FFVII Rebirth Rufus (No Damage, Hard Mode, No Materia, First in the world)

[@Lk-]

And then there's me who struggles on normal

[@justsomeone3703]

Some tips that saved me: Triple Slash interrupts pretty much all of his moves and has the additional benefit of seperating him and Darkstar (target Darkstar and then go wild on him with Focused Thrust). If you hit him during Reload, Braver instantly staggers him.

[@HeavenOnHigh]

Give it some time, you get better overtime

[@clintwaki6936]

Cool tip for the Rufus fight is that each attack or shot from his gun will countdown from 8, since there's 8 bullets in a barrel. Once he runs out of bullets, he reloads so you know when to focus thrust his shit up. Then his guns akimbo move where he jumps and fires about 8 bullets, so he'll always have an opening after using this move.

2:08 I don’t know why but these two bravers felt so good and the sound they made 💥👌(booom) Very well played

[@RE_Prince_Vegeta]

@@Azumgi9 Thank you bro! ☺️ this was actually the first video of mine that blew up in views haha. Brings back good memories of early days of uploading videos of this game 😁 I love the braver sound here too!!

[@OverlordShanbo]

This is pure madness man, well done.

[@RE_Prince_Vegeta]

Thank you!! 😄

[@jackehboi23]

Awesome! I’ve platinumed this game now but this was the hardest fight I did on hard mode. Rufus is a brat!

[@RE_Prince_Vegeta]

Congrats on platinum! that is a huge achievement for this game 😄 yup, this fight was super challenging haha

[@robertdemelfi5918]

I stayed up until 4am the other night trying to beat this on hard mode. I finally did it, but i couldnt imagine doing what you did here. I actually never used disorder once i learned it and i almost never use punisher mode, but after watching this im gonna start using it more. Good job🎉

[@RE_Prince_Vegeta]

Huge congrats on beating this on hard mode!! 😄 Proud of you man, this fight is a tough one! And thank you!! Disorder and punisher mode are very good. I also recently learned that if you use disorder (while in prime mode this time) it launches you in the air haha.

[@mattappl3119]

​@@RE_Prince_Vegetadoesn't disorder launch you even in normal punisher mode?

[@RE_Prince_Vegeta]

@@mattappl3119 I’m sorry, never saw this notification. But, yup ! don’t have to be in prime punisher. Regular punisher mode + disorder will launch you in the air too!

[@Final_Sephiroth]

Nice bro! Earned my sub! Showed patience, skill and a good strategy. Noticed you went for 2 staggers on the first phase. Smart move, it's good to see someone else using this form of strategy. Sometimes staggering an enemy to early can work against us, in this case you used it to your advantage 👍

[@RE_Prince_Vegeta]

thank you bro!! 😄 I’m super humble about my posts, but this was def one of my proudest achievements! Yup I had to get to staggers in phase 1 with no materia in order to just hit a limit break for the win in phase 2!

[@RE_Prince_Vegeta]

No materia load out shown at the end, after the boss fight! Also, thank you guys for all the love on this vid 😄

[@dragoonknight310]

Impressive will have to try this good work

[@RE_Prince_Vegeta]

Thanks Dragoon!! You got this 💪🏻 and it means a lot to get a comment from awesome player like you 😄

[@BradPiper1977]

WOW, thank you for posting, I'm on my 3rd day getting giggle slapped by Rufus, will definately try this - Thanks!

[@RE_Prince_Vegeta]

haha, no problem, you got this!!!! 😄

[@DOC_951]

lol you can’t beat him with full materia slotted and healing… as if you will do it with no materia 😂

[@BradPiper1977]

@@DOC_951 Hahaha, good point.

[@samugi01]

damn I feel embarrassed now after my hour of failing lol amazing!

[@RE_Prince_Vegeta]

no worries, he is a tough battle 😅 and thank you!!

[@slurmpSSB]

This was sick! Good shit!!

[@RE_Prince_Vegeta]

thanks man!! I really appreciate it! 😄

[@King-2077]

Some people are just really a talented gamer. For you to be able to do this in hard mode is crazy to me lol. I struggled with this fight on my first dynamic gameplay.

[@RE_Prince_Vegeta]

thank you!! 😄 it took a lot of practice!

[@andersonrodrigo63]

Well, you are in another level...

[@RE_Prince_Vegeta]

@@andersonrodrigo63 thank you bro! 😅 took me lots of practice!!!

[@BattlerTran]

You really put up of a good fight when battling the president as an EX-SOLDIER 😀

[@RE_Prince_Vegeta]

@@BattlerTran Thank you! 😁

[@BattlerTran]

Coming back to my first video when I discover your channel 2 months ago 😁

[@RE_Prince_Vegeta]

@@BattlerTran Aw, thank you ☺️ yeah I just saw this comment say’s 2 months ago! Feels like you’ve been around longer. You’re very kind , thank you so much for always commenting and making it a fun time 😁

This is how it would’ve gone in the movies

[@RE_Prince_Vegeta]

@@SY-mn6qb 😄😁 awesome compliment! haha. thank you!!

Bro this is my expectation of how the fight actually goes

[@RE_Prince_Vegeta]

haha, very nice compliment! 😄 thank you bro!!

[@DufusShinra]

Just uploaded my no damage run with him, but with materia lol :')

[@RE_Prince_Vegeta]

@@DufusShinra awesome! looking forward to checking out tonight 😁

[@yourtypicalbot1926]

I definitely did not expect the limit break to finish him

[@RE_Prince_Vegeta]

It was only bc I did 2 staggers in phase 1 , and did enough damage to him then to make phase 2 just a limit finish!!

[@iamab0t]

this was really good bro.

[@RE_Prince_Vegeta]

@@iamab0t Thank you! 😄

[@Fab3rg3]

Disorder - Focused Thrust nice combo! Have you tried Infinity End on stagger? Works a treat

[@RE_Prince_Vegeta]

Thank you! yup! it’s super good! reason why I went with two bravers is because Rufus stagger bar goes down really quick. And since I had used a little time when he first got staggered trying to get some ATB back, infinity end prob wouldn’t hit on time. I keep it safe with just two bravers instead.

[@scarymandotcom]

Very very impressive.

[@RE_Prince_Vegeta]

Thank you so much for the kind words/compliment!! I really do appreciate it 😄

Guinness World Record play right there! 😄

Good stuff! 💯

[@RE_Prince_Vegeta]

Thank you!!

[@chaze2k9]

How do you get immune to his attacks?

[@RE_Prince_Vegeta]

have to perfect parry his attacks. As for phase 2, anytime you use a limit you’re immune to damage

[@GrantG22]

Well done. But man those announcers never shut up!

[@RE_Prince_Vegeta]

Thank you! 😄 I’m glad you mentioned the announcers, bc having to hear it every reset attempt became so annoying 🤣

[@SomerandomguySSJ4]

Should’ve been using disorder instead of triple slash to punish reload

[@josephpalombo8630]

I still can’t beat this on hard yet, I wasted almost an entire day trying, I must of died about 100 times, it’s got to be arguably the toughest fight on hard mode for the main game story. One aspect that really pisses me off with the game is that you can’t save right before Rufus, I had to shut the game off and now I’m gonna have to fight the difficult rude and elana battle again.

[@RE_Prince_Vegeta]

yeah I totally agree about the checkpoint here, would have been very nice to be able to save after Elena and Rude. Also, what part of the fight are you struggling with most? Are you able to block his attacks / find openings to use disorder ?

[@seaofrage]

Great fight. Now do it as a frog! J/k mwuhahaha

[@RE_Prince_Vegeta]

@@seaofrage Thank you!! 😄 oh man, I really hope to see someone do this fight on hard as a frog someday 🤣 that would be epic, lol !

[@teng029]

Damn..

[@empty_melodies]

You really said “Nah, let’s skip phase 2” 💀

[@RE_Prince_Vegeta]

😎 tell-tale game- *Rufus and his dog will remember this….* also, on Wednesday I have another cloud No materia no damage, hard mode 👀😄

[@RE_Prince_Vegeta]

update- ended up uploading it today instead 😅

[@andrewkkerr8435]

Dam

[@thatstheway2429]

But then how come you’re not at max HP? 🧐

[@RE_Prince_Vegeta]

because of the fight before this with Elena and Rude. But where my health is at the start doesn’t make any difference. I took no damage this fight regardless. I could have 2HP at the start, half, or max. And the outcome is the same here, No damage.

[@thatstheway2429]

@@RE_Prince_Vegeta is it possible to take no damage in the fight before?

[@RE_Prince_Vegeta]

@@thatstheway2429 yup! I uploaded a video recently of doing it no damage on hard with only using Aerith 😎 you might like that! I planned out and optimized it for hours haha.
