now THIS is gaming bois

[@thewhiterabbit2003]

6:41 I would in fact like to see your friends fight the bosses. If that's okay with you, of course.

[@kelldaking5043]

Imagine being this good at rivals

[@thomasverslycken2563]

On lvl 1 boss! astra, unlike on any other level you HAVE to reflect her her projectiles with a parry or reflector

[@thomasverslycken2563]

Imagine fighting all 3 of sai's bosses at once, especially with all of them on lvl 1

[@thomasverslycken2563]

It may be an unpopular oppinion, but my favorite kirby game is star allies

[@Tuskski09]

There is a master hand in rivals, he is even playable

[@Peep_chief2]

We have that in SSBU also

[@dolphin550]

Melee did that too.

[@geoffuzz]

Yeah

[@decodedbunny101]

I’ll take notes

[@Pumpkinhead324]

As he should be

[@delta_8870]

You're not meant to fight them in practice mode, you just need to put an AI controlled enemy and the stage takes it over. Also there's a master hand character

[@roynicorn8361]

The Boss Stages work normally if you play against a CPU, that CPU will become the Boss.

[@Moss_Dude]

Fights Tinker Knight: Yeah this boss is pretty easy, good for beginners. People who played Shovel Knight: *Adjusts glasses*

[@Mas-cm6cy]

"YOU FOOL"

[@user-cl1xp2fp7x]

Ikr

[@jonnetikka3668]

Shovel knight pro approves.

[@saihuang9066]

Epic vid, Boss!Mayu is just a re-vision of a Omega Zero boss from MMZ3 And here is something about Boss!Astra: Her shield block damage 5 times, If it broke Astra lose 33% of her heath. After each shield broke Astra start using a new Ultimate spell. When you are not on lv1, you can attack Astra thru gaps between attack. IF you are on lv1 where Astra have no attacks gap, there is mostly just 2 viable strats: 1. Parry the projectile to reflect them back 2. Stay away from Astra and dodge 5 "normal" spells, after that she will use and "Ultimate" that cover large area then go into weakened state where her shield take double damage. You will try to dodge the ultimate spell then go into damage her. Star Ultimate: stay way from center, jump up to avoid shockwave and airdodge thru the light pillar. Sun Ultimate: get to the center, see which side the sun fall down and dodge it by running to opposite side. Black Hole Ultimate (which didn't show in this video because you didn't get to phase 3): STAY AWAY from center, dodge the incoming floating black matter, this spell is the easiest one to insta kill you.

[@arcanekestru]

24:03 "I wanna say this is the hardest boss so far, just because im losing so much health." sans : *ends fight in 7 seconds* "am i a joke to you?"

[@mav4031]

Is sans even fuggin beatable in aether?

[@arlchrisjavecatig703]

😊

[@MathiasWolfbrok]

Just so you know, if you want to fight the stage bosses normally, you just go into Versus mode and add a CPU

[@rorobilly1]

Yeah i wanna see gamer friends beat the bosses, that sounds fun

[@raine7304]

Me too

[@pikaverse2497]

Imagine having a boss fight where the play can go up against “Toxic Fans” of KZbin

@@levetteishmael7952 someone needs to create shaggy in Rivals of Aether

[@Skypatroller_BenCD]

07:36 THAT'S PK STAR STORM FROM NESS *AND* LUCAS'S FINAL SMASH (but more especially from Poo and Kumatora from Earthbound 1&2/Mother 2&3

[@sobersplash6172]

smash bros's moveset scheme was also based on Super Star's, so it comes full circle

[@thomasverslycken2563]

I don't know the rest of pyribit but i believe the time limit is a expert mode thing, also pyribit is from kirby triple deluxe &besides from that this is with 2D sprites instead of 3D models this is a 1 to 1 recreation of the original boss fight

[@thomasverslycken2563]

@Adrian Pena from what i remember pyribit was on the volcano in the original game too

[@beanietasticday]

Is that why some of his attacks look like something from Kirby Mass Attack?

[@kickitoldskool]

Except for Marx’s dashing and summoning the squeaks, I recognized all the bosses’ attacks from other games. Also, my current favorite Kirby game would be Planet Robobot right now(or at least one of the return to dreamland quad).

[@Jerome_____2007]

The dracula boss is literaly the dracula from smash bros ultimate lol

[@mrchips9183]

Ikr

[@skeletorthebest7204]

You can play solo in a stage boss match if you set the second player to CPU- the stage disables CPUs

[@draakvuur654]

I'm a little disappointed nobody pointed out the level 1 Mayu voice lines were all from Omega in Mega Man Zero, the final boss of one of the games. It also looks like a few attacks were inspired from it, too.

[@hexagonalchaos]

Gotta agree with you on the ds era of gaming The time between the ds and the wii u were a great time to be alive.

[@theawsomecheese9714]

2:02 Dang you crashed so hard, The crash message forced you to do math

[@frozenfiredarknight3764]

I wonder what a Boss v Boss is like. (or at least 2 gods or opponents with healthbars)

[@ashadeofblue6815]

lmao maya doing the omega zero entrance voiceline

[@FlubbedsodaGamingOfficial]

THE RIVALS OF EATHER TEAM ACTUALLY LOVES KIRBY GAMES

[@siedwidnf]

Cool tip on how to win with clairen: dont do basic attacks just do som X slashes and if the opponent is in air do the fire slash :)

[@williansondospassossilva5808]

5:05 IT'S OMEGA ZERO!!!

[@RustyhairedAlp9575]

Master hand is actually playable near the end of SSBU's story mode, so it would be fun if you could wreck people as Master Hand in Rivals

[@Jerome_____2007]

Lol marx is too just the smash bros ultimate fight

[@chezi34]

It’s based on the Super Star Ultra version of his fight, not Smash

[@watermelonking04]

For Marx I'm not 100% sure but seeing on how expert was Marx Soul normal mode is probably regular marx

[@ballisticboo7808]

It is

[@SuperBazsle]

28:36 Now THAT is a name I haven't heard in quite a while. Me and my friends used to do the same thing.

[@Toxic32415]

Linklight: Can i have my game back? game: (music)

[@xenophanesonic2830]

"huh so thats the fox who did make me learn void?" -hiaika

[@officersoulknight6321]

Boss!Astra has some super Terraria-y attacks

[@maxthompson7107]

I think the special interaction between Golden Ronald and Hikaru was the crash followed by the math problems. The developer knew how overpowered Golden Ronald was so they had to make a failsafe somehow.

[@evritings]

Ronald has special dialogue for Dracula, and since most other bosses were made by the same guy I’d think they do too.

[@d-ty6347]

8:31 I am a Absa main. I felt that

[@dylanh.campbell3905]

Same

[@idkimjustsortahereiguesslo672]

When you put Boss!Mayu At lv1 That little dialogue is translated to, “I am the messiah”

[@camryntyshun5889]

Me if I fight Astra Astra:*uses the Solar Spirit bomb move* "Your Already dead " Me: *Screams for dear life as I get evaporate into nothing, after getting hit with the Solar Spirit bomb move*

[@Ahlnie]

For whatever reason, boss Mayu looks like they're weaker than the player controllable variant. Even the level one difficulty version.

[@joshua6994]

Just found out that there's different dialogue for what character you use on the Dracula stage.

[@kelldaking5043]

9:58 the man linklight looking out for us I really appreciate it

[@marxiplier4322]

Nice to see you fight my boss form. Bit weird how I’m I’m not playable yet astral brith void is, but not a boss. Also odd how no one made a stage for the gatekeeper boss fight from story mode. Maybe one day, I’ll be playable and be able to fight the gatekeepers.

[@Yxazel]

Funny thing, Boss!Mayu uses the voice clip of Omega in megaman zero 3 where he says: Im the messaiah

[@gypsysprite4824]

i'm pretty sure Boss!Mayu as a whole is heavily inspired by MMZ3 Omega

[@sander303]

I like how Mayu is just Omega from Megaman Zero 3

[@davidmccall4024]

I think the Ronald part was a math problem that you had to solve but i could be wrong.

[@bendythedevilofink8195]

5:03 that's omega from MegaMan z serie that's really cool

[@eezybeezy9874]

In the sans fight he dodges until he gets tired, he falls asleep and he dies

[@PixelHog916]

I can't belive the developer of Ronald decided to pull the reverse card on Hikaru

[@mrchair2633]

Same Squak Squad is Chill

[@thomasverslycken2563]

I remember fighting tinker knight as godkarmachine, it was because i wanted a battle between 2 metal giants

[@maxthompson7107]

Dracula is in reference to I think his appearance in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, minus the exchange between him and Clairen. That's completely original I think. Sans is a reference to the Undertale Genocide Route, minus the fact that you can play with up to four players. From what I remember, the original Undertale was strictly single player. Unfortunately, all of his attacks from the original game are present, but since you've never went to the Genocide route before, I don't think I want to spoil anything else for you. Pyribbit I think is a reference to Kirby Triple Deluxe, judging by the background music during the boss. I've never played Kirby Triple Deluxe, but I do recognize many of not each of the Kirby games. The Marx boss fight is a reference to his appearance in Kirby Super Star Ultra. The Expert Mode is his Soul form he gains after crashing into the Nova he wished upon in the main game. The black orb thing is likely in reference to his appearance in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate where he does a similar attack. I think the attack at 23:11 is a Rivals exclusive attack. Tinker Knight is a reference to his appearance in Shovel Knight: Shovel of Hope and Shovel Knight: Plague of Shadows. The only thing that isn't a reference is the fact that the Tinker Tank, the giant machine he uses comes out of the ceiling. Normally once you deal with Tinker Knight's first phase, the floor would collapse, and the Tinker Tank would come out of the shadows. Daroach is a reference to his appearance in Kirby: Squeak Squad. The only things that are not in reference to his appearance in Squeak Squad is the dialogue exchange and I think the army of rodents he summons. I actually kind of wonder of Sakurai saw this boss battle. He'd probably give it a DCMA if he saw it. Nintendo does often take down fan projects. I actually kind of wonder if anyone ever made a Kirby Squeak Squad rom hack. It'd be cool if each world/area was a different game from Kirby Super Star Ultra.

[@afurhat4726]

I love the pyribbit fight from Kirby Triple Deluxe, but enhanced, whoever made it kudos to them.

[@astra3766]

7:13 Yooooooo let's go

[@zylerjam6497]

Bosses with the Bros

[@darkyang6601]

Mayu really did go the Omega Zero route, huh

[@brokovnik]

Boss!Astra is very easy once you know what to expect from it

[@blueshot333]

Boss mayu's fighting style reminds me of zero from megaman Zero Edit:Wait he does say "ware wa messhia nari!!!" Thats a dialogue from megaman zero 3

[@everythingowo]

Yes

[@maxthompson7107]

I think you should play the Genocide route first before you do the Rivals of Aether Sans boss battle stage. That way, you'll have more of an understanding of why Sans is so popular in the first place. Once you've played that, I'd recommend using Sandbert for this boss purely because of his up special.

[@Avetho]

What would really amaze me is if someone mods in characters from Worm, like I think Shadow Stalker would be a really interesting fighter, maybe Assault and Battery as well. Miss Militia would be kinda OP what with her guns, much like Armsmaster and his halberd-of-basically-everything. Lung would just get stronger the longer he stays on stage without losing a life, gaining attack power the higher his own damage gets, Oni Lee would be bullshit spam tactics, and it would be entirely unfair and unreasonable to ever add Contessa as a playable character or a boss. Perhaps if Taylor were added as Skitter or Weaver she could have a special boss stage against Alexandria, and Eidolon would be a very interesting boss stage what with his constant changing of powers to something different, like a random method of movement and dodging combined with a random method of either melee attack or defense and a random method of ranged attack, since he only has 3 power slots and those would be from a list of potential powers. Vista would probably not be possible in the game since she would be expanding or compressing parts of the stage itself or making impossible geometry that perfectly blocks all attacks or otherwise creating a gigantic solar death-ray lens-array above the stage as a final smash and annihilating everything. Now Clockblocker would be very interesting, since Dennis can just freeze someone and that's that for a short while or he handles a 1v1 by more mundane means like setting up frozen objects as impenetrable defense or maybe setting up a thin wire that is barely visible on stage and it causes damage when someone passes through it. So much potential and my inability to mod stuff makes me sad :P

[@crimer_doppler]

I would like to say 2 things, 1: Boss!Mayu Lv1 is a reference to Omega Zero from Megaman Zero 3. 2: There's a Master Hand in the workshop, but isn't really good of an enemy

[@gypsysprite4824]

I wonder how many people noticed that the combo Mayu does from that "teleports around you" nonsense seems to pretty much directly reference Omega's combo attack thingy (take note of the uppercut that ends the combo especially)

[@capdan9708]

Is that sans underteal

[@Cypher2d16]

Bossmayu just said omega zero's line it is perfection

[@MonkeyGng]

have you ever played shovel knight yet? if not you need to get treasure trove because it includes the lost shovel and all of the stand-alone games. (including one stand-alone that is not able to be purchased by itself)

[@maxthompson7107]

I wonder how the Tetris character would be able to beat all these boss characters.

[@Jensofz]

On what console do u play and do u play with a controller?

[@mastaplex651]

Anyone else recognize that as the voice line of the model o boss in mega man zx

[@Caldoric]

There needs to be a boss version of Asriel Dreemurr based on parts of Boss!Astra, given his "God of Hyperdeath" shenanigans in Undertale...

[@pokids7215]

“These are easy to dodge.” 1 sec later: gets hit 5 times in the face XD

"What do I do?!" lol Astra is awesome, but I came here for Sans That was awesome!

[@jaidynsantiagodonotmesswit7801]

Boss mayu at lvl 1 reuse sound effects and Voice from mega man Zero 3 And the Final boss music from the game is really good

Mega man zero 3 final boss is what I’m talking about

[@jaidynsantiagodonotmesswit7801]

Pyribbit’s attacks remind me of Kirby Mass Attack.

From what i know the minions doroach can't be taken out at all in expert mode

It crashes cause your forcing a win or lose in practice mode where you ain’t meant to be able to win or lose

you do know pyribbit is a remake of a the same boss from kirby triple deluxe right?

@@ZesTofthelemon Thank You. Do you happen to know why people use this song so much?

@@arataki4417 Well, it came from probably the most notorious piece of ancient shovelware I know, that being Hong Kong '97. Usually it's thrown around as a joke song, such as its recent use in Mario's Mystery Meat.
