I was going to release this on New Years Day, but the video was already finished and I know the holiday season is busy for most people, so it'd more likely be caught in a less busy time. Anyway, I feel like this type of video needs to be done. I'm not dissing any other boss rush video on youtube, but none really show off one of the most effective (and encouraged) ways to fight this game's bosses. The combo system's not even utilized to it's fullest potential in those videos, and that's a shame, since players should have the right to know just how far you can push this combo system and curb stomp these bosses without it feeling like cheap charge spam. Combos grant you superior damage at the expense of exposing yourself to more potential damage. But this is Zero, man--that's been his deal since the beginning. Zero 3 just finally fleshed that out.
This video's here to kinda prove a point: You DON'T need charged Z-Saber (or even charging in general) in this game, ESPECIALLY against every boss. I only used it on the first Omega fight because it'd look weird using EX Skills stage 1, and Recoil Rod's charge damage is the EXACT amount of damage as an uncharged recoil, just that is has more utility and I felt I'd do myself a huge disservice by NOT using it in this video. Sure, charged Z's a superior combo starter damage-wise, but it's not that significant of a game changer. Bosses already crumble like cookies with the right EX Skill and chip combinations. Smacking them with that charged Z-Saber at the start is just an insult at that point (unless you're speedrunning).
The main combo I use here revolves around the Z-Saber and Recoil Rod: normal aerial slash (can even be a recoil rod poke. Both deal the same damage and have the same combo value of 1) - 1000 Slash - short hop - SaberSmash - short hop - aerial spinning slash (Malthas cyber-elf). It's not the "strongest" combo, but it's one of the most universal combos that work against most bosses just fine for consistent damage. It also gives you ample time to act afterward since the combo doesn't pin you down in place and after the 1000 slash, you can always dip out if you feel like you aren't fast enough to continue it before the boss recovers or move, or even switch weapons if needed.
The Light Body Chip and Quick Foot Chip also brings out more damaging combos to the table. Triple Slash - Split Heavens (it links together because of the chip combo) - SaberSmash - aerial spin takes off nearly an entire bar of HP. But if you REALLY want to get crazy, fight bosses that can stagger backwards like Copy X, Phantom or Omega Zero and watch that HP shave with the GaleAttack - Split Heavens - SaberSmash - aerial slash combo. I simply only did half of that combo on some of the bosses because it's straight up NASTY (charged Z-Saber's got nothing on that), and this video would probably be even shorter if I DID do that to them. It's just Copy X and Omega especially die from it fast because you can safely hit them with all three hits from GaleAttack without hurting yourself.
The boss battles shown here will be the base strats I'll be going off of when I actually run the whole game properly (mostly Z-Saber and Recoil Rod usage). Either way, I want to start off 2019 strong, and I want this video to represent that. Hope you all enjoy.
