The designs for Desperate Struggles bosses are really good! But Travis never wastes time chatting with them anymore so we don't find out enough about what kind of person they are anymore
I like to think its thematic. Travis grew a greater appreciation for the darkness of killing in the first game, it was achieved by actually talking to the bosses and finding out how vapid he seemed in comparison. (Holly and Jeans cutscenes are my favorite example). But he regresses a bit in 2 when his judgment is clouded by a want to avenge bishop. The message of desperate struggle was about how vengeance is never satisfying and more murder solves nothing. In the engame Travis is snapped out of his rampage by Alices reality check but for that to have worked the game needed to build it up. Hence him barely talking to the first few, cause he only sees them as themed obstacles. Vapid one note lovers of violence, like how most of the best bosses view him. So why would he bother knowing them? To him they may as well all be Destroyman and im sure he was sick to death of that guy by the end of the pre fight cutscene. As you go deeper into the game you start meeting characters like Margaret who has the least dialogue of any boss so far as she breaks through to travis in her song (actually mirroring copeland as his songs in Japanese, even if it was profound, travis doesn't hear it at this part of the story), Ryuji who made him look hypocritical when after hundreds of murders Travis is suddenly not ok with this one guy, vladamir letting travis use empathy and culminating in Alices aforementioned reality check (and then jasper is just a glorified loose end before travis can go hang out in his trailer). Basically the first half of the bosses in nmh2 are foils for Travis while he risks falling back into his old views by being just as cartoonishly psychotic as he was and though he regressed, he can still see that they are. Tldr: yeah seeing more of them would have been fun, but we already know exactly what they're like just by looking at them. (All of this is conjecture of course. It may just be the fact suda didn't direct this one and no one gave a shit, but im not that pessimistic.)
@@rgmusic4769 yeah I know. She did that in 1 too. I meant by comparison they have far shorter cut scenes with less interaction with mah boy Travis *shrug*
Yes. For me it made the fight better just because of how much stuff is either exploding or being thrown around. Along with this playing in the background its a chaotic blast
It makes sense in lore, as he only wanted to fight Travis he had no reason to go any higher, as Travis would have to fight quickly in order to progress, so it was the perfect spot in the rankings for him.
Nathan was a really kickass boss, but was a little hard to dodge in any range with all the stuff going on in the room. Still loved the character and fight to death though. ^_^
Actually this and philistine aren’t the only two vocal songs, Skelter Helters Japanese has vocals, but they’re not that good, and No More Riot also has volacs which is a just as badass song
I really like Skelter's vocal theme, yeah it focuses more on the vocals than the actual song but it feels perfect for Skelter since the boss focuses more on being an annoying tutorial constantly interrupting you in the middle of the fight like the vocals are more constantly emphasized more than the actual instrumental. I like both versions but I definitely think the former fits better. Feel free to disagree though, it is a jarring song.
If anyone is a fan of both no more heroes and the anime zombieland saga. this reminds of those 3 boys rapping in the back alley before the cop found them.😁😀
Someone please remix this with junk garage from the world ends with you . and what I mean by someone I am in silver gunner someone pass this message to silver gunner if anyone can please do
It's a game made in Japanese and then dubbed in English afterwards. Redoing a song in a new language is a lot harder than dialogue is. Plus Philistine is in English, so maybe they wanted both an English and a Japanese boss theme in the game to keep it even.
Now look, for me rap only on English but there are few exceptions like this, rap on Japanese (for me at least) just doesn't work 95% of the time, but when it does work we get shit like this:

Hes doing the sonic adventure pose!
oh damn he is!
goddammit
Also he looks like a jet set radio character as well
All I can think about is Nathan saying this is happening in his Irish accent
He's too good for Sonic Adventure.
Fun fact: The English voice actor for Nathan also voiced Cyborg from Teen Titans
Ayee33
You mean Aqua Lad from Young Justice
And Travis having the same voice actor as Medic from TF2
Medic vs Cyborg
BOOYAH!!!!!!
No shit? That's great.

Late as hell but lmao true dat
Goated song
Am i the only one that though this fight started to become a clusterfuck near the end of it? still really good music and really good boss.
Yes. For me it made the fight better just because of how much stuff is either exploding or being thrown around. Along with this playing in the background its a chaotic blast
He deserved to be MILES higher, like Rank 5 or something.
it's in character for grasshopper to put ONE OF THE BEST BOSSES right off the cut in terms of character and actual wild shit going on
FUCK THEM LASERS
DeltaKnight he didn’t care about ranks, anyways in nmh2 rank has nothing to do with how strong they are
It makes sense in lore, as he only wanted to fight Travis he had no reason to go any higher, as Travis would have to fight quickly in order to progress, so it was the perfect spot in the rankings for him.
he doesn't seem to fit the same vibe as the actual top 5 either
He does, but he held 50 for a reason, he wanted to be the first to fight Travis if he ever came back, and while he wasn't first, second aint bad
this proves that Nathan is a sonic fan
How?
@@thesupershinymegagengar2034 pose
His design and his theme reminds me of Combo from Jet Set Radio
To this day, I don’t understand how he was only rank 51; he was harder then a number of the bosses that come after him by leagues!
Because he want to fight travis, not be a ranked assassin. He gets to fight travis way earlier on if hes a rank 50. The Equivalent of a UAA smurf
He was hard because of bad game design lmao, not because it was made to be difficult
@@ZoronTheBoi Even then I feel like he should of at least been above Cloe Walsh or something

My new favorite Bleach intro theme
Oh god, it does kinda sound like it would belong in Bleach.
Now I can't unhear it... Not that I'm complaining.
Very cool how the beat for this theme was used for the Travis and kimmy rap battle in 3
Still can’t believe there is no lyrics no matter where I search
There was a guy who translated the song "Welcome to Hell" from Travis Strikes Again, but nobody tried to translate this one

sounds weird without the constant "BLESS YOU!"

Actually this and philistine aren’t the only two vocal songs, Skelter Helters Japanese has vocals, but they’re not that good, and No More Riot also has volacs which is a just as badass song

...why's it in Japanese though? this always confused me

They experimented with western rap being sang by japanese while with philistine its Japanese rap sang with western.
