Sonic Adventure 2 - Hero Bosses

Well, I received a couple of requests at one point to record the bosses of Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, so a couple nights ago I went ahead, loaded up All Bosses mode, and recorded. I've divided the video up into three pieces so it'd fit on KZbin nicely, and conveniently enough, two lovely points to divide the video were after the Hero Bosses and after the Dark Bosses.
The bosses of Sonic Adventure 2 Battle... are like a black eye on the game, as they reveal just how frustrating certain annoying aspects of the game can be. These include... horrid camera angles getting you killed (Sonic vs Shadow at Green Forest is a big offender here), the light-dash throwing off what you were trying to do because almost everything is controlled by the B button (any Sonic or Shadow boss).
Some of the bosses are just annoying in concept too, like the Knuckles vs Rouge fight. It would've been fine if they didn't go floating up into the small platforms. I realize Knuckles and Rouge spend all their levels hunting things, but did their battle have to include hunting for each other when the camera loses all control? The hit detection is also questionable on that battle.
There was a time where I found Tails vs Eggman on the ARK the hardest fight in the game... I eventually learned a strategy that worked out nicely, but it's really the only way to avoid getting beaten up badly.
One thing I'm curious about is if it's possible to kill King Boom Boo without hitting the hourglass more than once. I've come within half a second of performing it a few times, but I can never seen to go fast enough... three hits is easy to pull off, but I really wonder if four is possible. The boss is a really slow fight, especially for those who have no idea what they're doing against him.
Some of my strategies are sloppy, some work quite nicely, feel free to learn from the ones you like, and I hope you...
Enjoy!~
EDIT: This appears to be my first video to reach 10,000 views. Thanks everyone!~ Hope you've all liked the video.
EDIT2: ...and now over 100,000 views?! Yikes... I did not think this would be so popular.

[@OmegaBlack2609]

Ironic the king ghost tries to go Pac Man on Knuckles.

[@lowhp_comic]

Why does Shadow say "I'm the coolest!" after getting hit? lol

[@First2CommentF2C]

Princess Lucina because he has a big ego?

[@grass7864]

Princess Lucina He's a total dork is why.

[@troypreston1998]

@@grass7864 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Got him

[@WilliamDearthwd]

And in the second clash against him. 3rd hit: Hmm, that hurt! 4th hit: Ooh, you're better than I thought! 5th hit: Impossible, I am the ultimate life...

[@selkirkswift]

Because it was the early 2000’s lol

[@Ationgtw]

Memories as a kid...

[@noppe321]

freaking makes me cry when i think of this game, it was the good days.

[@FUNKe]

Sega is taking pictures of a Sonic Plushie in several states on a road trip Description stated "Sonics Next adventure starts in.....Texas?" They did similar campaigns for SA1 and SA2. Could it be?

[@moondustryan1561]

I wish

[@ImFangzBro]

The Rouge fight may be tricky, but it certainly is the most showy, with the characters being knocked back when their hits clash. Very satisfying to watch.

[@Lightboiardo]

8:46 I have chills every time I hear that line. Sonic Adventure 2 is the best Sonic 3D game. = )

[@Uberdude3252]

FunFact: The lightdash can hurt Shadow too.

[@JbLentolome]

I watched this video so many times since 6th grade...so many memories...

[@nekopanda2166]

I loved the final fight against shadow

[@animekidfanlover]

Same it would be hella tough and hard but it's a good fun boss fight

[@animekidfanlover]

@Neko panda I love the king boom boo and egg golem boss theme

[@shadowofdarkchaos]

so ive posted several comments on ur sa2b vids tonight and i have to say that ur strategies were great most of them i used already except for king boom boo, eggman in space, and both the shadow vs sonic ones all these vids ive seen are simply brilliant

[@deadlysnipe12]

I personally liked these battles. Sure they were frustrating especially the knuckles rouge fight, but it just goes to show how both of you are on equal footing, and at times it can be really hard to beat your equal.

[@waitwhat9776]

i loved this game soooo much

[@ksmart1235]

but I hate the ghost boss

[@randomyoutubecommenter2312]

K'Maya Smith agree

[@noranradmusic]

+K'Maya Smith that shit creeped me out as a kid lol

[@randomyoutubecommenter2312]

shadow: i'm the coolest a few seconds later he loses the fight

[@Monunga]

Now this guy know speedrunning tactics for this game! You are awesome! Thank god there's another speedrunner out there!

[@PlayingWithMahWii]

8:44 Probably my favorite line in the game.

[@LighttheULTIMATE]

i kno this vid is old but DANG! your good i thought that i was good but man your the best and the concept of the ghost i really think was stupid but that was AWSOME!!!

[@NataliaNeeSama]

I like the way that you go berseker after breathing the bosses, is like "Ei! stop attaking, I am allready dead!!!!!!!!!!!" xD

[@OmegaBlack2609]

Knuckles the Echidna Pokémon Type: Fight/Ground Ability: Guts/Iron Fist Attacks: Fly, Dig, Brick Break, Foresight. Description: Aggressive and territorial, they will fight off trespassers with fists as hard as steel. They can dig in any terrain, often finding rare treasures.

[@charaznableplays2110]

OmegaBlack2609 NO PLS NO YOU POKEFUCKARD

[@PinkKittyRose]

For Air Necklace: In Aquatic Mine drain the water to its lowest level, then look in the main chamber for a big Warning sign. Behind this warning sign there should be a small hole you can fall into with a spring at the bottom, if this isn't the case you're at the wrong warning sign. Down there there's a tunnel full of water, the Air Necklace is at the end of the water-filled tunnel. You have to make it before time runs out... it'll be a close call so be prepared to try a couple times.

[@Splodarine]

"You're not even good eno-I'LL MAKE YOU EAT THOSE WORDS!"

[@KeeperoftheRing]

2:44 "Before this is over I'll show you the true power of TEAMWORK :D"

[@beedrillfreak]

Ugh I hate King Boom Boo >.< his laugh is the stuff of nightmares

[@eddiejonesiii6254]

1:59 Really, Shadow?! really??!!

[@fatalwaffle1715]

Awesome video.

[@Funkermonsterco]

Shadow: This is the Ultimate! Me: Teleporting in front of me so I can light dash you is the ultimate, sure is.

[@xAznSkyxx]

Sonic: I'll use y... Sonic: CHAOS CONTROL! Sonic: let me finish my sentences...

[@taiyo888]

Rouge's stage always bothered me... you always have to chase after her, and then you fall off the pillars, and then... *sigh* and THEN you get caught in that stupid updraft from the plasma chamber.

[@migbuffin4861]

The ghost scared me as a kid 😒

[@trellthemes674]

+SonicBoi1337 I agree. That damn thing gave me the major creeps

[@ksmart1235]

me too it gives me nightmares

[@trellthemes674]

K'Maya Smith Lol Me too. I mean, seeing that thing just brings chills up my spine & remain there. I do however miss taking it down; despite being afraid of it. Plus, those noises he makes when he chases you makes me panic. But not as worst as the zombie dogs jumping through the window on the Resident Evil game

[@noahelmejor]

+SonicBoi1337 Me too. He was so fucking scary.

[@trellthemes674]

No doubt

[@Markness01]

''There's no time to play games, you dont got even the chance'' K, shadow got pwned, but i love the quote. ^_^

[@Ronstefer]

i think it's pretty weird how when sonic and shadow are about to fight in the jungle, shadow hasn't finished his sentence and sonic already has a prefect response. O___o

[@Official510]

I enjoy the fact that any of Sonic's masterminds somehow overlook the possibiliy that a design abnormality such as, I don't know, conviniently placed platforms leading right to the Golem's HEAD that could potentially destroy it.

[@fatalwaffle1715]

Sonic's Nintendo Counterpart is Link, Tails's Nintendo Counterpart is Tulin, and Knuckles's Nintendo Counterpart is Sidon.

[@mrmango786]

I freaking love the ghost's noises.

[@zapspiders92]

Shadow: HA! you're not even good enough to... Sonic: I'll make you eat those words! Shadow: let me finish my sentences...

[@charaznableplays2110]

zapspiders92 sonic: nope screw you faker

[@trevian1227]

Awesome vid! 5/5

[@yoadknux]

wow gj :p i've played it on the Dreamcast and I can tell you that the camera sucks there too XD I know how you feel ^^ nice video, thanks

[@natixeboom]

you gotta love the music for the character vs character fights

[@Netzumaru]

awesome video

[@calumROBLOX]

When shadow does his spear attack, I always thought he said "Disappear!"

[@DaxterD1]

"No! I can't lose to Tails!" Well that's not very nice Eggman, Tails happens to be my favourite Sonic character.

[@AHappyBlackGuy]

Shadow:Im the coolest! I always laugh when I hear that.

[@guitarmaniac525]

Oh god, I remember this game from when I was 6. I freaking loved it. I miss it because when my brother wasn't in the Navy he'd play it with me :(

[@ABYAY]

Rouge gave you a little trouble, but hey, awesome job, and actually a good quality video without commentary. Excellent. Oh yeah, King Boom Boo: BLLAAAAAA! That's the best... lol

[@aRubberSoul]

I like the parts where Knuckles says "Ororororuah!"

[@mem521]

that victory song is legendary! awsome

[@Sparkz1607]

I remember falling off the stage countless times on Sonic vs. Shadow. >.> I did a homing attack while he was at the edge, and it threw me offstage.

[@sw334t56]

so fast you beated all of that boss.haaaa impressive

[@StarfyandVaporeon]

Ahh, King Boom Boo. Remind me of when I had to take a poo break before the final hit. ...Bad times, baaad times.

[@WeareLegion97]

I miss King Boom Boo! Memories: scared to do pumpkin hill and aquatic mine bc of the random ghosts that popped out, scared to do þhe space places bc of the chaos enemies that scraed me and my brothers. Present: the random ghosts that pop out still scare me and not scqared of the chaos enemies

[@PinkKittyRose]

He's got two upgrades, one on each arm. One is the Fire Ring which allows him to break iron crates, the other is the Bounce Bracelet, which allows him to bounce up and down to get to higher locations... due to Sega's obsession with the B button doing everything, that bounce bracelet is a menace for mid-air light dashes.

[@bionicblazer1]

NOSTALGIA IS TAKING OVER ME AHHHHH

[@PinkKittyRose]

Well... I've had three memory card corruptions (3rd party cards are evil) ...so playing through the game 4 times tends to give one... lots... of practice... =x.x=

[@animekidfanlover]

Hey you've done pretty good love ur videos sonic adventure 2 battle is awesome love this game

[@wwe4330]

Both sides (Hero and Dark) have the same bosses. The only diffrence is that on Hero, you fight Kind Boom Boo, but on Dark, they replace him with another GUN robot (Rouge fights him).

[@luigi180]

Pretty good fights!! It is possible to got a one hour glass on Boom Boo.... just insainely hard :( BTW, why did you use such boring strats for Shadow 2? Could have light dashed through him, or homing attacked repeatedly.....

[@mastertjt56]

+Kleizar the homing attack way takes way longer than the light speed and spindash

[@luigi180]

You'd be surprised how fast the homing attack strat is. The SGDQ 2016 speedrun on youtube does the fight in 17 seconds with well times homing attacks.

[@cantouchme123]

That fight with rouge seemed really fast paced at one point.

[@sonicnator]

Cool boss battles. Even though i am very little suprised that Shadow would say something like "Im the coolest", it really doesn't suprise me one bit, even when I got the game.

[@NurseValentineSG]

King Boom Boo is the best boss. with the egggolem. Just love the music with those two.

[@Ultima770]

You know this seems to be the only Sonic game where the voices fit and the plot is actually good.

[@BigBoss15310]

I just got this game on Gamefly, and it was so freakin worth playing a game from when I was in 5th grade when it came out

[@jeanna86x]

2:00 "i'm the coolest" i probably died a little. XD

[@Fourthircondirst]

SHADOW: "Hah! I'm the coolest!" ME: ...?

[@crazy4guitar3000]

WOW, you were able to hit king boom boo 3 times in a row. AMAZING. i tried and tried just to land two hits at once

[@cleonumber1]

i love the music for the big foot robot fight

[@Drewtwo64]

When Shadow said I'm the Coolest, I couldn't help but laugh a couple years ago.

[@UltraSalamenece]

the last boss was so intense when i was younger

[@Theakker3B]

6:28 "If that's how you wanna play? I will take it from you!" Yeah, I bet she will.

[@Subscriber0101]

King Boom Boo is like the only boss where you actually do more than blast away or hit the cockpit. There is actually a pattern to follow.

[@meteorock5]

Finally someone's favorite is Sonic 06. I like that game too.

[@PinkKittyRose]

Well yeah... XD I practically rack up that many lives by the time I've gone and gotten a few A Ranks. XD Once you get good enough at the game, you only tend to die repeatedly when playing around looking for glitches. XD ...and if I don't have 99 before recording I usually just take a quick stop to Pumpkin Hill to get one or two, cause there's a guarenteed 1-up buried under where you found the Shovel Claws.

[@JuStOpHelia16]

Omg i loved this game gonna buy it wednesday :D

[@calumROBLOX]

@TheMole2005 On that boss, when the floor opens, I just kept holding A, then doing a screw dive.

[@Dawg93]

Man. I wish they would just do a remake of this game or something. It was sooo fun. One of my favorites of all time.

[@Youtubepoiuytre]

"you can't beat me, you weak little fox"

[@PinkKittyRose]

*giggles* Thanks... it's one of my favourite Gamecube games~ (Ran out of room, Air Necklace explanation in next reply)

[@Pendulum-]

super nice boss 4 you rock

[@Samsasrenjet]

@arviagent13 Yeah, a lot of the story seems to be missing in SA2B. Maybe we'll see a re-release one day with new levels, and a more comprehensive story!

[@jesterfun123]

lol i love the level you are on at 6:55 cuz thats the one where you can climb up really high and do the drill claw/drill heel all the way down ahhh the memories i think this game had better graphics, although a cartoon, than most PS2 games message me if u agree lol

[@bubba106]

"Do you know who I am?" I miss that badass cockyness from Sonic. P.S. "I'M THE COOLEST"

[@_ogzay]

What a game man. My first first GameCube game. I loved this mf so much. To this day probably the greatest sonic game ever made.

[@michaelchmz6]

i like that the game was based of the anime

[@romariodesrosier1450]

Steve Urkel Actually, this game came before Sonic X came around in 2003

[@Veke99]

it's the same for egg golem but that one has a nice guitar line too

[@Monunga]

Actually, he said, "You're no match for me, you weak little fox!"

[@ST3RDz]

the memorieeeesss

[@DuoDynamo]

"Did their battle have to include hunting for each other when the camera loses all control?" lol

[@OnyxTTV]

PLEASE TELL ME, how do you get those little balls of energy to go into sonic? when i do spin dash (and i have the light speed shoes) the little balls of energy don't come surrounding me... how do you do it?

[@DeadEye200]

the last good sonic game... loved this game... and STILL do... :D

[@gundambassexe31]

I love these bosses

[@Dragnforce011]

i thought it was hilarious when shadow said "im the coolest" in the first sonic/shadow fight.

[@PinkKittyRose]

Yes. All the videos I post are my own works.

[@cheesepeetza]

"This is the ultimate power!"

[@SuperHothead14]

I remember at one point how pissed off I was when eggman had his extra armor after i got it in the dark playthrough. I suck at those parts and fighting an even tougher eggman was hell to me.

[@sthesupreme24]

I hate that big ghost

[@ksmart1235]

me too

[@animelover129]

the boss music in this game is pretty epic

[@webcamrandomness14]

i like how he beats all bosses in record time and dosent die once

[@MaximusDread]

That's what I always say when someone knocks me to the ground.

[@undyne1]

I use to know how to kill king boo but then I forgot so I had to search for the boss :P Thx

[@wisconsinrebelhomes7587]

Jim Carrey: You thought u could fool me w that fake emerald didn't you? Tails: So Robotnik how did you k it wuznt the real 1? Sonic: Tails! Jim Carrey: B.C. you just told me fox boy

[@Playstation72]

The first time i fought the egg golem my only thought was, "Why are there pegs for me to jump on his back. That doesn't really serve a purpose."

[@nirvana324]

It's a power up you get. I dont remember sonic's location for it, but shadow's location is on his second level, you have to jump around a tower or rock, and the enemies appear when you get close to the edge...hard to explain XP
