once that happened for me seeing her far slowly to her death i jumped up with joy knowing my misery with the bitch would finally end. also making sure i stayed alive before she died.also my friend had the same thing happen to him and told the same tragic yet loving tale of the plauline spirit battle

me and it was hard because peach was being a coward Edit: the comment blew up

Me I had to lure peach up to the top and defeat her with zero suit samus's super. I hate this one forever.

All i did is wait for the time slow thing and then get it and spam banjos side b on peach

I just used the super scope it is really easy

LEGIT THATS IT.

75m is a stupid stage overall.

@@taralynnallen agreed

Yeah is correct

Ignoring the fact That you have like a Quarter of normal jumphight-

Honestly, I think Alucard should've been on this list. The only saving grace is if you have an Assist Killer spirit, like sheriff.

Laughs in health when poisoned

Ah hard as I tried to kill Ridley, he died by the Dark Emperor's hand in the end

I mean if even the CREATOR of the game cheese something you know its hard xD

I somehow managed to do it lol

I just beat Pauline she's ez

Use a spirit with the staff equipped ability. Combine with spirits that increase shooting damage. Two well time hits at the start of the match and its over. Three if you are not lucky.

I got lucky and peach just fell after an up b

How f@$&ing ironic! HOW F@$&ING IRONIC!

As soon as she said that in the fight my jump power decreased

Ironic.

Logic 👍

Me to for the doctor willy I used metal killer and 2 attack boot and used doctor Mario and spammed down special

Noted

was looking for this comment

For 9v and 18v,you have to kill the assist trophy first. Once you do,they are vulnerable. Also,remember to grab the items before they do.

The challenge is to beat them without using spirits

When even God himself has to use cheese, you know that it's a hard spirit battle.

Listen I only use bowser

Big Boss + Heal on KO support spirit is the best strat for this, indeed

i hATE IT and i think thats also the one that plays for the donkey Kong and lady fight so I already hate it

Haha never.

I beat it by playing ness and back throwing dk at the top left part of the stage.

Well at least there's Break Free (Lead the Way)! I liked that song better anyway.

She jumped off for me.

i used the s t a f f

Here’s a tip to making her almost a free spirit: Use a spirit team with Cupid (Staff Equipped) and Roll Caskett (Shooting Attack Up)

Even on that mode she was tricky

@angrysonic bird facts

Pauline spirit:Can't kill me Me:uses beast ganon spirit Pauline Spirit: :O

for ho-oh that guy touched something called uhh, i dont think i remember

Same thing happened to me when I went to fight The Boss ZSS, having summoned a Madama Butterfly for it. I psyched myself to finally beat her, only for her to SD

I would have added that at number 10

the key is using galaga, otherwise it's horrendous

*LAUGHS IN R.O.B. BEING A HEAVYWEIGHT*

On one of my tries on Dark Emperor, I bounced off Ridley's head just as the stage sunk all the way because of the Dark Emperor taking the stage

Big DK with a metal box took out Ridley in two hits

That’s exactly what I used

I won because Ridley SD’d with side B

Is this the power of Golden Experience Requiem?

Really? I hated it

He was blown away like I was!

Not to brag, but I defeated Caeda with spirits.

Caeda is ez lol

I fought I did Caeda easy

Madame Butterfly but sadly that's located at the final-segment of the game after beating nearly every fight.

@@MrSolomonGaming I actually went back to the beginning just to fight the boss

Gruntilda could be pretty useful too, right?

@@MrSolomonGaming Could just summon her.... honestly I've acquired over 500 spirits, 20 of them Legendary before doing the story mode, all from the Spirit Board or from Summoning. Still to this day I've yet to try the story >_>

@@MrSolomonGaming Oh, yeah! That one turned the Gruntilda spirit battle into a joke.

Omg Ashely SUCKED but her spirit is so worth it

Yes, I hated that one, I even rage quitted twice

Ain't that hard tho

Bah, it's nothing compared to 9 and 15-Volt

Ashley was a pain but she and that Ridley can be cheesed with Chrom up-B spikes. Caeda deserved the top spot but Ashley deserved top 12 consideration.

Really? That was as subtle as a brick.

I haven't really heard that many sponsorship transitions😅

Xd its absolutely good bro

That was smooth.

@@turtle4283 Thanks

he said ''i was BLOWN away

I had to just watch that transition a few times

I feel like Zelda equipped with the great fairy deserves a place on this list.

One punch mac with K.O. punch if they’re all in your face, DEATH.

ThainePlays that made me remember the time i 100% the world of light lol

I think l got a strat just ignore it untill you have madame butterfly because the poison wont damage you it will heal you

I 100% world of light 3 times.... I regret it

Some of them you need to backtrack through World of Light to be able to obtain them

Pretty much so. Some legend spirits are kinda good like viridi for tabuu Edit: viridi has metal killer

Exactly tf

For that dry bowser one, I didn't have a lava immunity spirit, only lava resists. I had to use Steve's blocks to stay afloat

Not really, I only had problem with dr wily but then I discovered ness so it didn’t matter

Same all I did was go in as isabell and spam her hammer

@@sugarsnaap What I did is use Kirby, float above the Mega Mans or Dr. Mario, then use Down B. Then repeat the process.

@Dermot Hamill I did the same thing lmao. I got it after 5 tries.

@@Max-ro7sz I use that same strategy to beat all the hard spirits that I can't beat if I'm playing fair.

Did it in two cuz I had fallen of the ledge by accident then I spammed up b with kirby

Well for the rest of us...we suffered...

I had the same thing happen to me as bandy did with dumb luck

I don’t think olimar is fair, so I don’t really use him.

Christopher Moon all of the characters killed themselves for me.

I saw another player used Olimar against Pauline and he struck her in one hit. I can't remember what Spirit team the player used though.

Fun fact metal slash can't appear during that Spirit battle, trust me I've tried

Druid T lmaoooo!!!

I did dr wily before hero was released. Took me around 1 hour for me :(

Druid T it can, it’s just way more unlikely during metal spirit battles

Well, money COULD be an issue

yeah, and on hard mew2king was another person who beat WoL 100% spiritless

@ANTHONY KRAVCHISHIN can people like you leave him alone? "Oh no, stickmaster is commenting on a video! I mean, he's not offending me in anyway, but I still hate him, because he's everywhere!"

I did it too, it took years off of my life and gave them back when I beat wily.

Only reason I haven't started my own Spiritless run is that I'm waiting for the 3.0 update (just in case that messes with previous strategies). Once that drops, I will for certain be recording that for my channel!

I want to see that haha sepcially the ones on the top

I did it without spirits, you get lucky.. she fell to her death just gimp her somehow it was hell nonetheless

The only way I beat it spiritless was by saving that battle until I got Ganondorf. I constantly jumped to avoid poison damage and landed as many aerials as I could. Once my FS Meter was full I was able to knock her off the stage and quickly spike her with Ganondorf''s Final smash. I'm not the type to cheese battles with Kirby like a lot of people do

@@BasementSkeleton97 yeah, I can't knock em for doing it but no I fought my damnest with Link and somehow the AI killed itself took me an hour it was hell Good on you for that thought took actual balls for that lol.

I used Yoshi, ate him, and he fell off as an egg...

I did her, slammed down B with DK and used a poison remover spirit.

My brother and I did double Ridley drag spams lol

Thats what i did!

For me, I just spammed Bowser's Side Special until his health ran out.

Omfg I should've just done that

It was really hard for me at first since I was using Kirby

This is like the original donkey Kong game peach is Pauline Mario is jump man and donkey Kong is donkey kong

This is why it's so hard

I’m kinda surprised Nathaniel didn’t mention how Mario always starts that battle with a hammer.

@@peterpham9061 :/ the original game’s antagonist was cranky kong

@@peterpham9061 we know but still

Damn! You should’ve bought a lottery ticket with that luck!

I accidentally Down-B’d with Kirby offstage, and she managed to fall before my up B inevitably failed

She fell off herself without me even attacking

I spent roughly 2 and a half hours trying to defeat this spirit. In the end though, Zero Suit Samus jumped off the stage and recovered the wrong way like with what happened to you. I was so pissed off though because it felt like she had pity for me and did it on purpose. Needless to say I left that match feeling unsatisfied with a godly spirit.

SAME

I beat Giga Mac on my first try with very low health because he just acted stupid whilst I bombarded him with Sonic's homing attack

that spelling

Zheng Wen Yu finally someone talks about 9 &18 volt

Same with 9 and 18 volt spirit battle being absolutely ballsy

Have you tried the ore club?

Use Ganondorf. They're annoying but if you have the Double Smashes Skill Tree, I killed everything in Galeem's control

Oh god, they took forever, how they aren't in the list is BEYOND me.

It was hard AF, I agree. What made easier for me was spamming down+B as DK to give enough damage and after that I knocked out two of them at the same time (almost), leaving with just one. Still, it took me three tries to finally beat them.

Ketchup and uhhhh G R E A T Z A P F I S H

I completely agree, it's not hard to fight against Villager and Incineroar, but Sheriff is a pain the ass

That spirit took me like two weeks to beat

Was thinking to myself this whole video, Where are 9 volt &18 volt lol

I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO WIN

I won against Pauline!

@@ILoveYouMetaKnight to be honest after hearing this i thought it would be tough,in the end i won first time on max difficulty ,also well played sir .

Cerulean Mr. AL I don’t think he did, most of them he said he just gave up.

@@yarnyoshimak7913 Oh yeah, I posted that before finishing the video. Oh well.

@@therupz Wait, who?

@@CeruleanHee-ho kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nrSIlcybr6ivh4E.html he doesn't try do it without spirits straight away though

Or Just spam Simon and Richter up b

Malagon I swear I was thinking that too

You can’t absorb the fire. I tried once and the Curry does not work.

And for arguments sake let’s assume that it does work, Lucas uses absorb and then what? That gives Charizard the perfect opportunity to use flare blitz

Sure, but even if you could, what else can you do? Charizard will just smack you with a tilt, or Sakurai forbid get a grab on you.

I actually beat dark emperor on my first try naw I'm serious

I beat Pauline spirit on my 1st try, I foot stooled her and she just fell to her death, why didn’t she try to recover? Kinda dumb if you ask me

Honestly, giga Mac is the hardest spirit in the game with spirits...

@@handsomeorange198 just use command grabs and spam it, I did that and beat the Giga max spirit

I won thanks to Ganon's Smash Meter

LoL

Thats the speedrun strat believe it or not

Incineroar’s Up Special would also help.

Or(what I did) get corrin and just repeatably jump on the rope getting height so I could use his/her down smash every time he comes by.

Is that actually a achieve thing

Thats how I beat it

interestingly, warriors pronounces her name without the H. they just say "seeda"

@@Underworlder5 Odd. I haven't seen a ton of Warriors, so I didn't know that.

My guess is, the boss shouldn't take any damage. Any damage is already too high lol

No, I did too!

Me too. When I heard the Mega Man music, I knew it was Dr. Wily. P.S. Who thought Jeff Spirit would be on here?

Nah. You, like most of us, have PTSD. Hearing Snake Eater almost made me have an anxiety attack.

Fax

The one that made me crying my guts out was wind fish oh my god that is the worst spirit I ever had to face I used sephiroth almost everytime and by luck I was somehow able to get the spirit

Me to

Same

Luis Pizana I use kirby Then that means Evil luagh

Luis Pizana I found his up special easier

Me to I spammed it on every single spirit battle

Oh my 😂😂😂😂

I agree with this. The Dry Bowser battle is intended to be free once you get a spirit that protects against lava. Same for any battle with heavy wind and other hazards. The idea is that if you find a spirit that you are struggling with, that you can come back once you have a better team of spirits to assist.

I'd argue number 2 was still hard... especially if you did it the "true" way. Snake with young Ocelot spirit.

Yeah the game clearly doesn't intend for you not to use Spirits as you do like 1 damage a hit without them, and several of these battles are made much easier from Spirits than others.

@@Pokemonhacker1337 I wouldn't exactly call Dry Bowser "free", since he's still a hard hitter who gets curry breath and increased defense. But still, I'd definitely consider him easier than the likes of Dr. Wily or Giga Mac

​​​@@SamTheMarioMan It's a free(r) fight after you get and upgrade either Balder or Diancie (forgot which had the advantage in this fight) along with fire immunity. You see, the curry counts as a projectile so these two evolved spirits who give you Franklin badge help you withstand the curry and even damage back at Bowser, so your only worry is to defeat Bowser enough for the defense buffs to not get intrusive and for your badge to not expire Oh, and btw. If you are good at using either Ness or Lucas, that can also help since their down B heals with projectiles or so I remember

Ludwig's Doomship noice

Thats the better form to kill her because you become inmortal for that fast heal only for touch the ground

Flying Gorilla, as in the boss, from metal gear. I know Medusa (uprising) and a critical hit spirit with Ridleys down-b is insane but it doesn’t help when there’s poison.

What about Gruntilda? She makes your stats go up in poison!

All I did is trick her to just fall off
