You made the right choice in not skipping Lionheart.

I love how he adopts Jumbo Cactuar's glitchy movement patterns when fighting him.

I swear if we ever get a remake of this game with modern graphic I'm going to just die happy seeing Squall brutalize all the bosses like this. I mean this game could have easily just have been lazy and give the same Renzokuken for all bosses, but someone had the heart to go the extra mile to have these special Renozkukens to just look awesome and make us smile. I mean he climbs on Bahamut's wings and Ultima Weapon actually tries to fight back. Where's the kind of heart people put into games like they did back then?

The Ultima Weapon Renzokuken is badass, especially how Squall just nonchalantly dodges a slash while wailing on poor Ultima.

The Bahamut, Ultima Weapon, and Unknown Sorceress versions are my favorites. I always liked how the Renzokuken was influenced by the enemy you were fighting (both in terms of Squall's moves, and the number of hits), and how Squall aims for maximum damage with each of them: when he's attacking Bahamut all around his body (wings, head, etc.), X-ATM92 on top of it then on it's head, the Unknown Sorceress at the top of her body then tripping her over by attacking her tail, Ultima Weapon on both the lower and top parts of its body in order to ruin its balance (and on top of that, avoiding Ultima Weapon's sword as the latter attempts to save itself from Squall's attack), adapting to Giant Cactuar's glitchy movement, or attacking Adel solely at her wings and head and avoiding to hit Rinoa. Also, thank you for not skipping Lion Heart. Easily the best Limit Break in the FF franchise, period.

the bahamut one is the best one!

The Renzokuken against Ultima Weapon is the best, in my opinion!

the most brutal finisher animations from any final fantasy

i liked it when you included "lion heart" for bonus kill lol

FF7 and FF8 were the best games. And damn, the one with the Unknown Sorceress was fucking brutal.

My favorite is definitely Ultima Weapon (as seen from the side). Ultima even tries to strike back and cut off the barrage, but misses.

Still rewatching this in 2018

the one one jumbo cactuar was awesome. poor cactuar :(

Ultima Weapon is my favorite. He gets beat down like he stole something then Squall hits that back flip clean off of him when he's done.

I remember my first fight with Ultima Weapon, the moment squall unleash that SAVAGE Renzokuken on Ultima's face like " I have been running all this dungeon, fuck you and your fucked up horse, COME AT ME BRAH!!" Fucking best moment playing FF8

Bahamut's gonna need some counseling after that raping.

Man I know people get tired of seeing lionheart but that shit was broken as hell. Helped me killed the the final form of the last boss no sweat after she used judgement.

Using Renzokuken in Adel is such a gamble. With the Lion Heart equipped, you have a 50% chance that your finisher will be Fated Circle or Blasting Zone.

I always loved after lion's heart even the fall does damage.

This is why i like final fantasi 8

My jaw dropped to see that Ultima Weapon held the exact same Ultima Weapon Cloud had from FF7! First time I fought Ultima Weapon was on FF10, so it was a surprise to me because I had played 7 after that, then 8.

Squall FUCKS up Ultima Weapon

I've been playing this games for ages and never noticed how squall slashes the bosses. Well i knew there were variations but like how he stabs Ultima weapon.

One of The best videos ever in 2024

Damn squall is savage !

There's a Renzokuken for the last Ultimecia form too. First time I see blood while using a Limit Break in FF, nice video!

....makes me feel wanna play ff8 again because of how epic is the Renzokuken + lion heart is

3:50 Squall decided that Rinoa must be removed surgically from Adell.

Squall OP i love his style :)

Ultima Weapon Renzokuken highlight was Squall dodging the Slash from U.W lol. Bahamut flipping Squall in the air for the final cut and Unknown Sorceress getting tripped up on final slash. Hahaha. So cool.

@CloudN9N3 I'm amazed there are still FF8 fans out there. I'm a blacksheep between my group of RPG fans for even enjoying this game T_T

Any swedish people here who played this as a kid, laughed your ass off at the name "renzokuken", and watches this again and laughs yet again?

The one against bahamut was similar to the one Cloud did in Advent Children

The one with Bahamut was so Badass that it also ends with Lionheart

I love all the renzokuken where he jumps at their faces brutally slash the fuck out of them and if lucky followed by a broken limit break the lionheart

Nice! If there was ever gonna be a remake for this game, I'd bet there'd be a trophy for getting all of these. B)

Missed NORG.

If u slow them down u can see all the specific shit he does in some of them. He seems to try to disable the robot spiders circuits, presuming his most sensitive part is his head, and he dodges the spiders lets at the last part before spinning. He does a cool little spin at the beginning of bahamuts and at ultemicia/grevier he straight out bitch slaps ultemicia like an abusive lover.

You forgot Ultimecia (last version).

The bahamut one. i like the way he dance with the sword

Renzokuken alone makes me really want an FFVIII remake. Don't even get me started on my other reasons. That bahamut oooone!

2:14 OMG HE BRUTALIZED THE ULTIMA WEAPON!!!!

omg this makes me want to play this game again, I've yet to defeat Omega Weapon

This is the Original PS1 version right? because the Renzokuken indicator is so smooth, that is how I remember it playing when I was young good job

I’m so hyped for the remaster

well that because you didn't know about the " crises level " mood in that game which is the more the character " such as Squall , Quistis , Zell , Rinoa Selphie & Irven " in bad status like being in a low Hp & suffering from status changes like Pain,Zombie,Slow,meltdown, gradual petrification, doom etc.. this will allow massive attacks to be appeared more often than usual such as LionHeart , The End , critical effect of Quistis's Blue Magic , Rinoa's limit breaks & the long time for Zell & Irven

Ultimecia final form also had a special animation and is very cool

2:07 hahahahahah Jumbo Cactaur

The Bahamut and the Ultima Weapon one were pure magic. Loved em. Its a shame only one boss in the game really required the use of our heros at full strenght. Its also dissapointing that FF9 didn't follow suit with these awesome limit breaks. I've always wondered why the animation for Ultima Weapon is different from Omega Weapon.

That's how a true SeeD fights.

I agree. Though the PC version of FF7 (with the correct mods and/or screenpacks) gets pretty close. As for 8,9,10,10-2.... I think they said they (Square) was considering a re-release of X and X-2 for the PS3 in HD.

he goes crazy on ultima weapon

i loved hittn those triggers

@krat0s9001 yeah squall runs up and hits one orb then runs and hits the other then jumps on NORG's ass and starts beating him down. lol its awesome

You got extremely lucky with Adel there... Good thing the finishing move was not the other 3 apart from Lionheart!

The most powerfull char on FF series

You fought bahamut exactly as i did, renzokuken and then lion heart, pure luck!!

Considering? FFX/X-2 HD (both International versions) is playable at the E3. They say X = around 80% done and X-2 around 65%. The release should be in 2013

Daaamn... He litteraly brutalize everyone 👌

Badass, I wonder why they didn't make more variation in attacks like this in other FF games. :/

@andreExsoLDier it's not a matter of level. what you junction to stats is more imporant, especially with gf cactuar's skills that increase gains on lvl up (if i remember correctly).

Ultima weapon has FF7 Cloud's last weapon

one word: Epic!

Getting a "Rough Divide" in the nads...

Why don't they make a ff8 sequel? Fuck if i know

Lion Heart gets me hyped!!

Squall wrecks Bahamut, damn.

Bahamut, Ultima Weapon, and the Unknown Sorceress are the best for me. Adel's just risky for me 😅

true , i agree with you

Ultima weapon is my fav ;)

Good ol 60 fps renzokuken

i think final ultimecia (upper half) also have its own renzokuken

NORG also had one.

rip rinoa

shit! you're really lucky. Most of the times you got lion heart

Is it just me, or does Squall look as if he became "berserk" whenever he brutally slashes/stabs an enemy during his Renzokuken attack

Mikasa and company can´t achieve this level of mobility and agility with their gear, Squall was on a league of his own during his golden years.

Great Video. What's the name of the song from 4:55? Thanks

only real men beats up a helpless child!

Well he does drop ot once he dies in FF7

Lion Heart OP. nuff said.

wtf i never nlticed that with ultima as a kid

Too bad you have to be low on health to use Limit Breaks. I've missed so many of those. :(

cactuar lollll

You missed a few

Too many Lion Hearts in a row. Still awesome.

Music is clipping

how cool would it be if they make this game for PS3.

shit....i didnt see most of these

not gunna lie kinda weak i remember my renzokuken was 9999 everytime

Seifer? Edea?..... No? Ok....

why did you let all thé lion hearts séquence ? it getting bored...
