and thats what makes v win even more impressive. he didnt have alot of mods. or if going off base v almost none and no combative ones at that. thats withought mentioning the fact that he was dying, and probably been in a none stop battle for a few hours at that point espeshaly if it was the fear the reaper run. v probably walked out of that elivator covered in blood. plus canon v was like david, a street kid who got into the life to survive
That's what i wonder about I know David wasn't one of a kind since that was the point of the story. But was Adam smasher not as good as David since he ran out of serum? Since the gear David had was top of the line I think he might of won given the circumstances.
When they continue the franchise, id like to know peoples reaction to V. The man who beat Smasher and is probably one of the best mercs in night city, with crystal palace taken into account as well. THE Night City Legend.
@@Werkvuur have to disagree, johnny's skills are definitely a portion of it, but V is a monster all their own.

Keeping the rest of the comment because i'm high and it took way too long to write and think out to let it go to waste, but I took a second look and you said "in part" My appologies 🐢
I saw somewhere that when V and Jackie are hiding, Adam Smasher is using an ability to detect threats behind walls, so he can clearly see you but chooses not to act.
The thing I like about Adam is that he swears a lot but does not really hate the people he kills and even shows some sort of respect for those that fight him to the death "She knew the risks" "He knew he was all-in"
That’s true I also feel that way. I respect how he doesn’t shit talk Saul and to a lesser extent, Rogue. He responded elegantly and respectfully. This shows Adam might have some honour. Considering how long he was working for a Japanese corporation, it’s possible he has learned honour, bushido.
@@justsomeguy747 Bushido, being the epitome of modern honor is incorrect sadly. As it would be for all the ancient warrior codes we kind of reinvented them for modern storytelling. But I do think you're more right than you realised. Smasher probably had his twisted sense of honour from before he got himself blown up and interned in a robot body. He appreciates when someone who's supposed to be a legend has the balls to just square up with him. Especially by 2077, that must be a rare experience for him.
@@kieranadamson3224 i think Ninjas from the modern age believe in Bushido. Take Leonardo from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as an example of a modern day ninja who believes in that. But, yes, I agree, Smasher must only respect those who do not whine when they fight and do not show weakness.
@@justsomeguy747 Bushido itself is, like chivalry, based on loyalty. That's what honor was for these ideologies. It was a system that essentially boiled down to "do a good job and don't embarrass me". But yeah, Smasher is something special. Largely that's what makes him so entertaining is that he's a focused sadist. Instead of just being characterized as an edgelord loose cannon. He's methodical, precise, professional and undeniably very fucked in the head.
Adam Smasher is a pretty dope villain. He killed Johnny Silverhand, David Martinez, Rebecca, Saul/Rogue (dependent) and it finally ends with V besting him in a battle

@@I-C-N-H Yeah, I was thinking I did have whatever chip or upgrade you need that even the spanish gets translated for me -- unless it was a menu option lol.

everyone was fine with smasher before, but now that he crushed best girl and killed david, everyone fucking hates him and it is COMPLETELY UNDERSTANDABLE.
I love the fact that David isn't that protagonist who looks at the villain and says "I'm going to defeat you" or gets scared and waits for something to happen for him to lose his mind and awaken a new power, he looks at Adam and says "will you face me?"
I always liked Adam and after Edgerunners I like him even more. He gets the job done. Hates fleshbags. Basically a force of nature. Aggressive transhumanist. Decorated war hero. A living legend. Basically general grevious, except scary.
Not to mention he was at least modest enough to offer David a second chance in life. David saying no, tarnishing his final chance to ever see Lucy again, seemed unrealistic, even if he probably wouldnt be 100% in his regular mind
@@Naz1Killer he smiled showing he definitely completed his goals, saving Lucy, getting her too the moon, becoming a cyberpunk and getting too the top of arasaka
@@MembersOfHistory bruh I know we can kill him... im saying that the way he died, we cant actually destroy his brain or what not. So its possible that hes still alive. I mean reverse flash somehow fucking survived a bullet to the head.
@@mrsneedleton3254 maybe they have copies somewhere? Like they have Johnny? It's too easy way for thing like him. Arasaka or someone else under their wing definitely had copy of his mind.
The fact that David is a buff guy now AND equipping a cyberskeleton FOR Adam Smasher and STILL has to look up to him shows how tall Adam Smasher really is. A true monster of a being
I find it funny how in game context, V probably thinks of Rebecca as "The owner of this really cool shotgun" instead of an Edgerunner, and even that is kind of a stretch They just happened to find it on the floor next to Arasaka like some other loot, and they can't text Falco about it cuz how the hell would they know it's related to him at all
Never noticed this before but you can let smasher live. Could lead to another timeline of cyberpunk potential, maybe in the DLC? Would be cool to see him again way stronger.
@Gigabruh So true, some people think it's better to take the high road and spare an unarmed foe or to let him live with the fact he was beaten but in actuality that would have been the stupidest thing you can do, Adam Smasher is a remorseless murdering monster with no redeeming qualities who is genuinely too dangerous to be kept alive and if you're lucky enough to survive a fight with him let alone beat him, you better count that he'll come back for you eventually.
The fact that everyone knows who Adam Smasher is reminds me of a scene in TCW where Dooku introduced Cad Bane and said “This is Cad Bane, who needs no introduction”
I wasn't prepared to watch David slowly degrade into an unsalvageable maniac. Even if he survived his last job he'd just keep doing crazy missions and upgrading himself into full cyberpsychosis.
So, get away Another way to feel what you didn't want yourself to know And let yourself go You know you didn't lose your self-control Let's start at the rainbow Turn away
I get the feeling that either CDPR couldn't, or chose not to give Smasher every ability he's supposed to have. They coded the cyberpsycho mini-bosses correctly with Sandevistan/Kerenzikov, now I wish they can code enemies that can use Sandevistan while you're in it. Edit: Time Dilation Overhaul mod updated, now Adam Smasher can use Sandevistan.
it's only theory but it's possible Yorinobu is behind heist - his plan was to kill Saburo, and what he needed was spacegoat, Jackie, V or Dex are pretty incompetent for this kind of job.
@@xyzxxx33 Uh no? The Voodoo Boys commissioned the heist. Evelyn then brought the commission to Dex. Dex then brought it to V. And then a shit storm happened.
@@xyzxxx33 He likely wanted to wait until they escaped konpeki plaza so he could cause as much mayhem as possible (likely on the first level). Then the code red came on and everyone evacuated so he wasn't as enthusiastic with his job and let me escaped (cuz there is no way he couldn't have just demolished delamain and subsequently, V and Jackie)
fun fact adam smasher knows you are hiding in the fat pillar in konpeki plaza if you have the right cyberware mod on your eyes it highlights enemies that have seen you and he gets highlighted when he walks in
@@sillylittlesheepjax6009 nope its actually a fact that mf'er just dont come for you immediatly cause that would take the fun outta the chasing part xd
the anime that gave one more reason has plenty of players coming back to the game burst the one that destroys the last members of the funniest team in Night city
Vehicle combat, car modification shop and let there be flight are the mechanical mods that come to mind. I also play with some combat rebalance always, to make the shots count more and enemies less spongy. Also check out erebusequity cyberware mods.(for visuals)
My cyberware's threat detector went off as soon as Smasher looked at the pillar. He knew we were there the entire time. Made it obvious that Yorinobu set the entire thing up to pass the blame for killing his father.
In the Fear the reaper ending. Technically, it’s Johnny and V both together who kills Smasher… single handedly. But in canon, Adam smasher gets defeat severally or gets killed brutally by Johnny or V regardless.
It was so funny the theory that came with Adam Smasher seeing you, which seems 100 percent reality with his cyberware, at the time I was a hundred percent convinced when first playing this gig before all that, that Adam Smasher was staring right at me.
I don’t believe this is the real Adam Smasher but the clone because he’s so easy to kill with gun and smaller, while the Adam Smasher in the anime series is a damn giant tank and an explosion proof.
Nah they just didn’t code him right or just put enough effort into it, which looking back at the launch, it wasn’t too uncommon to see, lore wise he does get defeated by V
I love how when Adam who probably just jumped from one of the top floors of the tower slams in front of the Delman and it thinks there is a road block there, then proceeds to ram two cars out of the way getting away from him 😂😂😂
I love how you can really hear the fear/panic in Jackies voice when he says "Sweet fuckin jesus!" As smasher comes barreling towards your getaway vehicle at 4:27
Because unlike Morgan Blackhand, who he respected and saw as a rival, who last beat him, V was just some guy/gal who just waltz'd in and almost ended his career. Living with that L would definitely tear his ego to shreds.
i pondered how V who has less augmentation than David (probably more than Johnny by abit)...able to defeat Adam Smasher who is by far the most troublesome character to deal with within NC. i just got a feeling DLCs will somehow bring back Adam Smasher so we can kill him again.
There's a good chance he's just a construct that's getting put into fully borg'd bodies. So there's basically no way to tell if he's the same person every time with so little actual "person" left. Hell, even his voice is entirely synthetic, and that's the only recognizable part about him.
Adam smasher is my favorite character after he stomped out becca out of knowwhere mans is a whole menace like he is supposed to be and it’s cool as hell how they were having a little moment there and Adam just jumped in not giving a crap about their little moment cus in reality your enemies don’t give a crap
Idk about everyone else but I prefer the english dub of Cyberpunk Edgerunners vastly over the japanese dub. Trigger has always had a great streak with casting good english voice actors and it fits really well into their writing since they do a really good job portraying profanity that just doesn't hit as hard in the japanese versions. If any of ya'll have watched the sub of edgerunners I reccomend experiencing the english dub, you won't regret it.
I think it's really interesting that V will struggle with opening the door if they choose to go into the tower alone, while they'll do it easily if v chooses the side with the aldecaldos.
Adam Smasher was more then a legend. You know how every drink in the afterlife is named after someone? Smashers the one who put them all in the ground. Wonder what that makes V?
The fact Adam Smasher already knew you were behind the pillar made him menacing until you fight him

It’s a tag due to his model. It’s not a ‘glitch’ it’s an oversight.

Using they pronouns cause V can either be female or male depending of the player choice
fun fact adam smasher knows you are hiding in the fat pillar in konpeki plaza if you have the right cyberware mod on your eyes it highlights enemies that have seen you and he gets highlighted when he walks in
Or could be game commands because Adam is a enemy/ boss
nope, thats game system fault
@@sillylittlesheepjax6009 nope, it's not, there is good theory why he can see you and do nothing
@@sillylittlesheepjax6009 nope its actually a fact
that mf'er just dont come for you immediatly cause that would take the fun outta the chasing part xd
6:48 Mf just smashed someones head to say "Interesting" with the most casual tone possible
But who is Adam, and why does he want to smash him?
He smashes people like Rebecca
asking the real questions
If Smasher had to become so powerful to smash Adam, Adam must have been a fuckin monster of a man
the anime that gave one more reason has plenty of players coming back to the game burst the one that destroys the last members of the funniest team in Night city
Nah because david and adam sizing each other up like that is actually dope af
The anime actually made me wanna redownload and play cyberpunk with mods , got any good mods guys ?
Super shotgun mod. The doom gun
Plays pretty good without too. But if you really want, go on the nexus and look, there's plenty
Vehicle combat, car modification shop and let there be flight are the mechanical mods that come to mind. I also play with some combat rebalance always, to make the shots count more and enemies less spongy. Also check out erebusequity cyberware mods.(for visuals)
I recommend waiting for the expansion, it seems that the major changes they were working on will be released with it
so Adam Smasher is just responsible for killing all the big named people and people that we love.
My cyberware's threat detector went off as soon as Smasher looked at the pillar. He knew we were there the entire time. Made it obvious that Yorinobu set the entire thing up to pass the blame for killing his father.
I love how they would rather drive through a car blockage then try to run over Adam smasher.
The two cars were less of a roadblock than the cyborg.
In the Fear the reaper ending. Technically, it’s Johnny and V both together who kills Smasher… single handedly.
But in canon, Adam smasher gets defeat severally or gets killed brutally by Johnny or V regardless.
Adam Smasher was already menace in the game now he's a bigger menace in the whole fandom
Honestly, Adam Smasher seems more formidable and dangerous in edgerunners than what I have seen from the game.
i like that adam knows V is there
It was so funny the theory that came with Adam Smasher seeing you, which seems 100 percent reality with his cyberware, at the time I was a hundred percent convinced when first playing this gig before all that, that Adam Smasher was staring right at me.
I don’t believe this is the real Adam Smasher but the clone because he’s so easy to kill with gun and smaller, while the Adam Smasher in the anime series is a damn giant tank and an explosion proof.
Nah they just didn’t code him right or just put enough effort into it, which looking back at the launch, it wasn’t too uncommon to see, lore wise he does get defeated by V
When I first heard about Adam smasher I thought it would be awesome and that he'd be a warhero and help David, I was so wrong
Adam Smashers, smashing happy endings since 2022
I love how when Adam who probably just jumped from one of the top floors of the tower slams in front of the Delman and it thinks there is a road block there, then proceeds to ram two cars out of the way getting away from him 😂😂😂
Imagine v cameo in season 2 that will be very cool
Season 2? For a trigger show? HA
@@thepillowhead2453 it's a collab so maybe becuase the potential of having more seasons would be beneficial for both sides
@@sexilatinoboi69 maybe if a Cyberpunk sequel comes out in the future with another tie-in anime, that would be nice to see.
if anything it would be part 2 of cyberpunk. Lucy's still alive and on the moon, the place that v goes in here comes to reaper ending
Damn! I just noticed that you used (Guts) Rebecca's gun to kill Adam Smasher! My respect is your's buddy.
I love how you can really hear the fear/panic in Jackies voice when he says "Sweet fuckin jesus!" As smasher comes barreling towards your getaway vehicle at 4:27
Adam in anime: destroyer of worlds
Adam in game: 🤡
V in game: slayer of the mentally challenged
V in lore: "Warning, choom Slayer has entered the facility"
I love the overlapping voice between Johnny and V
No wonder cyberpunk is driving record numbers r.n. the show was amazing
David: "I have a Sandevistan, bring it!"
Smasher: "Rudimentary."
David: 😳
David:💀
Smasher and V needed more run ins.
Smasher is definitely that guy in the cyberpunk universe, my Guy straight up ripped this Nigga David apart bro thought shit was sweet fr☠️🗿
David had the best response....kid wanted all that smoke.
Probably the only person not afraid of Smasher, even till the bitter end. What a choom.
I like how you finished him with Becca's shotty in the end.
just remember: *smasher knew you were there and decided not to annihilate you right where you stand*
He’s the Mountain of Cyberpunk. People are in fear just hearing his name.
Leaving him alive after defeating him feels so much more rewarding for some reason.
Because unlike Morgan Blackhand, who he respected and saw as a rival, who last beat him, V was just some guy/gal who just waltz'd in and almost ended his career. Living with that L would definitely tear his ego to shreds.
@Siberian Damn. I legit didn't think about that...
😂Del literally said roadblock ahead then immediately went through a roadblock
8:13 this one's for Becca
Adam Smasher like almost knows he can’t kill the player/V/Johnny so he chooses to kill the people we care about whenever possible
Bruh Adam deadass stares at you and Jackie the entire time. He knows your in there I stg
1:01 why did the A.I sounds panicking? Lol
You know what, it takes a damn good villain to make us all hate him
Adam smasher just looking straight at you hiding in the cubby
Finishing the fight with Becca’s gun. A stylish and fitting way to send the big guy to hell 😎
Rip Becca she will allwys be missed and remembered adlest she was holesome before she died last thing she said was were HAVEING a moment here f you
I love adam smasher
i pondered how V who has less augmentation than David (probably more than Johnny by abit)...able to defeat Adam Smasher who is by far the most troublesome character to deal with within NC. i just got a feeling DLCs will somehow bring back Adam Smasher so we can kill him again.
There's a good chance he's just a construct that's getting put into fully borg'd bodies.
So there's basically no way to tell if he's the same person every time with so little actual "person" left. Hell, even his voice is entirely synthetic, and that's the only recognizable part about him.
Both Takemura and Adam Smasher knew you were there. They both chose to stay silent.
V is the ultimate Edgerunner.
glad you put so many rounds in him afterward, for david and becca!!
Adam smasher is the Micah bell of cyberpunk
Adam smasher is my favorite character after he stomped out becca out of knowwhere mans is a whole menace like he is supposed to be and it’s cool as hell how they were having a little moment there and Adam just jumped in not giving a crap about their little moment cus in reality your enemies don’t give a crap
I just noticed sauls head grows back when you pick him up 😂
But little did they know…Adam was staring at V and Jackie all this time but chose to do nothing and spare them.. 0:55
1:20 for those who don't now atom smasher has been watching you this entire time
Adam knew you were there and let you take the fall for the poisoning imo.
I like smasher, cool concept, good villain character.
Idk about everyone else but I prefer the english dub of Cyberpunk Edgerunners vastly over the japanese dub. Trigger has always had a great streak with casting good english voice actors and it fits really well into their writing since they do a really good job portraying profanity that just doesn't hit as hard in the japanese versions. If any of ya'll have watched the sub of edgerunners I reccomend experiencing the english dub, you won't regret it.
This is for Rebecca
0:13 *gasp* he said it!
HE SAID THE LINEE
I love how every single time he gets killed they shoot him like 10 more times. Especially after they watched edgerunners lol
Rightfully so he crushed Rebecca AND THEY WERE HAVEING A MOMENT
I mag dumped a full mag into Smasher’s head with a Fenrir for Johnny. And then another 8 shots with the Guts for Rebecca and David.
I think it's really interesting that V will struggle with opening the door if they choose to go into the tower alone, while they'll do it easily if v chooses the side with the aldecaldos.
i havent played this game yet but as far as i can tell Imagine all of this are connected together like cyberpunk 2077 and Edgerunners are connected
"Decide Smasher's fate"
Me before watching Edgerunners: Screams at the screen while shooting
Man, what a game (I love the anime too)
Jackie: panic
Delamain: roadblock detected
Adam Smasher was more then a legend. You know how every drink in the afterlife is named after someone? Smashers the one who put them all in the ground.
Wonder what that makes V?
Considering Smasher is considered a boogeyman or a demon, V would probably be some kind of angel or even a god to NC
Probably Night City’s guardian angel.
I wish Adam Smasher had his own game. It would have been loads of fun to play as him.
After watching cyberpunk (the anime)this brings me great pleasure 🙂
Even before the patches, seeing Yorinobu strangle Saburo with his bare hands JUST A FOOT AND A HALF AWAY FROM YOU was horrific and disturbing.
"Roadblock ahead" even del doesn't want anything to do with smasher.
It bother anyone else that Saul's head grew back? Breaking the realism at a point like that really kills the emotional weight of things.
