Zone of the Enders 2 - Boss Battle With The Vic Viper From Leo 

'Option'.. 'ripple' ... 'laser'... and constantly dropping missiles as it flies. ...It's not just a tribute in the name, you're actually fighting the player ship from Gradius as a boss. Awesome.

It's like if Shinji got in the fucking robot.

That's the most hit I've ever seen the Vic Viper ever take.

Brings back such wonderful memories of a gaming era past. Still one one of my favorite games of all time. The gameplay and the soundtrack were incredible.

Oh man! So nostalgic~~! It has been years since the last time I played this. I still get chills at the moment ADA recognizes Leo and the "Flowing Destiny" instrumental starts playing in the back.

I find it funny that the battle BGM against the Vic Viper has a few elements of the Big Core theme.

OST is pure fire 11 years later.

Thank you for the guide, helped me alot with the boss. Beat him with 3 health left.

Definitely one of the gems from PS2, loved this game.

Man.... playing this game feels like you are playing Metal Gear vs. Metal Gear ....

Just wanna say I'm proud of Leo after seeing him again in this battle.

I prefer the Japanese version where Ada said:"it is you isn't it? Leo Spenbuck!"

Yes you are, you do in the game have a veeeery secret and hard to get mini-game called "Gradius", where you play as Vic-Viper. You know those "extra missions" where you can choose between Jehuty, Jehuty ver, 2, Damaged Jehuty and Naked Jehuty. Yea, noticed that there is an unknown fith option under the Naked Jehuty one. That's the Vic Viper. Although you can also easily get it by cheating, which I did...

I dont know if you remember, but finding good voice acting around that time and before was extremely rare

Aircraft Carrier from Gradius, lol.

farkin hate this boss

I love leo's voice~~~

only game in existance with such physics and graphics for its time, ....truly a gift, unique

There is an easter egg during this fight you have to use "distant grab" on Leo and be close to a cliff...

agreed! XD Hopefully HD collection will let us choose between the voice tracks

Leo! Leo!

Music is so awesome!

It's a modified part from the original song "Flowing Destiny" from the Zone of the Enders game.

can someone tell me what is this vic viper cause i see people love it so much in this part of the game but i never understood why it just a mech that has a transforming ability

the only weapon i mostly used is vector cannon

I remember this fight being a difficulty spike when I first fought him.

Specifically, finding imports with good voice acting was rare. Things where it was written in an english speaking country and not translated later...well, it was SLIGHTLY better but not much.

caught that too lol.

no excuse plenty of good games came out with great voice acting before then

I really hope Kojima gets better voice actors for ZOE3.

Is this on east? I’m playing on ps3 and it’s way more difficult on normal. Your attacks do way less damage

6:24 As opposed to doing your homework somewhere else?

i dont get it? Leo...VIC-VIPER.... still dont get it. im still trying to play zoe1 hd. already beat zoe2 tho

You clearly haven't listened to the voice acting of Trouble Witches Neo. I assure you, the voice acting there is a millions times worse than the voice acting here.

wats wrong with the current voices? (except for leo)

The voice acting is terrible!
