Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon - Fiend Battle

[@restlessalciel3285]

I love how Raidou 2 used bad luck to expain the fiend encounters. Imagine running into the literal grim reaper because you were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Haven't played in over a decade and this theme and the fiends stick with me just as much as the encounters from IV did.

[@elinfini]

I found it interesting how the very first seconds of this theme sound like it was about to play the traditional Fiend battle theme from previous SMT games...but then changes into something completely different. It's a nice touch.

[@Pidge]

pov: you are being mugged

[@eiIlenn]

Best fiend battle theme ever in SMT games.

[@manlykitten123]

I think Nocturne gives it a run for its money.

[@ZetaMAGES]

manlykitten123 definitely IV has a better version of the nocturne one

[@ThusSpokeBushmasterZer0.]

I don't know if I like IV's better Or IMAGINE's this one is good tho

This is the only game that made the riders feel actually Threatening

[@nitro5247]

Well, that and IV

[@aiis6821]

@@nitro5247 i'd argue they were more of a threat in IV:A Idk personally i found em easy in vanilla

[@NomfuI]

Yeah, the Persona games turned them into a joke. But maybe it's because the protagonists are broken af.

[@aiis6821]

@@NomfuI honestly even in SMT V the riders are kind of a joke

[@primeoctober]

@@aiis6821 the riders are especially goofy af in SMT V, literal dust and bones to scrape aside real quick to get to the REAL deal you're after

[@hyde184]

Probably this is the most fear i have when fighting the riders, because it's the same like fighting reaper in Persona series

[@AlexRango]

Welcome to the bone zone casual

[@DeisFortuna]

I mean, arguably, the Raidou 2 Riders are worse than the Reaper in P3. In Raidou 2, if you get a game over to a fiend, you have nobody to blame but yourself. In P3, when you game over to the reaper, there's a Non-zero chance that it was one of your AI controlled party members that fucked up, not you.

Devil summoner 2 tips for newbie: never wandering in dark realm / other dungeons that's not save at all too much. Or that fiend is going to have a taste on your booty, unless if you really want to meet that fiend...

That time when you're running around at level 3 and Red Rider appears...... just why?

[@Crok425]

Dark Souls roll spam, that's how.

[@TungVu-fh6vw]

red rider unavoidable attack should kill you instantly at lvl 3, even with guard, especially this is king mode we are talking about. How, just how?

[@hyde184]

Probably because you are playing in king mode

I use my worst luck for hunting fiends tho, it has the challenge and train my rolling skills

[@mattias9729]

for some reason, at the 0:43 mark it reminds me of another theme from the SMT series but i can't quite tell which one...

[@SonicEdge7]

I get you. I think it might be a similar motif as "Darkness," the final boss of P3FES' The Answer.

[@1zeldalover]

🌮🌮🌮 No punches pulled

[@MightiestDisciple]

This theme makes me want to battle

[@jrpgqueen3772]

Imagine a Raidou 3 with Persona 5 Striker's battle system....

[@nr2676]

P5 Strikers have Raidou 2 battle system but without random encounters, and is more musou oriented instead fighting with one / few oponents in one moment like in Raidou ...

[@seviha]

King mode... T-T

[@lucasgill7819]

RED RIDER!!!

[@Friedspaghetti]

When you used Repulse Water but the encounter icon still in red

[@masterofbloopers]

I still prefer the Nocturne version, but DAMN is this one good, too!

[@JoshuaB1194]

does anyone know if the song that is played just as you encounter the fiends before the battle has a name or what?

[@JunKurosu]

Only fiends

[@JoshuaB1194]

Davor Basic I can't quite seem to find it

[@JunKurosu]

Joshua B Sorry I thought youasked where the song played sorry ask on a forum

[@JoshuaB1194]

oh okay no problem

[@realjudoippon]

Hey I know it's been five years but the song name is 'A Wall That Must Be Crossed' from the Raidou 1 OST

[@OldEnemy1]

This is really cool but I feel like you could put this song in DDS1 or Persona 4 and it wouldn’t sound out of place.

[@Eigengrau608]

So spunky.

[@dethkruzer]

This isn't a bad theme, but nothing about it screams "Fiend!"

[@Onigumo.]

Its about your fate in the battle with a fiend and it fits well
