"how have I not done this countdown yet?"
On that note, I'm still baffled you've managed to refrain from making a countdown about the best clown characters in video games
Because that's no joke. Or one big one depending on your view point.
Because EVERYONE knows what would be #1
@@w_alderson21 of course it would be bozo.
@@w_alderson21 you're not a video game character, you can't be number 1
SlashFan18 Beppi the Clown?
*"Life... Hope... Dreams..."*
*"Where do they come from...and where do they go...?"*
*"Where do they come from Cotton-eye Joe?"*
I made this same joke on an old JoshScorcher video 😂
*comes back to see the opening after the 2020 awards* So....who wants to tell him?
Me.
No, ME!
Tell him what?
*sees why*
Oh no
Cloud: Sephiroth! ( One Winged Angel plays )
I always get nostalgic watching joshscorcher and autarch, I watched them since like 2010
Wow. Veteran respecc.
@@joshscorcher Remembering back to early high school and finding your stuff, now I graduated out of college, so almost 8 years ago. Time sure flys huh
Couldn’t say what year it was I first started watching them (probably close to 2010 though, come to think of it), but it warms my heart to see him still around despite the ever changing landscape of youtube.
Man I remember the old music dedicated videos I miss those, but I'm certain the copyright system chucked those ideas out the window >.
I know that feel bro,
Xehanort: *starts singing We're Number One as more Xehanorts come out of the woodwork*
Axel/Lea: WHY WON'T YOU DIE?
Xehanort: Replicas son.
@@chrisdaughen5257 *SON OF A- THAT'S IT, LINGERING WILL, I FOUND XEHONORT!* (lingering will boss fight theme starts playing first quietly, soon blaring as the ground begins to shake)
@@shadowsnake5133 *then Lingering Will slips on a banana peel and dies off-screen*
I will change this if ReMind answers what REALLY HAPPENED
@@chrisdaughen5257 It did.
0:24 Oh, how this aged like fine wine...
Sorry to be off topic but does someone know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account?
I was stupid lost the login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me
@Tate Martin instablaster :)
@Denver Alan Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now.
Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Denver Alan It worked and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thanks so much you saved my account!
@Tate Martin no problem :D
"Video games are weird."
Understatement of the century, Josh.
Senator Armstrong is Metal Gear's equivalent of Thanos, fight me
Hands down, that is the most accurate statement I've ever seen. Thank you
It's a true beauty tbh
AGREE
I use the war, to destroy the war
Someone has to say it
*NANOMACHINES, SON*
The intro skit really aged well.
I'm serious, I fell over when pirahna plant started laughing
Same, buddy.
I damn near fell over, whoever did that laugh has stamina.
Caught me so off guard I woke everyone up in my house with my laughter.
XD that laugh brightens my day
otakon17
I believe it was Dashie, a famous (infamous?) RUclipsr. And I think it's safe to say that it's Plant's job to laugh at other's misfortune and take no shit from it.
Such a joy and privilege to have been part of the opening skit in this awesome video Josh!
........ I still wanna know why they aren't in Smash yet though.
EDIT: So... There you have it. XD
Oh please do more skits! That voice work you two did was amazing!
Well one is
Hope you doing big things right now
@@jamaalsjourney Well, I'm in Meta Runner, Sunset Paradise and a fair few independent games so... I'm making my way. :) Thank you.
We finally know the winner between the endless Kefka vs Sephiroth debate
Plant :3
Bruno Linares still questioning why a plant of all things is a smash fighter
@@DMDarren Because.
@@DMDarren Because it's not just plant, it's plant with *nostalgia*
Fegel onion: You just got owned by a plant.
@SomeFilthyCasual I think Sakurai sees a bit of Waluigi in himself (being a prick); therefore, he doesn't want the purple fella in Smash.
The sephiroth thing aged perfectly. We have him playable as dlc
Thankfully (in my opinion) he I not in kh3
Now he makes a final boss list
About f🐎cking time JOSH
(I don't have a fluttershy censor, so here's a random horse)
*Sir, this is a Christian Minecraft server*
*And your censors are getting a liiittle too form-fitting for our senses. Please pardon us for saying so.* 0_0'
madmaxgaming Walker "Here's a random horse"? Oh, is it Pinkie Pie? She's about as random a horse as you can get!
Someone Caustic and Ignorant I’m gonna say heck
He's done it before though.
Sephiroth: now I am in Smash
Sora: so am I.
Sephiroth: I regret everything.
To be fair, the issue with the lack of Final Fantasy content is more on Square Enix's head than Nintendo's or Sakurai's.
Even Dragon Quest got a little screwed. Didn't even get the English actor for the Hero, just like Cloud.
Seriously, what is Square Enix's damage?
Blueblade13 copyright all over the place is why Smash only got Cloud, one stage, two tracks, and no sprits/trophy’s (Smash 4)
The Piranha Plant didn't have to rub it in, though.
Chaos89P
Hate to break it to ya, but as a certified member of the plant gang the plant did have the right to rub salt into that wound.
I guess all the FF stuff cost them half the budget.
"XEMNAS IS FINALLY NUMBER 1"
Me:"Okay I believe you "
Ah, another man of culture.
Quack.
Quaaaaack! Translation: "Super duper INGREDIENT blaster!"
ouchie ouch
DARKNESS
“Now if only he could take off the reverse plot armor and actually WIN A TOURNAMENT KETCHUM!”
..... He did... he broke the reverse plot armor in time to win the Alola League!
Listens to the transition music.
"Oh hey its... wait."
Hears him begin the final segment of the video with "it's been 12 years."
"Is this really...?"
Josh:"So please support the patreon and buy a shirt."
...
"Ok, well played, but Don't scare me like that."
That first minute and a half (0:00 - 1:33) was brilliant. Kefka being pissed off (more than usual), Sephiroth coming out of the door labeled (7) and Link passing by them as he mentioned Cloud (is that a death battle reference?), and finally both of them putting their fanboy war aside to kill a character that should have been a assist trophy. The writing is perfect and Keep it up. 😂😁👍🏼
Still his best intro ever.
Happy 12 year anniversary Josh. I’m glad to be a fan and I can’t wait to see what you have planned in the future.
Here’s to 12 more :)
You have such a 2009 profile picture
@AstrumDeus06 meh
I don’t really care
Mario Bros. Z is beautiful.
0:23 hooray, this skit is officially dated
It's not like we saw it coming XD
Everybody do a random dance!
Sorta
OH THE IRONY/PREMENTION!
6:49 OH LOOK ANOTHER IRONY/PREMENTION MOMENT!!
I like how you didn't let the rewriting done by later KH games affect your opinion of Xemnas.
EDIT: That Piranha Plant's laugh is contagious AF and I love you for that skit.
What kind of rewriting?
@@jackbordar2727 Xemnas going from a sympathetic character who just wanted a Heart at any and all costs, to "Hah lol I lied to the organization so i could hook them to kingdom hearts to make them into Xehanorts lol O H And we also can grow hearts"
@@agenttex5973 I don't think it was rewriting, because for me it makes sense because how can they have so many different emotions and personalitys if they don't have hearts. And maybe it's just me but I like the direction Xemnas went a pretty good one, I didn't sympathise with Xemnas in KH2 and the fact that he used the members of the organization for his own plans makes him just more evil. And on top of that in his last moments he did feel lonely because there isn't anyone else there with him, you have to remember that even if Xemnas is a form of the former Xehanort he is his own person with a different personality than the other Xehanorts and I believe that he unconsiusly wanted some company with him because he craving for feelings until almost the bitter end but what a use do they have for him when he is alone.
I might be all alone with this but hey it's my interpretation of it and it doesn't need to fit too anyone else other than me.
@@jackbordar2727 While I did like what they did with his death in KH3, My issue is it felt like it came out of no where, and yes I DO consider Xemnas, *and Ansem sod as well* as there own seperate characters with there own wants and possible different motives
@@agenttex5973 But if you rewatch carefully from the start of KH2, you'll notice that something was planned. The nobodies having no heart was clearly false, just by looking at Roxas, Axel and Xion. And that also explained why Xemnas wouldn't send all the organization to kill Sora when he wasn't needed anymore. He was testing who was better suited to be a vessel.
I came here after the reveal of Sephiroth for Smash. The Mama's Boy is in LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Why doesn't Celestia want any daughters?
She's only good at raising suns.
That was a horrible pun get out
@@anarchomando7707 No.
Do you have any sort of survival instinct or self-preservation interest?
@@bru9383 Yes.
Damn. Lol
Some of my favorites :
Darth Malak (Star Wars : Knights of the Old Republic)
Nyx (Persona 3)
Van Grant (Tales of the Abyss)
Archdemon (Dragon Age : Origins)
Keiji Shibusawa (Yakuza 0)
Liquid Ocelot (Metal Gear 4 Sons of the Patriots)
Baldur (God of War)
9S/A2 (Nier Automata)
Tobi (Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 3)
Virgil (Devil May Cry 3)
U Got Nyx, Vandeztelca & Tobi On There... #Respect
Never leave out Sephiroth
I guess I can see how Demise's curse could be interpreted that way. Thing is, none of characters in the affected games are consciously *aware* of the curse. They still have their own motivations, it's the situations they find themselves in that are influenced. And the fact that Link and Zelda keep getting reincarnated to *be in* those situations. Seems like an effective curse to me.
Yep. Man, these guys can't catch a break.
@@TheTriforceDragon Which fits very well with Buddhist philosophy. For them, reincarnation by itself is akin to a curse, having to go through life over and over until you achieve enlightenment. The thought of being trapped in that cycle regardless must be horrifying.
@@brigidtheirish And hell, part of that works with the timeline. WW's Ganondorf freed himself from the curse by not letting it control him and hasn't reincarnated in that section of the timeline.
@@letsplaytodayusa Exactly! These characters still have free will, their circumstances are simply influenced by a dying curse, which are always the worst kind.
Unfortunately, I don't think Link or Zelda are going to free themselves like that. They're the sort of people to keep helping others regardless of the cost to themselves.
I think it would be interesting if in Breath of the Wild 2, Ganon somehow became aware of Demise's Curse during his 10,000 year imprisonment.
The opening skit sure aged well, huh?
Hoping MGS4 gets a mention because yeah that final boss...whew.
Edit: OK fair enough, Armstrong is a whole new level.
Liquid Ocelot was more of a build-up throughout the series, a final, melancholic battle between two eternal rivals, forced by destiny to settle their score once and for all.
Armstrong was a charismatic anti-hero, not a villain, a person that wanted to do the right thing, but didn't want to be stopped by morales and ethics, while also not considering that its New America would never last long enough.
As Snake, you begin by feeling anger, adrenaline, you want to punch that guy to death! Then you want to slow down, think rationally and take him down in a cold, serious fight. Next thing you feel is... Love? Guiltiness? Pitiness? You don't really know, but you get that something is wrong, that you really don't want him to die, but still... It must end. Someway. Finally, you feel sad. The journey is close to the end. Your rival and yourself barely stand up on your feet, hatred that still has fuel to keep you on beating the sh*t out of each other. And then, it's over. Nothing. Beside the acknowledgement that "you're pretty good!", you just killed your brother and the greatest supporter of your father. And you know you'll soon be dead as well.
As Raiden, you hate Armstrong for what he represents, even after the awakening of The Ripper, the one you truly believe, what you really are. Corrupted, warmonger and slaver... You hate him with every nanomachine in your body!!!
Then... The truth emerges. He wants to do good by using bad activities. But at what cost?
Civilian casualties and war crimes are one really bad thing, but putting an entire nation in a state where the weak gets purged and the strongest thrives, expecially in the time with the biggest gap between poor and rich? Anarchy, oligarchy or whatever, you know it's batsh*t insane!!!
The final fight begins, you take a beating and you're almost dead. What you've done 'till now has been useless. Then... Bladewolf appears. It yields the Murasama and you understand that your biggest rival actually rooted for you the whole time. You know what to do, he must be stopped!
You understand you are not the good guy, nor is him the villain. You two just happen to not share the same ways of reaching your goals, you realize he is just like you. Different paths, same crossroad, but only one will continue his journey. Yes, to achieve good deeds you sometimes need to be bad, but in the end... It has to be this way!
As the fight ends, you get reprimanded you didn't change the status quo. But... Now he has a worthy successor, one that believes in his ideals. One that doesn't get stopped by laws and ethics, one that will refine the way to reach the ultimate goal for true freedom of all US Citizens.
TL;DR: FucKonami, stop milking Solid and start milking Rising!!!
I want me some Platinum and Metal Gear action together! Solid is over, let it rest.
Solidus Snake and The Boss too. Those were amazing bosses
0:30 Boy did this not age well considering Sephiroth got into Smash, while Kefka is left still in the dust.
I'll be honest, I LOVED the final boss in Skyward Sword.
The colors, the lighting, the bosse's design and intelligenc and determination classhing with his curiousity and cockiness.
His moves of raising his sword of lightning, for you to learn you can do the same!
It's SOO COOL!
I feel like the first half was kind of... boring, but the second half more than makes up for it.
thank you! demise is such a good character! put people look past any of the good stuff about the game and only look at the bad
I love the fight due to how it handled a 1v1 with no strings attached. It's actually my favorite Zelda final boss due to how well it handled the themes & pure swordplay.

My girlfriend made the title card.
I'm so proud of her!! X3
Where's my boi, Vergil?
Jokes aside, I love this video. Great job
The final battle with Vergil in DMC 3 is my favorite boss fight in videogame history ^^
@@JayfroC I've been streaming the game. I only just got past Vergil's second fight so hopefully, I'll enjoy it as much as you seem to.
@@bluespartangaming1514 Nice ^^ Hopefully I haven't raised your expectations too much, though. The reason why I love that fight is very much subjective, and it's completely possible you don't derive the same enjoyment from it.
I still need to finish DMC3, I recently finished 4 and replaying it with Vergil now (best. character. to play as.) XD Now I'm pumped to finish 3 XD
@@bluespartangaming1514 Be sure to play the higher difficulties, Vergil doesn't use his full moveset until I believe SoS or the Very Hard difficulty. You do get a similar experience going through Easy and Normal by him using different weapons and gaining DT but he has a lot more than that. Also when you do get to him pay attention to his moveset.
You are the longest running RUclips channel I've consistently watched. Been subbed since 2009~10, from music countdowns to Autarch Crossovers to bootcamp and MLP to today, you're one of my favorite content creators on the internet. I've grown up watching you, ever since I was 13. Nearly a decade later and you're still here, as entertaining as ever. Never change Josh, never change.
Sephiroth is now in Smash Ultimate.
0:21
Oh the Irony of this Scene.
Hmm... I think this is how it went down.
Sakurai: Well Sephiroth, I have some Good News and some Bad News.
Sephiroth: And what would that be?
Sakurai: Well, you're finally in Smash.
Sephiroth: Wha- Really? That's amazing! Wait, there isn't a catch, is there?
Sakurai: Well, that's the Bad News. You need to go with Sora.
Sephiroth: Oh come on! Not that twerp!
"A load of other cyborg enemies"
*shows jetstream sam who isn't even really a cyborg*
He is a cyborg, he's just not enhanced like Raiden is
0:23 This aged beautifully
That bit at the intro reminds me why I subbed to this channel over ten years ago now. It's really a shame YT has such a huge bias against gaming related channels. Imagine how big this guy would be if the playing field was actually even?
Yknow what... I was expecting with all the hack and slash games, at least 1 DMC final boss.
Especially DMC 5’s final boss.
Motivation lost.
Well, I mean, the dmc1 final boss sucked, dmc2 final boss was interesting but still sucked, I kinda did expect Vergil (3 or 5) to be on this list though
@@lunareclipsed5071 Yessssssssss!!!!!!😝😝😝
Well this was bound to get done sooner or later. Rabbidluigi did one. Quarter Guy did one. The Autarch did one. Now it's josh's turn.
Let's hope F.M. does it next.
@Cosmic Marx
Logan did do a normal boss battle one, just not a final boss one.
He might do that
This has to best your best one yet, the introduction animation was hilarious in every way, your list was great in your ideal of what makes a great boss battle, and the pacing was worth the whole episode. Congrats on making your channel this far for your 12 years on YT. I only subscribed to your channel for only a month and I already love your series. Stay awesome, and keep it up.
*sees Piranha Plant* He gonna laugh...
0:54 called it
Every single final boss list I’ve seen has had Armstrong in it. This man truly speaks to us all.
Terra-Xehanort (Final Episode) for his sheer brutality and the overwhelmingly dark atmosphere of the fight.
*during the filming of the challenger pack 8*
*Sephiroth walks by Kefka with his Smash invitation*
Kefka: OH COME ON
XD
Senator Armstrong. Need I say more?
Of course!
You must say: *NANOMACHINES, SON!*
Fletcher Reed No, no go ahead my good sir
Litterally any metal gear rising boss
I've watched you and Alex since either early high-school or late middle-school, and your videos are some of my absolute favorite on youtube to this day. Here's to another great 12 years Josh.
Should we be worried that ‘The Final Countdown’ was used?
I am o.o
I am.
No, do not be worried. It ain’t the final one, promise. And the end won’t come for a long time if I have anything to say about it.
@@AramautheFierySecretary Oh, I thought the joke was that you used the song full stop... Because it's apparently got a bad reputation.
You're awesome Ari^^
I get a nostalgic feeling watching the beginning animation of this video especially with Sephiroth getting in Smash Bros.
Um......, no Sonic final bosses? Quoting Scott from Total Drama All-Stars: "ARE. YOU. KIDDING ME???"
Yeah, Dark Gaia is a classic 3D Boss Fight!
Finding another TD fan makes me happy.
Supheroth: “ hey Kefka, you remember that time we diced and roasted that plant during the smash ultimate auditions? Yeah....funny story.”
Kefka:
DAMN YOU SAKURAAAAAAAIIII!!!....
*hand reaches out to his shoulder*
Waluigi: I can relate bro.. WAAAAAHHHH!!!
@@dericanightingale Kefka: “Oh please 🙄 your a slap dashed put together Wa(evil) clone of the surprisingly more interesting sibling, just so Wario can have somebody to feel superior to.
We are not even in the same League, because at least somehow beyond the realms of sanity and insanity you at the very minimum are an assist trophy. I don’t even get that luxury. Puh.......and people say I’m crazy..........I mean they’re right but still.”
and then i now hope KH 4 has Sora teaming up with Square Enix characters, c'mon, Sora vs. Kefka, you know you want to see that.
TheSpawnfan meh not really. Kefka while as a character is great as a villain, I personally find him really annoying, and fighting him in dissidia doesn't help either.
@@judeskater93 Sora vs Izunia then? A tragic character who died being seen as a commoner by his peers and is on the reaper's game while almost all the others got happy endings vs. A tragic character who tried and failed to defy his fate and free humanity from the gods.
TheSpawnfan oh that sounds freaking sick!!!
revolverswitch lack of popularity perhaps or probably cause as most seem to say about 9 it's got some problems that bring it down rather hard, a big one being the final battle.
@@judeskater93 i mean, Spra saved everyone twice and they still didn't get the rank of master and in 3 he died and went to Shibuya from The World Ends With You, wich means he has to play the reaper's game to come back to life, Ardyn Izunia from FFXV is as much of a guy who is trying to destroy the gods as he is a victim of their schemes, he is more interesting than the entire main group to boot, and since we had lots of Disney characters, why not Square Enix ones this time around?
No Vergil? He is your rival in the third devil may cry, and though you actually do fight him two other times before the final battle
Hard to believe I've been watching your Countdown Lists for years now.
It really feels both fresh and nostalgic every time I listen to each and every one.
So..umm....any chance of an sequel of that intro animation after what happen today?
They did. You might've already seen it, though. XD
I bet Kefka was FUMING when he found out Sephiroth got in and he didn’t.
All that buildup...
THEN BAM!
GIANT PIG WITH TWO SWORDS!(He is actually low key scary as hell.)
Josh: "Goat Mom, can I have a tissue?"
Me: Jesus Josh, You need a freaking box of them, the fight with Asriel caused me to sob my hear out like no tomorrow, and I get emotional easily when it comes to fully letting go. Take a box of tissues from the personal Emotion closet I have them in. God knows everyone who can understand the fight needs at least a box of them.
Really? I didn't see the emotion in it. Asriel just felt shoved into the story at the last minute so I couldn't feel much for him as a character at all.
"Now if you could just take off the reverse plot armor and actually win a tournament for once, Ketchum!"
Who came to watch this video when Ash won the Alola League?
This feels very ironic now.
Yeah, that into isn’t now true
Piranha Plant’s laughing made me damn near piss myself laughing 😂
Had to come back here after the announcement. That was a surprise for me.
While I haven't been around since your channel's very beginning, Fawful's MInion was how I first discovered the countdown community & collab spiral happened, the fact that my biggest inspiration when it comes to countdowns has been going for 12 years is pretty awesome. Hell, your reviews were what made me finally watch what quickly became one of my favorite tv shows with MLP.
Love how you're portrayal of Kefka josh.
Baby Bowser from Yoshi's Island is still the best final boss fight in Mario games, and I will die on this hill, Josh
Well will waluigi be #1
Hes never gonna win
BUT WALUIGI WILL ALWAYS BE #1
WAH
The closest he's been to the final boss was the original plans for DDR Mario mix, but it was changed so it would be Bowser instead.
“Now if only he could take off the reverse plot armor and actually win a TOURNAMENT, *KETCHUM!*”
You might wanna take a trip to Alola, Joshy-boy. You might like what you see there... ;)
Years later
*sephiroth dlc for smash*
Sephiroth: cry harder clown boy
Jubileus: I have the best final Boss fight in the solar System!
Sephiroth: That's cute and you don't have a choir intimidating as Mine
Jubileus: awww
Loved the intro. Sad to not see any shin megai tensei stuff on the list but hey like you said there's so many to choose from. Twelve years I've been watching you now and holy crap it's been fun.
10:52: The moment he said "oh no" made me realize what the entry was because it was obvious, and the inclusion of a *"RULES OF NATURE"* moment solidified that.
Europe’s “The Final Countdown” is the perfect choice of music!
0:25
This aged well
0:00
Quick question, what’s that character that Josh voices?
3:09
10: Bowser (Super Mario 3D Land)
Me: I remember playing Mario on the N64 and really enjoying playing it as it was a unique world for me, and playing against Bowser was awesome. But, you had a limited playing field and you had to doge his attacks. I also remember that you had to use Bowser’s size against him which is ironic given how small the playing field. I also remember exploring the land. The visuals looked dated compared to the newer Mario games as the character clips through objects and shit, but I loved playing it I may get an N64 sometime and get Mario N64 and play it to relive the nostalgia of my younger years.
5:07
09: Rival (Pokémon Red/Blue)
Me: Wow, mentioning Pokémon brings up so many memories as I was a fan of the show when I was just a kid. I love the original duo of Pikachu and Ash.
6:58
08: Jubileus (Bayonetta)
Me: This game looks interesting, I might play it or watch play throughs
8:46
07: Ridley (Metroid; Samus Returns)
Me: Never underestimate the power of a mother’s love for a child.
10:50
06: Senator Armstrong (Metal Gear; Rising)
Me: I would totally vote for him, he’s that guy who thinks that War is wrong and it does nothing but kill innocent people.
14:10
05: Giygus (EarthBound)
Me: I agree that this thing looks off
16:44
04: Asriel (UnderTale)
Me: This boss is when you do a true pacifist run though the game, not only do you have to dodge his attacks, but he can’t be harmed which makes it even more hard to beat him, only if you spare him and he runs out of energy, do you get to talk to him and comfort him. Also it is sad that he’s no longer with us, but fans keep him and his siblings alive through their love and affection for him. He may be dead in the game, but he’s alive through the fandom.
20:03
03: Ganon (Ocarina Of Time)
Me: Yeah, it’s epic
21:59
02: Kefka (Final Fantasy XIV)
Me: Wait, isn’t he that guy in the beginning of the video?
24:37
01: Xemnas (Kingdom Hearts II)
Me: Now that’s character development
27:40
The clown is Kefka, main antagonist of Final Fantasy VI (and his favorite FF villain in general).
6:49 a few years later and Ash is now the #1 trainer in the anime
*Watches video*
Number 1
Me: Gherman the First Hunter and Slave Knight Gae-
*My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined*
Don't forget about Isshin the Sword Saint
Yeah, he mentioned the Soul of Cinder as DS 3s final boss which is technically true I guess but Slave Knight gael is the true ending and also narratively more impactful.
Gehrman :(
Love both of those fights
After Sephiroth was introduced into smash:
Kefka: ... you son of a submarine
I am a simple man. I see Armstrong, I give a like.
Edit: I actually think Xemnas being brought back was completely justified just to bring his ending in KH3 (one of the only good ones), 'cause gosh dang, that one really hit me.
NANOMACHINES, SON.
THEY HARDEN IN RESPONSE TO PHYSICAL TRAUMA.
YOU CAN’T HURT ME, JACK.
0:29 [SPOILERS]
Yeah, about that....
10: Super Mario 3D Land (Bowser)
9: Pokemon Red/Blue/Green/Yellow (Blue/Gary)
8: Bayonetta (Jubileus)
7: Metroid: Samus Returns (Ridley)
6: Metal Gear Rising (Senator Armstrong)
5: Earthbound (Giygas)
4: Undertale (Asriel Dreemurr)
3: Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Ganon)
2: Final Fantasy VI (Kefka)
1: Kingdom Hearts II (Xemnas)
Honestly, Yami from Okami is one of my favorite bosses in gaming. It's a multi stage battle that starts with you having to gradually fight through the stages, regaining your Celestial Brush abilities that he took at the start of the fight and using them against him. And then *the final phase.* After the praise of the people has brought Amaterasu back to her prime, she faces off against Yami's last phase, using her own ability, Sunrise, to push back Yami's darkness and gradually wear him down, and it's really fun. With Rising Sun playing in the background as you lay into Yami, this phase is easily my favorite of all of them, just because it feels so amazing.
6:48 And he did.
Twice!
IN A ROW!
The beginning really aged well
I'd be lying if I said the first thing that came to mind when looking at the title was Dr. Zomboss from Plants VS Zombies
Later...
Sephiroth: “Hey Kefka, You chill with me starting on that walking flytrap while I wait for you to arrive? I'll save some teeth for you.”
Kefka: “Yeeessssssss!”
That Pirahna Plant is the sole reason Sephiroth spared Mario, just to spite the plant
Picked this up after the game awards smash trailer of December 2020, shit like that is why kefka’s a raging nihilist
Opening skit: Literally everyone after that reveal trailer.
Well this video needs an update, Sephiroth !!!!
Watched you and The Autarch so long ago, back when I only had 1gb of data allowance per month and all videos were in 360p.
Totally worth. Loved your countdowns as a kid. Happy to see you still going.
You do know that kojima had nothing to do with metal gear revengeance so he can't have had anything to do with senator armstrong.
wow, I've been a fan for ten years.... thanks for all the content, Burner. and the laughs.
0:24 I can't *WAIT* to see Josh's reaction, if he releases one!
0:58 Plant, you are going to regret doing that.
You probably shouldn't have done that plant. (One Winged Angel Re-Birth plays in background.
He is going to go ballistic.
That gag at the beginning! XD
But holy heck this list was AMAZING!
Sephiroth still my favourite, I haunts me everytime I hear the One Winged Angel. Kefka was a nightmare too...
That intro: Funny and PERFECT!
This countdown: AWSM!!!
Honestly surprised that hades from kid Icarus uprising was just an honorable mention.
6:49 Alright, I may be a day late but.... *HEY LOOK, A JOKE THAT'S BADLY AGED!*
