Hi-Fi Rush: Narcissist Mimosa Boss Fight on Hard | Rank S | Superbowl Left Shark reference

[@floricel_112]

This is probably the only time I've seen the "spunky hero interrupts the fame obsessed diva's performance and earning her scorn" trope (think Nozomi from River city girls) flipped over its head. So refreshing to see the narcissistic diva *roll with it* and make the interruption PART of her show, regaining her composure and the advantage in the process

Seems like Someone hasn’t heard of stream delay. I can see them having the livestream delayed by a couple minutes in case they need to cut things out.

[@florpleborp2275]

Apparently they have on average 7-9 seconds to alter it (literally just the specific l number I’d heard, not certain how accurate), especially because LIVE stuff can go wrong or have small things you’d just prefer to hide. I imagine there’s a lot of variation in the time depending on the performance or event as well. Sorry, your new years ball drop is a slight lie. 😅

[@scylla1772]

Same confusion here, but I brute force everything at first, so it worked out... but she was HARD. There was a full 30 seconds I was just spamming Peppermint bc Mimosa's attacks were so annoying to deal with

[@Timeward76]

@@scylla1772 funnily enough, switching between korsica when shes on the ground, and peppermint in the air is probably the best way to deal with mimosa's first phase. Keep your distance, let peppermint keep up the pressure from afar, jump in with korsica when she lands for extra pressure. Most effective way to break her shields and deal with her. Trying to fight her in the air is just gonna get you hit badly for no better result than letting peppermint do it.

YES, I LOVE this boss fight too since here Chai gets to actually rock out in front of hundreds of people!

[@raikaria3090]

How Mimosa reacts to Chai's unexpected appearance actually does show she is competent at her job and her claim as "Queen of Spin"; especially since she had to improvise it. Unlike Rekka who's answer to something unexpected is "destroy it and remove the evidence". Of course; she's still corrupt and wastes resources for her own ego; but she does actually... do her job.

[@HansAlRachid]

Wait wait wait, is this sequence a reference to that super bowl shark dancer snafu from a couple years back? The hell?

There's a few echoes of Space Channel 5 in this game, but starting at about 3:46, that entire segment is a direct homage, down to the pacing of the beats and how Mimosa uses Ulala's poses. Left, right, left, right, chu chu, chu!

[@remarus]

I'm glad others saw it. I freaked out, it was like I had trained since I was a small child for that very moment. I'd been noting that the party mini game on the big mobs are basically Morolian segments without the cute Chu! sounds.

Don’t forget that in the lead up to that segment she does ulalas walk perfectly

0:46 Red sun Red sun over paradise Red sun Red sun over paradise Golden rays of the glorious sunshine. Sending down such a blood red light. Now the animals slowly retreat to the shadows out of sight. Arid winds blow across the mountains. Giving flight to the birds of prey. In the distance machines come to transform Eden, day by day. Only love is with us now. Something warm and pure. Find the peace within ourselves. No need for a cure. When the wind is slow, when the fires hot. The vulture waits to see what rots. Oh how pretty. All the scenery. This is nature's sacrifice. When the air blows through with a brisk attack. The reptiles tail ripped from it's back. When the sun sets, we will not forget the red sun over paradise.

The nice thing is that it doesn't punish you if you're not good at the rhythm (for the most part; the Korsica fight was a royal pain), but instead rewards you when you do hit the rhythm. You can dodge more if you dodge on the beat, for example, but can still dodge whenever.

[@weregarurumon3202]

Rekka Exploded after getting hit by Chai. Mimosa's dress exploded after getting hit by chai. Roquefort got buried alive in gold because he didn't pay attention to his surrounding.(he also left his guard down and is semi transformed.) Kale Self Destructed himself in shame. Edit Can't confirm if Zanzo died since he just got lightly punched by macaron.

[@AlexM1983DHUN]

From the boss fights I liked the intro to this fight the most, the fight not so much still but still way better than Rekka's or QA-1MIL's. My personal favorites are Roquefort, Zanzo and Korsica. Btw. Chai and all the bosses except for Korsica are narcissists just different types or rather different faces or phases. Chai: the daydreamer who is constantly preoccupied with fantasies of fame and success. Also feels entitled to praises and recognition despite never achieved anything before. Rekka: the overachiever, workaholic, who needs to speak of herself constantly in third person to separate herself from her "greateness" and to emphase it. Zanzo: the cerebral narcissist who is obsessed with his intellect. Mimosa: the somatic narcissist, preoccupied with beauty. Roquefort: the literal wolf in sheep costume professional, superiority complex about his intellect and later about his strength and nothing matter too him just HIS (financial) success. Kale: manipulative, charming egomaniac, borderline psychopathic, your typical corporate white collar psychopath What all of them have in common their largen than life ego, they think they are special and superior, need for constant admiration and recognition.

[@mesiagamer5217]

Chai also kind of snaps out of it over time.

[@radadic]

It's fantastic how they got defeated by their own creations though. Roquefort got crushed by money, Zanzo got defended, Mimosa wanted to put on a show and lost her composure, Korsika, though not executed, was defeated by Chai wearing her down in a psychological sense. Rekka and Kale share the "defeated by their own creation" deal, just as Chai said. Chai's narcissistic behavior enabled him to fight fire with fire, which is the best part.

[@AlexM1983DHUN]

@@radadic Yeah, Chai is literally made into a defect by Kale tossing his MP3 player recklessly down into the "production line". Also Hi-Fi Rush's creators did some psychological horrors before so I think they know what they were doing when they chose to make the villains and the hero narcissists.
