[Zaser9]

If you lose the clash with Kimmy Howell she kicks Travis in the crotch

How strange that I finally got No More Heroes 2, and I found this game. Here's my story about this "Yandere" as you call her.

I honestly didn't know how to unlock her. :P After my first playthrough, I looked it up, and before I loaded up GameFAQs, I went back into the motel and bam! Fax.

She...wasn't that hard. I mean, the ninja attack before DID scare half the crap out of me, but she still was easy for me on Bitter. Never even faced her on Mild. All in all, not THAT big of a boss. Not to me.

[Turner459O]

@ShinyGaara65 You can't really even call it unlock. There are no optional requirments, and assuming you save often, you can't miss her.

But as far as bosses, and characters go in this game, she is easily one of the most memorable. The really good boss/characters/memorable fights don't happen until a few of the latter bosses (Rank 4,3,2 are the best parts of the game by far)

[ShinyGaara65]

@Turner459O Dumped a save after every kill practically. ;)

And I can't wrong you about that. I can't pin down a single favorite in NMH 2, like one that I like above ALL the others. Though Walsh, Gunman, New Destroyman, and Matt Helms (CHEEEAP!) are far, far away from the favorites.

[Turner459O]

@ShinyGaara65 Oh I can pinpoint the best part easily. Rank 2 - Alice Twilight

Oh man. Everything about Rank 2 was so flawless. Honestly, if it wasn't in the game, I could say this game isn't worth playing to a non-NMH fan. No joke. Rank 2 is THAT good in my opinion (Rank 4 is also pretty good, but compared to 2, is just....no comparison)

You will see how bad New Destroyman really is when I take him down in a few videos. The video is 18 minutes long! At least the music is good for that fight)

[TheBeserkerLord]

@Turner459O Actually, she IS completely optional. I would know. The first time I played this, I beat the entire game without ever fighting her (or, by extension, doing any of the revenge missions).

[Turner459O]

@TheBeserkerLord I know she is completely optional. I'm saying that if you save often (go back to the motel), you can't miss her.

[awsomeDualshock]

I WANNA SEE THE KITTY....DARN U,DARN U TO HECK

[peanut3423]

I'm currently grinning in my seat.

Hi there guy I mentioned in that same countdown! :D

I'm doing pretty well, working on a countdown about boss themes as I'm listening to you talk about this boss' theme.

I still can't get over how well Twisted Nerve worked in that scene...

[Turner459O]

@peanut3423 No More Heroes 2 : The Movie! Staring Uma Thurman as Kimmy Howell!

Speaking of, a No More Heroes movie, in the style of the Animation Sequence in Kill Bill Vol 1 would be godlike. Hell, ANYTHING No More Heroes directed by Quentin Tarantino would be godlike.

[Lupina09]

Oh God, the stalker bitch... I remember being completely fine with her until she started bringing out those damn bubbles!

It's a nice fight, but those bubbles!

I do just have one question: Is Peony your weapon of choice or did you just not feel like switching out?

[Turner459O]

@Lupina09 It really depends on what type of player you are. I keep using Peony until I unlock the Rose Nasty.

[TheShiningYoshi]

When it said "Kimmy Howell K.O."

The Scott Pilgrim "KAY-OH!" voice sprung into my head.

[maximum7412]

Kimmy use bubble its super affective

[n4tennis23]

I'm assuming you were talking about the autarch of flame when you mentioned the Kill Bill music. I guess that evens it out though - you gave him the nipples of doom joke from No More Heroes 1 and you referenced him and his Kill Bill music in No More Heroes 2 :)

I love Kimmy Howell, her cutscene is amazing!

[NintendoFan27]

that's a clarinet

[encfam]

Ah, you're referencing the Autarch of Flame! I loved that video!

[smallsthe1st]

Quoting Nostalgia Critic.....FUCKING BUBBLES, GUYS!!!!

[TheHellspawnHero]

SCARY SLOW-MO

[Turner459O]

@TheHellspawnHero Holy shit. I am so using that during the next recording session ;D

[ghostnappa1000]

i can't wait for the mrs octapus rank2 boss

[dimentiorules]

Isn't it strange how all the best bosses in this game are girls? Minus Cloe Walsh, of course.

[Turner459O]

@dimentiorules ...omg your right.

That is interesting ;D

[TheBeserkerLord]

@dimentiorules Personally, I would put Matt Helms and Captain Vladimir pretty high up on the list as well.

[Turner459O]

@TheBeserkerLord Um No. Matt Helms is not a good boss. Clustered arena. Somewhat bad camera angles, really dark, cheap attacks, and no character development whatsoever

Vladamir on the other hand, is fantastic, for all of the opposite reasons

[TheBeserkerLord]

@Turner459O He has an interesting backstory, a cool character design, awesome music, and is essentially a representation of the very worst things that revenge does to people. So yes, he's a good boss.

By the way, I also forgot to mention Skelter Helter earlier. He's probably my favorite male boss in the game. Especially with that whole "No More Loser" comic book that builds on his backstory.

[Turner459O]

@TheBeserkerLord That is arguable, but I'm not saying he's a terrible boss (Million Gunman), but the fight overall isn't enjoyable for me. But still, I don't think you still can't compare him to the higher ranks like 4,3, or 2.

[dimentiorules]

What if Kimmy accidently activated her katana recorder while she was playing it? She'd spear herself right through the throat!

[enchilada645]

Que Kill Bill music, and hooray for bubbles of doom.
