The General is known far-and-wide as The Hardest Fighting Game Boss to date for a reason. This dude has a fireball as big as himself, both a normal one AND a triple one that goes in 3 directions which blocks you from jumping; Which btw, his fireballs also ABSORB projectiles. A slide-kick that hits 3 times and is safe on block. Normals have insane priority with almost no delay whatsoever. And a teleport that's almost instantaneous with no recovery; One that he often follows up with a grab immediately afterwards. There is absolutely no screwing around with The General.
It's not hardest but broken. From criminal developer who didn't know how to make fighting game or porposely make it so to steal your money. If such developer or any supporting console/game store did that today. They would get sue and such game wouldn't be remembered as legendary game like this.
@@arik2216 get sued for making the final boss broken? maybe give a refund because people complain about it on twitter but sued, gimmie a break talk about entitled
I love that this boss has no qualms about telling you that he's bullshit. Won't even attempt to camouflage it by trying to play fair, he just goes in with Dr. Doom technology off the first second.
General is so ridiculous that Taito actually apologized for how busted he is, and then planned on making him WAY less unfair in the sequel... which was unreleased.
The General is legit the hardest boss I’ve ever fought in my life and I’ve played a LOT of fighting games. Dude is so completely busted it’s ridiculous. Almost Everything he has is safe, does lots of damage, and neutralizes your offense. I can't even argue against his claim of being "the perfect soldier", dude is OD lol.
@@augustgreig9420 Neo Geegus, Zeus, or Neo Dio? Geegus was super easy for me, Zeus was tough but manageable, but Neo Dio was definitely pretty hard in World Heroes 2, definitely nowhere close to as bad as The General tho.
@@orlanzo2621 I was talking about World Heroes 1. Don't recall his name, I think he was the shape shifter, but there may have been one after him. It was probably because I was so young and only got to play when we went to Wal-Mart. Also, I mained Rasputin, and I don't know if he was low tier I maybe just had a bad matchup against the boss.
Lmao that throw is so painful. Literally picks you up with one hand, look at you to see if you got any money on you then slams you on the floor like you some gas station ice that needs to crushed.
"Let's make a boss that have a TOD" "You mean like a crazy flashy combo that will awe all of the gamers and inspire them to improve into a higher level ?" "Well ... not really ... I was thinking about a slide ..."
@@goldenchild3686 nah, not even close. Geese in fatal fury 1 is easy to exploit the ai. Just keep using burn knuckle when he is just about to stand up and most of the time geese will keep getting hit and btw the way to know when he is about to do a counter move, he will stand still no doing anything.
This man's slide is fast enough to link into, far enough to punish stuff from midscreen, safe on block, gives oki on hit, and has low profile. Putting all of that together, it's safe to say that Justin just got outplayed 🙃
There's a way to beat the General. He watches his opponent's attack then beats them, try using a pattern against him. I've Watched and learned this in Hi Score Girl Season 2!
If M. Bison was a SNK boss. Take out the infinite unpunishable slide, and the clone moves and this would legit be a fun character to use. I love his throw animations .
I know the makoto crew (aka the Guilty Gear pros that dominated the Guilty Gear Xrd comp scene) has a video of them beating General. They struggled with it about as much as Justin did.
I was laughing my ass off for the first 10 minutes but then started feeling defeated myself just from watching all the loses. You couldn't imagine how excited I was FOR YOU when you finally got that win! lol!
JWongs reactions are absolutely hilarious. Just watching him cycle through options and having them all fail one after another is priceless. This boss breaks just about every rule.
Watching this was equally hilarious and frustrating, but I loved every minute of it. You are a true champion. I would have literally broken down and cried after 40 losses. Hahaha. I was jumping up and all hyped at the end!
Pure respect in both your skill and determination in the face of overwhelming difficulties! You have slowly won me over from always rooting against you to now enjoying watching you adapting to win against skilled players. GG man GG.
lool great video. So, same suggestion as before, Parace L'sia from Arcana Heart 3 Love Max. She's Trial 10 in trial mode or the final boss of Score Attack. I think Trial Mode is harder. Even as someone who competes in that game, it's like...luck basically. There's one way I know of to cheese it with a certain character/arcana combo but I don't think it's something you'll find on accident and you're locked out of changing characters in trial mode
It’s quite something indeed. That’s longer than my lifespan! Funny enough, because he’s exploitable, I didn’t consider this the hardest on my boss list but was still worth mentioning.
No! The hardest boss and strongest fighting game character (you can fight as him with an in-game cheat [would be good for views]) is Ivan Ooze from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers The Fighting Edition. Hard mode only ;).
That slide's an interesting move. It's a knockdown on hit but on block it can keep hitting you for at least three times. Ie, the extra hits are pretty much only there to punish you if you think that, just maybe, you can punish the slide.
Here's a thought.. most people use wulong to beat him.. just dp move.. you're not trying to hit him with the dp move.. but as soon as you land from the dp move, you do a low sweep.. 9 times out of 10, general will just stand there as you miss and will still be standing as you go for the low sweep..
There's a strict AI flaw with every character. But WuLong and Gekkou have the easiest time exploiting him. That being said, even Parace L'Sia can be exploited. And considering the lack of comeback mechanics and choices you have in Kaiser Knuckle makes it harder than Parace. But she is a close 2nd I think or End of Deathbringer and maybe Chizuru from Aquapazza
LMFAO rarely in my life have I laughed as hard as your very first match against this guy... first time I ever hear about this game and this had me in stitches. Your channel is pure gold!
2 minutes in and Justin getting tilted, cause this boss literally doesn't let him make a move. I look at the video and it's 15 minutes. We in it boys, this is gonna be a good video 🤣👍
I had a lot of fun with the video xD was nice that you quickly figured out how to beat him. Well, from what I understand the boss was programmed like this without permission, I think later at Atlus they scolded the programmers for do that xDD
I remember seeing this in the show Hi-Score Girl I thought it was played up for the show but I never thought it was actually this difficult until I researched the boss myself.
Ok now that I take a look at him yeah he might be the hardest...boss I've ever seen just because he's totally relentless no mercy and covers all your options.. I can see what you mean! the fact you actually beat this boss is an incredible testament to your persistence and skill!
"But for the General it was Tuesday.."
Well said..

Igniz has a workaround. Run fast and jump over him, he'll dp which will whiff if you time your cross-up right. Then dm or do your best combo.
How many special moves would you like general?
General: YES
To be fair, he doesn't really have a lot of specials, but he more than makes up for that since pretty much his entire moveset is safe on block.

Not even Akuma in Super Turbo could hold a candle to this guy…
