Metal Gear Rising - Bosses [Revengeance, S Rank, No Damage, +DLC]

Now I hate the fact that the PC release alone got an option to skip right to the Boss fights of a chapter... primarily because of the second phase of Armstrongs fight in the base game. Would you believe it took me about 4 hours of repeating the last level to try and S Rank that fight because of the single checkpoint if you take damage that progresses the fight?

Anyway, every fight up until the Body Doubles is my first time playing this game properly in about 4 years. That combined with a little self imposed rule I do in general which means I don't use Ripper Mode before Chapter 4 left me feeling a little rusty. After a 2 week break I finished them off like no tomorrow except for Khamsin. Between Khamsin ND S Rank and simply beating the Metal Gear RAY's on EExtreme in MGS2... he's even worse because of how few frames you have to react to. Five hours it took me to zone myself into the mind of a machine that could beat him.

FIVE!!! HOURS!!!

[coolaman]

With each boss you can tell how many tries it took to beat them without taking damage by the amount of sheer uncontrolled slashes of pure fucking anger dealt to them at the end in Blade Mode

[killerbouquet]

50:36 just imagine being a civilian living in that dilapidated hellscape only to look outside and literally see a giant mech battling a robotic dog with a chainsaw for a tail

[nebulamageplays]

I never knew how stupidly powerful parries were. You did 50% of Blade Wolf's HP.

[ThunderCustodes]

Keep in mind, Sam had little to no cybernetic enhancements besides the arm got after Armstrong crippled it, that just shows you how strong Sam is.

[ShinPepsiman]

I absolutely never knew you can walk during blade mode

[schizophrenicsnowman]

This right here. This is a video that shows of a man who suffered beyond any mortal idea.
I commend your gaul, as I'd probably drive myself insane trying to get through monsoon on revengeance no damage

[maicrasammain]

15:56 I really like this moment with the transition to walking mode because of the music

[princesscadance]

Imagine if instead of killing them, there was the option to remove their still conscious heads, put them on some device that keeps them conscious and alive, and bringing those heads back to Doktor, considering his robot hand fetish and all. Like then Raiden straps the head to his back and casually strolls back to base while the head is constantly screaming profanities at him.

Cut to a cutscene where Doktor has set Sundowner's head to constantly watching an unending stream of peacetime news coverage on TV, all while Sundowner is just going nuts.

[Boss_Big]

The way you managed to sync Excelsus' theme at the end of the fight was on point 👌

[AZE]

20:03 noice number of parts you got there

[wykaialijahkai]

Y'know, on my first playthrough of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance I genuinely got so mad at the Sundowner fight that when I respawned at his second phase, I screamed: "LET 'ER RIP!", activated ripper mode, and shredded him as fast as I could in a literal blind rage.

56:48 "a man chooses, a slave obeys" - jetstream sam

[aidanverdon]

36:15 "So you like playing hide and seek you little bitch!?"
Meanwhile Raiden Clearly standing in his field of view: *Visable confusion*

[crackheadengineer]

seeing the Sundowner Fight without the transition into Phase 2 is cursed

[prag]

You can cancel monsoon spinning run attack by using Polearm Heavy+Light+Heavy move, it makes you spin on ground and dodge or confuse monsoon

[STRIDER_]

I love Jetstream Sam's taunt at the end of Blade Wolf fight.

[kbashley]

That final Armstrong fight with Jack was so freaken clean

[captainitalia]

It's a crime to fight sundowner without his song's lyrics coming in

[Noah_the_RAHH]

Is any one gonna talk about how this dude somehow beat sundowner without breaking any part of his shield true chad indeed
