Most villains: you can have one hit
Chad Armstrong: first 200 punches are yours boy

Plot twist: The health bar is just his shirt's durability

[FazeThruWallz]

You know the battle will be hard when the boss casually lets you have 10% of his health and acts like nothing happened.

Raiden is wondering why he won't die

I'm here wondering what his shirt is made of

[anintruder]

Honestly, him losing 9.6% of his health without flinching is even more terrifying than if he were to just take no damage.
Classic videogame instincts tell you that if he takes no damage, there'll be some gimmick later where he'll become easy to beat.
With this one, he is losing a not-insignificant amount of health and just tanks it.
He's just that tough.

"You are just like me"
Armstrong: *just standing there taking his punches like an adult takes a child's*
This scene is so comical but that's what makes it iconic lol.

[pumpkerspook]

for those who didnt play the game it doesnt actually play the music when raiden starts punching armstrong, only in the final form

[matthewsawczyn]

He’s like the new Batman, but with punches instead of bullets

[BlinchixOfRivia]

Standing here I realize that this actually does not play during this scene, and you can even hear the old one

Armstrong Shirt: 🗿
Hulk Pants: finally a worthy opponent, our battle will be legendary .

[atigerclaw]

Nanoweave fiber shirt and tie. Nanocarbon glassess frames. Nanomachine infused blood.

Armstrong knows what industries to support, and they support him.

*_NANOMACHINES, SON!_*

[SPEEDCORE]

People will be pissed when they collectively find out "It Has To Be This Way" doesnt actually play during this scene

[SKYNCVLT]

I’ve never played this game only seen memes, but I can imagine that this is why controller drift exists

[itsofox]

I like how every player that that played this game all knowed that we did a barrage with our controller

[grimmthrashr]

Saxton hale: so, hows yer front massage goin mate?
Armstrong: ahh its the best, raiden really helps out gettin out the knots.
Raiden: *WHY WONT YOU DIE!?*
all of red team: *shootin at hale with all the guns they have*

[manuvashist]

Pro tip: don't waste resources healing during this part of the fight

[kamonotsent]

Average villain: gets hit once at the end and basically crumbles away for no reason
Chad Armstrong: adjusts his glasses like nothing happened
