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.
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.
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
What if you wanted to go to heaven
But god said “accuracy fell”
Throwing out a Zapdos as a the first gym leader of your region is crazy asf
In fairness, this is R2 Falkner.
Why does Samurai Goroh think he’s playing a TouHou game💀💀
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 😂
💀
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
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
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
And that's just the beginning
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
Trust me, the tutorial boss in F-ZERO GX is the time limit to get all of the capsules
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.
7:53 That's probably the most hardcore first boss music ever!😆🎸
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.
Falkner may as well be the ground gym leader, as he sure does love mudslap
The fzero gx one in particular is nearly impossible to
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
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.
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.)
FUN FACT: Pokémon Stadium 2 has fixed outcomes.
What do you mean by that?
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
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.
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.
7:01 My Favorite.
I'll miss Kid Icarus Uprising...
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.
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
Watching you refuse to switch on a resisted sky attack was PAINFUL
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
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.
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.
This great nostalgic game from 80 one this game have it
Wario land 4 plant
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?”
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.
Bruh… funny how every other boss fight in Kid Icarus OMaM takes significantly longer than the final boss
Starmie: *Uses surf*
Skarmory: *While submerged underwater* Missed me beyatch!
Well I'm glad to know Falkner actually was a bs boss, I just thought I was 10 and bad.
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.
From laughable easy final bosses to head breaker first bosses
Cough dark nebula cough.
12:40 Tutorial boss?
Spoiled Rotten in Super Hard difficulty is heart wrenchingly nightmare inducing
7:32 Nintendounity: the first dkctf boss is hard.
Also Nintendounity: beats him with funky Kong who is the definition of easy mode.
Nah the captain Falcon one's just ludicrously harc
Whats the ost for the 1st 5 seconds of the vid? I heard it before but dont remember.
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!
4:42 400% speed is just a really fancy way of saying 4 times speed
_Immediately floods the entire arena with a huge tidal wave._
Game: Yup, that's a miss no question about it.
...Gotta love pokemon logic.
Either this person is the best gamer ever or it’s tas
13:35 "Oh hey it's Gengar :D"
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.
0:31 i just realized wario and pepperman have the same mooveset
Falker's pokémons using Mud Slap for the tenth time:
The narrator: What's that!?
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
Oh my Arceus, Falkner is big time cancer in Stadium 2.
0:46 wario are NOT allowed to do that
Crazy how they're like souls bosses
Ok, I got the reference finally. You confused me for a sec
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
Time is ticking!
That Wario boss looks like it's out of the Yu-Gi-Oh! manga
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".
Thunder is guaranteed to hit in the rain. Have something fast with ice beam for Gligar.
0:05 withing
20:41 They really need to add some sort of level scaling...
Dude. Star Allies should be on this list
10:34 Lore accurate Samus Aran
Gobblegut from Super Mario Galaxy 2 not being on her is kinda odd.
Most of these are on Hard mode or worse, but GX is brutal even on regular difficulty.
To beat Goroh I had to destroy his Fire Stingray... 💀
Why is the first boss in kid icrias up rising 2 naked
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. ^^;
Not Nintendo material but the first boss in Sonic 2 on Game Gear is the hardest in the game. Even harder than the final boss.
Falkner is the reason Game Freak made Clear Body
The very first battle in Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest can be impossible to win with bad RNG. I know because it happened to me on my very first playthrough. If you miss an attack and the Behemoth gets a critical hit, you lose. Not the best first impression I've gotten from a game. I wouldn't call it a difficult battle since you get to retry immediately any time you die in this game, but it sure is annoying to have to rely on dumb luck just to beat the game's first enemy encounter.
7:06 i did This boss so many times without losing health
Smt 4 minotaur
No creo que Samurai Goroh sea un jefe como tal tan solo es una carrera contra un rival nada más, y el capítulo 2 del modo historia de F-Zero GX no es el más difícil el más difícil es el capítulo 7
0:32 wth is up with wario games and their weirdness
Can you imagine doing roynd 2 bosses on RENTALS?
Trust me, the Root Pack from Cuphead is no cakewalk, either.
It is lol I beat it in normal first try
Wah
Not sure why you put Bombirdier as the tutorial boss for scarlet and violet as you can fight Klawf before it and Klawf is much easier.

How did I miss that while editing AND proofwatching the video
@@NintenUnitylol rip
Wosrt of all is that first 5 gyms are something else but the rest is not that brutal, also HI BLACKFUCKINGBELT NICK, DON'T USE FISSURE
Do you want to know a game with an extremely hard tutoriel that so hard that you will do it hundred or thousand of time ? Fear and Hunger. Warning, there some +16 and +18 contenu.
Top 100
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.
Id mention Shin Megami Tensei or Mega Man Zero first bosses, but theyre not exactly Nintendo games
Yeah, when you play the bosses on the HIGHEST DIFFICULTY, they're gonna be brutal, duh
Okay
I would call Falkner's battle "canser" rather than "difficult".
I mean where is the challenge here?
Cancer?

"Cheap" or "BS" if you prefer.
