Do Igniz next time, it will be a lot fun 😈

The boss looked too easy considering you won on your first try kinda dissapointing

I enjoy this series, thanks for adding it to the list.

You should REALLY play DOA 4 on it's hardest setting if you want a *REAL* mother fucker of a boss fight... 🥲

Yeah, it was like vanilla Galactus levels of dissapointment (because we know how the modded "SNK Galactus" fight was making it a full 360° turn of the events), as the normal fights were harder overall, still fun to have more episodes. By the way, have you fought the "True" Boss version of Nagoriyuki (or whatever is his name) in Guilty Gear Strive?

XD

@V. S. Werejester Who's Hanzo, Samurai Shodown?

-or World Heroes.

@@kenrichgumanid9235 indeed! XD

@@kenrichgumanid9235 a ⁴

I did the same with Shermie

Like most of SNK Bosses!

The boss doesn't jump at all, so her only options are spamming the upward claw attack hoping you're not even armored, or teleporting. King of Dinosaurs just DESTROYS her with his armored command grab once he gets in.

HHAHAHAHAHA lol

@@kai0318 if Only Daimon was Playable, He would have Shake the Ground like he did with Saiki.

Reminds me of the Japanese baseball game with that list of fake American names like "Bobson Dugnutt"

02UM and 98UMFE did not have arcade versions either

Pleasing the players?

I'd say it was XIII since the bosses in that game weren't nearly as bad.

@@saiko_oro They had, if i'm correct were first launched at the arcades in japan only and months after we got the PS2 ports.

@@ppprime98K oh wow first time hearing of this, just looked it up and apparently it was on the Taito arcades

Gods in KoF got no ground game

Igniz and Magaki are bosses that AI know how to use them lol

@@Reachland02 imagine if the Ai hit you with the one move infinite combo

Did this boss have poor AI tho? Didn't seem like Max was abusing any gimmick with him (like you could with Orochi). Also a boss having unconventinal attacks doesn't necessarily make it cheap.

@@noodleknight7924 i mean it pretty much has a better version of goenitz's tornados, teleports, revives and becomes stronger when taken down the first time (when it becomes red), an almost unreactable attack that covers half the screen (the one where it uses its hair), but all it takes to defeat the boss is doing combos constantly because for some reason it rarely blocks on wake up, another thing that makes it easy is that it preffers using defensive moves rather than the ones i mentioned before.

Like orochi in kof 97

@@vfvfblki The Gods have no ground game.

thats lvl 3... lvl 5 is something

Let's be happy that it's not so high difficulty on that normal level, or we take forever to collect all the endings...

I rather have this AI than what we got in the past.

@Suicide Kyd anxiety? Dafuq are you making shit up about? He specifically said he just lost interest in competitive and just wants to push buttons.

@Otneimica What's wrong about it? Do you unironically actually think you can dictate what he needs to do in his own life? That's a big yikes

@Suicide Kyd ok, ur username checks out that you’re obviously trolling.

@Otneimica wdym look way too deep? You obviously unironically showed disdain when he has this opinion. Like wtf were you expecting? Some grandiose reason to not take interest in competitive?

@Otneimica bruh, metal gear rising come on dude. Lol

She usually spams that if you try to jump from far away or if you throw a projectile at her. Good think he had Kyo and Ralf on his team.

She does if she's far away.

Hoku deska

@@raidthegoose7241 He did. At 17:50 you can see the CPU level is scored 10,000 points which is the score of CPU level 5. Standard difficulty (CPU level 3) is scored 5,000 points.

@@raidthegoose7241 "I see it on stream"

snk boss syndrome

The Second form's projectile does about a third of your health per hit but she barely used it on Max's playthrough.

I was gonna say, the blue version has some of the best keepaway moves I've ever seen but it kept closing the distance towards Max for some reason.

It also seems like she doesn't doo that much damage. Her attacks are hard to dodge but it's just single hits that don't combo into much real damage EDIT: Okay she did some actual combos from round 2 onwards.

Doesnt help that the arena is the World final boss' lair, basically.

OMG SAME! I was like "Break the crystal horns them carve it later when it flees!"

and finding out that the announcer has done voice overs for NHK World 😮

this boss rage certainly lacked rage lol

Boss Exist

Boss Inconvenience

Boss Bother

Seems like a modern KOF boss to me

Screams soul calibur to me lol

I would say even SMT boss.

Fine by me

Yeah, not a classic KOF boss designe.

XD

His name is Ralf jones

Fitting since Ikari Warriors (the game where he first appeared in) is basically Rambo + Commando

Ralf lives by Halo Reach logic: If there's a problem, punch it until it explodes

@@guardian4452I gave him an alternate name, sometimes i call him "Napalm" Napalm jones funnily enough sounds cool too.

It seems more likely she just likes him but can't express it on healthy ways lmao

"Why am I stuck with these two geezers*, while you got cool friends like Meitenkun and Benimaru?" *all offense Dolores, that hairdo and glasses makes you look old af

@@malcovich_games To be honest, Meitenkun is pretty cute. I like that sleepy guy with his magic pillow and the eternal bed head.

Wasn't that how Iori acted towards Kyo when Chorizo was trynna get them to deal with Orochi?

@@SalamenceFury Honestly? I wouldn't doubt that. I was getting those vibes too.

funny because she's KOF Akuma

Not sure how long you've been here, but maybe the fact that he is a dad might have something to do with it.

You evolve/unlock Dad jokes the moment you have a son, and it can be upgraded to puns once your kid grows up

@@AndrewBlechinger ik thats why i say they got better over the years. I've seen those clips of little rippley holding the controller and looking at chat 😆

Did u put cpu to max?

Well I suck and can't beat when it comes back with barely health 🥲 and I spent about an hour

Difficulty 4 for now, but I noticed that the b doesn't like rolls.

@@TheControlBlue dang mine was most likely the easiest and I still could not shows how I have not mastered anything on this game

Same. I just stayed on them. Especially when they do that... Resurrection!!! 😆 I don't even try special moves mostly heavy hits or combo into them.

I'm convinced SNK fans are a bunch of masochists with their fighting games bosses.

@@DouglasStewart99 the hardcore fans definitely are. One thing they chucked a tantrum over was that Verse in 14 wasn't absurdly and cheaply difficult. I love that on 14 and 15 I can win on level 3 with relative ease unlike the other games where I play on level 1 and still spend 30 minutes and even more on the bosses and that's with using help options lol

Is Colored Flames a Thing of the past?

@@Gamesta100 Not really, most hardcore fans just want to return the old SNK bosses just for nostalgia. Hardcore SNK fans absolutely hate Magaki for being a tohou boss in a fighting game, and somewhat Saiki but isn't as strong as Magaki

@@ppprime98K Funny thing is that Magaki is one of only 3 pre-14 bosses that I have beat without using any of the help options lol

I think it is because the games nowadays are not focused on an arcade release Bosses were hard back then for people to spend more coins trying to beat them

It saddens me too, but that's a really great idea.

KOFXV is not an arcade release at all, so by nature they don't make the boss too cheap and make it beatable even on the highest difficulty. It pains me to say this, but I do not miss getting my ass kicked by super armor shenanigans.

Same here, took me 4-5 tries to get her down

Same, the AI input reading is pretty blatant. She has all the tools to be OP, but her AI just sometimes lets you win, it seems.

When it happens EVERY damn time with very little casualties ever mentioned, I have no doubt that people simply considers it as once a year spectacle (kinda like christmas or new year) or corporate stunt to make the tournament interesting. In real life, there is that annual event in Spain where a herd of 6 or so bulls were let loose on the street and some people would jump in front of the charging bulls to run and lead the bulls to their pens. Often times the same bulls would also be used for the bullfight later on the same day. There are some reported deaths too, dozens of people reportedly injured every year, yet the festival has lasted till now (COVID kinda stop it for two years) since 1900-ies. If something like that can last for so long in real life, why not KOF which happens in a fictional world? At least it's not like recent Tekken and Dead or Alive where majority of important events of the main story happens *outside* of the titular tournament.

Dragon Ball

Honestly, not every time. Half of them or so have the life threatening situation happen outside of the actual KOF arena and no spectators around.

And with that an Adelheid story arc as well! That would be juicy stuff ^^

Maybe if they release Omega Rugal, they will have him as a secret boss and make him more insane AI than 2002um.

God no...remember the past boss like Rugal lol

Bruh Otoma-Raga have all the tools for KOF Bosses in fact she is broken as hell and her second form have crazy damage output blame her Ai for not use her moves that well someone mod the game to make Otoma-Raga playble and post Combo video with Otoma-Raga i suggest watch Otoma-Raga Combo video you will Shocked Especially in her second form 7 hit Combo and you are dead lol even without Climax super Also Level one or level Two Super then Cancel to her Climax super and You are dead too I will say Otoma-Raga suffer stupid Ai same as Orochi in 97

@V. S. Werejester who gives a shit? xD its just story mode nobody cares

its pretty god dam hard

For those who think it’s because of the boss itself or the game, not even close. This is the least hype Max ever (on top of positive and negative bias overload) and I do not know how to feel.

Or if they make it the second fase of Reverse, like old games that had an easy and a hard fase

Second phase can do a third of your health bar in one hit with the projectiles, Max got lucky and she didn't really use it in the second phase. Otomo=Raga is just Orochi 2.0 Broken and nigh unbeatable moveset in the hands of a rock stupid and timid AI that doesn't know how to take advantage of them properly, to make it more of a Boss Rage they just need to make her more aggressive but that would quickly go from not hard enough to too hard because of how busted the moveset is. Look at Mizuchi from Neo Geo Battle Colliseum if you want to see more or less what happens when they don't give a boss like this a dumb AI handicap.

Because back then the AI was designed to take your money

Most of them were not challenging. They were just bullshit. There's a difference.

Was thinking the same thing. Her aura that nullifies hit stun on her makes her frustrating too. You can't go too ham, otherwise she just WACKS you.
