This is probably the best boss FromSoft has made for me. Music is exhilarating and gets you on the mood and edge to beat the guy, his gameplay is simple, yet difficult and also fun as all hell! Not to mention, he's probably the only boss they've ever made that doesn't use fade-to-black cutscenes, opting instead to do a sort of.. "build-up" style (if that's the right word), that draws the player in to the atmosphere, fear, excitement and anticipation of the upcoming, final fight! As they descend in to the arena below, Nineball/Hustler One readies his systems for "Commencing Hostilities", and once the player's elevator pod sends them straight to him, that piano and guitar starts blaring and it's game on!

They rarely make bosses like this these days... I mean I can find plenty of challenges, but almost nothing like this. And most of said challenges are usually from massive hordes of enemies, bosses that are more puzzle then battle, constraining objectives, or any combination of the above. It’s so _rare_ to have an A.I as dangerous in a knockdown, drag out straight fight, let alone wholly from it’s own merits and programming. Almost *NO* Bosses these days have quite the same blend of speed and mobility, precision and damage output, and expertly tailored A.I to put their merits to the fullest use. Even other Fromsoftware bosses like Sekiro and the soulsborne series ones at least pause between attacks, but with Nine-Ball Sereph, it’s just the sort of on-point and endless ferocity you’d expect from fighting a sweaty human player, and I think the gaming world need more of this.

So, I just finished my playthrough of first gen AC, ending with the destruction of Nineball Seraph. I want to clarify that I did use the Karasawa in order to take him out, but he honestly wasn't too bad compared to what I thought. Only died once, then came back and got him with just over 1000 AP. He's tough, sure. And he's gonna stick with me in my AC-Fantasies for a while. But he'e beatable if you're adept enough with your movement. Some tips I have for people fighting him are: - Boost backwards when the fight begins. You can get a couple clean shots off on him, as most of the time he'll boost towards you to close the gap for moonlight slashes. But the moment he gets too close (like, 2 or 3 meters in front), boost up to avoid a wave combo to the face. - Turning with his turns. If he's behind you and strafes round to your right, turn right as you move, and you'll be face-to face with him. - Constanly paying attention to the radar. Goes without saying as long as you have it as available (which you really should for this). - Staying off the ground when he's close. Another no-brainer, since he'll use his twin-moonlights if he's within permissable distance. - Use any optional parts available. They'll undoubtedly help with the extra perks they give you (e.g. energy consumption from weapons, reduced physical and energy damage, decreased lock-on times for missiles, etc.) For any newcomers, hope this helped! See you in second gen!

Been playing this series for over 20 years and I still can't get over how awful most non-missile shoulder weapons were until maybe 4 or 5. They're just so clunky as to be almost useless in any AC duel, unless if maybe you were using quad legs or tank treads. You fire your laser cannon *once* and I'm certain it's because you felt like you had to since it was part of the build.
@magamen12397 ай бұрын
there were some standouts in early 3rd gen like the 300 ammo chain gun, the big grenade launcher, and the light 15 ammo laser cannon, and you could over boost out of the kneeling stance, but yeah, generally they were not worth the effort to kneel down to use. in theory it would give more of a niche to quads and tanks, but in practice you were typically better off just using missiles because of silly stuff like the dual vertical missile launchers and the entire existence of relation missile extensions

@Steven McElroy This is from Master of the Arena and that's Nineball Seraph. That plot point was in this game.
