Elena & Rude and Rufus Boss Fight - Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth

[@jefthereaper]

OG Rufus: Stays in Midgar planning his future conquest and expansion of the Shinra brand. Rebirth Rufus: Oh boy lets go have some fun in the area! (though to be fair, its quite a publicity stunt)

[@TheRatchz]

It really is a good publicity stunt lmao, imagine if some US president showed up on WWE or UFC just after starting the presidency and challenging and actually fighting the champion.

[@coffeeandjelly4614]

It's really sweet that Rufus sends Darkstar away once he's knocked out. And the fact that he calls him "D" makes it seem like he sees him as a beloved pet.

[@damienorr4800]

I be trying to take the dog put 1st but then the bitch that owns him kills me

[@CrazyNerdSarah]

Rufus was ruthless in this fight!! Also whoever voiced Rufus for the English dub did such a fantastic job!! The lines from Rufus in this fight are so menacing!!

[@marvinnovilla4918]

Rufus: Yet here you are Damn..

[@badrbattioui]

Same as remake. Dude has the best lines

[@samenders1074]

Rufus talks big for a guy who's 0 for 2 against Cloud despite having his dumb mutt with him.

[@nevertellmethaoddz8581]

that is literally what I said when I first heard that. My boy Rufus cold af

[@badrbattioui]

People really complaining about having 3 boss fights? Every time this happens in a game I’m just happy lol

[@damienorr4800]

Im happy that your happy but this is some bullshit

Damm, Rufus is freaking aggressive

3 Boss Fights in a Row. This was hard.😮‍💨

[@franklinmarciaga]

Agree It was annoying asf😅🥲

[@Mypoorcharcoal]

Not that hard

[@raina1848]

Rufus is ridiculously hot.

[@mattias3668]

He's a crossdresser, that's clearly a woman's coat.

[@toastea6853]

I enjoy going back and watching fights like this one because when I'm playing through it for the first time, I start tunneling on trying to live. I can't pay much attention to the stuff like the announcers and their commentary, which unsurprisingly is so colorful and funny lol XD

[@kazhuyan7533]

The music at 2:00 and the way all were resting and preparing was so damn cool. I listened to it for an Hour and just updating all my builds in the meantime lmao

[@7spider391]

This rivalry between Rufus and Cloud is great 👍

[@XcuzeTheMessDeer]

Seems one sided Rufus just harassing Cloud cause he's bored

[@rinafiles]

​@@XcuzeTheMessDeer right 😭

[@-fizzle-729]

If you were hitting perfect blocks before, the Rufus boss immediately heightens your block timing😭

[@felixramonarmeroperez1245]

The fight with Rufus and his puppy was fucking epic, when I managed to defeat him I was sweating. By the way, I love how Rufus become angry if you beat his dog.

[@reloadpsi]

Well the dog still doesn't die, so I'm happy.

[@coffeeandjelly4614]

hope he survives Part 3 too

[@makhyusnimakhyusni401]

I assume it Will likely die in part 3 by trying to protect Rufus from blast

[@CanterlotCrusader]

Rufus has some nice moves and one-liners, but he still gets solo'd by Cloud and runs tail. Guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

[@richardsouffrant8442]

I don't think many people know this but lazard Deusericus Director of Soilder (from Crisis Core) is actually Rufus's Brother it's amazing when all of it is connected

[@valentinamaria1993]

I know. Cause Rufus is my husband, Lazard is my brother in law 🥴🤪

[@radpie83]

been having trouble with this fight. i’m hoping using this strategy will help. so thank you! made it look easy lmao

[@richardmason3]

it wont .. cause this must be easy mode or something. he doesn't stagger this easily in normal

[@darknessshallfall934ho3]

@@richardmason3bro it’s nearly impossible to stagger this bro in normal mode and I’m level 47

[@damienorr4800]

​@@darknessshallfall934ho3im around the same level and i wanna take a bath with my toaster this fight is so damn stupid i got to v2 of the fight twice now and he literally keeps flying into my personal space and shotgunning me in the face this is so damn stupid

[@PowerRobMusic]

This game is really wearing its welcome out with me Once you hit Gongaga the game immediately goes to a D

[@damienorr4800]

Id say the end of that part where like you go to the reactor then on for sure i dont hate this game but that point and on just has been way too stressful and just not interesting at all my main point was for zack and well they fucking flunked that

[@craigbartlett3462]

Started to lose interest after Gongaga aswell, after Nibelhei especially with the back to back boss fights, then you do it again at the saucer, so annoying i wanna progress the story

[@artaosmani9279]

now that i have the chance to actually listen to them, it’s crazy how many different voice lines the corneos MCs have for different scenarios. like when you heal cloud towards the end of the rufus fight and they say “cloud was almost out of the fight but now he’s back in!” just when i think i know all the details they put in this game i find something else that makes me appreciate it more

[@tenzero5274]

are you playing on easy or have a special defense ? rufus attacks do so much more damage to me

[@PhoenixJaideEditor]

Is likely easy mode,

[@unibear6372]

Rufus: tries to roast Elena: is that meant to be a joke I don’t know why that’s just so funny to me, I feel like Rufus’ trying so hard in this scene and Elena just unintentionally roasted him instead🤣🤣

[@Tongobongo2034]

I like how Rufus is just gay for Cloud. They would make a nice twink couple

[@adri_144]

he sure has some suspicious lines, even in remake like "not at all, you're making me SWEAT" UH HELLO or "let's make this a night to remember." and they just continue with that in rebirth, it's hilarious xDDD

I cant lock on to elena. Any abilities or spells doesnt lock on! It says no available target. Is this because rude went down first? Help

[@craigbartlett3462]

These 3 back to back fights have caused me to stop playing Rebirth for the moment haha. Love the game but damn these 3 fights are so annoying, i got so close to defeating rufus on last fight, died then had to start again from the 1st rufus fight like come on.

[@Masta_jay]

After looking back at all the fights you have against the Turks they got their asses whipped especially in the temple of the ancients lol

[@XcuzeTheMessDeer]

Avalanche literally has and Ancient helping them out

[@damienorr4800]

Im stuck on this fight and ngl even before this i was already tired of the game like late chapter 10 cause these are literally just reused fights from the previous game just changed a lil bit and ita back to back to back i reached dick bag rufus a couple times but he just melts my health away and i just no longer give a damn to keep playing ill come back to this game if they give us a zack dlc or something play the game as zack and what he was doing cause for fuck sakes why was he playable for only the beginning part

[@davidmeadows9639]

Bro I'm sorry but this fight is just annoying on anything other than easy, idk what level I'm supposed to be but I'm 45 and this shit just drags on

[@MrZRACER]

very lazy imo giving Rufus the same moves and not adding in a few new ones.

[@CrazyNerdSarah]

They did add a few new ones.

[@jasonborne238]

Uuuuhhh huh he has new moves and a new gun what you talking about????

[@night104]

Bold to say when his biggest standout ability is Ricochet, which wasn't in Remake

F this battle

WITH A RUSTY IRON BAT. It's so fucking hard. He counters everything and has a 0.00032 second window where he can be pressured for 0.5 seconds.

[@Schneez]

I know you guys probably have already done the boss by now but I'll still post this for anyone clicking on this thread: Rufus reloads after every 5th shot. Giving you a brief moment to catch him and pressure him. The dog just needs to be hit with an elemental attack to pressure it and temporarily separate it from Rufus.

[@cam70980]

Shit like the Rufus fight make me turn off the game and go do something else... not fun just annoying af

[@tunteisiin]

Yes, you must be one of those people who think that games should be hand-holding and every fight should go through on the first try... It's nice that there were at least some difficult fights and you had to think a bit more carefully about what you were doing in them.

[@camsamhey]

Easy difficulty exists
