I love how Asimov starts out with already difficult to avoid regular attacks and a super move when you almost deplete his first health bar, and then pulls out a super mode, starts throwing out his super moves regularly, and then unleases a super DUPER move when his second health bar is almost gone. Really gives you a superboss feel the entire time.
Thanks 8) it wasn't as graceful as I would have liked to be because I had a controller mishap at 1:26. Very risky to do a 3hit combo after that attack because he can surprise you with the knives into grenade attack right after. I was excited though because it was the first time finally getting through it all! Almost wanted to redo it.
Asimov is such a big jerk! Jeez, Gunvolt defeated him, then Copen did again, now Kirin's turn for the 3rd time! Is he like Sigma but with a far worse attitude? Yikes! Glad you got him though!
thanks 8) fantastic boss fight. I really want to play GV1 again because it's been a long time and I've forgotten what all went down with Asimov. I do remember and liked his appearance in ix1. Agree with Sigma similarities, was thinking the same thing too.
I dont think Copen ever won against him. Last time he fought he lost, and even took his Greed Snatcher, which he uses against Gunvolt. Thats when in IX, he defeated Asimov, even his strongest form as well.
Sad attempts: in the first clip I was not expecting that at all, and in the second clip my controller is sensitive when aiming upward streamable.com/fafdlk
I can imagine Copen in GV3 will be an amazing fight. It's really interesting how much better and distinct the games have felt throughout the series like from iX1 to iX2 to GV3. I really like how the gameplay feels in both GV3 and iX2 that I'm glad to see guest bosses in each. Really does feel like Copen deserves a spot in GV3
i’d imagine it can be base from Gunvolt Chronicles, making him looking ageless through being built as a machine just as GV being ageless due to his powers.
become king of the new world or forever forsake freedom. he has a point. the issue is some other usurper will come along after us because this is the only way we ourselves can become king, and we'll have to outperform them in a duel to the death just like we outperformed the previous king.
So, what fight would you say is the hardest in the series at this point? As I personally think it would be this one, but I am not a high level player so I wanted to get your input.
oo let me tell you, as I was working through the S++ series in Gunvolt3 there have been a few hurdles to get over, and it was very noticeable that the difficulty with trying to learn and pull off a no-damage run really ramped up with towards the end. Overall hardest, it was Asimov in Gunvolt3. Spent the most time on him and only because of the randomness of his moveset between healthbar thresholds. He was the most annoying to learn because of his two moves that disable Kirin's talismans for about 6 seconds or so (at 0:18 and 0:41). It was annoying because you need to use the talismans to dodge, and if you get hit with either of those two moves you're going to lose half of your health taking hits until you can restock your talismans. Think that's the easiest way to put it because having a boss that disables you from attacking is incredibly crippling and punishing- I rather like it because it's a great challenge to figure out. All from Gunvolt3: Grazie's last special is annoying to dodge because of the sandstorm pull mechanic, Prado has really short windows to be able to safety attack her, Gunvolt himself was a matter of getting the hang of the timing of one specific attack, Merak&Teseo was very chaotic and fast to get used to, Nova was the hardest before Asimov because he really ramped up in difficulty compared to Merak&Teseo. Really liked Mother in iX2, felt like a long endurance fight to get through damageless. Trying to remember iX1- I know Asimov was annoying because of Copen's playstyle, did not attempt a no-hit in iX1. Have actually never played Gunvolt2 and I don't remember much of Gunvolt1.
@@FibberSteve Honestly I hated the Mother fight in IX 2 on hard mode for a while. Then I actually started to like having a short break between fights to quickly run through the opening. I got pretty good at the first phase and could beat it easily without chrono flash. I still hate that stupid robot space ninja, as I had to grind so many lives. Even if I beat him first try in the refight. I cheesed most of the GV 3 bosses with gunvolt, so refighting them is tough. Glad to get your input, on the difficulty of these fights.
@@seiun7833 the one called Thunder Cross Swords- the one where there's 4 tall lightning pillars in a shape of a cross, followed by 5 smaller cross shaped pillars, and then the wave of lightning outward from Gunvolt's left and right. the timing on that one is really weird to get used to because once you jump up to avoid the smaller pillars you have to delay moving to the side for about a 3rd of a second or so before you do move to teleport. Jump -> wait -> move -> teleport -> tag with talisman -> move away -> teleport. It's the one move I was always afraid of getting hit by, lol. Octis Veto does felt easier to learn that I felt confident getting through consistently. Luxcalibur slash waves wasn't too bad to get the hang of. I don't think I did it the ideal way, but it sure looked pretty neat. I followed the direction of the blades each swing. The 2nd and 3rd swings are close to back-to-back and getting that last tag in before moving away was the toughest part. Grand Strizer Meteor was maybe the 3rd hardest to learn? the one where he summons the Luxcalibur sword across the ground and diagonally before teleporting and summoning three more across the room. The second part of that is just like the problem I had with Thunder Cross Swords- the delayed movement. Can't move too fast when dodging the second part of that attack, have to let go of the direction for like another 3rd of a second before moving again. Thunder Cross Sword hardest for me, followed by Grand Strizer Meteor, followed by Octis Veto, and then Luxcalibur Wave. In that order of confidence/longest time spent in learning to dodge consistently.
@@bestaround3323 omg Ace. Space Block was the very first stage I took on when trying to do my first Xrank mission on Hard Mode. I just really liked Ace's fight and I knew I wanted to learn him first. That stage was a nightmare. The scoring system in iX2 is almost too precise for getting Xrank that it felt like there is absolutely no room for error, have to be 100%, you could not get hit and still not have enough points for Xrank because you didn't kill one enemy with a special weapon. God, as soon as you said robot space ninja I had flashbacks of all the times I got to him and it was just like Asimov where you really didn't know what he was going to open up with, and to react to it felt like a guessing game. Ace is one of my favorite fights in the series, I'd say. When I first finished GV3 I checked out KirinXX just to see what it was about. My first impression before even seeing what it was like was that it was a limited version of Kirin, maybe like a prototype Kirin or hard-type Kirin that was harder to play as. It was the opposite, lol. The triple talisman shot made things a ton easier to tag, so I wanted to do my first no-hit boss which was Gunvolt at the last mission. I did it as KirinXX and it felt really great getting through it, but then I wanted to try it with normal Kirin. O man I was so spoiled by the triple shot and I even wrote in my description that you had to be more precise with your shots, lol. Refighting them is tough, I agree. It is also very satisfying to get better and better at it. Not Grazie, though. Grazie was so confusing.
his moveset is pretty annoying, lol. there's like 4 moves he can do in phase 1, and an additional 4 moves along with the first 4 moves in a random order that makes it really tough to react to. gets easier after his Septimal Surge 😁
Azure Striker is both generating AND manipulating electricity. Asimov in particular becomes an immortal being of pure lightning in LAiX and is able to orchestrate the downfall of humankind (albeit unsuccessfully), with the only thing holding him back being literal insanity from turning extremely old. Environmental factors also make it extremely powerful.
There was a series of free dlc released with additional boss fights and Asimov was from the 3rd update. i think the extra missions are available after you finish the game on any difficulty, when you unlock the DemandingTask and Merciless difficulties.
oh I just remembered you have to unlock the mission first with a special condition. you have to fight Mobius with a specific image equipped? "equip any Asimov Passive Image Pulse (ASIMOV 1*, ASIMOV 3*, or "Azure Striker" ASIMOV 3*) and enter the World Moebius stage"
When fighting Mobius, theres a technique it does when caught by its attack, it attacks your memories. Let yourself be caught while under GV’s berserk state (when the resurrection music hits) and when doing so, instead of taking damage you’ll end up teleporting to a different location. That location is Asimov.
I love how Asimov starts out with already difficult to avoid regular attacks and a super move when you almost deplete his first health bar, and then pulls out a super mode, starts throwing out his super moves regularly, and then unleases a super DUPER move when his second health bar is almost gone.

GV: ...MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE-

@@merimkastrat5846 technically azure striker gunvolt and gunvolt chronicles ix are both canon just two different timelines possibly caused by mobieus

I like how they didn't remake the character talking sprite and it just looks so out of place like it's a mod
i'm really hoping that one day we'll get prayer copen for gunvolt 3 as a boss and prayer gunvolt as a boss for IX 2

Now that I think about it, is Asimov's lightning form in iX is perhap his Primal Dragon form?

Was the one attack from GV the Luxcalibur slash spam one? Or was it Octis Veto?

I don’t get how Azure Striker is the strongest septima? It’s just manipulating lightning
It’s considered the “strongest” due to its theoretical access to unlimited electrical energy.
@@thomasalvarenga2839There’s a literal reality warped in this game. Technically 2 cause Teseo is a reality warper
