be the only one who thinks the crab in Castlevania sounds like Bowser

[@shadowlightnign]

I don't know about you, but the death scream of the main character in Equinox kinda creeped me out when I first played it.

[@andrewmiller5126]

Oh yes! Brachyura! I really loved that one! I remember playing that game all the time back in high school.

[@cetais]

That reminded me of all those bosses death in La-Mulana, they are really worth it.

[@lincolnmiller4757]

16:17 Kefka: I don't feel so good...

[@user-rg4wl4ex3h]

16:51 Hah! Who's the Fallen One now, Kefka?!

[@philipgutierrez2999]

6:02 Is that a Monty Python reference?

[@Mattrules64]

I like Sonic Colours' final boss death the wisps gather around Sonic and grants him final colour blaster (which is basically a homing attack with the base power of explosion mixed in with skittles probably a bad explanation) that you use to hit Eggman's machine so hard it goes flying backward and bounces across the floor and the pilot (Eggman) get's ejected into the background and a firework goes off with an explosion shaped like his symbol during the ending you get to see where he landed.

[@janehuskmann1914]

I completely agree with the last part and hope that Lub Lub himself meant it.

[@OMGrobloxandweird]

Oh god. Here we go again~

[@janehuskmann1914]

What's a god? *Tilts my filly head curiously.*

[@OMGrobloxandweird]

Something that belongs to a certain religion that you worship. Not really belongs, but more like of something to worship and idolize.

[@janehuskmann1914]

Well, then I guess that Princess Celestia is god, heheh...

[@OMGrobloxandweird]

Nah, she's a ruler. *Teleports away*

[@infernoman999]

Did you know that in Marvel vs Capcom 3, Frank's theme is Adam's boss theme but sped up a bit.

[@graffiti9145]

There are many great boss deaths on the Metal Slug Series

[@MadmanEpic]

Wow. Man, you must play Intrusion 2. This is what the first boss is like: Phase 1: Boss breaks bridge and you shoot it's rocket on snowy cliff while boss smashes at you and sends out baddies. Ends with cliff being broken, landing on lower cliff. Phase 2: Like Phase 1, but shooting at turret and with 100% more LAZORS. Ends with cliff broken, landing on landing pad. Phase 3: Boss flies with big rocket and small rocket only, shoot small rocket. Boss tries to crush you with large hand and sends baddies. Ends with boss nearly falling. Phase 4A: Boss barely in air, still punching. JUST RUN. Ends with boss actually falling. Phase 4B: Boss barely alive, DRAGGING ACROSS PLATFORM, RIPPING IT APART AS IT GOES. Shoot cockpit. Ends with boss reaching edge. Phase 4C: Shoot the crap out of cockpit while boss tries to grab you and throw you off cliff/smash you. Ends with massive explosion and start of next stage. If you are wondering about the next stage, you use part of the bosses armor as a snowboard as you slide down the mountain, shooting at the pilots in their floating ejector seats and dodging grenades thrown by snowboarding ninjas and massive worms that will scare the living crap out of you at first. Yep.

[@hawkecrail5186]

Intrusion is one of those things that are a game but not a game. Something feels weird calling it a game, knowing it is but isn't. Besides, you kind of exaggerate the epic ness. There are lots of multistage bosses you know

[@MadmanEpic]

How is it _not_ a game?

[@hawkecrail5186]

MadmanEpic Its a game, oh yes and a good one at that. But, there's something about the experience of Intrusion that feels empty. Meh, doesn't matter much.

[@TheDiego908]

21:09 if you thought that was bad, wait until you play Sonic Heroes...

[@coolpig3859]

I don't get the crab thing

[@qwertybear.7120]

[@GoldDragon20]

I think the reason that Ristar was included with Mega Collection Plus was because of how similar they were

I didnt played that final fantasy game and i still fel that feeling

Didn't Ooe make a Twinbee reference at one point?

[@DH2007able]

Epic scream voice system indeed.

[@Spock1777]

All I could think of at 5:54 was "Spooky Scary Skeletons"

[@hhog9303]

One other boss that comes to my mind which gradually shows when he takes damage would be Dr. Tongue, from Zombies (ate my Neighbours).

[@arkany9567]

And the death of the bosses in DQIX? oh my

[@JupiterNoose]

In Kung Fu on the NES, whenever you (Thomas) or a boss gets killed, they fall and make an awesome "WAH-AH-AH-AH-AH" sound.

[@rirtime]

[@RetroJourneyCreators]

Actually Ristar was made BY the Sonic Team, so there is no reason as to why there isn't a sequel. I guess his brother was getting the spotlight while he was going around grabbing... things....

[@RocketSlime21]

Altered beast also has satisfying death animations

[@zapperil]

Interesting things ; bring Locke on Kefka fight and have him equip Valiant Knife and Master's Scroll. Heartless Angel brings everyone's HP to 1. Locke's Valiant Knife gets stronger the lesser HP Locke has. Multiply that by four and add quick to the mix.

[@Dudeman23rd]

[@TrueChaosLord]

Oh God No

[@hen6257]

3:18 even him got grossed of the death

[@Lore_XiV69]

didnt understand the meme reference in the crab boss of castlevania

[@Luigiofthegods]

There's a trope known as "Giant Enemy Crab", commonly associated with "Attack Its Weak Point For Massive Damage!". I don't know too much about it, so go to TVTropes of you want info on it.

[@dudebrogaming8886]

Bit of a late reply, but it came from a game showcase, maybe E3. Since it was mentioned, it became a meme, meaning that you will be hard pressed to find a game that has no crab enemies in them.

[@Poglavnit_Pferdefuhrer]

Check out Sky Soldiers some time, good old retro style shooter You have to blow up all the firing parts *PLUS* punch a certain amount of holes in the fuselage/wings, pretty neat, shame no one else did it. Only the first boss is "standard" There's only one boss type enemy in Strikeforce by Midway, but it's quite intense and spews pieces everywhere! (Same team that made Smash TV and Total Carnage) so give that a try too.
