You forgot to mention that Alice's photos that she's burning in her cutscene are pictures of her and *Margaret* . Alice is going through the same grief and loss that Travis is going through with the death of Bishop, but instead of taking it out through vengeance, she's expressing it through her melancholic view on the ramifications of being an assassin.
Good point - especially since Suda revealed that they're siblings. Another case of the "kill the past" theme.
@@peanut3423 I find it weird that she doesn't reference Margaret once in that fight. Sounds like something was cut from it
@@shawklan27 dude I feel the same way I'm like she's not at least pissed off that Travis killed her sister I sense no Vengeance or you know she didn't have like a speech about it avenging her sister. Like it feels like she didn't really care or perhaps she was pissed off but she just didn't want to show her emotions and then go in a deep rage because that will probably throw her off and you know Travis would end her easily. But honestly though I never expected that Margaret and Alice would be siblings are no more Heroes 2. Despite the last name being Moonlight and Twilight it kind of makes sense but in a way they don't look alike so I wouldn't even tell if they're like actual sisters or they could be like what step sister. But yeah Margaret and Alice were like my two favorite bosses and no more Heroes 2.
Fun fact: In NMH3, Travis only technically kills 2 of the 10 aliens: Black Hole and Golden Joe.
Native Dancer kills Black Night Direction, Kimmy kills Vanishing Point, Velvet Chair Girl kills herself, Midori Midorikawa is spared, Notorious kills Sniping Lee, Fu kills both Sonic Juice and Paradox Bandit, and Damon kills Fu.
What a let down
2.5 if we count Ohma
@@maximodubs4189 is that the pet alien that was with the chair girl ?
@@Level-iy5ye yep
@@maximodubs4189 okay then
I did the boss music for Gold Joe! Glad you liked the fight, was cool hearing your thoughts on the rest of the bosses and games!
Dude, your music for him was such a great beat!! Glad you enjoyed this ^_^
Did you do the other boss themes? What boss themes in other games did you do?
@@christiandauz3742 Just Gold Joe in 3!
How did u get contacted/found by grasshopper? Just curious.
Gold Joe boss music was my favorite music in the game!
I feel the exact same way about Henry in NMH3, he just... awoke, he's no longer the irish stereotype created by the Cooldowns, now I think he's in a similar state to Kamui, something beyond a human, that can inhabit multiple bodies. And man that fight is amazing, I love how he starts with a moveset really similar to the one in his fight in the first game but later on he goes full Vergil and starts teleporting, attacking with giant swords and summoning spikes from the ground.
Yeah, I've heard the theory that the "third eye" he has is a tell that he's "enlightened" in a way that multiple other Suda characters like Kamui and Emir from Killer7 have gone through. And yeah, Henry's definitely my favourite boss in 3; it really does feel like an evolution of his first boss fight.
@@peanut3423
He went insane by watching Thor...
Someone get that man some Thor: Ragnarok.
Reminds me of a certain thing from Bloodborne that lets the player see some wild shit
He also has black hair like Travis now. Cool
Also hes not dead
Tfw all the Mr. Doppelganger clones are legit doing Jojo poses
also his characters is huge nod to Kira Joshikage.
Both are sick perfectionists that enjoy killing
Man, 11 years since that countdown. Hard to believe that its been that long.
The Top 25 No More Heroes list that you made was what originally got me into the franchise as a whole, and I am incredibly happy that it did, because both the first and second games are some of my favorite games at this point.
What makes this video even more crazy for me is that I just got No More Heroes 3 and have been playing through it, and this video feels so nostalgic for me.
Great work Alex, keep up the great work.
Man, I still remember seeing your countdown man. Keep it up 👍🏻
Oh man, I can’t believe this video was made. I was in middle school when the first list came out and I was like “games can be like that? All this violence and swearing? This has gotta be the greatest series of all time and I swear I’ll play it some day” well flash forward to years later after I already watched multiple let’s plays and knew everything I could learn about the series I still wanted to play it. I ended up grabbing the last copy of no more heroes heroes paradise from my local GameStop in like 2014 and i still remember that being one of my favorite moments in my gaming life. I’ve since 100%ed every no more heroes game and played through the first two games 20 times each. They never get old for me for some reason. Flash forward to now when I’m sitting in a Walmart at the age of 21 still thinking of how that original list affected me and introduced me to one of the most important series ever. Basically what I want to say Alex is thank you and to everyone let’s kill the past together!
This brought back all of those feelings of the past, and even if I truly got into the series real recently, speeding through each game to 3, it was amazing. And NMH3 delivered too with a lot of their fights. The overall rankings were pretty standard and I agreed with a lot of them. Loved the little analyses in-between too.
Real sad you forgot the part where Travis and Juvenile summon a literal Deus Ex Machina against Damon though before the Smash Bros. clone.
Also fun fact, since Suda and Sakurai are pretty good friends, Sakurai has played through NMH3, and apparently laughed his ass off at that final boss fight.
I would think because it was just a QTE boss fight..though epic as it was..didn't really count as a boss fight..then again I might be wrong on that.
Also I didn't know Sakurai witnessed that boss fight with Damon..and knowing that he enjoyed it..really shows the craziest of both Smash and No More Heroes.
Wait, don’t you mean… a DAEMON EX MACHINA?
@@Nameless-ln5mr there we go~ Didn't want to say that cause I was more or less referring to the trope first lol
It's also funny since it's being used against the similarly named Damon
Stunned that the voice actor for Caine made an hour long video about my favourite video game series of all time.
Full confession: As a long time follower of the Countdown Community, it feels honestly gleefully nostalgic to hear Jasper Batt Jr. Get torn apart again. Even though he was pretty much the go to punching bag back in the day, it's been long enough since then that it feels good to see him back on a list or ranking again in his old punching bag role.
It feels almost homey knowing that Jasper is still the gaming and countdown community’s local punching bag
Confession of my own: As a kid I used to genuinely think his name was "Bastard Twat Jr." cause The Quarter Guy called him that once.
"No more Heroes Forever"... Now that I noticed this jab... DAMN, the ol' Duke can NEVER catch a break.
granted that was back when the game was in develpment and not rushed out as a messy, buggy, poorly written mess
Henry turning into an absolutely creepy edgelord was such a fucking whiplash. I always suspected he was the Mysterious Man and i was excited to see how Henry would fight this time around but NOTHING could've prepared me for what we got.
Initially, it did piss me off to see how insanely different he was now, like he is almost a different character entirely, but EVERYTHING AFTERWARDS was a total mindfuck. He apparently didnt die after killing him and then he "kills" Travis, then we play Deathman?
That was an insanely anxiety-inducing cutscene to be left on just to get thrown into a minigame that somehow results in Travis coming back to life. Travis then happens to meet Miike and Henry is just forgotten till after the credits just to tease No More Heroes 4 i guess? It was really insane and strange and i honestly dont know how to feel about it now.
I do like the new design though. He now looks like an edgier Travis, they DO look like brothers now, but the contrast between him before and him now is fucking nuts. Like wow.
No More Heroes in general is probably the most unpredictable game series i've played, which i've come to expect when going into 3, but even THEN i was caught offguard by so many things that i kinda love being whiplashed.
OH WAIT HE LOOKS LIKE THAT BECAUSE HE HAD A REVELATION WATCHING THOR
TRAVIS CALLS HIM A COSPLAYING DICKHEAD BECAUSE HE LOOKS LIKE LOKI LMAO
He's not the mysterious man it seems
Thoughts on No More Heroes 3 specifically:
-FU is absolutely the best villain in No More Heroes thus far. notonly does he get the most screentime, but he feels like a dark mirror of travis' worst traits back in the first game without absolutely any of his positive traits, and is in general a fun villain who is REALLY satisifying to kill after EVERYTHING he does.
-I feel like if SOnic Juice didn't die he and Travis could've hung out and played video games together. Pour one out for a real one.
-The fanservice in this game is great. Getting to explore Santa Destory again (albeit a VERY changed version of it), seeing references to past games with certain bosses and other things...it's wonderful.
-The final boss against Damon isn't TOO difficult especially after the pain that was FU, but its a FUN final boss and the sheer ridiculouslness of ending No More Heroes with a direct reference to Super Smash Brothers is great.
-I was so confused by Henry's change I didn't even know it WAS Henry at first (the new voice didn't help). I'm...honestly not sure how to feel about it, but I would like an actual explanation for why Henry not only is so different but seemingly has SUpernatural powers like Chloe Walsh, Matt helms and Captain Vladimir. Here's hoping for DLC or a sequel!
-I miss Jeane's anime hair from the Visual Novel segments of TSA.
The reason for Henry’s personality change is because he watched the movie Thor and realized that Travis is the Loki to his Thor even if it’s the other way around and the movie also brought some of his past trauma to the surface so now he’s making like his half sister and just wants to kill the past
Sonic Juice would definitely appear in the podcast sequence if he survived the fight.
Spoilers... .... ... Henry would've been more fleshed out if suda didn't end up cutting out the character appearances from silver case and in particular killer7. He was supposed to have contact with Emir Parkreiner (someone who also once learning of thier secret past got a 3rd glowing green eye"the eyes of the devil" like Henry). I'm guessing the "adults" Henry tells travis about that took Henry travis and Jeane, were a similar/same group that did the experiments on children in killer7. But all we got was the catalyst of watching Thor in TSA, man what binge watching the MCU does to a man.
@Rule of NOT Travis becomes the No.1 assassin in the galaxy after he bought a lightsaber off ebay, and Henry gets possessed by demons after watching Thor.
What a blessed series this is.
Sonic Juice deserved better
This honestly felt like going on a trip down memory lane. I started watching your videos when you went under the name "peanut3423" and they introduced me not only to franchises like No More Heroes, Mad World and Ōkami, but also to the concept of countdown videos as a whole.
Looking back, it's amazing to see how much you've improved in the span of a decade to the point where you're doing a great job at voice acting on various characters in video games! I'm really looking forward to anything you're up to in the future!
Bit of an odd confession: You didn’t just get me into No More Heroes. Seeing that Pulp Fiction poster in the background of your first set from way back when is part of the reason why I wanted to watch that movie.
I would with Travis strikes again that the boss fights themselves aren’t the most amazing, but the dialogue you have with them I love, like electro triple star will always stick in my mind for the moment where he asks Travis if wants to rule the world inside the game and Travis says “games are meant to be played, not lived in”
It’s so interesting cuz as a kid you probably wished you could live in your favorite video game, so Travis’s response to his favorite game character from his childhood is such an interesting moment.
Man, this is leaving me feeling very nostalgic! Glad to have been a part of the NMH community since the beginning.
Yo, I remember you! You were the one who originally made the nipples of doom joke!
When are you gonna make a video about no more heroes 3?
velvet chairgirl's cutscene as well as a lot of the first trailer for nmh3 was animated by studio ac-bu who also did work on pop team epic, but maybe more famously the music video for Galo Sengen, which entails tanned dragonball characters partying and doing mushrooms. They're honestly probably my favorite animation studio ever and seeing them work on one of my favorite game series ever was an absolute dream come true.
It's so cool to see this after so many years. Your countdown videos were the first things that got me into youtube and wider game culture online. I was probably way too young to be watching your videos when I did but oh well. It is shocking though how much our opinions have diverged especially on No More Heroes 3 lmao.
The ultimate ranking and the return of the king
This makes me so happy bro I'd watch your old nmh boss coutdown CONSTANTLY as a kid, I never, ever would've expected a follow up. This has been my most anticipated game ever and I hope you got as much enjoyment out of it as I did!
11 years ago I was a dumb kid who didn't know what No More Heroes was until I saw the original countdown. Now I'm a dumb adult with and appreciation for suda51 and cult classic video games
I hate that when I heard "Design by someone who worked on Borderlands 3" and then not long after that "He did kinda come right out of nowhere." and "I do feel like he was a bit less fully realized than he perhaps could've been".
Well... all I could think of was that you described the boss fight and managed to simultaneously describe the writing of borderlands 3 at the same time.
Damn, which boss was that again?
After the pain that was Jasper Batt, I’m glad NMH3 was able to pull off an extremely satisfying finale. It was both emotional and hilarious.
The part where Travis is saved by a deus ex machina via a mech from the game Daemon X Machina to fight Damon is the most Suda51 thing ever and had me dying of laughter.
Just Travis saying "The mech from Daemon X Machina, developed by Japanese publisher Marvelous?!!"
It's so blatant, I love it
This got me nostalgic. Your video from 2010 was one of the things that got me into the series. I kinda hope we get a DLC where we get to fight all the people we couldn’t fight like Black Night Direction, Paradox Bandit, and maybe even Dark Star
Oh my god, to think I was there when the first no more heroes list was released, and then following the release of TSB and NMH3 and seeing it all come full circle is an experience unlike any I've had on my time on CZcams. This was a great watch!
Hi Alex! I've been a fan of yours for almost a decade now and that countdown you made about NMH was what got me into this series in the first place, so I wanted to share some guru knowledge. There is a semi-reliable way to get around Jasper's tornado punch using a mechanic I'm pretty sure the game never tells you about. Dodge the first one and then when the second is thrown, hit block within a few frames of it connecting to perfect guard it and then you have time to roll out of the way of the third. Sometimes. Honestly it's not even that consistent. But I just wanted to thank you in some way for the major influence you've had on my life through all these years. Burn on bright, Autarch. I'll always be a fan.
I'm kinda bummed you didn't go into a screaming rant at Jasper Batt Jr. But you've already screamed at him already, so no biggie. The absolute disappointment and loathing for the boss still comes across.
Love having you back, and this feels like a great callback linking the past to the future. Keep it up!
It's amazing that recently..I've played the entire No More Heroes Series before No More Heroes III. Beating each game at my own pace..and well it was quite a joyride..heck I loved the series so much I did a 2nd playthrough of No More Heroes 1 just to get all the outfits and stuff. Also it's funny that Dr.Naomi and Juvenile are sisters.
Anyways I'm surprised that you put Henry from No More Heroes 3 higher then the original..and yet..I felt the same when fighting him..after well snapping because of him watching Thor...wow that movie of all things.
Oh..and are we ever gonna figure out how Dr.Naomi became a cherry blossom tree...for some reason?
Yeah, I liked the gameplay feel better in III. Meanwhile what it lacked in memeworthy dialogue it more than made up in being unsettling as heck.
As for Naomi, my only theory is that Suda watched Twin Peaks The Return and decided he wanted a character to also suddenly become a tree like in that series.
@@peanut3423 She's a skill tree.
…GOD
DAMMIT
@@TerravancerYoh Dang it...that's so brilliant it hurts!!
The smash bros fight must have been cathartic for Suda as well. He worked with EA for shadows of the damned, but his vision was gutted again and again. He’s come to terms with the project’s outcome and the game’s fate itself, but judging by how he made the final boss, it’s clear he’s putting the nail in the coffin of the grudge against the people who caused that fate by making a massive middle finger to the guy in charge at the time. Fu was Travis’s kill the past. Damon is Suda51’s.
I honestly like what’s done with Henry. It’s so batshit insane that I can’t help but like it. It’s just how far they go with completely changing Henry and it feels just like a move Suda would make.
I had this headcanon that Million Gunman was like the older brother or something of Dr.Peace. Makes more sense than whatever the hell they tried to do
I have a question: Did anybody, even once, thought that FU's name was pronounced as... well, the initials for Fuck You?
Not to mention it's a lampoon on ET - F and U are the letters that come after E and T, respectively.
@@peanut3423 Plus, Considering the fact that FU makes the cast of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" combined look like friendly neighbours in comparison... Yeah, it's fitting. Also, the ET lampooning is clever.
AAAAA YOU GOT ME INTO THIS SERIES WITH YOUR OLDER VIDEOS AND IM SO GLAD TO SEE YOU UPLOAD THIS!!!
No surprise but yeah, you were a huge inspiration to me playing this series and becoming a content creator. Not much I can say other than thanks, and I’m glad we can all celebrate this series together
Man what a nostalgia trip this is to the early days of Top 10 content creators.
Man I remember the original countdown. Such long-ago memories.
Then again, most countdowns on this channel are ^^
Fitting how I'm playing the whole no more heroes series and welcome back to countdowns Alex
Man Alex I remember watching your videos religiously back in the day. Can’t believe it’s been 11 years
Can we also talk about the brilliant fakeout with Sniper Lee? Sniper Lee starts counting down, and Travis says something like "This familiar feeling... When the countdown reaches zero *he* appears!"
Literally everyone who caught that was expecting Henry, and then we get Notorious instead... And then Henry shows up later anyway. XD
wow 11 years since i first became a fan of you, that 1st boss vid of yours was what got me into No More heroes, glad to see that the series and you are still going strong today
Holy hell I remember watching your original lists on this series
So glad to see you back at it
PLEASE make a separate video doing Harvey's voice while also saying Skull Face's lines to Travis! That shit cracks me up!
I’m just an average No More Heroes Fan that loves Boss Fights and I remember watching your old list from that past and I just gotta say Bro I had no idea that you were the one voicing Caine in The Digital Circus! That’s so dang awesome man! You did an amazing Job voicing Caine!
Caine is a Fan of No More Heroes!!!🤩
This video is EXTREMLY Blessed.
All the NMH1 bosses become really easy when you max out Tsubaki Mark 3 and spam the low charged attack
Seeing this video pop up in my subscription box honestly got me so unbelievably excited!
Your videos introduced me to No More Heroes so many years ago. I can't remember which video it is (Top 25 Boss Battles w/ Josh Scorcher?) but there was one where for every number you'd play the clash at the end of NMH1 where 'No More No More Heroes' starts blaring during the Travis and Henry fight. That clip alone was burned into my memory and made me want to seek out the series
And to see you come back after all this time to talk about the series again? Absolutely priceless. Feel like I'm home from school at my parents' house sneaking onto their desktop computer to watch CZcams again
Thankfully you can relive the Blackhole space battle by finding it in a mission on the map after his chapter.
Man, it feels great to be back! Awesome, awesome video with great commentary and acute observation on what makes No More Heroes a legendary series. It's almost magical that even after all these years, you and many others are still so passionate about it and talking about it, feels reaaaaaally good man :D
NMH3 is a game it took a while for me to fully digest, but I totally agree with your takes on it -- not only with the whole culmination of Travis' evolution from a crappy antihero in a world where there are "no more heroes" into a genuine force for good in his own right, but also the assessments on the passage of time and how change isn't always for the better. As you said, 3 is a game that REALLY likes to play with its tone; it's simultaneously the darkest and also goofiest of the series, but in a way that's so "matured" since the first game that really helps make the series really feel so "complete".
Like, I did have A LOT of hesitation going into the game mostly because that hardened juxtaposition of wackiness and darkness kinda lost its edge since the first game (2 and TSA are still good but didn't quite strike the iron as hot in that regard imo), but Suda51 and co REALLY managed to nail it for what may very well be NMH's finale. It's weird that I feel "proud" of this auteur I've looked up to for over a decade in being able to make a sequel THIS resolute, satisfying, and honestly as smart as it was, but I'm really happy with it. I'm so glad that beyond all his eccentricities, Suda still really GETS the drama and messages and themes he wants to tell.
(side note: kinda disappointed we didn't get a proper boss fight with the real Mr. Doppelganger in 3 tho lol)
I have yet to play 3 but will be sure to come back and watch once I do. Your original Autarch countdown was a huge inspiration and seeing you revisiting it hits right in the nostalgia. Thanks for helping introduce so many new players to this amazing series!
Nostalgia hit me like a truck here. Thanks for the memories Alex
>Native Dancer was designed by someone who worked on Borderlands 3
THAT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE MY GOD
HE LOOKS LIKE ZER0
I KNEW HE LOOKED FAMILIAR
I agree FU was the best villain of the series. He was the embodiment of all of Travis’s flaws if he never grew up, in essence, he was Travis’s past personified, and Suda51’s theme he puts into all his games is “Kill the past”
Hearing Alex talk about Jasper Batt Jr is like a nostalgic journey. I still remember picking the game up and going “Is the boss fight THAT bad?” And immediately feeling myself turn into pats Alex. Gooood times.
This popped up in my recommendations this morning, and I wasn't disappointed.
The biggest takeaway from reminiscing on all the bosses throughout the series for me, is that even though there are some truly forgettable ones out there, the music at least is always really good, with a couple of exceptions. I hated the Jasper Batt fight, but I honestly love all the music for it (especially the third phase)
For Jasper part II, the punches can be blocked reliably; NMH2 actually has a mechanic for blocking right before the attack to let you reduce the amount of frames Travis is recoiling from a block.
I was so excited to beat Travis Strikes Again and 3, and then find you made this video
My god I was a KID when I watched all your old boss fight rank top 10s, you put no more heroes on my radar!
Thanks to your channel and the original NMH boss fight + awesome video game music videos you made, I was one of those people you brought No More Heroes to the attention of and it's since become my favorite game, possibly favorite piece of fictional media ever. Did me a great service, and like you said it was just incredible to see the series reach the point of a third game. Bad Girl will always be my favorite fight! Great video and thanks again.
Thank you Alex and thank you Suda 51 for getting me into the No More Heroes franchise, it's such a blast that once I picked the controller, I knew the game has shown me what to offer with the music, levels, gameplay, characters, and the humor that makes No More Heroes one of my favorite hack n slash franchise.
FU and Jeane remain some of my favorite final bosses ever
I didn't even realize you were the guy who made the ORIGINAL No more heroes boss list!
Damn, if I never saw that video, I dont think I would have gotten into No More Heroes and Suda 51 in the first place. So good to see you back even for a bit, Alex
1:05:45 ok good, l'm glad everyone else is noticing the green color transforming, while sayian haired having, jewel on forehead having, cry hating Henry Cooldown is literally Broly
I had no idea this video existed!!!! Your original rankdowns of the first two games is what got me into this series and even consider it one of my favorites, Im so happy you made another video holy shit Im so excited to watch this after having played all the games myself.
I avoided watching most of this video to avoid NMH 3 spoilers but at the moment of writing I have beaten the game. The game was a roller coaster of emotions and fun for me. Some boss fights were just lame to me but others were really fun. I enjoyed the game overall and look forward to whatever the hell Suda makes next! Awesome video man and see ya next time :D
I knew that one day, you were gonna to revisit your old No More Heroes Boss list the moment No More Heroes 3 was announced and released.
What I was wishing for however, was an actual Countdown ranking the No More Heroes Bosses from Worst to Best.
Oh well. I guess you can't win them all.
Very glad I kept my subscription to you for as long as I did. With how much I've loved this series, I'd say this video was more than worth the wait!
Suda used to work as mortician
Junji Ito was a dentist
Interesting tid bits of info you learn about peopel who's art you like
You have to do the exact circling around for the Velvet Chair boss that you do for Musical Chairs.
Now that's how you do thematic design through gameplay.
1:24 or in Travis words.
"The wachamacallit association"
Alex, I can say that without a shadow of a doubt that you are the one that got me into this series. I cannot thank you enough for that.
Okay one more thing, Harvey Moiseiwitsch's line delivery of "you NYESTY little boii" lives rent free in my head, it's too funny.
Jasper Batt Jr...I remember the old rants and the Burning Trinity videos...
The only arguable “good part” about Jasper Batt is that narratively it does a good job at delivering the lesson that “revenge is never satisfying”
Because, you know
Look at him.
Your countdowns i always go back to, its has a comfort to it when all I had to worry about were games. Good to see you doing well.
Man it’s so crazy I remember your first 25 No More Heroes bosses list all those years ago when you first made it and all of the countdown community and what you talked about is what got me into an amazing franchise filled with interesting and awesome characters and solid gameplay and now it’s all come back full circle thank you so much for everything Alex all the good times you’ve given me and for introducing me to a outstanding franchise.
Oh my god, I can’t believe it’s you! Your videos when I was younger really changed my life, no matter how weird that sounds. So happy to have found you again, love ya
The Autarch returns
I love how most of the plot of No More Heroes, especially in the later games, boils down to the simple phrase: "Well, well, well, if it isn't the consequences of my own actions."
I watched that video 11 years ago! Glad you're still sharing your passion for video games. Keep it up!
Just imaginate you are minding your things when suddenly a "hOly shEet" is heared around all the city
My my my. How the time has passed. I'm glad we can both appreciate No More Heroes even after the third game came out over a decade after Desperate Struggle.
I believe I'm far more well adjusted now than I was back then and I just have to say thank you Alex. Thank you for introducing this series to me. If it wasn't for you I wouldn't even know Suda 51 at all.
So, I've done some thinking, & I've come to the conclusion of a somewhat flaming hot take.
Not only do I think that the "cringe" factor of Henry's fight in NMH3 was 100% intentional, I think it was also meant to serve as a wake-up call to us, the players.
What are we supposed to be woken up to? The idea that Henry's been that level of cringe since NMH1.
Because while we all adore every aspect of his fight in NMH1, his personality is... a lot more shallow than he(Henry) leads us to think.
The big thing that made me realize this was a certain part of the post-fight cutscene. Specifically, the part where Henry is referred to as Travis's "foil."
The issue? Henry refers to HIMSELF that way. That right there, leads me to believe that Henry's spent the entire series hinging his personality on being the antithesis, or "self-proclaimed rival", of Travis, someone he thought was cool.
This makes his "sudden" personality change in NMH3 make a lot more sense, beyond brainwashing theories. He's had the mentality of a kid the entire time, its just far more visible when the actions that come from him acting like a kid aren't what we think of as "cool."
If Mr. 51 *REALLY* wanted to make Jasper's fight feel unsatisfying, then he should've made
it pathetically easy instead of unfairly difficult.
HOLY SHIT BOYS HE'S BAAAAAAAACK.
i was DYING to hear your opinions on the new no more heroes games
i'd be lying if your vids all those years ago didnt totally get me into the games
36:14 Travis Touchdown is to video games what Ash Williams is to Horror. Change my Mind.
Ah, I love when you talk about No More Heroes.
Someone get Henry some Thor: Ragnarok. He might actually snap out of it...
(No More Heroes doesn't get put in Smash)
Suda 51: _fuck you_ **puts Smash in No More Heroes**
I actually screamed out “NO! HENRY!” When he got bisected. I was sent reeling for a couple minutes after his NMH3 fight. Even more reeling when Travis DIED.
Easily MY best fight of the series. SS+ for me, and it’s dedicated SOLELY for that fight. That was how hard that hit me.
“Emerald Henry” (as I’ll call him) is my personal Alice in terms of heavy moments.
Also, Million Gunman was originally written as a revived Dr.Peace, but Suda decided “nah” on it and he wrote him out
Man 3 had such a great cast of boss fights. Also, no matter what anyone's opinions on the bosses of the whole series are, we can all agree that ITADAKIMASU fucking *slaps*
Also, it was your boss lists that got me into both this series AND Madworld.
IMO there were no bad boss fights in 3. Helps that like you said the music is banger after banger.
I
TA
DA
KIMASU
Omg the one and only Autarch of Flame is back. Just love to see it
i gotta say, travis strikes back has some of the best boss designs
I'm not gonna lie I was really hoping there was going to be some way to recruit Kimmy.
But in the end she was way too far gone. I also feel bad because Travis genuinely didn't want to have to get to the point where he did kill her.
Even comparing the power bomb he gave her in No More Heroes 2 to a christening he basically gave her a chance to get out and instead of her taking it she just grew more bitter.
You could almost see the shift in his demeanor in comparison to the rap battle before the fight and when she still is being insisting on just killing him even after the second power when he gave her. He pretty much realises that at this point there is nothing else he could do killing her would just be a mercy
I'm not sure if Henry's theme in NMH3 has an official title, but I've always liked to call it "We Were Finally Cowboys"
Kickass VA and based taste in games? Shit i gotta sub real quick.
I’ll be honest I initially felt robbed with the Henry boss fight for the fact alone of how much he’s changed but with the perspective you put on it imma give it another chance. I absolutely loved the first two games and Travis Strikes Again holds a soft spot. However you have completely re-sparked my interest in NMH3 and for that I thank you 👍🏽🔥💪🏽
Jasper Batt Jr is.... I feel like the attempt at making the presentation a fun boss fight failed, but I like the theming of revenge being a twisted road that changes people for the worst. Note that I'm not saying that he's GOOD, but there is something there. It's just...Buried under being Jasper Batt Jr. I do think that his phases do have some meaning to them, since this is a Suda 51 final boss why the fuck would it not, but at the end of the day it's...hard to care how "taking vengeance can overinflate one's ego" or the like. He just sucks.
