Ah yes, The mini boss rush mission. A staple in the GV series and even in a lot of action games. But damn, this one only has 4 bosses and it already feels this long. The Hard Mode HP boost the bosses get is no joke. This mission is all recognizing patterns, 'being careful' and execution, I guess.
To be honest, I usually find these kinds of boss rush missions more fun to just play than to actually try to record watch-worthy runs for. I tried to do some new things on the bosses because this is supposed to be "Copen after he has already beaten you once", so fights should feel different to watch... right?
That's where the 'being careful' aspect starts to become overbearing. Small mistakes or late reads equal death. There is legit no reason to try new stuff or to try to add finesse, because it's too easy to lose the run in a stage with 4 back-to-back boss fights. Just play it safe, do what works, and don't take any risks. The kids watching at home wouldn't be able to tell the difference anyway :V
I mean, who wants to run a 10 minute mission on repeat for days because they wanna be fancy?
...Well, I do. But I'm a crazy person. So crazy that I recorded this when I'm currently too sick to play games. Was fighting back headaches, watery eyes and lapses in concentration trying to bring you a fancy 10min run for you to not watch. Grass.
Sickness inspired sarcasm aside, let's talk about how these fights changed from the normal missions.
Dacite has a roof now. If you dashed out diagonally to evade his grenades attack, GGs son. You can no longer easily evade the grenades and Armageddon Ray by just leaving via the ceiling anymore. I tried to make this fight fancy to look at by countering the grenades with different EX weapons. It ended up making me lose time. Go figure.
Hail is identical to the arctic block. The only soft buff she gets is the background. I'm not kidding, the backdrop is not symmetrical making the icicles harder to land between. Also the bright background makes Frigid Stasis bullets harder to see. I tried to make this one fancy by denying her the use of the Frozen Bits. it ended up making the fight easier. Send help.
Ace is also identical. I didn't really use the background to anchor his attacks so the backdrop change didn't really affect me. I tried to make this fight fancy, but I had no exciting ideas that weren't incredibly risky. They got me.
This Brigade is actually a new fight. He is the same as Brigade 1 for his first lifebar, then he gets access to 2 new attacks. The Quick Draw shot which is a lot faster than it looks and the "Taichou..!" flying kick he inherited from Dacite. The fancy-ness is, I guess breaking the grenades with Optic Barrier, but once again it made the fight easier. Continued doing this because I was tired of bouncing into them with the Recoil Dash. I also got really lucky in this fight. I stopped concentrating around lifebar 2 and somehow just didn't get hit. He was generous with the Quick Draws and Taichous and somehow we came out with a W.
His ultimate move also has the unique property of inflicting nervousness. There is so much time that you don't need to rush, and you know this. You can even go like ~15sec without inflicting damage and you'll still be good. You know this, and yet the timer and explosions are enough to make you sweat for some reason. "Let me just take the SHREDDED finish early because of this slight unjustified panic I am feeling right now."
If you know, you know man.
All in all, the desire to make the boss fights feel different to watch ended up making them all take a bit longer or outright not make them look that much different. The length of this mission already makes me dread doing Boss Rush on Hard Mode. That one's damn near 30min when run properly. Let me out.
Anyways, one more main mission left. Gonna tackle it after I'm recovered and work on some of the DLC boss fights on the side.
