some more backstory regarding my attempts: this video is the result of nearly 8 hours worth of attempts spread across 3 days. using strike raid against MF at first was a bit of a joke move on my part just to see if it worked after getting good mileage out of it against VLS, and behold, it actually staggers consistently against MF when you use it to punish the X attack. you can also use it to punish the rope if you throw it as soon as the line effect disappears, but to less certainty as the X attack. only on rare occasions did he ever manage to break out and combo me after punishing the X attack with strike raid, so its very safe. only 1 time during the whole 8 hour tirade did he ever stop time when I hit him with strike raid, which is super weird. Freeze raid does much more damage but does not make him stagger at all, so its super risky to use. Unison Rush is incredibly risky, but also very helpful for second phase as it has full invulnerability and can actually do a good deal of damage if MF tries to combo you as you use it. I would of actually killed him at 6:07 if I hit him one more time with it On a side note, I discovered a faster way to cast Dark Haze: normally it has a flashy charge up before the attack comes out, but if you mash it while in a slide, you'll do the attack with the same activation time as a slide. Overall, I had a surprising amount of fun with this strike raid method since I found it incredibly satisfying to actually stagger this asshole consistently with it, and I've always found Terra's slide incredibly fun especially combined with moves like Strike Raid and Slide Dash. First phase is actually pretty reasonable outside of bullshit moves like lasers and that aerial dash attack which kills you for no good reason because of how aerial stagger is programmed in this game, since Terra recovers /faster/ for some ungodly reason in midair when he gets hit from the back or something, which means if you aren't slamming your cures as soon as you get knocked in mid air, you'll die in a flash.

Lingering Will: Fight him for hours until you master each and every single one of attack patterns and defeat him. Mysterious Figure: Fight him for hours until you get lucky and defeat him.

Thanks to this fight I had lost all hope for future Kingdom Hearts superbosses... Then Phantom Aqua happened and all is fine again.

"heh easy" - Terra (secretly dying inside)

0:44 random tornado doing its own thing.

7:19 "eh, easy" sure thing Terra.

Someone really pissed off nomura when he made this fight.

the biggest difference between kh 2 and bbs is in bbs being in the air is an absolute death sentence

"Honor" The one think I will not give this boss in particular.

>Honorable >Mysterious Figure Excuse me?

There two types of players who do this battle. Those who use Ven and Aqua and cheese this. And those who are mental masochists and do Terra without any cheesing. Sham, my dude. Who hurt you?

Welcome to the Salty Spitoon how tough are ya? How tough am I? I beat Mysterious figure. Yeah, so? *With Terra*

I love the expression on Terra’s face when he’s healing at 5:49, it’s such a representation of what the fight feels like

Special attack: Super Mega Destruction Dark Combo Of Darkness And Destru- **Blocks** OH COME ON

- I'm gonna defeat the mysterious figure. - Ok - With Terra - Excuse me? Are you insane?

Literally every attack leaves you with one HP and even does really long combos. Regenerates life, has op abilities and yet he can be defeated with avoiding in unfair conditions. He would take my honor and clean his ass with it

1:28 Ah... _So you're approaching me..._

2:44 My parents waiting for me to quit playing to eat dinner

Full respect to you, man. WHAT A FIGHT AND WITH THOSE COMMANDOS.

*After hearing so much about this fight, this is the first video I've seen of this fight.* WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE CAN TAKE AWAY YOUR COMMANDS?!

Since playing this game back on PSP, I haven't really bothered watching anyone doing this fight. Now I come here, and I see people air-dashing out of his rope move. For a moment, I thought it was just something you could always do, and I literally felt like my whole life was a lie. Now I see some comments saying it's not something you can do in the PSP one... Thank god, I wasn't imagining things. Props to you though man, skills.

psp version there was no escaping that hook...you kids have it easy *shivers* that damn hook....

Dude seriously thank you for uploading the quality BBS videos, they give me life cause I really like the game and it wounds me when all other content regarding it is nothing but cheese

I like how the general consensus fighting MF is: Fight using Aqua or Ven: That's cool bro. Fight using Terra: Why are you doing this to yourself?

And here I am, using quicksaves and quickloads "Xehanort! I come to bargain!"

' the honorable way? with Once more and Second Chance? *you mean the only possible way?*

In a nutshell: HEAL HEAL HEAL HEAL HEAL YOU WANT SOME!? OUCHOUCHOUCH HEAL HEAL HEAL TAKE THAT! That's why i've been bored after defeat him for the 10th time...

I love how the segment from 1:20 to 1:48 synchronizes perfectly with the violin part from the boss theme!

I can't even begin to imagine how nervous you were when he made him visible at the end and you saw he had just one HP left. What a clutch. You did amazing.

Probably the best fight I've seen with Terra vs that time-travelling asshole. Good job

2:33 - Seeing you have Terra use his retaliating slash against MF in the air like that was the ballsiest thing I have ever seen. Amazing

"ha easy"

LOL at 4:02. He's walking over to you off screen and it looks like you were like "OH SHIT!" and backed away

6:43 Ooooo, right in the gut.

“I forgot to get a surge command throughout the entire playthrough so I’ll do this instead”

i get the feeling thats the look he have on his face 0:06 when you play as terra

2:01 PERFECT SYNC!! (kinda)

I love how you're using regular Cure instead of Cura/Curaga. Even though every attack reduces you to 1 HP, most people use Curaga even though HP healing amounts mean nothing here.

So these are the dephts of hell *HELP* *ME*

I still remember the nightmare fuel that was this fight on the PSP with Terra. This rope thing meant insta-death 99% of the time... Congrats btw, loved the creative strategy!

Yeah this boss fight is really easy... To die.

0:29 mysterious figure: *blows away commands* Me: WHAT?!

Terra: Easy! * meanwhile, in another universe * Vegeta: Flawless victory.

Man, there are a couple perfectly timed uses of Leaf Bracer in this video that just blow my mind. As a die hard BBS fan I really appreciate this video, well done

This isn't enough, I need a worst kind of self-torturing, how about this: 2 cure, fire dash, blizzard edge, fire strike, fire and thunder With Terra, obv

I remember back when the PSP version came out everyone swore up and down that you couldn't legitamately beat this guy with Terra without Thunder Surges. Bravo Stick, your dedication to this game far eclipses my own

"Hi! I'm Terra.And this is Jackass"

Phantom: *smacks terra* Terra: Heal! *rinse and repeat XD*

That finishing move. It's like he didn't expect Terra to suddenly dash and stab his gut.

Eraqus: Terra, Aqua you both preformed commendably. (suddenly sees future Terra killing Young Xehanort without surges) However, since Terra has changed our fates in a good way, only Terra has shown the mark of mastery by default. Aqua: But he used darkness in the clash between me and him. Eraqus: I've somehow seen the future and it's shown me that He killed the Xehanort in the past, but there is always next ti- Aqua (Under the control of darkness): *You Freak! I'm going to kill you!* Eraqus: Has the darkness taken you, Aqua!?

Honestly I feel like people heal in proud mode not necessarily because it increases you chances of winning but because the low hp noise is so damn irritating.

"Welcome to the Salty Spittoon. How tough are 'ya?" "How tough am I?! I beat the Mysterious Figure on Critical Mode without any cheap Commands or Drives." "*Scoffs* Yeah? So?" "With Terra" "Uh! Right this way, sir..."

He was merciful. He almost never used the instakill exile move on you. Ha, just kidding. This fight doesnt know mercy.

I wonder if this is true. The reason why the Mysterious Figure is so hard on the original PSP version is because when they were programming this fight, they used patterns and coding that would be found in games like Street Fighter and Smash Bros. Giving him the aggressive AI and overpowered move set similar to a character you would find in a game like that

At 4:58, you can see Mysterious Figure recover HP. I am terrified.

let's go let's go let's go let's go you are done

5:04 "Missed me~." - Why you...!

Thats amazing the way you use Terra to beat Mysterious Figure

This is one of the best videos on youtube. Always makes me smile. ❤

I salute you good sir. Thank you for putting out this beautiful content to prove that Terra has capability even for the most unreasonable of Kingdom Hearts bosses. :) You got a like from me.

Stickman sham how did you beat mysterious figure like that with terra? I have never seen anyone beat him with terra before.

It's so weird and cool to think that tetsuya put young xehanort, xemnas, and anti-aqua in the games as secret bosses knowing full well you will be facing them in future games where you actually stand a decent chance. It makes you wonder just how far along did he plan.

That clutch leaf bracer at 3:33 tho!!

4:23 I do not know how you dodged that tbh

1:34 he pulls a Vergil!

4:53 YOUR DONE YOUR DONE YOUR DONE

Sham you are a mad man for doing this. I never got to try the secret boss but I beat everything else on the PSP version

The world should know how much skill this takes. To be one of the few who defeated mysterious figure with Terra, especially on critical are the elite of the elite. And this guy didn't use surge.

I'm trying to get the Platinum for each KH game on PS4 and I started with BBS because playing it on the PSP wasn't great. Beating this guy with Terra is all I have left, so knowing it's possible gives me hope.

Even with thunder surge i could'nt defeat him. well played

This should be a world record that you manage to beat this as Terra without surges or that you kept your sanity after doing this.

I love how detailed Terra's keylade summoning anim is animated as opposed to that of Ventus and Aqua.Theirs just appears in a large streak of light but Terra's has a whole complex summoning animation with the rows of circles made with several blocks creating a gear like appearance around his arm while also having an exclusive digital-like sound effect.

Legit, when I saw the title, i thought he was going to just spam thunder surge

This man really gave us the fight of our lives then dipped

3:56 Genius at its finest

Having platinum’d everything on critical with a few months to spare (including maxing all affinities for a fking internal trophy), going back and beating MF with Terra withh no surges is worthy of consideration... Thanks for the inspiration

Awesome, thanks for sharing

"Let's Go." "Let's Go." "Let's Go." "You're Done!" "You're Done!" "Let's Go."

For me, the hardest boss in every KH game and the hardest in every game i played in my live, remember when i played BBS and never couldn't defeat him, 6 years later i finally beat that Nightmare.

Quality Content right here!! Not the Keyblade Master we asked for, but the one we deserve; it's refreshing for someone to change it up instead of spamming Thunder Surge over, and over again

This was absolute hell even with Aqua and Ventus. This is just a really terrible super boss because of how it enables you to dodge 80% of the fight just to survive. Blocking doesn’t do any good for most of his attacks.

Mysterious figure = young xehanort ??

My favorite move is when he REWINDS TIME IF YOU HIT HIM WITH A BASIC ATTACK. 10/10 Thanks Nomura

I love that I am not the only one who uses Chaos Ripper with Terra.

my favourite part was when he said your done

Mysterius figure doesn't like this video :O Now 6

Can you imagine if MF had KH3 or even KH2 tier health bar totals. Pure lunacy.

Holy shit you madman you actually did it, I actually clenched my ass when I saw cure on cooldown fucking nice

Re-watching this video and I never knew strike raid could clank Even after watching this video dozens of times Also, unison Rush's damage goes by your magic stat. Just fun fact

so quick story time, my brother was watching me do this for the third and final time as terra after seeing me lose so many in a row as aqua. (my deck consisted of only thunder surges for reference, because why not). "this will take me probably a day or two", I said as the boss fight started. 3 minutes later I stand victorious to a beaten boss, no damage taken, a brother who thinks im a god, and a dumbfounded look on my face because I did it first try.

He repaid your honor with the spiciest set up up tornado + meteor + raging storm.

You earned a subscription, my guy.

MoM or Luxu?? The "No name" maybe is a clue... for MoM.

You don't know how truly bad you are at this game until you struggle with this boss... ...on beginner/standard difficulty.

The fucking madness that is this footage.

I gave this video a like out of sheer respect. Props.

So, three things I would like to point out; one, I never considered using unison rush when MF went invisible, which would have made it SO much easier for me (I never even bought it before). Two, he NEVER used the cross-lash attack against me as Terra. I looked into that and it was because either I was too high of a level and his move sets change as a result, or it is randomly pre-determined from when you start up a new file for Terra. Three, he VICIOUSLY used the Doomsday attack against me, in one fight he even used it 4 times in a row; Did you know that the clock's counter decreases by one value every continuous start up? For example the first time is 5, if spammed again starts at 4, then 3, and then it is 2, which stays that way until you can avoid getting caught up in it for more than 1 minute, before it resets back to 5. That less-than-2-seconds-window is completely broken, just like my thumb after that fight. I didn't beat him in the end, which I can accept because if I did, I would feel no satisfaction what-so-ever in his defeat. #MiddleFingerForMysteriousFigure

Wait....you can escape when he goes to the air and grabs you!? O.o

That block came in clutch at the beginning.

6:45 so dope! they both rush at each other!
