I just realized that where her limbs are and where the sabers are located in conjunction, she's basically a scorpion. An awesome and hard as fuck scorpion.
@@burgertim7878 Yep, NMH2 came out in early 2010 and Yamaoka didn't quit Konami until after finishing Shattered Memories in late 2009. He probably would have still been credited with a pseudonym in Shadows of the Damned had that game came out a year earlier than it did.
@@ImDeadInside69 Mind if I do a little limerick? There once was an assassin named Alice, She attacked, but with very little malice, And in one last breath, She accepted her death, By the No More Hero, Travis.
I've never noticed this until recently. Notice what she says. "There was an assassin named Alice." Not a woman. Not a person. An assassin. She doesn't think of herself as human anymore. Just a killer.
I just can't get over how similar Afro Samurai is to No More Heros 2. A swordsman with great hair is hellbent on killing the man responsible for the death of someone close to them. Their quest for revenge is successful, but when they look back down the path they came from, they see the destruction they left, and all the souls that now seek revenge against him, thus continuing the cycle of revenge.
See that...NOW THAT WAS A BATTLE!! WE HUMANS...ARE ALIVE...! IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THIS IS A VIDEO GAME... WE HUMANS...ARE LIVING...BREATHING... Psycho Travis FTW.
All these assassins join the ranks hoping to fight Travis and learn his "secret" to walking away...... the entire time he's been like, fuck this shit, I gotta go fap to more moe stuff back at my place, for the last 3 years. He's like, why don't y'all just quit?
***** That's a wonderful analysis, and in hindsight, you're right about it all! Love the Bad Girl bit, since up until her, it was kind of building Travis up to be "just a killer" until he saw what she had become.
***** Pretty sure that's Buddhism you're thinking of, not Hinduism. Hinduism has the reincarnation and everything, but Buddhism is the one with the Nirvana/Enlightenment stuff going on. Otherwise, that's pretty on the money.
***** Actually, that _is_ Buddhism. Specifically, that's one of the Paths on the Noble Eightfold Path; the Asura Path. That's a part of Buddhist symbolism and the Buddhist religion. That mention of Asura you brought up was him saying that that they were stuck on the Asura Path. Also, if you actually read his post, he also mentioned _enlightenment_. Once again, that is _Buddhism_.
I found this fight to be disappointingly easy on bitter. All you needed to do was stay on top of her and that was it. Her attacks were very predictable and easy to dodge. She's still fun, though. That fucker, Jasper, on the other hand...
Shows how powerful the story in NMH 2 is. Shows you the harsh reality of killing people who have suffered for so long, that maybe revenge isn't really worth it. A big thing this game has over the first. :)
^^^ It's just that Desperate Struggle was more "on the nose" about it and expanded upon the theme more. Holly Summers is another character that shows a bit of this, as she starts to try and find meaning in killing others
I actually couldn't finisht the first game The killing felf bad And shameful Like, they really want you to feel that all the slaughter is by your own hand,you and only you are pushing yourself to do it
@@kalipsy5700 Probably why Travis went ahead and killed her. Also probably why he kept killing after Ryuji; one way or another, they were going to die, but he thought they deserved to at least die in combat rather than just be chewed up by the Association.
@@heresy5152 but Ryuji was an honorable warrior. He didn't deserve to die like that. Besides, Travis was walking towards him before he was gunned down, presumably to finish the job. She literally had no reason to do it.
