Shin Megami Tensei 4 Boss Masakado [MASTER]
First time playing through SMT4 series.
This game has been recommended to me multiple times.
I've decided to exclude the additional choices from the main story and just keep it full top screen (Beside in Boss fights). Every option I choose are CHAOS answers.
Pre-ordered a 3ds built in capture card a while ago 2016 (February) from Keity, but it takes around 5 months for them to make/ship it (I received it July 8th). Originally I had a 3ds XL just for this game, but the screen on a handheld device was just way too annoying to play on, and I'm not a fan of that but now I can play 3ds games on a monitor/tv with a lot bigger screen and it's a lot better now.

Imagine masakado only doing
Move slowly
Aim carefully
Clench fist
Guardian eye
Then repeats everything all over again then for just one riot gun after those wasting time.

Did you just define the fights with Shesha in SMT4 Apocalypse XDD

[@timmyreobed5043]

This is one of the coolest ways I've ever seen a boss with a massive scale be represented by turn based gameplay. Takes a long time to actually attack, but hurts like hell when it does.

This design is fucking sick. I love it, along the music and that picture they made of his when Stephen showed him.

It's a shame you don't get that sense of scale in the actual fight. The art made it look like a Shadow of the Colossus Lovecraftian horror, in battle he looks like he's only 3 times flynss size lol

[@yb576]

He is aligned to Chaos despite representing the Neutral route lol

[@Kaisogen]

This is because he is technically not himself during this sequence. You're essentially snapping him back into himself during this battle, before the nuke hits.

[@ryco9669]

@@Kaisogen Regular Masakado is also chaotic

[@ils4844]

@@ryco9669 It's because of the way alignment is tied to demon races. Masakado is of the Fury race and the Fury race is composed of all chaos demons.

[@saadmirza4221]

I love masakado animation here. Especially with his eyes getting brighter and then darker.

[@burnemail2467]

Meanwhile the real Masakado was just some dude who tried to lead a rebellion and got his ass handed to him lmao

[@jellyface401]

Wow, that's what i wanted when i fused a momonofu with a terris.

[@JanusHoW]

Something interesting to note - your real enemy is not Masakado...it's the freaking NUKE that's headed your way and will impact in 10 turns. You're basically trying to slap the crazy out of him so he can protect the city.
Also, why are you using Mara as a magic user? He's a physical type, so you'd be better off with Phys Pierce, Charge and some big physical move - unless using Wind/Force attacks is the only way to keep Masakado from going into some sort of pissy boss mode.

[@zaqareemalcolm]

Alot of time phys-type demons tend to have high HP which increases their survivability.
With end game demons its okay-ish to make them mages through fusion, their magic stat isn't _that_ low (like Mara starts with 86 Mag)

With fusion in games beyond nocturne you can literally tailor make demons how you want with incenses/manual skill inheritance.

[@Bravale]

Makes me wonder who were the humans who repopulated onto the Eastern Kingdom of Mikado? Since the whole world was under missile fire

[@cheesepuffsthings]

They were the children abducted by the angels and placed in "cocoons" that ascended into the sky.

[@basedturu2320]

It's explained in smt Iv apocalypsr

[@zendhan2517]

it was also explained in smt iv. When you talk to the NPC near the entrance of the park where you fight asmodeous he will tell you what happened. And the people of Mikado were sent to Mikado after masakados became the cieling

[@christopherhu7189]

Uriel breaks this game, fuse uriel and every boss is a one shot.

[@itisventus]

Using the demon fusion lite, you can pass Kannuki Throw onto other demons, essentially being able to mix KT with Phys Pierce

[@itisventus]

Also, with that method, you can create canonical Mot using Masakado.S

Lol, if you're referring to his Concentrate/Mazandyne spam that kills you in 1 turn (that got me a lot of times), he doesn't use it if you have someone that repels wind it seems, same with his Heaven's Bow.

Didn't Apocalypse confirm that the USA got nuked like, a few moments right before Japan?

[@theonewhowrotethis5681]

@@madamaklee Could've been a Terminator 3 scenario where there were nukes a plenty and someone triggered them to fire at each other. Megami Tensei II had the whole world nuked in its intro, so it could be another scenario similar to that (only with Masakado protecting Japan right at the nick of time).

@@burgerking-eg7xc Yeah, in SMT1, Ambassador Thorman, who was Thor in disguise, was the Ambassador of the USA and one of YHVH's lackeys. So it's probably both the USA and YHVH if we're going by SMT1 logic.
