Fighting I-No. I've never been more pissed off when a girl took off her top. For the twelfth time.

Could somebody give me some context?

[@Nervantoss]

@@flip.flap. She is the boss in this version of the game. It's one of her win pose.

[@mkb2195]

@@flip.flap. she was the hardest boss in any fighter game And whenever she beats you she will take her top off (u cant see the damabangalahuges btw XD) and she looks at the horizons or she will play her guitar really crazy I remember that was making me really salty as a kid back in 2005

I'm gonna be honest, Guilty Gear made me a rock and heavy metal fan

[@soapbar9175]

Apparently she can create this piece of music by simply mashing the strings on her guitar, drums, opening choir and all.

[@soapbar9175]

As for the boss herself she's less difficult when you figure out how to dodge her Megalomania attack, her AI is fucking bullshit though.

[@huntarius8253]

***** I thought you were referencing Megalovania. Sorry about that.

[@JasonGodwin69]

[@Hoarseplay]

I lose to her on purpose sometimes just to see what she'd say on her win quote, my favorite so far is against Jam, (normal, not EX. Yes, there are quotes for EX as well,) I put on my life she says this.... "I don't know much about fighting with my bare fists. But I am good with my hands, if you know what I mean." I-no is a FREEK!

She technically always had glasses but never boxed (rocked) with them on.. If you seen the story and some artwork you'll see Miss I-No with glasses.

Real guitar skills don't translate at all to Guitar Hero actually. It's not like we're trying to hit a sequence of buttons at the exact right timing. Guitar is more about actually understanding the scales and harmony that construct a song and "re-constructing it" when you play it, as well as a lot of improvisation, it's the complete opposite of Guitar Hero where you need to play the exact right "notes" at the exact right time.

[@justingray7979]

Q: why hasn't I-No killed sol yet. A: Cause she spends two hrs on her guitar solo warm up while sol leaves to do something more important.

[@jouheikisaragi6075]

One of the best Final Boss tunes ever, it just leaves you in aw, and gets you pumped up, makes you not wanna lose and beat the shit out of I-no! Especially if you're playing as Gold Sol, then it's a very even, and satisfying battle.

[@seanobrien276]

Love that riff at the start, straight from X Japan's Kurenai

[@pimentx3253]

Glad I am not the only one who thought that.

[@GoddessWhoUsedToKnowToMuch]

If Strive had character vs themes, this should have been the Sol vs I-No theme.

[@DavidJBurbridge]

"So let's imagine Ringo Shiina is a busty evil witch in red leather and her theme song is almost but not quite Kurenai and that's our boss for this game."

Plain and simple: the coolest female in all fighting games. Look at this shit, lol she is rocking like crazy, she is a witch, she is a final boss, etc.. no other female character gets close to I-No regarding the "cool factor"

To my knowledge she's still the only boss in fighting games that has a mini-game in her gameplay (i.e. dodge the instakill)

[@sigurdtheblue]

Having some overpowered, big attack that you have to prepare for is pretty normal in final bosses. I feel like I have definitely faced something mini-game style before I-no.

[@staticnoisefromhell1386]

Been playing it a lot recently and I finally beat her last month with justice. Then I beat her with ex ver of herself. At first she can seem super op but after you figure out how to dodge megalomania, special moves and combos it comes really easy. I was even laughing when I got a perfect on her. Considering she wiped the floor with more than 2-3 dozen times.
