Falkner in main Pokémon games: 🤡
Falkner in Pokémon Stadium: 👹
Who gave the already GOATed Johto Gym Leader access to a Legendary?!
I'd have probably chosen Brock in Yellow version but you've been smarter than me 😂
I'll explain Falkner's team in Round 2, All of his pokemon except Gligar have Mud-Slap, Also his Pidgeot, Skarmory and Zapdos have Sky Attack.
Zapdos uses a combination of Mud-Slap + Bright Powder to mess up Rock Types trying to hit it with Rock Slide which it's accuracy is 90%
Skarmory has a Quick Claw, meaning it can unexpectedly strike first and even mess up your pokemon with Mud-Slap.
Charizard holds a Scope Lens, increasing its critical hit chance, a fun fact it has 2 Ground moves, Earthquake and Mud-Slap.
The rest isn't as good, Pidgeot holds a PRZCureBerry, Dodrio holds a Miracle Berry and Gligar holds a Focus Band
Haze can deal with the Accuracy drops, Aerodactyl seems a good choice against Falkner if it has Hidden Power Rock (Ancient Power PP's may be short but with 3 PP ups it has 8 PP, the 10% secondary effect chance helps in any situation), however it can't deal with Zapdos since it will take serious damage from a single Thunderbolt due to its flying type, you can use your own Zapdos that has Thunder Wave, Hidden Power Ice and Whirlwind to cripple it.
Now why i see why to use awift more often
Looks impossible on Switch especially when stuck with rental with awful movesets IV and EV
The announcer: “It seems to be impervious to that attack”
The Pokemon: *loses a slither of health*
The Game: “it’s super effective!”
In fairness, Mud-Slap is a weak attack, so its only real purpose is to lower the target's accuracy.
It's super effective to the player's mental health 😂
Throwing out a Zapdos as a the first gym leader of your region is crazy asf
In fairness, this is R2 Falkner.
What if you wanted to go to heaven
But god said “accuracy fell”
You forgot about the Piranha Plant boss in Mario Party DS. When I was younger, I could not get past that boss, and despite being the hardest boss in the game, he is the FIRST boss!
Me too.
I always stuck in that boss level because i can't press the A button so fast so it true that piranha plant is the hard one in Mario party DS.
I even ask my brother to help me to mask the A button
Me too but tbf I always sucked at mashing buttons minigames so I just assumed it was my skill issue
Nah, it requires better mashing than basically anything else in the game, ALL the other bosses are so much easier
I almost could not beat that boss until I used a technique that helped me beat it (btw I used the practice mode to my advantage) I set my DS on a flat surface and mashed the buttons as hard as I can. I succeeded!
Oh god that back memories so hard. I still have the game. I remember finally beating that thing it was the best moment for me as a child
And this is one of the many reasons Accuracy/evasion strats are banned or frowned upon.
There are enough moves that bypass accuracy checks at this point
@@dylancross1039 There’s actually a lot less than you’d think. If we aren’t counting signature moves like Flower Trick or moves that need specific conditions like Blizzard then there’s only around 13 attacking moves that can’t miss. A lot of these moves are on the weaker side too like Shock Wave so they’re not always worth using.
@@dylancross1039
Those moves are bad, so by allowing accuracy drop/evasion raise moves you'd only be making the game worse.
In games with multiple difficulties, the first boss on the hardest difficulty is not a tutorial boss.
Your smart
Even if you do decide to allow it, there is a difference between "First time player decided to play on the hardest difficulty" and "In order to access this difficulty, you must beat the game first". Round 2 Falkner is not a Tutorial Boss.
And sometimes the first boss isn't always the easiest boss.
At least when it's a locked difficulty that you get access to by beating the game on Hard. That solodifies that it's not going to be your first boss encounter in that game.
This is _especially_ true for Wario Land 4, because to unlock Super Hard, you have to complete the game on Hard; and well, if you've already beaten the game before, you don't need a tutorial. ❤
Plum in 15 seconds is only in superhard difficulty. Which means you have to have finushed the games 2 times already onze in normal, one in hard.
So the boss can barely be called a tutorial boss at that point.
What is your grammer
@@maznAlkadmGrammar*
It's spelling, not grammar.
@@mileenaliciouss sorry I'm arabic and I learned english from boredom in the lockdown of 2020
If something can go wrong for the player in Stadium2, it will go wrong. The RNG is always against the player
Dont forget the game laughting at ur face. Fissure hitting still is something else
@@fandenovelas777 And what can feel even more infuriating is knowing that 1-hit KO attacks used to only work when the user's current speed is higher than the target's current speed. But as of the 2nd generation, they can hit, regardless of speed, but not if the target's level is higher than that of the user.
The first boss in Pokemon Stadium 2 never made me this fucking furious!
Harder than modern Pokemon superbosses
@@Gojira453
Except it's cheap, bullshit difficulty.
U will hate a lot Erika rematch, adn the 5th gym, both were so evil
I totally agree, man! They're even harder than the first boss! I wish Game Freak just give us a mainline pokemon game that is not too easy!
@@insertmemehere0diamond and pearl remakes elite 4.
Why does Samurai Goroh think he’s playing a TouHou game💀💀
I was wondering the exact same thing.
Trust me, the tutorial boss in F-ZERO GX is the time limit to get all of the capsules
That was last mission for me to beat on hard mode to unlock everyone. Chapter 7 is very hard, but you can consistently kill Shadow at beginning to make it much easier
@@whichDude I focus more on winning the race
Not really a boss, but I feel like the Yoshis in Mario Strikers: Battle League's tutorial deserve an honorable mention. Some tutorials there were so difficult that Nintendo actually made them easier in an update 😂
💀
Just like Smash Ultimate character battles.
The "New challengers" were incredibly strong so that they didn't lasted more than a week after release and they nerfed them all, if I had to guess they locked them to max difficulty at first and then just lowered them to half or weaker.
Pokémon stadium.....mud slap/accuracy lowering moves spam were so unpredictably unfair, i feel your pain how frustrating and annoying that is.
Just from that gameplay I feel emotional, physical and mental pain
If you don't have Faint Attack or something that's immune to Mud-Slap, you're in for a long day. And sadly, Zapdos's presence makes the predicament even worse, since unless you have a Gligar, it'll send your Flying-types to their grave very quickly.
They really embody the annoyance of birds. That’s why Tsubame Gaeshi exists
Falkner may as well be the ground gym leader, as he sure does love mudslap
You think that’s bad? Try fighting Aztec Falcon without grinding.
Aztec is ez bud
@@chris1229sonic if you grinded, that is.
@@alvaroperez2349 nah sorry but skill issue tbh
@@chris1229sonic I managed to beat him by hugging the wall, *and he has a counter for it.*
@@alvaroperez2349 okey cool
DKC tropical freeze shouldn't be in the list, in a normal playthrough its much easier than every other boss of the list
Especially when you're using Funky Kong
Playing the original was the first time I had ever really raged at a game
Well, it's still a lot harder than your typical 3-hit Mario boss (which definitely shouldn't be the difficulty standard, but here we are)
Plus, it seems to be ranked on how hard it gets on a higher difficulty, and because Tropical Freeze has a hard mode it makes it a lot more challenging.
You'd be amazed by how significant the difficulty becomes when playing in Hard Mode. Take damage even once, and you have to redo the entire boss battle from the very beginning, and those very bosses take 3x more hits to defeat than your typical Super Mario series boss.
@@timothypitcher7996 thats just the first 3 dkc games
Falkner spamming Mud Slap is so damn annoying. I hate facing evasion strategies.
Hence why I have a few no miss moves on at least 2 pokemon in my team
And that's just the beginning
An honorable mention is Brock in the Kanto games if you picked Charmander(Red, Blue/Green, Fire Red, Leaf Green) since your only options for super effective moves are the Nidos(FrLg) and Mankey(also FrLg), this makes RB Brock brutal because Karate Chop is Normal in Generation 1, meaning the only effective ways to take on Brock is with Burn or Poison stalling with Charmander, the Nidos, or the Weedle line or using an overleveled mon, it only gets more difficult if you didn’t catch Mankey or a Nido in FrLg as Onix now has Rock Tomb, luckily they gave Mankey Low kick in Yellow, but in Red and Blue/Green, you have no way of dealing super effective damage against Brock
In Red and Blue you can just use Butterfree.
Rock moves? Nope, Brock only has Tackle as a damaging move, Tackle...
Anything with Growl is basically unlikable (like Charmander)
Anything learns a STAB special move is gonna out damage his Pokémon (like Charmander)
His Onix is an absolute joke btw, the only Pokémon I can think of that can't defeat his Onix, is a Magikarp.
@@TunaBear64 in red and blue, the only mon with neutral damage is indeed butterfree’s Confusion against brock, the only problem with caterpie, it’s a 5% encounter rate in red
In FR/LG Charmander learns Metal Claw early on, which is Super Effective against Onix. Even so, Onix has really high defense but its other stats are pathetic, so you can just as well spam STAB Ember and it will still do some damage and occasionally waste Brocks turn, healing off burn. Also Brocks moveset is just awful in Red and Blue.
But in Pokémon Yellow it's a different story. Pikachu can legit do nothing to it, but lower its stats, since quick attack only deals like 1 damage and it learns it's next best move Slam at level 20. So you have to use another Pokémon for Brock. Mankey can be caught at Lv. 5 and learns Low kick at Lv. 9. Both Nidoran learn Double Kick at Lv. 12.
Butterfree learns Confusion as soon as it evolved at Lv. 10. These 4 are basically your only consistent options, but a new player would still have to figure this out (you'd likely ditch Butterfree and Mankey at some point, since they have a tough time in the late game). Also Onix now knows Bind, which in Gen. 1 is just unfair. Plus you cannot purchase Potions before Brock.
yknow, if you're an idiot who willingly picks the worst starter in the series. (there i said it.)
If I recall, Koopa in Mario Tennis Aces was so annoying that he was nerfed in an update. Sure he isn't a boss, but he felt like one
Oh, the whole game is a nightmare. I stopped playing cause I couldn’t beat mirage mansion.
I remember in an update there was an option where if you lost several times, they'd allowed you to use your special attack at any time, with no refill. This was the ONLY way I was able to beat the story mode.
Since the Metal Gear Solid triology was released for Switch, lemme mention that MGS 2 has an absolutely cracked prologue boss. If you fight Olga Gurlukovich at European Extreme difficulty your Life bar doesn't matter anymore: A single hit will kill you, and she keeps firing at you from cover. Additionally Olga will trigger obstructions as the battle progresses and on the lower difficulties you can disarm them, but not on the highest difficulty, meaning you have to take blind shots. And it gets even crazier if you are aiming for the Big Boss rank, because if you die you have to reload your last save, but the rank only permits 8 saves in total, meaning you probably shouldn't save in the entire tanker prologue at all. So if you make a single mistake in this battle you have to restart the entire game.
7:53 That's probably the most hardcore first boss music ever!😆🎸
dude that race against samurai goroh took me countless tries. it took me forever to realise that he's basically programmed to boost past you if you go near him and it's only towards the end when you can really make a mad dash past him
Basically every AI boss character in Story mode. Only one not cheating was Blood Falcon since he actually doesn't have infinite health, and is actually limited to how many boost he can spam
Bruh the fact that Goroh just rubber bands in front of you several times had me 💀. Got to love racing ai, i know mk64s ai if it's far enough off screen it ignores items and some knock back
It only cheats in story mode. Grand Prix races are honest, and the most of the AI is extremely good and aggressive. Aggressive might be some are blood thirsty or some might just boost to near suicide to stay in the lead.
The fzero gx one in particular is nearly impossible to
The story mode missions only get harder from there
To be fair that IS round 2 for Pokemon Stadium 2, aka you versus RNG and already cracked Pokemon.
Not really a tutorial boss since you'd have to face everyone and complete the game once to get to it.
F-Zero GX literally said “Okay, you collected all the capsules on a simple oval course. Now you should be able to face your rival, who has super rubber band AI, on a one-shot winding course with boulders dropping down. Right?”
FUN FACT: Pokémon Stadium 2 has fixed outcomes.
What do you mean by that?
@@thedaedricdragon921
The game already knows what will happen in that turn and acts accordingly. It already knows you will switch out, what move you will use, etc.
@@Super_Top_Secret_Area oh so it basically reads you 100% of the time? That’s fair
I like how the last video was about the easiest final bosses in Nintendo history lol
We love to see continuation 🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@crabbycakey fr bro 🔥🔥🔥🔥
These bosses are intense.
could of mentioned brock from pokemon yellow. only 2 actual ways to beat him and that is either get a nidoran and evolve it to nidorino and get double kick or evolve a caterpie to butterfree and get confusion.
There are wild Lv. 5 Mankey at the same route where Rival 1a is located. It learns Low Kick at Lv. 9
Isn't he way worse in red/blue?
@@JoelHernandez-tz3vk no because pokemon yellow you dont get a choice of starter, stuck with pikachu who can do literally nothing to geodude and onyx
@skygazer419 I was going to mention specifically how screwed you are if you pick Charmander. However, Charmander can at least DAMAGE Brock's Pokémon with ember and take advantage of their low sp Def that way. Pikachu has no such luxury. Thus likely forcing you into getting a Mankey for the purpose of defeating him.
@@JoelHernandez-tz3vk yup though personally i tihnk yellow has different spawns because i dont remember ever seeing a mankey anywhere early game
So I feel like this needs to be said THIS falkner in Pokémon stadium 2 isn’t the first boss this is round 2 falkner wich isn’t reachable until you’ve basically beaten the game on easy mode
Another fitting pick would be Travis and Trish in the first chapter of Triangle Strategy. If you try to play it on hard difficulty on NG+, the battle was so ridiculously hard that lowering its difficulty remains the only gameplay related change Square Enix made between updates.
How Pokemon Stadium 2 just casually gives the first gym leader a legendary lol
This is round 2 tho
This is only the case in round 2, but even in round 1, Falkner uses the Mud-Slap strategy to irritate players.
This is why in Pokemon I usually focus on those with high speed and heavy hits to take down the opponent as fast as I can before they even get a chace to lower accuracy or raise evasion
That Wario boss looks like it's out of the Yu-Gi-Oh! manga
I’m pretty sure the developer intended boss order for Metroid 1 is
Fake Kraid
Ridley
Going back to the statue and seeing that kraids isn’t active
Then finding real Kraid
Kraid has the most defence and damage out of all of the bosses in game I find it very unlikely that he’s supposed to be the tutorial boss.
7:01 My Favorite.
Nintendo unity: this boss is brutal
Also Nintendo unity: *Plays on the hardest difficulty possible*
Watching you refuse to switch on a resisted sky attack was PAINFUL
Bruh… funny how every other boss fight in Kid Icarus OMaM takes significantly longer than the final boss
I'll miss Kid Icarus Uprising...
Dark Alpha Splinter in Metroid Prime 2 is insanely hard for a first boss. You have to fight a few regular splinters, then Alpha's first phase, and then his Dark Phase all with 0 E-Tanks; 5 missiles and no way to recharge. He also hits like a truck and will kill you in like 4-5 hits. His pattern is pretty simple but it's insanely easy to fuck up and die if you're new to the series
This great nostalgic game from 80 one this game have it
Ho my god, I didn't think anyone would talk about Kid Icarus Uprising ever again! That game was, like, top 3 of the best 3ds games, with Hyrule Warriors and Pokémon Ultra Sun & Moon.
3:08 I noticed that every time the leader is overtaken the new leader's portrait on the left side of the screen does this goofy head bob, like "Ahh, I beat you!"
Something else worth mentioning is in Paper Mario Ttyd. If you choose to fight gus as the very second enemy of the game, he can be pretty unforgiving if your superguard game isn't up to snuff. Conversely, strolling up to hooktail without attack fx g makes her notedly more difficult (assuming you didn't make yourself hax by fighting bonetail at the bottom of the pit prior).
From laughable easy final bosses to head breaker first bosses
Cough dark nebula cough.
Spoiled Rotten in Super Hard difficulty is heart wrenchingly nightmare inducing
I want to give a mention to FireMan from Mega Man Network Transmission. Dude is the first boss in the game but he makes it so hard for you to hit him at times and he has this attack that's pretty darn hard to avoid due to it's range and it deals a LOT of damage.
I still have nightmares about FIRE ARRRRRM.
Either this person is the best gamer ever or it’s tas
Wario land 4 plant
Falker's pokémons using Mud Slap for the tenth time:
The narrator: What's that!?
12:51 Back then it was quite hilarious to see the attack animation go off even though the attack misses.🤣
And one can probably understand why after the 2nd generation, move animations will only occur when they DO hit their target; it saves time.
12:40 Tutorial boss?
I still have (more or less) fond memories of FZero GX. On one hand, I absolutely adored the game. On the other hand, this game is responsible for me having to buy new controllers pretty much monthly due to its brutal difficulty lol
All jokes aside, I think I wanna play it again right now!
The tropical freeze one was actually pretty easy tbh.
Easy under normal circumstances, but Hard Mode does make it so that one mistake equals having to redo the fight from the very beginning.
4:42 400% speed is just a really fancy way of saying 4 times speed
12:05 Is that the cod zombies bear sound? The one for the Easter egg songs? Sure sounds like it
Nah the captain Falcon one's just ludicrously harc
Crazy how they're like souls bosses
Ok, I got the reference finally. You confused me for a sec
Imagine funny joke for Smash bros ultimate, the athlete hero from number 10 is dead horse beating with KO'd Sora in classic mode.
Must be updates.
Starmie: *Uses surf*
Skarmory: *While submerged underwater* Missed me beyatch!
0:05 withing
who could've guessed that a boss would be hard on the highest difficulty
"Oh he just beat Faulkner's Zapdos, so battle is basically over at this point, right?"
...right?
OG Falcner in general is a pain in the ass since he only spams mudslap to the piont they completely removed it from him in HGSS but instead he spams roost
Well I'm glad to know Falkner actually was a bs boss, I just thought I was 10 and bad.
Good. Now lets see Kraid without Narpas Sword.
0:31 i just realized wario and pepperman have the same mooveset
Time is ticking!
13:35 "Oh hey it's Gengar :D"
Me: "He only got his with one Mudslap, there's no way Surf will miss"
*Surf, a 100/100 move, misses*
Me: 💀
_Immediately floods the entire arena with a huge tidal wave._
Game: Yup, that's a miss no question about it.
...Gotta love pokemon logic.
Thunder is guaranteed to hit in the rain. Have something fast with ice beam for Gligar.
To beat Goroh I had to destroy his Fire Stingray... 💀
So, either the Switch version straight-up nerfed the first boss of DKC Tropical Freeze, or Funky does more damage, because Pompy has a final attack phase in which he does several tricks before becoming vulnerable.
You forgot about Odolwa from the N64 version of Majora's Mask. Dude is pretty brutal in that version of the game.
0:46 wario are NOT allowed to do that
Dude. Star Allies should be on this list
7:32 Nintendounity: the first dkctf boss is hard.
Also Nintendounity: beats him with funky Kong who is the definition of easy mode.
I wouldn't say that Falkner is a "tutorial boss", since this is Round 2. Round 1 Falkner is a joke.
Well technically is the tutorial for the hard battles 8and it does good job showing the next BS that will happen, specially Team Rocket minions and gym 3 to 5
Something tells me you couldn’t beat Pompy (DKC: Tropical Freeze) with DK so you had to switch to funky
Gobblegut from Super Mario Galaxy 2 not being on her is kinda odd.
Trust me, the Root Pack from Cuphead is no cakewalk, either.
It is lol I beat it in normal first try
Most of these are on Hard mode or worse, but GX is brutal even on regular difficulty.
20:41 They really need to add some sort of level scaling...
I'll bet any Veteran Trainers left still playing since Johto instantly had PTSD once the booted up the Technical Machine Maker for the first time at the Pokémon Center in Scarlet and Violet.😅
Welcome back to
"The first two generations were perfectly balanced".
Why is the first boss in kid icrias up rising 2 naked
Whats the ost for the 1st 5 seconds of the vid? I heard it before but dont remember.
20:11 YEAAAAASSS!!!
Can you imagine doing roynd 2 bosses on RENTALS?
Idk why but to me the first boss of Metroid Prime was the most annoying and difficult boss of all. I never had enough time to flip all panels and always was never fast enough.
Oh my Arceus, Falkner is big time cancer in Stadium 2.
All hail Faulkner!
Falkner is the reason Game Freak made Clear Body
GEEZ! And I thought Whitney's Miltank was way worse? O___O;
Miltank being so early into the game really only gave you like 2 fighting types that you could use, but also… why does it have rollout
@@thedaedricdragon921 *sigh* To be honest, I don't know anymore. =__=;
@@dannyemory6261 what makes it worse is that I’m pretty sure in the remakes they give the miltank a lum berry as wel, so don’t even think about giving it an effect
@@thedaedricdragon921 Okay. Thanks for the heads-up. ^^;
whitney's miltank is way less threatening if you have the extremely easy to obtain geodude and it's the third boss so I don't think it counts as a tutorial at that point
That Falkner battle was absolute BS. A freaking Legendary _and_ Mud Slap on all of his Pokémon except Gligar, ironically (I checked on Bulbapedia). I felt a lot of second-hand frustration just watching the battle here. I'm really sorry you had to slog through that.
