Metal Gear Rising - Bosses [Revengeance, S Rank, No Damage, +DLC]

Now I hate the fact that the PC release alone got an option to skip right to the Boss fights of a chapter... primarily because of the second phase of Armstrongs fight in the base game. Would you believe it took me about 4 hours of repeating the last level to try and S Rank that fight because of the single checkpoint if you take damage that progresses the fight?
Anyway, every fight up until the Body Doubles is my first time playing this game properly in about 4 years. That combined with a little self imposed rule I do in general which means I don't use Ripper Mode before Chapter 4 left me feeling a little rusty. After a 2 week break I finished them off like no tomorrow except for Khamsin. Between Khamsin ND S Rank and simply beating the Metal Gear RAY's on EExtreme in MGS2... he's even worse because of how few frames you have to react to. Five hours it took me to zone myself into the mind of a machine that could beat him.
FIVE!!! HOURS!!!

For those of you watcing in late 2022 and beyond; thank you for clicking on this video of mine. However, I'd be much obliged if rather than watch and praise this extremely outdated boss showcase, you instead took the time to watch my series where I Revengeance, S Rank, No Damage the ENTIRE game and the DLC chapters, which are a very different story compared to these bosses and took quite some time to achieve.

Funnily enough, the only one who gave me genuine trouble was Mistral and by extension her Body Double. The Body Doubles are where I had to call a few days just to let myself open up to new ideas. That's where I came up with the idea of Parry Countering Mistral as soon as possible, since I could get through her, but that meant I could essentially bypass her fight and get a chance to practice on Monsoon, which let me re-learn how to do deal with the smokescreen in that room.

@PaladinAtom9 Armstrong went much harder on Raiden on the latter part. Armstrong meant to recruit Sam,but in the final standoff,he gave up on changing Raiden's mind and intended to murder him. Let alone the nanomachines seem to absorb,store and propel energy,Sam's fight had a few vehicles drained,Raiden had to fight Armstrong when he had drained dry the goddamn EXCELSUS lmao Think the devs came out and said Sam would have killed Armstrong if he played the long game. Which makes sense,he would run out of juice and Sam would have chopped him to pieces. During Raiden's fight,Armstrong had healing phases,EXCELSUS is a big juicy boi but even so the long fight wore him down,thats why you see him getting scars towards the end and eventually getting cut and heartbroken also Sam is wearing a powersuit,it greatly enhances his physical capabilities but yeah thats flesh and bone on tech enhancement and mad skills

[@nebulamageplays1541]

I never knew how stupidly powerful parries were. You did 50% of Blade Wolf's HP.

[@ZakRas]

The entire Counter Attack mechanic gets a huge buff on Revengeance when compared to playing on Normal - the reason I say the entire Counter Attack mechanic is because it also applies to things like the QTE's in Armstrongs fight, the button mashing just wipes out about 1/4 of his health bar on Revengeance. In Sam's DLC it's far more balanced but still pretty much required to beat Wolf fast enough to get the S-Rank.

The weird new Watch Data tells us some interesting things. 1. As expected, people mainly only watch the beginning and end of the fights while skipping the meat of the battles, with the exception of Senetor Armstrong who has almost equal watch time throughout the entire fight. 2. The most replayed moment in the video is the climax of the Khamsin fight, which I'm only assuming is because Heat of the Desert is the best song in the game and it's a disgrace that's it's relegated to a DLC boss and not one of the main bosses.

After about a half hour of learning that the only way to attack without getting hit would be to let him attack first and counter depending on whether he performed an axe drop, axe swing/sandstorm, or the two-step combo - followed by about 4 and a half hours of practicing the restraint to not attack at all until he did. Also, telling myself to ignore how much damage I'd done to his health bar and focus purely on him helped. Remember; most of what you see on the internet, is nothing more than a carefully selected fraction of the experience.

Which one of these bosses were the hardest to S rank?

[@ZakRas]

It depends on a number of factors. - Mistral has the camera working against you the most, you want to keep track of her and the Dwarf Gekko. - The Body Doubles are mentally exhausting if you don't kill Mistral fast with a Perfect Parry like I did here. - Sundowner had an unexpectedly high Combo requirement along with Time which took some figuring out. It's why I don't cut his shields off - the actual fight itself is no trouble. - Sam vs Armstrong relies entirely on a taunted Armstrong not doing his unblockable clothesliner chain attack- which he does quite almost all the time on Revengeance, unless you get lucky and he does the black boot which has a huge cooldown. - Khamsin requires absolute patience. You cannot go on the offensive since Wolf has no effective dodge cancel - you can only attack by counter-acting what attacks Khamsin does first. Khamsin strategy; Axe drop - run around him & evade. Axe swings - jump then heavy attack. Two-Step Combo - jump then heavy attack and follow it up with aerial light attacks to stay in the air long enough to let him finish the two-step combo. Stay in front of and close to him so he doesn't do a charge, if you land behind him run away and wait for him to turn around because he has some unexpectedly wide behind him based attacks.

[@christheplayer99]

I was wondering, considering you said you spent a lot of time on Armstrong's second phase to get it done with No Damage, isn't it possible to do a manual backup of your save so that you can start from there if you screw up? This would be useful for S rank runs of the entire game in general, as you wouldn't need to do the whole mission again if you screwed up the final boss or something and the game checkpointed you. I know you can't backup Xbox One saves because of the cloud feature, but maybe it still works for 360 saves. If that doesn't work, does it mean your only option was to replay the mission each time you didn't get the S/ No damage? If that's the case you deserve even more praise.

Are there i frames in raidens sword lunge combo?

in the b.d fight you can cripple monsoon in his purple state with his sai

[@ZakRas]

I know - I personally never incorporated the Secondary Weapons into my playstyle. I admit there's no reason for me not to do even just a single use like in that scenario - I have no point to make following that.

Every time I watch a no hit armstrong video they always no hot the pre battle phase, is that required for no damage s rank?

[@ZakRas]

Yes. Both the sword & fist fight sections on top of Excelsus count towards the rank against Armstrong.

[@LayTooPlant]

only complaint about this is that you skipped sundowner phase 2
