it just seems like HAL keeps bringing this stupid lava frog back in timed scenarios because they want us to suffer (Why is he in the Clash games again? Why not the actually cool bosses like Paintra or Coily Rattler?) Regarding scripted attack patterns, I am most curious about how True Void Termina's attack script works. I can't imagine that it's random, so does the script deviate based on the eyes the player has destroyed? Certain bosses such as HR-D3 and a few Forgotten Land bosses have somewhat linear attack scripts, but they also seem to have minor deviations to attacks based on hp left (and I don't just mean different phases - there seems to be mini-phases) - I'm somewhat curious about how their attack scripts work as well.
HAL loves trolling its playerbase when it comes to that stupid frog. And yeah, True Void Termina's scripted phases is something I thought about but never looked into. It is something I want to take a look at in the future. As well as the other bosses you mentioned.
You've probably forgotten this comment by now, but recently I was a bit bored, so I decided to investigate Goriath's (specifically phase 2) attack pattern. And by that, I mean scouring the internet for footage of people fighting Goriath because my old computer broke and I forgot to port my Dolphin savefiles, and I wasn't feeling like booting up my Switch to replay the Goriath fight. (Note: I will only be talking about regular Goriath - I'm too lazy to research into his EX's counerpart's attack pattern as well) Firstly, Goriath's attack pattern seems to be completely unchanged in Deluxe. (thankfully, otherwise there would be more to analyze...) Secondly, he can break the floor after any attack when he reaches certain HP thresholds. However, this does not seem to affect the order of attacks he does. Thirdly, I have noticed that there are two different attack patterns Goriath can use in Phase 2. The first and more common attack pattern is (attack names are conjectural): 1. Kamehameha 2. Ground Pound 3. Bound Rocket 4. Punch 5. Icicle Drop 6. Snowballs 7. Ground Pound 8. Kamehameha [by this point everyone has either killed or been killed by Goriath] And this is the second (and rarer attack pattern: 1. Kamehameha 2. Bound Rocket 3. Ground Pound 4. Punch 5. Icicle Drop [by this point everyone has killed Goriath] I've noticed that the second attack pattern seems to only appear when the player has died before or during multiplayer, which suggests that Goriath's attack pattern is determined by his max HP. Lastly, you might be curious: how similar is this to Buff Dedede's attack pattern, since that is also another boss which breaks the ground after certain HP thresholds? The answer is that they are quite different, actually. Unlike Goriath whose attack pattern is not affected by the ground break, Buff Dedede's switches to a different attack pattern every time the ground breaks. (Thanks to WiKirby for the info on Buff Dedede's attack pattern btw) And that's the vague gist of Goriath's attack pattern! There are still other Kirby bosses with curious attack patterns, but I'm not feeling like doing another research on them atm.
Speedrunners “love” him
