V is literally stronger than Adam Smasher whether you use the anime or game version. I don't know why y'all cope that Anime Adam Smasher is making a difference against a dying V that can even use a dildo to obliterate Adam Smasher, it's just not fair, you're better off comparing Morgan Blackhand to Adam Smasher, David has literally abilities Adam Smasher doesn't have yet still lost, V was dying like D yet without an exoskeletonhe outright obliterated smasher, V is just that OP, whether you like or not, there's a reason why he's considered a greater legend. Adam Smasher wasn't even nerfed in the game, nor buffed in the anime, it's just that when it comes to characters like V, Smasher is just a minor inconvenience to his story.

I read a Cyberpunk fic a few months ago that went fairly in depth with the borg fights and something really cool that happens there is the Sandevistan Mexican Standoffs.

Fun fact, Adam Smasher in the TTRPG is its “rock fall, everyone dies” analog. He’s Arasaka’s nuclear option, so to speak, and him showing up is treated as much of a threat to the players as a Tarrasque appearing or the Antediluvians waking up.

I like the attention of detail that Short Circuit does crit damage to robots/mechs. Which Adam is 90% cyberware. Makes sense he'd take a huge chunk of health off after that. Arasaka's best bodyguard vs basic default grade hack.

[@zakk3le598]

Whilst it somewhat makes sense, Adam still wasn't supposed to lose THAT much health from quick hacks. It's probably due to the fact that V in the playthrough i made this video in was completely maxed out with thousands of perk points spent in total.

@@jlynn9730 Indeed. Quick hacking him on the fly would be extremely difficult, even for a good runner. Even Lucy, who is clearly a very good Netrunner couldn't do anything.

@@jlynn9730 yeah plus at this point it's likely there is still a den of arasaka netrunners somewhere providing him with hacking support. theoretically you'd have to break through all of their ICE to get to smasher, and then he'll have his own custom ICE to break through. It would be a small QoL change to show the hack breaking through multiple layers of ICE with the animation and taking much longer. Lore accurate V is probably the best quickhack runner in NC, so cyberware malfunction or short circuit should wreck a significant part of smasher's health, but it definitely should take awhile to get there

yeah lore wise Smasher was always the most powerful character in the cyberpunk universe before V was introduced. technically, V could have very little cyberware and still rival smasher (like Morgan Blackhand) or be chromed to the teeth without risk of cyberpsychosis thanks to the relic chip. I'm the GM in a cyberpunk RED ttrpg game, and the group has gotten *really* strong. so to take them down a peg I'm going to drop them into a situation where smasher and lore accurate V travel back in time to fight them lol

@@giovannibalsamo6178 It's because V's relic gives him the experience of Silverhand. Yeah Silverhand got zeroed in the tower almost instantly but he still was a war veteran.

[@gantzllat]

I remember in the tabletop with my players, inspired by the anime, I simultaneously buffed and nerfed the sandevistan. Basically did an overhaul of that implant. Now if you activated you get twice your usual mobility and bonus on all your actions because theoretically, you are moving faster than a bullet. But also punish them whenever they forgot they where, in fact, moving faster than a bullet. Player: So I jump towards Me: Neat, you are now, floating above ground unable to move from your perspective. What do you do while you wait to finally land? in, let me check, a couple of minutes. Player: So I shoot my gun Me: neat. The hammer in your gun is still moving, it will take a while before it hits the primer, maybe half an hour from your perspective. Anything else you wanna do? The idea was that, if the sandevistan allowed you to move faster than bullets, then everything seems to be moving slower while is actually happening. The hammer on a gun will not reach the primer after you hit the trigger, you will not reach the ground after jumping, your other implants will take ages to deploy properly. It requires thought and consideration before use.

[@AnimanGod]

Some weapons in cyberpunk do not have a hammer, for example, some types of rifles are specially designed for max Tech, so that they can use them while in slomo. Just moving at the speed of a bullet, you will also maintain momentum during jumps, jumps will not make you hang in the air, you are not tied to the ground

[@AnimanGod]

The only thing that can be implemented as a punishment is if you run into a wall under the influence of sandevistan, then you can be flattened, as well as any interaction with small dense objects in the air can punch a hole in you, but this cannot be done in mode.

[@gantzllat]

@@AnimanGod gravity doesn't become quicker with you. You will be falling still at the usual 9'14 meters per second. So yes, you will be stuck mid air. And weapons that don't require hammers, unless they are shooting the bullet also faster, will be then stuck in the barrel while you move. I get that you maintain momentum, but that will only make you move farther before getting stuck. There where ways to circumvent this issues. Guns with no hammers with ultra fast rounds, ejectors to move in the air mid-jump and implants that deployed instantly. But all of those required to build yourself around the use of a sandevistan. If you are going to use it, all of your next purchases would be determined by its presence. It was a steep investment.

[@AnimanGod]

@@gantzllat Gravity is gravity, but acceleration depends on the applied force. If I let go of a pebble from my hand without exerting extra effort, it will fall slower than if I threw it with force. According to your logic, if we shoot from a pistol, then the bullet speed will be equal to 9.8 meters per second ^ 2, instead of 1000-1500 meters per second?

[@gantzllat]

@@AnimanGod the only force that can make you airborne is an upward force, so the pebble example is asinine unless you are suggesting to hand of god will push you down after jumping. And gravity acceleration is different from momentum, so the bullet example doesn't work either because the bullet is also falling. At this point I have to guess you are being intentionally difficult or debilitatingly stupid because is really not a difficult concept to understand.

[@zakk3le598]

It's on the way ;)

[@nunyanunya4147]

i used pistols (revolver) too but on this fight I always used the weapon drop from his loot pile. thought it would be highly disrespectful to kill him with his own service issued weapon then scrap it as he falls.

the only special character in a verse where nobody is truly special, vs some gonk with huge anonymity issues and blood type protagonist

[@TonyMontaniaris]

In my playthrough after getting a certain build and completing most sidequests pretty mutch everyone,Smasher included were like NPCs. Its like i myself have to try and make this fight cool because on its own it was pretty underwhelming

[@spoiledpasta977]

Can't wait for this to be updated for 2.0

[@zakk3le598]

It's getting there. I'll definitely make a video once a dear friend updates EoNC

[@TheKnightDrag0n]

Realistically speaking you would need the Basilisk to wear him down or distract him and the most powerful Tsunami sniper rifle to penetrate his armor, even this zippy version of smasher looks heavily nerfed compared to real thing, thing still hits like a truck XD.

[@zakk3le598]

I was still testing the waters with this fight/video. I plan on making a video where i won't use any cyberdeck and Smasher's health will be a lot higher. In the mean time i suggest you watch this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZTRqIOfrbqrpKssi=Ua-EgvHYHnrFOoto

funniest part of this has to be using the "same" malorian series that didn't even scratch smasher in 2023 and resulted in a certain someone getting split in half lmao.. awesome video though

[@Malice_doll]

To be fair he’s supposed to be using the Dai Oni hardsuit in lore during the assault on the tower. But also his body here is related to one of the full body conversion hardsuits from the TT I just forgot the name.

If this was lore accurate V would just be a pile of smoking ash after 0.1 seconds upon entering the arena.

[@bowenhibberd1245]

V is stronger than Adam so how would he loose

[@Sebastian_V02]

damn i wish someone could do something about those limps that he lose, like if u don't wanna cut him that limp don´t fall and he still can use it

There should be more content like this for other games aswell😊

[@zakk3le598]

I've thought about doing similar content with other games like: Ghostrunner, Ultrakill, Doom and mayhaps RDR2

[@sirdark1381]

Lore accurate Cyberpunk is you cannot heal. You can only heal once but you need a MedTech with you.

[@solidmoon8266]

I still remember how broken and OP you could be before 2.0 Beserk with triple beast mode mods turned you into a blender. Remember just rushing him at the start and dicing him in less then 5 seconds. Doing a new Samurai melee playthrough now with the full 2.0 and phantom liberty, wonder how ill fair against him this time...

[@antonzhylenko2132]

I love how you "lore accurate" just deal 65k damage with a short sircut, so you could end this fight after 4 seconds of Overclock

[@ryaiariot]

Back when the Malorian 3516 still had it's original features, I cry.

[@zakk3le598]

True. Tho if you're on PC there is a mod to restore the Malorian's previous features.

What, you're telling me that here is a mod that makes Smasher actually dangerous?!

[@zakk3le598]

Yes. It's called Enemies of Night City. It's a great mod and really makes the bosses dangerous and combat overall better. It's yet to be updated to 2.02, but the author is working on it.

[@El_Krani]

I thought Lore accurate V was a Mantis Bladed Netrunner, theres a good amount of dialogue in the game that suggests he uses Mantis Blades and is a pretty good netrunner, like when V meets Nix and intervenes during the Aldecaldo and Wraiths business deal. It would be cool if dialogue had variants depending on what Chrome you got, like the Projectile Launch System barely got any love in the game 😭 although it did get a cool spotlight in Edgerunners. Theres one line only that i can think of that can be interpreted as V threatening to use his arm canon, and its when you enter El Coyote for that cheaters side quest lol but its most likely that he was threatening to shoot the goons that were making a fuss which is still cool cause i like playing Cowboy V so, i interpret it as either i’ll quickdraw you faster than you can react or i can activate my arm canon before you react.

[@PedroSilva-xl7iw]

That was for David

[@madmintentertainment6268]

I feel like people don't know what lore accurate Adam smasher is lol. He's not just the guy at the end of the anime. In the TTRPG Adam smasher was the unbeatable game ender. He was that games equivalent of " rocks fall, everyone dies" if you had an OP crew of players that had max tac level gear and OP feats. You sent in smasher to kill them all.

[@zakk3le598]

Whilst this is true. It wouldn't make for a very good gameplay experience. I suppose Mike Pondsmith was just ahead of his time. I think this video show's Adam's abilities a bit better. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZTRqIOfrbqrpKssi=Mkt5xFcPl-OrtFNW

[@Jacob_24]

Even after update 2.0 Smasher is lame as fu*k, the modders did justice to Smasher, he has to be a threat and not just some random NPC with a lot of HP

[@Darien2016]

I don't even know what half the skills are that this v is using lol.

[@хахатун]

I've done a pacifist walkthrough, but sparing Smasher means another chance for 'Saka or other corp to rebuild him, and he will definitely kill even more people, innocent or not. So the only person my V has ever murdered is him. Just to save hundreds or thousand lives.

[@ryanmcdonald9300]

Max tac got hands on smasher

[@stacksmasherninja7266]

what's your build for this

[@zakk3le598]

Essentially a 20, 20, 20, 20, 20 max attribute build with thousands of perk points spent in total. This specific V has all legendary cyberware and a really punchy Malorian 3516. My take on the "Canonically accurate V*.

[@AlucardsBlood69]

@@zakk3le598 The fact that you are full perked out and still almost died a few times in this video and smasher didn't die in one hit speaks to the difficulty of the mod.

Custom Quick slots allows you to have more than the default amount of quick slots. As for having a Cyberdeck and a Sandy at the same time. Cyberware-EX let's you do that.
