Always did like imagining how brutal this boss really was. Think about it. Eggman didn't want to make anymore fancy robots. No lasers. No extra gimmicks. He wanted to throwdown in what felt to be the final showdown. Big Arm countered everything sonic could do. Can't jump on top of him easy, and he brutally slams sonic to the platform, if he catches you. Great music too.

He even makes Super Sonic lose rings but that's due to a bug in the game where it thinks you wouldn't have Super Sonic long enough to fight him.
@demi-femme48214 жыл бұрын
@@yellowmello1223 I wouldn't put it past Big Arms' capabilities lore-wise. The same game shows that enough blunt force can knock Sonic out of his Super state, and being Super has never been enough to stop Sonic from getting crushed. Maybe sheer blunt force is the weakness of a Super form and more final bosses should use it.
@yellowmello12234 жыл бұрын
@@demi-femme4821 Well, Knuckles does deal with the Master Emerald everyday, which can cancel out the effects of the chaos emeralds if needed, and, I mean, nothing can survive having something twice their weight making them into pulp. Not even with the power of the chaos emeralds. Edit: Oh yeah, and if you play 3&K, and you get to Big Arms as Knuckles and he slams you as Super Knuckles, you just bounce off the ground like a rubber ball.
