Ness fired the multi bottle rocket Giygas dodged Quickly! Paula used Psi Pwning ( Which a lmao at btw! XD ) 2 damage to giygas Ness: WTF MAN? NONE OF THIS IS WORKING!!! Jeff: Yeah well screw this beat this giygas! Jeff took out the IMA FIRIN MAH LAZAH!!! Launcher jeff used the launcher BLAAAAAAAAAARG! 8.2 damage to giygas Giygas: F....A...I....L Ness:...crap Giygas attax! B00M U LOSE THE WORLDS BEEN DESTROYED
All you guys and this fetus bullshit. Even if you believe that with every fiber of your being, and you're like "how is this a kids game?" They never say any of that shit in the game! It's all crap that people are digging up! As far as you know Giygas is evil, and he must be stopped!
@007whitespy Actually sorry if I seem like I am just trying to say your wrong because that theory is pretty good and close to what he is but Giygas is based off of a rape scene in the movie "Millitary policeman and the dismembered beauty" that caused Itoi lots of truama in his childhood. When he say's "it...hurts" thats the womens breast (keep in mind she was being raped.) If you don't believe me google (or Yahoo search) "Itoi and boobies." If you are going to argue please look this up before.
Isn't it about time Nintendo made a new Earthbound with CGI animated cutscenes, amazing hard rock RPG music, and a new battle system with kickass animations that will remind today's gamers just how epic awesome Nintendo was, is, and will always be?
It's really surprising it isn't on the VC yet or they haven't done Earthbound 2 yet ont he Wii. After all, a huge fanbase, promising pontential in both Japan AND the USA, and to top Square Enix in making RPG games, how could anything stop them from doing so?
Nah, Nintendo is catering too much to the casual gamers and kids these days, making ridiculously easy games like Super Mario Galaxy. Definitely about time they revive hardcore favorites like Earthbound. I miss the secrets like all the crap you went through for the Biggoron's Sword in Ocarina of Time. Nintendo's games these days have too obvious answers to puzzles, they're usually "press a switch" and at hardest "find secret switch behind blatantly fake looking object".
@4franktmp Yeah, that too. They do seem to be sticking to simplicity. I would go buy a Wii right now if they came out with a new Ocarina of Time for it. Earthbound would be AMAZING as well.
he came in the wrong entrance in the theatre and he saw a scene where some guy was murdering some women and he was little kid so that gave him trauma and inspiration to make this creepy boss wich almost everyone describes as the "most disturbing boss ever"
in the beginning you can put what your favorite thing is and throughout the rest of the game the move psi rockin goes by the name of what you put as your favorite thing. i know i didnt explain that very well but jeez anyone thats ever played earthbound should know that
No matter how many times I fight Giygas I still get Scared (shrudders) I even thought what it would look like if the king of Evil (Gannon) and evil its self (Giygas) would look like combined! Its creepy ok do not comment on how does he look because its for you tubers safety because I drew it out. NO I WILL NOT SHOW THIS HORRIBLE THING!!!
Is it just me, or is it only Nintendo that can properly scare you with a boss?
I mean, in games like Resident Evil and titles like that, you don't expect to be creeped out. But in some games which aren't scary, or aren't expected to be scary, there's something scary that happens. E.G., Zero Two. It's...just...creepy. Yet it's from a game that never scares you at all. Same with Giygas - exept EarthBound IS scary throughout the game.
it's a dark beeing that lost its body and mind (for beeing so evil xD) turning him to a irrational and powerful beeing destroying all that bloks its path and like porky said : "an allmighty idiot" he attacks and talks to u in an incomprehensible way (there is a really morbid theory that talks about abort, based in his "second form" when it's losing his power cuz it look like a fetus
The bee-like alien tells u that u have to kill it cuz in 10 years it will be too powerful, in other words bet it to an age when it is weaker ... that means abort , well something like that, that what the theory tells)
Giygas is based on a childhood trauma that the author had watching a "rape scene" on a old japanese movie (its not a rape and is not explicit, but it was to him when he had 6 year old when he saw it, he said : i just wanna make feel ppl like I felt when I watched that movie)
thats a bunch of bull, zero two is ten times creepier than this guy.
Zero is basically a fallen angel, he cant feel or sense anything except pain, tourture and death. he cries blood to express his pain. he wanted to destroy the happiness of dreamworld but kirby killed him. then he rose from the dead in his new form (zero-two) he still feels pain and crys blood but only has one purpose in life. That is to kill and to make life painful.
(btw zero two's theme is like a epically evil dream)
i guess, i was never a earthbound/mother fanatic. (nor am i a kirby gamer either. [its all about mario zelda starfox and f-zero for me]) but i think every series has that epic boss in there games. i just happen to like zero two the best (even though he is the symbol of pain and death.)
in his second form if you remove his spirit like face like you see in his first form after he comes out of the devils machine you see a human babies head.
im saying the fact it was made to look like that and its really a machine is awesome and creepy at the same time.I think that stuff is awesome and if you dont then shut the heck up and let me think what i think is awesome...damn...
yeah they wouldnt-Itoi would.hes an imaginative and funny person.And just because i know what innards look like doesnt mean im on porn sites...damn...
Well im going to become a doctor,even though im only now going to 9'th grade ive been using college books from my sisters college (she graduated but her school let them keep the books...for some reason...) ive been reading up on stuff ill need to know...it hurts my head alot...
Ive been wanting to be a doctor since i think 3rd grade...before that i wanted to be a psychiatrist....bad thing is i am going to a public school.But its a medical school so FUCK YEAH XD

No that's just the most advanced form. The one used is the one to go with. (Sigma? Helenic characters might as well be hyroglyphics to me!)
Although it would be funny if it actually happened that your own PSI attacks will bounce of him, then you deflect them back at him instead!
Also, the person's lucky Poo went first and his shield got cancelled out.
