lets keep in mind that sam was having an existencial crisys during the figth i kinda think thats why raiden beathim... and the fact that sam is 97% human 3%cyborg ande raiden 70 %cyborg 30% human.

Expectation: The mod turns the boss battle into a silly DDR minigame. Reality: It turns the battle into a sick anime swordfight between 2 equally-OP rivals. I have been bamboozled.
Imagine being a cattle farmer from Colorado, driving to and from work on the same road, everyday, and out of nowhere, you end up getting your f-150 cleaved in half by a stray sword slash from an epic sword duel between a cyborg ninja, and an average brazilian male.
this is what boss fights should look be like, instead of being bullet sponges that are made of semi trucks, the AI should be more aggressive longer attack strings and no room to punish I feel like that would be more rewarding for a players challenge
@jonahbrown5669 @Siretsk Guys, I'm pretty sure OP is talking about having fights force you to _make_ your openings by counterattacking or parrying. You know, as opposed to stepping back and waiting to swing, which seems to be where your minds are heading, and is the opposite of what you should be doing in this kind of game.
I like the tanky boss fights honestly... but Sam's definitely should be like this as a blatant exception. He's literally *the enemy player.* Your antithesis. He should fight as aggressively as you, and you should make your own openings of attack.
@@егорворонов-э1ц I am brazilian, bro. We are crazy ass but not that crazy. "He's canonically faster than Raiden" Where did you get that? Because that doesn't even make sense
I honestly like it. First phase punishes you for being too defensive. Sam parry's, dodges, and attacks way more requently. You have to play more agressive and faster if you want to be able to make an opening and land hits. 2nd phases punishes you for being too aggressive. Sam's grabs are unblockable and launch fast, punishing you for running towards him sword flailing, and you have to rely on timing your dodge effectively. That's why the person in the video kept getting grabbed and countered. He also has a barely telgraphed yellow indicator counter that punishes you for button mashing. Phase 3 takes elements from both phases, requiring you to be both. I dont think this mod can be made any more better
Yeah man he whooped my ass HARD first times, it's so funny him being harder without a sword than with. But when you get used to it it's easy, even if you don't abuse dodges or jumping.
The animations look sick, and I can't state enough how much I like this approach to making the fight harder. No more spamming quick attacks, this is a real fight, and it gives you all the challenge and room to learn that a great boss fight gives you.
HOLY SHIT that was the best example of this fight ive ever seen. JUST 6 MINUTES OF STRAIGHT UP CANCELLING SHIT AND CLASHING SWORDS AT HIGH SPEEDS. so cool man great gameplay.
Sam was a goddamn teacher to me in this game, he was my first NoHit and taught me how to parry, i'm gonna replay again just so i can have a fight that he actually tries
@@Yordagain drive.google.com/drive/folders/1z3H1Rpw7Z99yieY1RRDsXDj_bFoBP1kg?usp=sharing uh ive never tried this before, so lmk if there are any issues also if you want to suffer like i did then, put the difficulty to very hard or revengeance with no sword upgrades -_-
@@Yordagain also btw I just checked the mod, all you have to do is just press the little drop down arrow on the harder boss file (on the right) and you will be able to download it. Im not sure why he has it in old files, but thats how I orginally got the mod.

I love how dynamic this fight is now. Like its such a small detail that the fight can go on the road but the fact you go across the map way more alone makes me feel this fight is way more epic than the original version. The og fight its sticks in one place just because you absolutely destroy him.

I feel like the perfect gimmick for Jetstream sam's boss fight would be to make the player and the boss switch roles, Jetstream sam would deal much less damage and would easily get thrown away by attacks but would move extremely fast and basicaly block everything just like the player, while the player would do much more damage and barely even flinch at an attack just like a boss, this would reinforce what Jetstream is supposed to be, a guy with no augmentations who does things purely by skill
i honestly might play through this work of art again whilst being heavily modded, i found the majority of the bosses way too easy ( i accidentally went through 85% of the game without healing because im blind lol) yet it was still incredibly fun which is nice for a change (i still want my 4k ultra hd remaster of this game)
