Fuck this boss
>>739545273oops wrong pic
faggot that you are to post some ai sloppa re-render of that shitjust fucking jump faggot, he's so easy the devs gave you 3 fucking rings to beat this nigga and his little robot fucktoy version of you.
>>739545482>he's so easy the devs gave you 3 fucking rings to beat this nigga and his little robot fucktoy version of you.The whole stage has zero rings retard, that's the challenge...
The hitbox dissonance on this fucker always screwed me up as a little kid.
It's not that bad, just wait until he stops moving and puts the arms back before jumping into the upper body before he blasts off. If the rocket punches are too hard to dodge you can stand far enough back to point they can't even reach you.
>>739545580I seem to recall there being 3 rings at the start, is my childhood memory faulty?
>>739545273>hit underbelly a few times>go to a corner when he goes up>spindash to the other end when he comes down>wait for the claws>approach and hit his underbelly a few times>rinse and repeat until he is kill>winEven as a retarded 5 year old I could figure this out. Mecha Sonic on the other originally filtered me until I learned that you can cheese him by spindashing as he descends to the floor.
>>739545482>ai sloppa re-render of that shitthat image has been around for like 18 years anoni remember seeing it on a music upload on youtube back then
>>739546050i still hate it because it isn't the OG sonic 2, dont care how long its been around.
>>739545273>Sonic 2 HDthese faggots just took the money and ran didn't they
>>739545827Yes, you are wrong. Seek a memory doctor
>>739545986Literally me except I never figured out the Mecha Sonic cheese strat. Whenever I made it past him I always choked because I was too tilted from dealing with him a dozen times.
Really shitty boss because if you only hit him when it's "safe" the fight is a tedious slog, but if you decide to take risks the hitboxes are so retarded that you can very easily get unlucky and die. They could have given you at least a few rings to work with to alleviate the problem.
>music plays
>>739545827>>739546442Actually, you can start with a few rings the very first time you fight the boss.If you get KO'd, all subsequent restarts are ringless.
>>739548395BASED KNOWERGet this man a Chaos Emerald
>>739548395False.
How the fuck do you beat this guy?
>>739548636when he comes down you can jump and bounce on him 3 times while he is spinning his back blades, you do the same thing when he goes to the otherside of the room, then he does this rocket skate move that you can just spin dash into him twice
>>739548581Try playing the game before you post.>>739548636>keep spin dashing where he lands at the start for 4 free hitsMakes the fight much easier.
I did this no problem at 7 years old.How do I go back. I need to go back. Please.
>>739545443Kinda fascinating enemies in Rush and Heroes get lifebars, but not Sonic.
>>739545273
>>739545827Did you play Sonic Jam? That had an easy mode that spawned rings at the start of the final level.
>>739550494Cute!
>>739545443sonic rush fell into the classic trap of>regular stages and challenge stages are about running fast>bosses are about standing still and waiting for an opening to attack with
>>739548636When I was a kid I never defeat him
>>739545273At least it's the sonic 2 variant, The sonic 4 version is even worse.
>>739548395Show proof, because you're schizo delusions aren't real I'm afraid
>>739545827Did you grew up with Sonic Jam?
>>739552182Play the level before this boss fight, finish it with rings, then tell me how many rings you started with. Get back to me with your results.
>>739548774>he doesn't know the spindash trick
>>739552359>asked for proof>"j-just play the game ;) I'm not totally trolling you anon"
>>739552831I'm not home and can't record any gameplay for you.So why are you so afraid of finding out for yourself? You can use the level select code, if you're on a PC it takes less than 5 minutes to find out.
>>739545273Why does Knuckles not bounce off this boss when you hit him? Felt pretty cheap since it's the only time I remember that happening in the whole game.>>739552359You sure you're not mixing it up with the Sonic and Knuckles final boss?
>>739553137100% certain.
what's his secret?
>>739553263You're amazingly confidently wrong. Death Egg always starts you with zero rings, even if you finish Wing Fortress with rings.https://youtu.be/8cr1rqVcIhA?t=3509
>>739553518Any examples where he isn't Super, just to confirm its not the rings dropping.Also I played on PAL, so that's the version to check.
>>739553636I still have my PAL version of Sonic 2. I have finished it more times than I've had hot dinners. Death Egg always starts you with zero rings. The only way to get rings on the stage is to use the debugging cheat.
>>739553791>I still have my PAL version of Sonic 2. I have finished it more times than I've had hot dinners.Same. So without proof one way or the other, we're at an impass.
Everytime I think of sonic fans I can't help think of people like "Sonic Tweaker" and what he did to his little sister, the admin from "sonic cult" who got prision time, chris chan, etcAnd then I question, why don't we see more of them these days compared to a decade ago? Are autists finding new franchises to latch onto?
>>739546050"It's AI" is the new "it's Photoshop" in that when they can't tell and want to look smart they just throw that out hoping it's true.
>>739554030>Are autists finding new franchises to latch onto?Maybe. Sonic lost a lot of his edge after 2009 when they changed the writers. And now we also have a tranny infestation in the fanbase, so the whole thing just feels like it's for babies and pedo instead of teenage boys.
>>739553879Not really.Here's someone with 240 rings that don't stick. https://youtu.be/xMJyL9SBgO8?t=4088So unless you move to some "It's like that in the PAL version!" cope (and it isn't), it's probably just easier to admit you're wrong and take the L.
>>739554354Thanks, but I already asked you to check the pal version, why are you posting NTSC again?This proves nothing about the PAL game, which is the version we are both talking about.
>>739554510I have never seen someone cling to being wrong in the face of such overwhelming evidence. It's like the gaming equivalent of being a flat earther.And the fucking goal-post shifting: can't be Super Sonic, has to be PAL version... Jesus.Anyway, here's a PAL play: https://youtu.be/5VNWb4-GNq4?t=4795Now fuck off, you're wrong. And I'm not wasting any more time on this, I'm not going to go hunting for a particular permutation of Sonic 2 on YouTube, and I'm sure as fuck not doing any more of these Captchas.
>>739554876Thanks, don't know why you're so angry about this.
>>739548636You start with rings, retard, you can't lose
Here to clear this up: 2 weeks ago, first time, the Story Mode in Sonic Origins had me keep my rings for the 1st try on this boss, immediately knew this is wrong, so anon has to have it from there.
>>739555169Oh that is the last version of the game I played (cousin had Origins at xmas). That must be where I'm getting confused. Thanks for clearing that up.
>>739553386The spines on his back are too sharp for a man.They'll give you a pain in the worst place they can!The result I think you'll find will appall:THE HEDGEHOG CAN NEVER BE BUGGERED AT ALL!
>>739545443At least bomber barbara was a kino track
>>739548774getting the first three hits in always felt good
>>739552530it amounts to about the same damage and it looks like your way didnt do any more damage than my way - jumping on his head has a good chance to get 4 hits in before he curls up to dash over to the left side at which point it's just 4 more hits and that section is overrewatching mine i can see where i could have saved a few seconds namely the first time the giant robot takes off i could have went all the way over to the left corner instead of most of the way
it's fine as Sonic. Annoying as knuckles
>>739559950You can get 4 hits using the spin dash trick but it's basically 4 free hits unlike jumping on it 4 times which there is always a small chance of fucking up. I also could have done a little better myself and this isn't my best run as I played a bit conservative against the Egg Robot. Honestly when you figure the stage out is not really that hard.
>>739546096And I hate you because you're brown so we'll both just have to be mad then won't we you sorry nigger
>>739555017>act like a flagrant retard for hours claiming something is true when it blatantly isn't and refusing to take five seconds in google to double check yourself>definitively get proven wrong>"Now fuck off stupid.">"LOL Y U MAD THO?"That anon was amazingly patient with you, honestly. I will never understand why people on this site are so fucking stubborn about MAYBE being wrong about the smallest shit.
PINGAS
>>739560843the obvious moral is not to argue with retards
>>739548636His hitbox fucking sucks
