Can Tournament Players Beat The Craziest Guilty Gear Strive Bosses? 

Swim, as the king of stage 9, which is the hardest?

@@twoinone_Nago and it’s not even close

@@twoinone_ I’d say May, especially with how Diaphone is doing it here. May just does any move and you’ve got like at least 3 other things that will spawn on the screen to kill you. Elphelt and Asuka are also up there, Elphelt has literal unblockable setups she’ll just do on you and Asuka(as seen in this video) is near unstoppable if he can get his offense started.

Faust is sooooo cheap. Even in a combo you can be knocked out because stuff drops randomly. He always throws 2 items and 1 is almost always a meteor. Plus you are always in afro state and his trumpet works against you always

@@TheFondalizer underrated boss for sure, but honestly feels like a slightly worse(as in easier to fight) May. Once he starts meteoring and mini fausting though, shit can get real grim real quick

tbh I was honestly both surprised and very happy at the touhou style editing during asuka's fight

There's actually someone that tried this but it didn't make the video.. they kept messing up the timing tho LOL

What a shame... RIP If only I could be there... Would have made 100 for free lol. Might even fight through the arcade just to make it legit XD

Butterfly Throw?

Yea if this does well I'd probably have a human control the boss characters instead for next time so I can include everything. In my testing the ones missing all were easier to beat than these lol

@@Diaphone A human playing the bosses seems literally unbeatable

@@Diaphone Bruh, Boss Ky or Nago controlled by a human sounds (and is) terrifying.

@@Watburnt lol yea, would need to do something to even things out… I have a couple of ideas ngl

@@hazzydahaka13 With no blood penalty boss nago can loop bayblade-shizu indefinitely. A human player could actually just guarantee a victory by getting you to block once.

Don't lose a single round throughout the arcade run, including stage 8

It's YungFalcon lmao If it isn't pulling up, look for YungFalcon Final Fantasy and that should do it.

Google, "Mixbox Arcade"

Oh good point, thanks :)

Crazy single player fighting games bosses are kind of a classic, people love them.

casual players are not even likely to fight the bosses, since you need to not lose a single round until you get to them, and beat an easier version of the boss without losing a round as well before you get to their strongest form in stage 9. people who like to face the bosses are well aware that they're gonna be hard, and you have unlimited retries so it's fine if they're hard, you eventually learn how to overcome them

What, I've seen my casual friends beat boss nago, they thought it was fun.

they are designed to be bullshit like secret arcade bosses used to be plus its fun tryign to figure out how to beat the busted bosses CPU's are never fun to fight unless they have soem crazy gimmick like these bosses not to menton you cant lose a single round inlclusing the slightly easier versions of these bosses which are still pretty tough so casual players probably cant even reach stage 9

The super bosses of GG Strive are not really "secret", and that's my issue here. To meet any of those bosses without the AI partner to make them more reasonable, you only have to beat arcade without losing a round. The games you guys are referencing usually often have way more specific conditions to meet the super boss (like have X super finishes or X perfects at least during the arcade run). Which are much harder to do by accident and can be easily avoided on purpose when you know about them. In GG Strive, I basically have to suicide a round on purpose to avoid facing those bosses when I don't feel like it, which is completely annoying. In GBVS, or any game with a better designed arcade mode, I can just do less super finishes and avoid fighting Lucilius if I feel like it, without the whole thing feeling like a drag. So, sorry. It's bad design. Old fighting games may have gotten a lot of things right, but it doesn't mean we have to stick to all their bad decisions either. Plus, when you think about it, the goal of those super hard bosses was to steal quarters, which makes no sense in a home console environment.
