Real bozo stuff here Originally streamed/recorded on April 4th, 2022. Editor: THEFIERYREDHEAD / @thefieryredhead Main Channel / jerma985 Twitch Stream: / jerma985
Yeah I was talking to Jerma the other day and he told me that he likes to bang his face into any wall he can't even slightly see his reflection in. It's getting to be a huge problem because he gets too dizzy to drink his meds, but when he sees himself he just needs to jerk off and he'll be fine.
jerma being absolutely undeniably correct with ludvig, gael, and horah loux, followed by him throwing out the 15-year-old on twitter level take of "every sekiro boss is C or below" is exactly the kind of emotional rollercoaster i come here for
@@jeksewnoleeray1020 To be fair, guardian ape is a sick fucking boss. As much as it looks like a dark souls boss on steroids, you can still deflect a lot of its attacks with some undeflectable attacks like poop bomb and terror scream to keep you on your toes and it has that juicy 1v1 feeling that every sekiro boss has. Through presentation alone it's one of the best bosses I've ever fought alongside the greatest swordmaster that swings around lightning and an immortal dragon and it's a monkey that throws shit at you.
@@risu2312 guardian ape would be a fantastic boss in a souls game, imo the mechanics just don't fit very well with sekiro. As I said, phase 2 is fine though, the moves work well although I don't think it's that fun. Presentation wise it's definitely good, I'm just talking purely mechanics. The fact that it comes back as a shitty gank fight also sours the experience. guardian ape is a little bit boring but headless ape is the WORST fight in the game imo.
Whenever Jerma does tier lists I feel a kind of primordial fear in the pit of my stomach knowing this man will have the most insane takes and be totally gobsmacked when he learns that it's not normal
this whole 'tier list' thing is weird. "oh, online content creator, would you like to rank content in media you like according to your own individual opinion?" "ye" "oh no sorry jerma a large majority of us didn't experience trouble at this point, therefore your experience is INVALID"
Maybe I’m alone in this but I miss the Jerma era where the only thing on his channel for, like, five months was a 24-hour stream in which he non-stop protested against driver’s licenses in front of a Boston DMV
You're not alone, some of my all time faves on this channel are all the videos where he just is on camera and talks talks talks talks talks, like the Anthony Banthony, Aquaman, and wasp ones
@@arvidbergmanno no no you misunderstand, the ONLY content on his entire channel was this 24 hour DMV stream. He got like, ~150 viewers at most at a particular time, and it was mostly local residents calling him mean names
Oh yeah my favorite part was when he would get a base ball bat and start just destroying public property and yell about it being pay back for his fines from tickets. People called him the “crazy car guy” different times I guess
"I think all the sekiro bosses are C or lower" and with that statement alone Jerma had not only made chat RAVENOUS but threw his own opinion into a volcano. Truly my streamer.
@@m.dave2141pre patch radahn is so much better. He’s way too easy now. He was the only boss besides malenia that I was stuck on for more than 2 hours I love that fight. Some people don’t like big bosses but idk he clicked with me really well.
Coming here and seeing the sheer HATRED this man harbours for Sekiro right after rewatching the streams where he seems to be loving it really puts in perspective how antisocial personality disorder correlates to deceptive and manipulative behaviour. Chilling stuff.
It's crazy that Jerma has played enough of fromsoft games that he has his own opinions on the bosses. He struggles but has so much fun, and he's been playing these games since he started streaming basically. No jokes or anything just impressed with Jermas commitment to these games despite being... Jerma.
@@emmanuelureta4161 i dont think his age is a problem, its more that hes just oblivious and a bit of an idiot but he knows how to play into that and embrace it
She's probably my absolute favourite boss in all of elden ring solely because of how much effort it took for me to beat her, so I grew an emotional attachment to it. But even then, that fucking waterfowl dance is easily the worst damn moves in any game I've played, just an instant wipe 99% of the time. And for anyone trying to share the videos of people dodging it, NO, I don't fucking care, it's just not doable
i like how he includes bosses he spent 2 hours on, bosses he one-shot on the first try, and bosses he barely remembers fighting at all but ends up laughing at chat making fun of them all in the same category
it is baffling to see Lady Butterfly so low. She's put under moonlight butterfly and Fia's champions, which is just insane to me because I've always though she was one of the best fights fromsoft has ever made.
Lady butterfly was real mixed for me. Having the light summon things try and swarm you, before flying into the air as a homing attack was really annoying. Kinda felt like the fight dragged a bit too much. Also the seeds being a limited item until super late game is bullshit.
"Jerma from Soft Edition" momentarily transported me to a better world where Jerma was a reporter for a news service catering to the interests of soft boys. It was watched exclusively by lesbians & had a higher viewership than ESPN.
i actually agree with jerma on the waterfowl dance, it worsens the fight. i remember having fun actually dodging and weaving through her attacks and getting hits in, until i learned of that move. once she’s under the health threshold of 60% and starts doing that move the fight goes from a dance between two fighters to “if you are anywhere at all close to me during this battle, go fuck yourself”
Waterfowl is such a stain on an otherwise really good boss. The second and third parts of the attack actually feel really cool to dodge too bc you have to confidently roll in or do some precise walking, but the first part is so dumb (unless you can do the psycho walk around her strat)
For me the worst part about her being such a hard boss is her actual character design, shes literally a tryhard sweat who thinks never losing is cool and therefore stretches the truth to brag about it (undefeated!? Really now???) Shes also an optional boss in a secret corner of the world so theres no narrative reason to actually fight her other than to prove youre better, kinda like accepting a 1v1 from a toxic sweatlord in an fps and they rig the settings in custom games to their favor. It makes actually putting up with her bullshit ten times worse compared to say beating Isshin, Gwyn or Radagon (list goes on) cause it just feels like a little kid shouting "nah I have instant death move, nah I have healing on hit, nah Im the best swordsman ever" fuck that guy lmao. Edit: just wanted to clarify that they did do a really good job of characterising her this way and I do find that interesting but I still hate the fight.
So, the Dark Souls 2 bosses are weird, but there's a unique aspect in Dark Souls 2 where things you do in the world can contribute to the boss fights, like collecting enough Giant Souls to beat Vendrick, lighting the sconces for the Lost Sinner, freeing the Ivory knights to go up against the blackened knights. That's not a thing that you see much in the other games
I liked the concept behind the Old Monk, it was supposed to connect you with another player and you each appeared as the boss in the other person's game. In practice I don't think it ever worked for me though.
"all of the sekiro bosses are going to be C or lower" i was suspicious with him putting Hoarah Loux so high, and the various meat grinder incidents, but now it's confirmed: He is clinically insane. there is no man behind that face anymore.
Hoarah Loux would've been top tier, if the animations were consistent. every time i was grabbed, it never felt like it was my fault. He *_literally_* breaks the laws of physics, just to hang out in midair, so he can rollcatch you. go fight him again, and check out the very first move he does after the phase transition. really watch the animation of the attack. the practice of delayed animations is blatantly obvious "hard game" quota filler, and is one of my critiques of the game in general. if he didn't have animation issues, he'd be fantastic. a bit too much damage (that's an ER endgame thing though; not just him), but great otherwise. as it is now though? I'd rather fight the curse-rotted greatwood. edit: Godfrey though? S tier, easy. Maybe A if he used his ground lava fissure too much on my most recent playthrough, lol. But, just like Elden Beast and Radagon, a painful second phase diminishes the value of a standout first phase.
Before they added replayable boss fights, I had a separate save file to fight Isshin or Demon of Hatred *for fun* because, yes, deflecting demon stomps is satisfying and you can totally beat him with posture damage before his health is depleted.
That's interesting that he put Ludwig at the top immediately. The only thing that stood out to me was the OST and the moonlight GS. Which is always cool to see.
I love how terrible every single one of his sekiro opinions are, like how is he struggling on lady butterfly so much nvm after hearing him say he struggled on the divine dragon boss fight I understand
Putting loretta in a tier and radahn in f tier is enough to make gandhi think of doxxing someone, let alone me. Sorry jerma, should ve had the unoriginal opinion.
How can anyone hate Isshin he's one of the most fair and balanced hard bosses they've ever done. Absolutely nothing that Isshin does ever feels unfair or bullshit, unlike some other hard bosses. That fight is fucking flawless.
It's probably the 4 phases that did it for him. When you're fighting him for the first time, each time you get past one stage you need to completely relearn everything about the next stage, and when you inevitably die a bunch you have to repeat earlier stages.
Its one of the only bosses that has zero bs attacks. All of his attacks have counters, he has no bs hitboxes, and the overall flow of his fight is just outstanding
Sometimes it's hard to see if genichiro is doing a sweep attack or a thrust attack when he's hiding in the grass. Also, for some reason the mikiri counter just sometimes doesn't work against isshin, maybe because the terrain is uneven? Otherwise, I think it's perfect
My favorite DS3 boss is Lordran and Lorian and my favorite bloodborne boss is probably Vicar Amelia, Lady Maria, or Father Gascoigne. I haven't finished Elden Ring but my favorite so far is maybe Malenia (I got lucky with waterfowl dance RNG I think but once I got to phase 2 it was so much fun). I also love Rennala as a concept but her second phase is too easy, sadly. For Sekiro, Genichiro and Corrupted Monk are my favorites. I dont really like DS1 or 2 that much (rip). Didn't play Demon Souls.
Emma, both Isshins and both Genichiros are my favourites, with first phase Shura Isshin being my #1. I just love everything you can deflect/counter, the only attacks I don't like from Emma and first phase Shura Isshin are the grabs. Shura Isshin second phase has my least favourite attack in the game though, when they took the most satisfying parry in the game with his overhead strike and turned it into "dodge or you'll get hit by the flame followup even if you parry the overhead strike"
I think Dark Souls 2 is very interesting for how much its format inspired Elden Ring, especially in the boss placement philosophy where it uses bosses for entertainment and flavour rather than deep lore most of the time. Most DS2 bosses are just "cool fights" or big enemies that are just random challenges for the sake of breaking it up or adding scale to the world. "hey take a break real quick and just have a fat brawl" kinda thing. Personally I love DS2 but it really cant stand up in comparison to the other games in this specific context cause it was never really meant to be viewed like that.
except elden ring doesnt do that, not in the slightest. I initially thought that was the case aswell, as I couldn't imagine how each of the seemingly inconsequential dungeon bosses could have actual lore behind them, but they do, and the implications they have are massive. RU-vidrs like hawkshaw and the tarnished archaeologist look into these details extensively.
@@stevowilliams8279 yeah I know. Im saying Elden Ring gets the best of both worlds, Ds2 encounter design and frequency with interesting lore. Probably shouldve been clearer in my initial comment tbf cause I was just mainly talking about Ds2 there.
Seeing him put Radahn below fucking Tibia Mariner actually caused me more pain then I thought possible. I knew what I was getting into watching this video and it still broke me
The audacity of Jerma saying "we have to live in reality" after a delusional spree caused by what could only have been an entire gallon of copium is unfathomable to me
Giving Isshin an F is straight up blasphemy. For me this is the second best fight they've ever made. Might even be the best one for me since, recency bias is a thing, and my number 1 ranking for Messmer might change.
It irritates me to no end that FromSoft still has never implemented a boss rush mode in any of their games. Like goddamnit, I just want to fight Ludwig without playing through the whole game again.
Sekiro is the only FromSoft game where I put no bosses below B except the apes, and they're only there because you have to fight them like they're Souls bosses which isn't as fun as Sekiro's usual combat.
