Gunstar Heroes - Seven Force boss fight

One of the most epic bosses ever in one of the most epic games ever.
This was done on Hard so I could fight all 7 forms.
I won't be doing all of Gunstar Heroes. Other people have done it much better than I ever could.

[@legionbeast]

*Score ends at 77777.* If there was a perfect way to finish the fight, that was it.

[@UsaSatsui]

You score 11111 for each phase, and since this was off a continue, I started at 0.

[@HunterIsRad]

Well, if there were Seven 7s, then this would be completely perfect.

[@ShinoSarna]

@@UsaSatsui So this was intended by the designers? Even better.

[@EightOne01]

If only this had taken 50 more seconds.

[@JohnnyFromVirginia]

Dude that’s WILD! I never noticed that! Lord knows I’ve died there and had to restart many a time. That’s nuts!

[@Spamkromite]

Imagine the pain of animating this just using MATHS. That guy was a genious.

[@Peter_1986]

This boss fight _still_ looks awesome as fuck; it seriously hasn't aged one bit.

[@laylover7621]

Genuinely one of the best boss fights in video game history

[@gchijioke12]

And the hardest

[@Vladi_AK47]

What about 7 Force in Contra Hard Corps?

[@Levi_Skardsen]

Treasure loved this fight so much that they made it again in Alien Soldier.

[@ShinoSarna]

And in Gunstar Super Heroes - which nobody played but it's super underrated.

[@Shishizurui]

@@ShinoSarna I did they replaced the gun with a Bow LOL

[@Shishizurui]

There are alot of aspects Tearsure used on this boss with Phoenix Gama and Cerberus Alpha in mischief makers.

[@G-Cole-01]

modular bosses that just transform into a metric fuckton of forms my beloved

[@BackroomsSlayer]

This was such a good game they recently made a boss mod of it on a sonic 3 rom hack, in one of the games most iconic levels, ice cap zone. Hard to believe 30 years have gone by since this game was made.

[@SpiritualJD12887]

when you compare Green and seven force to everything else in the game you have to wonder how in the world such a third rate force managed to capture someone as powerful as Green. Am I the only thinking this?

[@UnknownDante]

+SpiritualJD12887 The power of the crystals corrupted Green's mind to make him work for them. That's why he does what he does at the end (I wont state for spoilers sake).

[@zenksren8206]

I thought they convinced Green to join them cos he had amnesia or something or was that the Jp version's story?

[@UsaSatsui]

They never really make it clear what it was. At the end of the game (I don't care about spoilering a 20+ year old game), when you defeat him, something flies off his body. The implication is that it was controlling his mind. The only definite thing is that he wasn't himself when fighting you.

[@legionbeast]

In the sequel, Gunstar Super Heroes (GBA) Green is actually pretending to turn traitor to get the trust of General Grey and try to stop him before he awakens Golden Silver.

[@Tycitron]

@@legionbeast Yeah but the green in super heroes isnt the OG Green is he?

[@aviewerlikeme8396]

This boss had the coolest sound effects.

[@Voltagenix]

Ongod that metal clank sound effect was sick

[@Masutora]

I actually got a little tense when the life dropped down to 5. > __>

[@gc3k]

On top of GSH being an all-time classic video game, Seven Force is one of the greatest mech concepts ever, it's weird that it doesn't have more of a cult following

[@electrosphere5581]

One of the best boss fights ever made.

[@thacaker91]

I'm here from Matthew and Sam's discussion on the Back Page Pod. Thank You for sharing this ❤️

[@TheVampirePredator]

Picard: "Do you remember your Zero-G training in the Academy?" Worf: "I remember it made me sick to my stomach..."

[@JoseDiaz12]

The first time I played this game, when the Gun form appeared I lost it. The chaos and brilliance of this fight is unparalleled even in todays games

[@nerometalmkii2876]

I am a Nintendo Fanman, but Woah! Sega has some serious bossfights

[@zemyla]

This was also the inspiration for the Septentrion Pleiades fight in Bunny Must Die.

[@Thegamingking89]

I love this game nice upload gamer dude!

Big smoke: thats going to be a hell of a story to tell when pass away!

[@teckworks]

Quite a lucky score you've got there, sir~

[@IllinoisTrafficAttorney]

Best boss fight ever

[@UsaSatsui]

He's not that hard with Force and Lightning based guns. He just takes longer. Beating him wit fire, though, takes some skill.

[@gi_nattak]

I was terrified of this boss as a kid, but I'll never forget the sense of joy and accomplishment I felt when I beat him.

[@phathomie27]

One of the coolest bosses ever. Crab Force was really hard to fight though; never made it past him on hard mode. You had to be really good at jumping from floor to ceiling quickly and repeatedly. SN: I loved making Soldier Force slide.

[@IgorWelkenbach]

If you use the homing+flame shot on him its a breeze

[@UsaSatsui]

You get 11,111 points for each form, so it's not really a coincidence (This came off a continue so my score started at 0)

[@kylestubbs8867]

Anyone come here after watching ACESpark’s variant?

[@UsaSatsui]

Kyle Stubbs Ooo! Me! I did! Wait a second... For the record, I've also been watching Roham's playthrough, and was very impressed with Ace's take on the boss. And Roahm's ability to clear it second try.

[@ACESpark]

Thank ya kindly! :) I think I used this video as reference material.

[@UsaSatsui]

@@ACESpark Not sure how I missed this comment, but you're welcome. Glad I could help in some way.

[@c0lligo]

KZbin compression, ruining awesome game clips since 2005.

[@UsaSatsui]

I guarantee it looked like crap 9 years ago too. I didn't really know what I was doing back then, and, well, still don't. I kinda cringe at my video quality standards back then (if I still did videos, there's no way I'd settle for this).

[@hboogy101]

@@UsaSatsui the game is at low resolution, it's fine

[@Mark-jg2li]

The one Megadrive game by Treasure's own admission could not be done on the snes!

[@segaaction7611]

Also alien soldier.

[@RabanoDoom]

You should've mixed seeker and lightning. That combination utterly destroys bosses and it means you only have to focus on dodging and moving

[@shinistrue]

Rabano Doom my fav combo made the game too easy though lol

[@UsaSatsui]

Lightning Chaser is actually not very strong on the harder difficulties. it has an annoying tendency to lock onto things it can't damage. I think I avoided it in this video because I wanted to make the fight more interesting.

[@UltraEpicLeader10020]

That's my strategy... On easy

[@stephenfogarty2209]

I challenged myself by using Free Mode, Lightning + Flame (Light Sabre), Expert difficulty vs Seven Force High damage output but you need to be close against an already difficult Seven Force

[@zengram]

Ah the memories of this battle!!

[@ArtemisGlitch]

One of the best boss fights and themes fucking ever SEGA GOES HARD

[@jacobspowell4416]

My favorite boss battle. Regardless if he's tricky

[@JiMxtreme]

Omg you so almost died at the end! Haha great job :)

[@youngkappakhan]

I only played the GBA sequel to this as a kid, and I didn't learn it was a sequel until much later. Looks raw AF though I should play this one too.

[@youngkappakhan]

Also never finished the sequel on Hard and didn't learn until much later as well that it unlocks the best ending. So now I gotta do them both.

[@CyberCataclisma]

You can only defeath him with this gun, if you do with any other gun, you are equal Chuck Norris.

[@seant1326]

Lightning-Chaser?

[@PRORAGEGUY]

@@seant1326 chaser with either force, lightning, and other chaser is perfect for this boss with free shot. flame chaser is hard tho

[@pipulese1775]

Couldn't Agree with that vid description more! Also fighting all 7 is the only way to go ;)

[@OrangeLightning86]

Easy - 3 Forms Normal - 5 Forms Hard - All 7 Forms Expert - Same as hard, but... you get the idea.

[@torgogorgo1888]

Was looking up gunstar heroes and randomly come across a video from another Sydlexian/Retrodromian.

[@boredcrab2]

dat score

[@daveshen0880]

You know at SNES console cannot handle it, fast gameplay.

[@Gundogcox24]

Can anyone tell me how to stop yourself from moving whilst shooting when in free shot mode? I feel like I've tried every button combo and I can't figure it out

[@UsaSatsui]

You can't. That's the whole point of free shot mode.

[@Gundogcox24]

Yeah I figured it out haha Finished the game in my second sitting Turns out it was my crappy friend distracting me on co op that was the problem Not the free shot mode

[@legionbeast]

In free shot, you can't. The best thing I personally found is to use Fixed Shot mode as it gives you more melee options in exchange for standing still and performing perfect shots.

[@rardez9178]

If you really want a challenge fight him with the lazer-fire shot

[@Flexision]

This makes me Wanna come out with a Blue Vs Green video. Blue is hard to use in some boss battles but I manage with him rather than using red. Although I’m the run & Gun Type. I like blues play style and grew up playing as him . Cuz my older brother was always p1 and chose red first🤷🏾‍♂️ lmao
