To request boss help...

DJ Incompetent · Post by **DJ Incompetent** » Wed Jul 05, 2006 6:13 pm

Gamespot (US) is doing this lame mystery thriller skit how-to on boss fights video thing called Matt Rorie, Boss of Bosses.
http://www.gamespot.com/features/6152993/index.html

They're taking requests.

Someone should use it to get some shmup love or see if Gamespot can actually 1-Life bosses we may legitimately have problems with when needing a 1CC or 1LC. Score yourself some strategy-on-video by accident, ya know?

..or just laugh at boss fights the 14-year-olds are having problems with.

They'll probably keep it current gen US releases only...so that's...all of 6 games we can request...right?

DDP:DOJ hibachi is an obvious one.

Too easy to credit feed.

Need to use DOJ Death label hibachi so there's no possibility of continuing.

But isn't the point to not credit feed/continue? Otherwise you wouldn't be asking for help?

I'm just waiting for one of their boss strategies to come back as
"Well, just credit feed until the boss dies."

And then I will laugh...a lot...knowing all and well that gaming skill has truly died.

Shouldn't it be from a game available in the US and while I would love to see him try to tackle any of the 1-3 bosses on Gunbird 2 I'm guessing it has to be from a current gen system or a well known older system. So I guess something like Ikaruga or Shikigami no Shiro II.

Yeah, if _I_ can beat the level 2 boss, anyone can. But I have NEVER beaten the level 3 boss. I really suck at that game.

But what other evil candidates do we have? We ought to give this guy a VG ass whooping of a lifetime.

how bout ibara, they would pick up everything and skyrocket the ranks

^ fuck a rank i pick up everything anyway

and die very quickly

Request something from Gradius V or R-Type Final. They probably don't know enough about Japan only shmups to even give advice on them period.

Alright, we get Middlemoor to request R-Type final, stage 4, that second part of the doppleganger boss blob thing* on R-Typer. That's the only boss I can think of that's a real pain in the balls that you need to have some sort of plan to drop kick.

*sorry if there's pop-up

Then we start a pot here to see if they say "Well, start the fight using Ragnarock 2"

Black Heart2, DOOM and Hibachi. Should make for interesting viewing.

But if they're going for solely Western released shmups, then Beacon (Gradius V, stage 7, first boss with the bouncy lasers), The End of the World (Shikigami 2, all forms of the final core-shaped boss), and one of the later bosses from Raiden 3. And perhaps Gluon from Psyvariar. (Gluon's bulletspam alone is enough to scare most newbies.)

I thought the guy before the end of the world thingy was actually harder.

I'd love to see a superplay of the game on it's jacked up difficulty setting. Especially with someone other than niigi.
