To this day i have not beaten this boss without cheesing him with wall jump slashes or without wasting a health potion (which i always try to save up for the village)
I am playing on hard in Sigma which is a mistake of hubris, do not attempt. All the bosses get mooks and all the regular looks are replaced by elite mooks. Hard is NG+
it's the arguments falling over to "this game good cuz this a challenging game exists between dumb pause heal save load game" Dark souls moveset and keyframes today is shit, but it was a thing you only saw on fighting games or 5 frame beat em up attack, Dark Souls visuals and keyframes combat was the shit in that time.
@@wiredmania2653 well def but I just did a basic tldr summary. But if you want actual challenge black is the way to go. But sigma is for baby’s first steps
The camera is still the biggest enemy for me. I got it stuck behind a pillar in the second Alma fight, like a 6" wide pillar and the camera just stayed there.
All these little kids who thought a hard game should be given their own genre called "soulslike" never knew what a true hard game like Ninja Gaiden is. This boss took me 10 attempts.
That was a Jab-1 to Command grab Okezemi. being downed against the wall is untechable, that jab was timed to my get up animation first frame. Ninja Gaiden is a 3d Fighting Game, not an action game.
I agree wholeheartedly. I was just a kid at that time and remembered how awesome the gaming experience was for the game. I did not play any of the sequels and wish they would continue this series now. This was the first game that I truly consider to be hard but fun and entertaining. Souls like games are just too punishing.
Kids nowdays talk about input reading. Lol. Games like these had multiple forms of cheat to be unleashed upon you on how well you were doing against the "A.I."
@@IRUKANJI Its not required for the plat, you just have to beat all the missions on master ninja difficulty, so that means beating every mission 4 times.
This first boss really humbled my ass as a kid. From then onward i knew it would not be any easier

Technically the programmers kinda gave him a big defense box so as long as you win, that is all that matters!
So that's how it ends. I don't remember the white ninja helpers. Just wall running for my life.

Master ninja is worse, I completed all difficulties
@@darkpromeathean937 Master in Razor's Edge was nightmare mode.
I think back in the day people mainly played this because it was also a damn good action game, not just to jerk each other off over how hard it was.
I played it on a crt on top of a dresser in my dorm common room while my roommate ate popcorn. Man it was a simpler time

Only reason people say black is better than sigma, because black is harder. Also no Rachel
@@phoenixwhiler943 Black have schizo ayane voice while you look at her message, anyway,there is more than this tha do make a different game appart

The camera was my biggest enemy in these games. Fun times though.

cant wait to fight alma again, still have nightmares.
Soulslike nah GAIDEN LIKE😎
This game is in my all time top 5 best. Fuggin love this game
The double grab at 1:43 was straight up dishonorable lol he didn't have to do you like that.

This is still my fav game. Always will be~
I feel like Onimusha should be considered one of the greats as well.

@@tristx7832 Me too. Iam not the least bit interested in the sequels. Just full on new Ninja Gaiden game with Ryu, is heaven for me
Facts! Back in the day, Ninja Gaiden and DMC used to be the toughest games on the block
@sircumsalot3604the first 3 are much more difficult especially the third
@@rayv6671We don't talk about the 2nd
@sircumsalot3604 Try on the hardest difficultty and then say its easy
@@uoiuo DMC especially the first one is easy especially compared to Ninja Gaiden Black
@@garysalazar5279No its not, NG is harder but DMC1 on Dante must die, bosses practically 2 shot you
it's still a joke, when you play on a very hard NG no dark souls even comes close

The double command grab against the wall really lets you know what's going on
ah...the ptsd kick back in
Haha I remember back in the day my friends and I would take turns and bet who would last the longest lol
Ah Ninja Gaiden ❤ also making some content myself on a gaming channel, do you know you can play ngb on xbox backwards compatibly?
I need to pick up a capture card, OBS, and a 360 to hit that. I miss the puzzles and never played black, just the OG.
Ninja Gaiden Black is the best version.
Also I beat this game back then 11 times on master ninja so should I try a game like Elden Ring.
you play like you could do it on very hard, that's very nice on normal and hard
Had to unlock those. Actually just finished uploading the Master and very hard playthroughs.
It's not cheap either. You need actual skill for this game
Yessir
The camera angle is terrible... I'm getting frustrated just by watching this.
You can't change camera speed either.
For like, years of my childhood I had no fuckin idea what came after this boss because I just never beat him lol
I might have to start over on normal and stream it then.
Getting the platinum trophy for this game was one of the greatest achievements of my life.
Facts. I platinumed the entire trilogy in 2 months. So stressful and rage including, but I would do it all over again.
@@christopherd1957 Same here, 3 was the worst to do
How far do you have to get in the survival modes cause I am not looking forward to having to beat Doku over and over again.
@@IRUKANJI Its not required for the plat, you just have to beat all the missions on master ninja difficulty, so that means beating every mission 4 times.
I played RE on the WiiU so there were no trophies or achievements I can remember.
