Robo cop vs Adam smasher who wins?
Adam smasher easily
methinks they would team up to destroy mexico bc mexicans smell bad and don't contribute anything to society
Probably Smasher. He’s got some advanced tech… and homicidal tendencies.
Lore accurate Adam Smasher
Adam have higher level tech and just overal better, Robocop gear is, while good, break down alot, and some time he get just straight up trash or one time used stuff, i'll say Robocop gonna put up a fight with how tanky he is, but that about it.
>Joins in last minutes of anime
>Obliterates main characters like it's tuesday
>Refuses to elaborate further
>Leaves
Sounds like my dad.
Wow
vs game version :
>Door Keeper
>Dumb AI
>No sandevistan
>Gets reckt
Ya they definitely gotta fix him in game.
Its literally just Tuesday for him
Adam smasher is a type of villain that even power of friendship cannot defeat
but ness, mario, and sonic can tho
nah matter a fact marios enough
"It's over MC! I'm a fucking arsenal on legs"
"YOU UNDERESTIMATE MY FRIENDSHIP!"
(dies)
white space when?
basically aizen stop ichico theme
Indeed, the power of humanity is the only thing that can end him
"You have a sandevistan!?"
"A rudimentary implant"
A two sentence horror story
Rudimentary?
Then what kind of implant does smasher actually take seriously?
DaiOni.
@@Gfish17 It's not about any singular implant, it's about how far you can go overall without going insane. Almost every combatant worth knowing in the setting has a sandy or a kerry. Smasher is special because RAW he has no Empathy value and doesn't face drawbacks from cybernetics, which is why he's been a fullborg organ pod for decades without going cyberpsycho.
David was a kid who got cocky because he didn't drown in a wading pool and thought it would be smart to free-dive in an oceanic trench.
@@ikillstupidcomments people with empathy should be able to function with cyberware as much as Adam smasher.
@@ikillstupidcomments Adam Smasher is and has been a cyberpsycho tho.
Like Pondsmith said: He is a high functioning cyberpsycho with a job where people want him to kill people.
"None leave the slaughterhouse, not alive!"
That's such a cold line
02:05
“You think you’re special cause you’re scrappy?! DON’T MAKE ME LAUGH!!!”
"Who the fuck are you?!"
Cheesy ass line
The last one was better
In most anime when a villain talks s**t about the main character they're punished for their arrogance and hubris. Adam isn't underestimating his opponent here, Adam really is just that strong.
Gilgamesh
It's a guilty pleasure to Watch
Oh hell yeah it is.
@@etherealmako
In the end they all pay their price though. Gilgamesh & Adam Smasher both.
Reminds me of kaido
Adam smasher is an example of a villain who describes his opponents. He isn’t talking shit, he is accurately describing how inferior you are to him.
And then goddamn well proves it
Nah Fück that he talking shit
@@Awpic
Well played ya, Awpic...😏😎
@@Awpic
Adam Smasher's 🤖💀 definitely isn't *talking some bull$h1t* all around ya, but instead *he's accurately describing about how inferior you (and the Edgerunners) are when compared to him* right...😎
So definitely, this is *one of the BEST villain ever written* ya, bro...😉👍
He’s like Gilgamesh from Fate he’s exactly what he says he is
To be fair: "You could prove to be an interesting construct" is the height of compliment from Smasher.
Frankly, *any* compliment from Smasher would be the stuff of dreams for any Solo looking to make it big
Id love an alternate ending where David becomes Adam Smasher’s protege lol
@@Ankylosaurus_mangiventrisi mean if David answer differently it might change the outcome but who knows. Atleast they did justice to show how legendary Adam Smasher is.
p.s: RIP Rebecca she literally died just because she's standing on the wrong spot
Nah, that would be "I had fun after all" since A-Smasher wasn't interested in the fight first.
@@renhardhalimstupid bitch shouldve moved istg
Funnily enough, Lucy was the most built different of the Edgerunner gang. Trained in a special facility and all, with constant exposure and training in her day-to-day life. Even then, Adam Smasher just out-badassed the entire hacking mechanic.
i pretty sure Adam could isolate himself from any network intrusions. He kept the ports open just to fuck with cyber runners stupid enough to connect with his brain.
@@Siegberg91I mean in game you cannot hack someone who's "offline" from the net, and laughed my ass when the realizatiom just came to me that if you don't want to get cyberbullied just turn off the phone
@@Siegberg91 And them my girl V just insta kills him by uploading some hacks
@yRaven. Not since the 2.1 patch. I gave him 7 stacks of cyberware malfunction, and he had the absolute disrespect to fire up the sandevistan and pop my head like a grape. Looking back at videos of 2.0 and older Smasher, he was a joke compared to now.
He grabbed the Wi-Fi like it was a hardline and manually ripped her out! That’s just stupid badass! 😆
"You have a Sandevistan?!"
"A rudimentary implant"
David's signature cyberwear was Adam's basic implant.
Yup fuckin cold 🥶

Why does he have one? It doesn’t make sense to me.

Everyone did great with their characters, I see a lot of people didn’t like the ripper doc but I loved how he sounded and he seemed to me very Pacifica sounding.

I had a nova stroke reading that but yes choom.
@@Awpic Now imagine reading the doc’s script
Oh yeah now I got it but nonetheless that’s what gives the character personality. But I understand now. 😂 as soon as I started reading that in the docs voice it clicked.
Gotta love how Adam respected David enough to offer giving him a new life as a construct like himself. Goes to show he isn’t some ego-central villain, but instead a mercenary who’s willing to admit potential in people.
You're trying to find humanity and some compassion in a character that never had any and wasn't written that way
@@ramon4184 No he's not, he's just stating what happened
Well, I think Ramon is right. A construct is an ai copy of your mind/consciousness, which Arasaka could benefit from. While I like to think it could’ve happened and Lucy somehow rescues him through the net, being a construct is a void, in which your right to die is stolen from you.
I agree
@@ramon4184you good bruh
Honestly, David and Smasher standing off at 0:35 was my favourite part. He actually had the courage to stand up to a NC legend who has never been bested. Mad respect for my man David.
Dude even complimented him 0:40
Smasher lost quite a few times trough his life, expecially to blackhand
@@bigbywolf5031
So then, Bigby Wolf 🐺
Does the *one Adam Smasher's 💀🤖 actually lost quite a few times through his life* yet, especially to *Morgan Blackhand* for examples right then...🤔🙄? What do you think about it right then?
it was pure Hubris and ignorance though ; not much to be admired.
@@EraChanZ Ah-finally. Blind rage. overstepped what he's really capable of.
In the end he's just a kid who got some cool tech. From the start Arasaka has been playing with him like a toy and he never saw it.
This dude came into the scene bored, called the MC a child, Goomba stomped best girl, gut punched a UBER driver, tore a virus out his head, caused the MC to literally fall apart in front of him, and in the end, he said that he had some fun...
Finally, an Adam Smasher I can respect.
AN ABSOLUTE BEAST.
kiwi is best girl

Adam Smasher is the kind of guy who will see other mercs getting bodied and say, "personally, I'd never let that happen to me."
OH MY GOD KEANU REEVES I LOVE YOU
And he would actually do it too, he ain’t just talking
"Ngl, had that been me..."
@@razor6827 everyone gets bodied at some point
@@razor6827 until v pulled up in 2077 and killed him in 5 seconds flat
To me Smasher has the vibe of someone that's played a game to is end, unlocked all the perks, all the gear, and now they're curb stomping all opposition for what little entertainment it's worth, and to him David is a well crafted mid-level boss fight, not really a challenge but it was a fun little diversion while it lasted.
In other words David’s the player who’s bearly completed story mode, and Adam smasher is the online multiplayer veteran
"YOU THINK YOU'RE SPECIAL BECAUSE YOU'RE SCRAPPY?!"
Adam just be out here laughing at the standard-issue main character trope.
David stood no chance. God that ending, I love it. No plot armor. No ass pulls. Just the hero dying
He certainly ain’t like any other anime MCs
Well I mean he is
someone who thinks he's special vs someone who's actually special
It's not like it was close either. Adam Smasher demolished David.
But how exactly is thst good
In a way, David had earned at least a bit of respect from Adam for standing up to him to his very face.
Before David used that gravity thing on him, you can hear a hint of amusement from Adam that some punk-kid is trying to take him on.
The kids got balls
Adam definitely did at the end
bold and stupid
@@Awpic
02:33 😂😂😂
Dude, I absolutely LOVE villains like this. I'm so tired of how every single villain these days needs to have a tragic anime-style backstory, where all they need is the power of love and friendship to fix them. Screw that, just make my villain a soulless, coldhearted bastard. Make them like an animal, or a predator. Nobodys asks why a lion hunts, *it just does.* It doesn't think like a normal person. To me, that's scary. Can't be calmed or reasoned with. Matter of fact, he's chill. You're not even human to them, just a hunk of meat. I fucking love that.
Well tbf Adam smasher was suicidal once that's mostly why he's the way he is now.
@@Deevious. That's not true. He was always a killer. Don't know where you got that from.
@@Big-Papa-Smurf yeah even before he got his implants bro was a fucking psycho
Fits so well how he talks about people. It’s like he is talking about livestock and he is the butcher.
" Nobodys asks why a lion hunts, it just does" Thats a raw ass line
1:11 mc and lucy: classic movie wall-sliding.

i have no doubt if he just fell down the building instead, hed still land all those shots whilst falling down

@@Awpic
Fine then, Awpic. And so, *which one comment are you tried to read* 📖🧐 here right?
English sir. I speak English.
The fact that he beat the main team by himself, and even wiping the floor with David (with a body that has anti gravitational gear) and simply saying “I had *some* fun” shows how badass he is
Goomba stomping Rebecca just because she was in the way. Guy is living life likes its a video game and he's got cheat codes
@@barrylyndon5552goomba stomped 🤣🤣 I was expecting to see a HIGH SCORE appear
I like how Lucy's hacking panels are just sped up versions of the in-game hacking puzzles.
Damn I never noticed she be speed running breach protocol
I mean in the game, they're basically speed up versions too since time stops for you when you do breach protocol, so yeah very accurate to the game lol.
It's a shame the battle between David and Adam was so short, but man what a blast it was.

I love the portrayal of Adam in the anime
Not just what he does and says, but his visual design
He’s pure black, with red highlights and a bleached bone „skull” as his face
His design screams „evil irredemable bad guy” and that’s what he should be
I loved it when faraday was trying to boss smasher around and he simply replies "who the fuck are you?"

Like a bug
He's disgusted by them bro calls them training wheels lmao
@@ramon4184
"Training wheel" huh 🤔? *So what's Adam Smasher 🤖💀 been said* right here ya, Ramon...😕?
@@rahadianaryo5979 He says that at the start of the video
Adam's borg suit can flip tanks, shrug off anti tank rockets, and out run the fastest cars even though its over a ton. A few times normal gravity is nothing for it.
The "A rudimentary implant" line is pure fire imo
The MC thought he was tough shit with his signature chrome, while the Big Bad sees it as nothing more than a costco bargain sale item
I love how the only reason Adam Smasher doesn’t lose his mind from all the chrome is because he’s already way more insane than any amount of cyberpsychosis could ever make him
iirc he /is/ a cyberpsycho, however he's been described as a "high functioning cyberpsycho". he has some control but still shows some tendencies of them, namely an incredible bloodlust
@@Temp5412 what I meant is that cyberpsychosis makes one lose all empathy and humanity. Adam was already a complete psychopath and therefore didn't have any empathy is him to begin with, hence his high functioning nature
@@CompletelyNormalHuman I understand what you meant; I was just adding in a little extra info I remember seeing.
@@Temp5412 I know, just wanted to add onto it
Can't lose your humanity if you never had it
Can't go insane if you never had sanity.
I love that he's so inhuman he just doesn't care about being subtle, he's just a blunt, straight speaking monster
Smasher is just a more dour and melancholic Sundowner
@@Frost5al smashers the original
@@richfoster4369 smashers backstory will give you chills. He was truly a demonic phsyco. Before going full chrome he and his gang were responsible for torture and mutilations of innocent people while being a massive drug addict and would violently rape women
@@ramon4184 I know, that’s why I said he’s the original, since mike poundsmith created him back in the 80s
I think I can safely say that once someone makes a mod which drastically buffs Adam Smasher’s fight, complete with aggressive phases that makes him unhackable (or at least makes hacking him less effective/more difficult) and with another certain “rudimentary implant”, everyone’s gonna want a piece of this absolute menace.
Despite all the shit talk he gave David Adam still respected him enough to give him the offer
That was one of my favorite parts of the whole show.
A part of me wishes he took that offer but we would have never gotten the best line in all of anime. “whatever choom, like I give a shit” I will forever live by those words.
@@Awpic but imagine if he did say yes and season 2 takes us on his new perspective as a new arasaka dog
Ooof now that would be something, oh and what if during that season he somehow reunites with Lucy as a borged out David. Then he now has to try and escape the trenches of being an Arasaka war dog to be with Lucy once and for all.
It says you have no subscribers. NOW YOU DO.
I love how smasher doesn't really have an ego. He just knows how good he is. He's got no problem complimenting his appointments but mostly he's just bored.
A reminder that in the Lore, Morgan Blackhand had minimal cybernetics, was considered the best Solo in Night City, and fought Adam Smasher (who was like 90% 'borg) to a standstill.
Pretty impressive that a mostly meat man managed to fight a steroid infused Terminator to a draw
He had a good amount of Cybernetics tho. He had a sandevistan, cyberoptics, rippers, hydraulic rams, muscle and bone lace, emp blockers, nanosurgeons, smartgun and vehicle links, a neural processor, a cybernetic arm etc. He was about as chromed up as your average edgerunner, what made him special was his insane combat skills and ability to strategize efficiently.
@@cynicalmemester1694 you make it seem like its Melania vs let me solo her
The thing that make me respect Adam Smasher is that although he has become full cyborg and sees it as future of humanity , he has never become a slave of technology. We can peek into his ideology when he talked about David's mech and how he uses his Sandevistan. He seems to aware of the consequence of over reliance on advance device and weaponry , and his true strength comes from the extensive experience as a solo merc and his monstrous psyche. Adam Smasher is like an old outlaw that fully embrace the future but still believe in the old way of doing things , and is insanely good at it , his chrome does not control him , he has dominance over them.
On top of that he is literally build different. He's the one who is actually special.
Ehhh I disagree. Smasher has zero humanity. He see’s people as meat. He see’s any and all values that bind people as weakness. He’s an actual psychopath. Whether thats his manifestation of cyber psychosis or it makes him immune to it is up for debate
Damn. When you put it like that, I don't think a Toa from Bionicle can stand a chance against the likes of Smasher.
Hey don’t ever disgrace TOA KAITA like that. HE IS A BIONICLE GOD.
Terrifyingly special
I love the part where Lucy tries to hack Adam and he just gets shown to be a fucking demon and rips the hack
Edit: GYATT THESE LIKES
YES
Imma say it now, I think he's one of those rouge AIs put in a robot or droid by Arasaka, then they make up the story about him being a man that went full chrome. This is if it isn't canon already.
EDIT: I guess he is a man, though the rouge ai seems more terrifying to me in an in-universe sense.

@@sonofjack6286 he is 4% organic, I think all that’s left is some of his brain
@@sonofjack6286 Arasaka has one of the best counterintelligence crews in the world, they have top dogs when it comes to hacking, so its not far off to just say they have the best countermeasures for ICE's and hacking in general.
1:56 I love how adam's skull is demonic
Just shows how much of a monster he is
Adam Smasher has a very simple weakness that is very hard to exploitable, lack of maintenance, since its canon he is full borg, he cannot afford to lose its patron support due to his high end implants, no ripper doc can perform adequate maintenance on him, only the company he works for can accommodate his needs. It is fair to say, for Adam Smasher to fall out of grace is to fall into disrepair.
Well damn you broke him down to a science 😂
I don't know why, but I was laughing so hard when I saw Adam go down the elevator. I understand he doesn't use his implants unless he needs to. But the fact he's the Most cybernetic person in the Cyberpunk universe and he takes an Elevator during a fight is just a hilarious concept for me
because its probably easier to take the elevator when your target is the size of a car and id like to think smasher gets bored so he thinks of ways to make himself laugh
He definitely has fun
He already got in his cardio for the day, hes a killer but he won't kill his own gainz
Dude was vibing
imagine if the elevator was going slower and there was elevator music
I love how he’s so confident in himself that he doesn’t even use his Sandevestan the first time David uses his
With all his high end arasaka implants I wouldn't be surprised if he can see david in real time
he does, you can see him start to get the after images
david is just going so fucking crazy with the sandy that it was LITERALLY about to destroy his mind and make him crazy if not for lucy after.

@@undeadhound3402 Wish is slowly getting there, adam's got the sandy now
Whenever people mention V beating Smasher, it feels like whenever those annoying fanboys bring up their favorite OC character and proclaim that they're the strongest character in the series that they belong to. It's so annoying lol.
V is not a seperate character, V is supposed to be you.
@@cynicalmemester1694 But V its a lore character in the timeline and supposed to be the strongest in nc of all time.
Even back in Role-playing days, Adam Smasher has ALWAYS been a damn menace!
I loved Smasher in Edgerunners. Throughout the show, David and his friends are built up as these unstoppable badasses, hardened mercs and beasts through and through. Then Smasher shows up and in about 5 minutes completely crushes all of them, not even flinching at anything they have to offer. He literally beats all of them in their own specialties. Outguns Becca, no sells Lucy's hacks, matches David's Sandy and outchromes him, and would've cut Falco's escape with Lucy short if not for David interfering. An absolute monster through and through
Wish Smasher had his Sandy in 2077. Without it, his boss seemed more like a walk in the fucking park.
He is showing the crowd that at the end of the day they are just punks playing with big boy toys. The pinacle of cybernetic enhancements packed from head to toe with the best modds military has to offer. God I love his character especially in the context of the show and how he leaves us with cold feet.
@@blueperseverance3912, he sure did. I hope we see more Edgerunners in the future, whether in the upcoming DLC, or a second season. Either way, Adam Smasher truly is, an absolute beast.

1:31 my favorite part of the entire fight. david gets a hard dose of reality when he's told that his silver bullet is nothing more than a gimmick in comparison to the absolute death machine that is Smasher.
I love how the series finale basically had Adam Smasher humble this man David. He went on the whole series acting like he was special and different from all the others who had special chrome implants, but when Smasher finally came on the scene and told him his Sandevistan was just a basic common implant, David’s true reality finally set in.

Indeed it is, Dan Eyal...💀
The ending of both "Cyberpunk: Edgerunners" anime and "Rogue One" movie are certainly is not a *happy ending* right...😭😭😭
It instantly reminded me of Darth Vader lol
My favorite line of his is describing David's suit as having "anti-gravity training wheels". Most people would see that thing and be intimidated, scrambling for a way to beat it, but Adam has enough combat experience to immediately see a crutch he can sweep from under his enemy.
I also loved when he said “a rudimentary implant” about the Sandevistan. David’s most powerful thing in his arsenal and Adam just sees it as a minor buff.
He ain’t afraid
Well he was originally designated to wield the Cyber Skeleton so I'd imagine he's had time to look over it. Probably why it went into alternative testing. Adam probably wanted nothing to do with it. It's very powerful sure but the glaring weakness is the anti grav that holds it up. A skilled opponent disables those and like David you really can't do much without it
@@Bowiiihowdy yep, the moment Adam took out the Anti grav from David, David got his ass kicked.
Also he didn’t immediately exploit said weakness. He could have clapped David from the start, used his Sandy to get the jump on him.
But instead, he sparred with David, respected his determination, and ultimately in the end, I believe he respected David himself.
2:09 When the disabled kid bullies you
Actually one of the most badass villains in anime
What I love about Smasher? He's the perfect embodiment of neutral evil with a ton of skills that help him maintain balance. Most of the character's in the show and game have committed some kind of horrible act or many, but Adam owns his darkness like armor. He never wastes words, never insult's beyond what is needed, but he never pulls his punches even for a second. Once your an enemy to him your a chance for him to have some fun lol.
“But Adam owns his darkness like armor.”
I’m about to make Adam 4x more scarier,
The reason he hasn’t went cyberpsycho but can absolutely slaughter people (Committing war crimes and such) is because he literally does not feel remorse.
Throughout his entire murderous, horrible life,
He has not felt a SLIVER of trauma.

02:29 Adam Smasher 💀🤖: "Don't *make me, LAUGH* ...💀💢!" **absolutely wrecking down David Martinez and the Cyberskeleton in process...💥**
He deconstructs David while he's deconstructing David.
@@rahadianaryo5979 why do you keep terrorising everyone in this comment section by speaking unnecessary emojis
And then came the nail in the coffin “you think you’re special ‘cause you’re so scrappy?! Don’t make me laugh!!” How many others like David had he dealt with in his decades of warfare and service as arasaka’s murder machine? How many woild be wannabes thiught they were on his level only to be reminded that in the pecking order,he was tha apex predator
Adam Smasher was a SUPER!!! Boss antagonist. Hyped up throughout the series as a legend who we’d never thought we’d see and once he came on screen there wasn’t a single frame that didn’t make him look badass 😊
1:17 Adam smashed her
they did such a good job with Smasher. just the way he’s drawn, the red highlights and shadowy figure, are so threatening. he really embodies how david and his crew were completely out of their league and i love it
Right like he is legit menacing
@@Awpic All that...for V to solo...
Hope some one makes a mod that reskins smasher make him look bigger and give him the same color pallet as in the anime, deep jet black, pale bone white for the face, and crimson reds for the LEDs
@@bruhski136 Yeah that fight was so disappointing. He goes down like a bitch
@@ohdahngboi_2237 I hate how he looks in 2077 he looks way scarier with beady red eyes instead of whatever he’s got going on in 2077
I love the detail at 1:59 when Lucy is trying to hack Smasher, and you can briefly see a kind of cyber-outline of his which looks like some skeletal monster. Just goes to show how much of a monstrous killing machine he is, both on the inside and out.
He doesn't even see himself as human, which makes him all the more terrifying.
On the outside, he's a monster. On the inside, he's WORSE.
@@idoganor100 because he isn't one. he's all robot with a human brain
@@hemireborn6450 If that, what if he's one of those rouge AIs from the Deep Wep transplanted into a robot?
@@sonofjack6286 he said that he's 96% robot. the only human part of him is his brain
I love that detail when Adam is being hacked, how that is not a human skeleton, but a demon
The rare circumstance where the villian has plot armor because they've gotta fight some gonk named V in a year. And dear god did he put that plot armor to use
1:55 honestly this i think is his most badass scene, like how you can see his netrunner avatar is like a demon and how he so easily just rips away the attempts to hack him.
Absolute chills 🥶
it was a nice touch from trigger,as normally in the rpg and in the video game,his level of cybernetics makes him more vunerable to hacking,so having that skill is a requirement and necessity,but here it makes sense he'd be aware of that and have the necessary precautions and of coure his icon being so monstrous is a reflection of his personality and how much of a monster he knows people think of him as,and just how detached he is from his own humanity
@@Sketchfan i always thought that was the sickest scene as well. the demon thing being also represented as literally what's inside of him was a nice touch
I like this Smasher waaaaaay better than in-game. His voice in the show is both cooler, and his movements go hand-in-hand with how badass he's supposed to be
I hope he gets updated
@@Awpic
He better
The game ain’t a high bar to pass lol
At that point David couldn't use his full capabilities either.
@@Nempo13
Which *full capabilities* you said right here ya, Cory Myers? Is it the *Sandevistan implant* or maybe, it can be referring to the *Cyber-Skeleton* 💀 right...?
I like that despite seeing David gain a reputation for himself, upgrading his body, and becoming a hit in NC, Smasher destroyed all that and put him in his place.
It takes a lot to become a Night City Legend, and Smasher takes more than a lot.
Honestly as sad and amazingly well they did this series, what I remember most fondly is seeing Smasher showing up almost out of nowhere and going completely ballistic on the main cast like this.
I just have to point out, David never fell over the edge until death. Sure he was going on and off cyberpsychosis state, but even without immunosuppressants he still managed to pull his sanity in check. He was an edgerunner through and through.
What are you talking about. at the end David could barley even function. Dude could hardly move after he ran out of suppressants. Adam smasher even said so himself before he ripped the skeleton apart. That’s the only reason David did not put up a fight. Remember, the cyber skeleton can create a gravity waves that can smash an armored vehicle. If David was actually special he would have killed Adam smasher with his last gravity wave. I think once Lucy left alive David gave up because his only purpose here was to save her and he succeeded. Plus he was going to go psycho after this anyway. The only reason he lasted this long was because the vestiges of his mind went into over dive so he could get Lucy out of here.
@@zongetsuma7444I never said he was special. I said he remained an edgerunner, when everyone said he couldn't be one, up until his very end because he held on to his sanity.
David... ah yes, I kept his jacket in my 2nd Cyberpunk gameplay.
adam solos
@@zongetsuma7444 but he never actually fell into Cyberpsychosis
He’s not the kind of guy that has super powers, he’s the kind of guy that hits you like a 18 wheeler, and runs back over you when you get back up
That’s a pretty good comparison
Some have said his mother was a train
super advanced cybernetic implants and his whole body being modified isn't a super power?
@@thelitmango6333 He's not reliant on the tech. For all his 'insanity', he maintains a very truthful outlook that anyday he's going to die because either he gets cast aside, or his own luck finally runs out on him.
It makes sense too. David's demise wasn't because of Adam, it was because his own body and tech was failing him at the worst possible moment. Something Adam probably has seen thousands of times over his career. It wouldn't suprise me if some of his targets died on their own and he had to report as such to his superiors.
@@thelitmango6333 no, just a modification to his machinery, definitely not a super power
2:22 “you think you’re special cause you’re strapping” 🤣😂🤣
“Scrappy”

@@swell07_ good I’m glad. 🤟 especially when you can’t spell “work.”
"You think you're special because you're scrappy?"
Smasher just roasted so many anime protagonists with that line
It's true in david's case lol dude thought he was special till he crossed paths with smasher
Yeah but I can imagine this anime protagonist even without the power friendship even though I know you're joking but still
Or alternatively if it's v
@@ramon4184 well david was actually built different he had like an 8 in the humanity score he just wasnt high like v or adam well actually adam is a cyber psycho so really only v could handle what david did and actually in lore its better to just go full robot than do what david did
Although a massive tragedy, I love how this anime embraces realism. David is an extremely talented and a lovable guy but he has nowhere near the fighting experience of Adam. Adam knew the drawbacks of the Cyberskeleton and references to it twice in the anime as well. Adam was having fun while David's crew got annihilated. Lucy was correct the entire time - David will die if he donned the skeleton, and the circumstances made his crew lose their lives along with him as well. :(
He would have died regardless honestly
Yea the moment he took the skeleton he was already dead.
Buying his time with immune suppressors moving reaction of his body for a augment he cant handle. Doctor told him that was his last visit.
David was rare human but Adam is 1% of 1%.
He had very little chance to make it in a first place.
Without parents, young and alone, with body that is perfect for experiments makes him just the best target in this world for anyone with money and ambition.
There was very few options he could make
It's kool though. Eventually some college sounding girl or some ny accent Italian dude named V got revenge for us : )
@@soyborne.bornmadeandundone1342 V, the true main character. In my case I turned my character into the ultimate revolver wielding gunslinger. I didn’t need crazy implants to rip through head after head with my revolver. Oh I ran out of ammo, no problem I also have one that locks on, and look I have another tech version that shoots through walls. Cyberpunk may be a buggy piece of shit but in terms of story, gameplay, and the customizability to play however tf you want, it’s legendary.
@@user-ps9sp3wi2s If they had just laid low, I think they would’ve survived. Lucy shouldn’t have let him get so chromed up during the timeskip.
I really like that oh well at the end. Despite being fully chromed out, I could feel whatever bit of sanity and genuine emotion someone like him could've shown. Feels like he's a bit bummed out
I was talking about that with someone else, I imagine he's disappointed to have to kill David. Kind of like Batman/Joker. David could've been a new rival and a second match with a newly kitted out corpo construct would've felt like a new DLC or expansion to Adam's killing game.
Makes me wanna watch this again. I loved almost the whole thing, but Smasher at the end was definitely the highlight. Such cold brutality
Adam Smasher: 1.5 tons and 11ft of armored and weaponized hatred backed by Arasaka"s billions. Add on 70 plus years of cybernetic experience in warfare and his obsession with having the best possible defenses against quick-hacking and this kind of massacre of the protagonists is what you get. I'd love to see more of this Smasher in the future over the abysmal joke in 2077.
Alot like Darth Vader if you ask me.
He’s a bad bad man.
Hoping he's updated at some point to be a lot harder. Imagine a level where Adam Smasher chases you through the Arasaka building, and you have to hide and rely on sneak attacks against him or something.
@@MandatoryFruit on paper thats great but in practice that would be utterly abysmal and would kill the pacing for everyone who isnt playing a specific build. if there was several ways of going about it then that would be awesome and allow for actual variety
of course thats only looking at it from a final boss level perspective. if the segment at the beginning of the game where v and jackie almost run into smasher (correct me on this im speaking from memory) was tweaked a little and made to be something more than a glorified cutscene then a stealth section where you have no equipment or skills and have to attempt to not get smashed by adam himself would be a lot more engaging
@@originaljoke4502 It's just an idea. I don't really care what they do. I just want Adam Smasher to be harder.
Heroes: We have the power of friendship on our side.
Adam Smasher: I've built a wall a mile high and ten miles long with the skulls of every person who said that to me.
Not gonna lie that's pretty badass
It's a very friendly wall!
"I'll add yours next!"
That is honestly a cold ass line
SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE
Adam's face as seen by Lucy touched a part of my psyche I didn't know I had
I love that like “All the same meat to me”
To Adam Smasher, target or not they all die the same
I love how they set David up to be this really special guy who can handle all these implants and modifications, when in reality Adam seems to be the only one capable of going full chrome and remaining somewhat sane. Would love to have more backstory on him in a sequel or something.
Hilariously David's way is the stupid way because it FAR more damaging to you mind and humanity to constantly be chopping yourself up, in comparison going Full-Cyborg not only is less destructive on the psyche...but you actually get a discount when taking in upgrades (making them far less damaging to your Humanity Score).
...also your wrong about Adam, there is actually a small, usually pretty chill, community of Full-Body Cyborgs in Night City (unless they got smart and left after the nuke). He also doesn't even have the most destructive (both mentally and combatively) Cyborg suite: The Dragoon.
Well, Adam is "Functioning Cyberpsycho" as described by the creator of Cyberpunk
Smasher can handle the chrome because he's already a standard issue pyscho.
Adams trick is that he was already a psychopath
Adam isn’t in danger of going Cyberpsycho cause he never had any humanity to lose.
1:55 legit my favorite moment, i just love the idea that adam smasher is now so far gone, so inhuman, that even his look changed in the virtual world. It's as if his soul itself became a full on monster that only causes suffering around him.
The man (or devil) doesn't even flinch when he is getting hacked, and simply pulls the virus out of him by hand!
@@hammurabii.3173 Yeah i have to admit those moment might have also needed more screen time, but i believe it wouldn't have necessary worked in this story since it would have diverged the focus on another form of evil. Here i think the idea was to mostly focus on how the city itself can ruin someones life just because you don't have enough money to feed it.
But yeah, i would be glad if they made another show focusing on "the net" and the "ai vs human" conflict. It could offer a lot of possibilities
Smasher was never far gone mentally beaucse he was always a demonic phsyco.
You cant get psychosis
If you dont count youself as human
That wasn't him. Smasher always has a couple 'Saka spiders riding shotgun, actively countering net attacks against him. Smasher himself is actually incredibly vulnerable to getting hacked.
@@random90909494085038 it's not like he ripped the quickhack out litteraly or anything
You Know You Went Out Like A Boss When Even Adam Smasher Acknowledges You Before Blowing Your Head Apart….
I come back here every now and then, just to see the sheer power of smasher
"We're having a moment!"
"You were. You were having a moment."
“Now you’re just part of the pavement.”
@@Awpic bruhhh why😭😭
Gotta love the absolute flex Adam throws by saying the Sandevistan is a “rudimentary implant”.
That was crazy, it’s practically nothing to him.
NGL, in the game they should add a new star, in the next update, for the cop pursuits where they all flee and just send in Adam Smasher ; and of course in said update he’s buffed to hell and treated as a boss battle- if you happen to beat him he does a ‘tactical retreat’ of some kind (so that he doesn’t outright die, keeping the story mode intact), and then all of the stars/wanted level get reset.
Of course this should also buff the regular cops and whoever so it doesn’t become an easy farm for loot. But still. A nifty idea, I think, to give him some more presence.
@@ilovemonkeyos Smasher is a dog for Arasaka, not MaxTac. It wouldn't make sense for him to be there.
Well, they could always add Arasaka and MiliTech into the game their own “police force” of sorts; give them their own system to be lore-accurate.
Idk. Feels like Smasher should have *something* in-game.
@@ilovemonkeyos I agree that Smasher should've had more involvement in the game, I definitely think his fight should be reworked entirely. Something like him not using his enhancements all that much for the first 30% of his health or so, then starting to use his implants. I feel like he should respond with say, a Sandevistan if you use one so that you match speeds with him.
I genuinely hate that we only get snippets of Adam. His VA gives it his all and I need more of him that isnt a pathetic boss fight in the game.
Lucy, who has been secretly trained by arasaka to become a top tier netrunner since childhood: *hacks Adam Smasher
Adam Smasher: nope.
V, a merc: *hacks Adam Smasher
Adam Smasher: *Explodes
Well I guess V is just built different
Dam Silverhand
i mean at that point V has one god tier AI onside who probably switched Smashers countermeasures off, Adam might have a suite to beat Lucy but Alt just laughs in AI
lore-wise, v is basically a terminator by the time he reaches smasher, so yeah he really is built different
@@sodadrink8363 exactly V is a god of cyberpunk lol
To be fair it's a dick move in games whenever you reach the final boss just for them to tell you that your playstyle can't be used.
Imagine if we reached Smasher and they tell you that you can't use melee attacks against him. My build would of been ruined.
we need an anime dedicated to Smasher. He fuckin deserves it because he hasn't gotten enough screen time.
His character just truly is badass. He's not evil cause he was wronged or hurt in some way, he's evil because he *likes* being evil. He just loves killing things. His design and voice are also just really badass and I can't get enough of it
God, it's almost been a year since the series came out and every time I hear *that* song I break all over again. Still, I wish I could forget everything about it just so I could experience it for the first time again.
I thought David was unstoppable once he installed the Cyberskeleton. But as soon as I saw that those corpos called in Adam Smasher, I knew he wasn’t going to make it.
it was especially terrifying that prototype was planned to be a new upgrade...and he still trashed it like it was nothing
@@Sketchfan it was absolutely nuts, he knew it was nothing against him.
@@Awpic Adam is the type who has so much actual combat experience that he can just glance at the blueprints / techs and immediately knows how to counter it. Gotta say, Arasaka knows how to pick Chief of Security.
@@LordSerion I wouldn't say he's that level of tech smart, but I get you otherwise.
@@GZilla311
Indeed ya, GZilla311...😎
1:28 This little punch is one of my favorite moments. Adam moved his fist like 10 inches, punched Falco hard enough to knock his arm off, and didn't even LOOK at him, much less stop moving. Like swatting a fly.
Absolute menace.
His fist moved like a piston too
@@Scazoid
So then, his fist 👊 *moved like a friggin' piston* huh? That's gonna hurt so much for Falco getting punched-up by the one Adam Smasher 💀🤖 like that...
On the upside, Falco is one of only a handful of people to fight Adam Smasher and live.
@@MachineMan-mj4gj
And please don't forget the *one Morgan Blackhand* right...👍
That MF is the scariest thing I’ve seen after Nemesis from RE3 and I havn’t been scared of Nemesis for about 20 years.
"You think you're special because you're scrappy?"
A simple Kiroshi scan would've told David that Adam Smasher does +120% damage to plot armor.
Adam Smasher isn't an ordinary villain that doesn't shit talk to you about your capabilities. He's basically telling you are nothing but inferior right in your goddamn face. That's like Gordon Ramsay brutally criticizing you for making a bad dish.
and for this it is enough just to tell the truth 🗿
He’s a fucking mean one
an expert knows the quality of others work, mans was subpar
Gordon Ramsey but a threat to humanity
*looks at the remains of rebecca* ITS RAAAW!
I’m glad Adam was given his proper due.
All the main cast is fighting for their lives, and Smasher is just treating the battle like it’s another day at the office.
He was in no rush to end their lives at all, he’s like “finally something to do”
@@Awpic
Indeed, Awpic: It feels like how Darth Vader's *slaughering-up some poor Rebel soldiers who's been delivering the Death Star plan to Princess Leia Organa for keeping it safe* at the end of "Rogue One" movie right...💀
Not even that, I fear.
To Adam this must've been like going to the market to grab milk. At best, he was mildly amused.
My favorite line from this show is "DO YOU THINK YOU'RE SPECIAL CUZ YOU'RE SCRAPPY?... DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH"
Bro said “power of friendship? Nah id win.”
Without a doubt the coolest part of the entire anime. Just an absolute beast.
Absolutely. I hope there will be more of him if this ever returns with more stories of Night City.
@@Awpic Have multiple series where the MC and their crew all meet their demise via Adam Smasher. Would be amazing and help build up what defeating him in the game means.
@@Scantor I love that actually cuz to me before the anime, the sense of defeating smasher was the revenge for Johnny. Cuz we all know what Adam did to Johnny. Now we all wanna kill him cuz of becca lol.
yup
