Season of the Samurai - No More Heroes - #8 Shinobu

[KhanuHydra]

please fix the download, it doesn't work

[Konkfan7]

My friend had the biggest ragequit ever fighting Shinobu!

[gamernerd141]

2:15 for rock section

you are all welcome

[pokemonmaker7644]

i used to hate travis, then i took a beam katana to the knee

[patanu]

Sounds like a 80 year old trying to clear his throat while techno plays in the background.

[Goldsbro]

To be honest, I didn't find any real difficulty, when fighting Shinobu, or any boss, except for Jeane.

[zelpyzelp]

she was the first boss to kick my ass, on the second try though? i was the ass-kicker

[MrSturmthedark]

I managed to beat her using a Blood Berry on Bitter....after 2 hours. I needed a shower afterwards.

[p6mkq]

When facing Shinobu you have two methods of fighting her : 1. Hard way Like a true gentleman: No charged up special slashes,fair slash after slash, dodges - tried this method, beaten her on my 6th try ,struggled and got my ass kicked 5 times in a row before defeating her- on normal ! =( 2.Easy way Approach her from the corner ,charged up jumping slash in her face, charge up katana again,rinse and repeat Beaten her on bitter on my first try with this cheap method... ;-)

[axsprime]

My name is Travis Touchdown.

I do cocaine....

[SuperNintendogamer1]

This song would be better without the NOOOISE *Snort*

[AkumetsuLord]

@SuperNintendogamer1 no...it wouldn't :3

[Onshki]

@AkumetsuLord <3 your comment

[Onshki]

@AkumetsuLord <3 your comment

[AuraGuardianML]

I died 3 times to Shinobu before I got a strategy and finally beat her. @A@

[anime232FTW]

Lol I like shinobu's boss battle. I like hard boss battles and shinobu was a well written

character

[Ichiryu666]

Was I the only person who found Shinobu really easy?

[marthedge]

@Ichiryu666 she seems to be one of those bosses that varies from person to person

[Ichiryu666]

@marthedge That may be true but I mean, I can beat her on Bitter mode in about 10 seconds with Tsubaki mk-III (providing it has unlimited battery). That said she wasn't even that tough with Tsubaki mk-I

[TexasRangerification]

Or are you just fuckin with me?

[gamemaniack]

shinobu my favorit boss in no more heroes 1..shes the only one that actualy gave me a challenge

[kloggeddrain]

whats odd is that i like long, hard fights, so i am actually unusual compared to the rest of the people here.

so yeah, i liked this fight.

[blackdeadtree1]

always wondered why people found this fight hard. you just wait for her to finish an attack then own her at the end of it

[Darkrise714]

Just took a break fighting her in the ps3 version... I've realized that I've been fighting her for half an hour with one death and her health still isn't even half-way in the 2nd try... Yeah, seriously, not easy at all...

[AkumetsuLord]

@Darkrise714 Yeah, u got to play pretty defensive and even then she's still hard. Just keep being careful and u'll get her

[Stiglitz51]

@Darkrise714 Yea man it's truly a difficult fight. It's no wonder she was made playable along with Henry in the sequel becuase both fights could last nearly a whole half hour if not more if you're playing it careful. To be honest the thing that ends the fight before you're seconds away from beating her is her almost insta kill attack.

[MysteryReiZero]

Is Moe from the Three Stooges?

[6thhokagephil]

NOISE!! *snorts cocaine* NNNOISE!!! *snorts cocaine*

[6thhokagephil]

@KINGKICK612 Listen to the song

[JdotSweapA]

Sonic Sword!!!

[burnoutpro15]

as much as I hated the fight with Shinobu, I LOVE this song XD

[smbzfan2]

Someone upload this song backwards.

[00REfan00]

like this song.. a lot!

[6thhokagephil]

After playing through shinobu's 2 fights, I gotta wonder. While in the shower she asks herself what moe is. Yet she says it non stop. Cause you know, everyone uses words that they don't know the definitions of XD.

[noob1n8or]

@6thhokagephil

well moe is one of those things that you can't really provide an exact definition for. ( I can think of at least three different ones)

that doesn't change the fact that she uses the word incorrectly.

[6thhokagephil]

@noob1n8or Yeah, I thought moe was innocent characters that others have the urge to protect. hmm Oh well, Shinobu is still silly for saying it all the time XD.

[Snipertoaster]

@6thhokagephil She doesn't even know what it means. When she goes through the shower save sequence, she says "What does "moe" mean?"

[JanembaJanemba]

Sooooo is she ganguro or black. People are giving different opinions >_>

[FIGHTFANNERD3]

@JanembaJanemba no black

[6thhokagephil]

I still gotta ask why Shinobu killed her classmates in her introduction =o. Was she just showing off cause shes an assassin and can get away with shit like that XD?

[DjLesD]

@6thhokagephil No, it's because they heard her talking to Travis and she didn't want any witnesses.

[6thhokagephil]

@DjLesD I suppose, you gotta love the world of santa destroy =o . Getting away with murder ish so easy

[burnoutpro15]

@DjLesD why wouldn't she want witnesses?

[DjLesD]

@burnoutpro15 She is trying to keep it a secret that she is a assassin.

[burnoutpro15]

@DjLesD ooooooooohhhhh but how did travis find out if she wants to keep it a secret? I haven't played this game in forever and I'm going to start again

[DjLesD]

@burnoutpro15 Because Silvia told him.

[KillerConSmith]

Is it just me or is the voice saying 'noise'?

[elmerOzo]

Shinobu on Sweet: Too easy. Dies too quickly.

Shinobu on Mild: Still quite easy.

Shinobu on Bitter: SWEET MOTHER OF GOD, SHE KILLS ME THREE TIMES FOR EVERY ONE HIT THAT LANDS ON HER

[burnoutpro15]

@elmerOzo XD

[00REfan00]

fuck yeah

[CarmageddonHero]

Sky high!

[MrJameshodgkins]

did you hear BILLY MAYS? in a tekken voice and bones cracking at the same time?

[masterplusmargarita]

"Noise", by the way.

[EcianZarian]

What's that in your hand, a toy?

[chaotix67]

ubonihs=shinobu

[zelpyzelp]

@KINGKICK612 if you listen to the song you can hear something that sounds like someone is snorting cocaine

[GarlandFraser]

@chaotix67 nilbog is goblin spelled backwards! :O

[sleepykoinu]

@GarlandFraser They were explaining what the song was saying (as opposed to "noise").

[yamis1brother]

Out of all the (ranked) fights this is my favorite boss theme. I just love all those drum rolls which is extremely awesome since my favorite instrument is drums!

[Hyake]

this sounds like something you'd hear in a nightclub... intentional?

[CarmageddonHero]

Maek noize.

[InvaderSlusk1994]

Noize...Noize...Noize...Noize.­..Noize...Noize...Noize...Noiz­e...Noize...Noize...Noize...No­ize...Noize...Noize...Noize...­Noize...Noize...Noize...Noize.­..*guitar riffs*

[InvaderSlusk1994]

ok. does somebody know where to buy this game's soundtrack preferably under $50?

[yamis1brother]

@InvaderSlusk1994 HMV? :P

[1Bullet2Ki11s]

@InvaderSlusk1994

Itunes. or just download the video from Youtube and make them into MP3 files then burn them onto a CD....

[FrankEast99]

@1Bullet2Ki11s I looked for no more heroes soundtrack on itunes and it didnt show up what do i type?

[1Bullet2Ki11s]

@FrankEast99

okay to get it for free. just type in "Youtube to MP3" in google. choose any link you see. Copy and paste the URL into the spot they tell you. and then it's save the MP3 file to your computer. go into your downloads and drag and drop the MP3 file from where it is in the computer to where you keep your music (repeat for the songs you want). OR go to Amazon.com and type in the search bar "No More Heroes OST" and it should pop up as the first one. goes for 57.00$ dollars though :S

[luke213tigy]

she took 2 hours to beat on bitter. she was so cheap though when i would do that side-step thing to her and slash like crazy, none would connect.

[yamis1brother]

When I first fought Shinobu I died two times and I was PISSED OFF. ._.

[iownnoobsatstarcraft]

@yamis1brother Two times. Wow thats great...II died...7 FREAKING TIMES before I killed her.

You got the better end of the deal.

[yamis1brother]

@iownnoobsatstarcraft I'm not sure if it went through to you but I replied saying: "Maybe I died two times because I watched the walkthroughs a lot. :P"

[StitchV2]

she was such a bitch to beat, she made me die at least once D:

[bloodypinkcows]

5 People have no moe. D:<

[yamis1brother]

"What's that in your hand? A toy?"

[MummyKing999]

At first I didn't like this song, but now I've defeated her and I realize this fits perfectly.

[dgraxel]

love battle with shinobu one of the best

[Animus69]

What's that in your hand? A toy?

YOU HAVE NO MOE!

What does...moe mean?

[The13thRobo]

@Animus69 moe is an anime freak's term for really cute or sexy ladies (technically, it's what "makes you heart melt").

[Animus69]

@The13thRobo lol thanks, but actually, I was using quotes that Shinobu says and know what it means.

Again, thanks, though!

[The13thRobo]

@Animus69 101 \/\/l-l00P5

[garowice]

@Animus69 It's an otaku(Manga anime nerd) thing. It's like a feeling of "a flower blooming ur chest" or what I would define it as "A ffeling of overloaded an unbearable cutness"

[Animus69]

@garowice Like I've told people earlier, I was just quoting Shinobu herself in NMH2.

[ranchdressing]

Btw, I wonder how the hell Takada DOES this. Is he s'posed to be a famous DJ of some sort? Man, just imagine rave dancing when Masafumi-san takes the turntable!

[inferno232]

I'd like a choice between her, Henry, or Travis for the third game, actually. Give them three seperate storylines or something.

No, more likely, though, Travis turning her down will cause her to go a bit... Well, loopy in the head. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, after all.

[stressfear]

@inferno232 Suda51 says no more No More Heroes. Not about Travis, anyway.

[bawssmaster]

I swear to god, this girl took me so long to kill.

[dobadobadooo]

Thumbs up if you want Shinobu to be the main character for NMH3!

[NoMorePopMusic]

@dobadobadooo oh please no please!

[dobadobadooo]

@NoMorePopMusic Kinda disappoints me that no one got the joke. Being sarcastic on the internet isn't easy... :/

[VGN330]

I think that the next No More Heroes game will be focused on Shinobu

NO MORE HEROES: SHINOBU CHRONICLES sounds like a great name and this would be the main theme.

[hatinghighschool]

Shinobu? Why? Then all the awesome beam kitana action is gone, besides, I rather like playing as Travis, even though they're most likely changing the POV. I'd rather play as Henry than Shinobu.

[redmage2000]

@VGN330 It might be Shinobu doing the ranking battles in Asia.

[TheBeserkerLord]

@redmage2000

Personally, I'd be surprised if it ISN'T about that. That seemed like a pretty obvious set-up for a prequel to me...

[RuneKnightTristan]

@VGN330

Or, DLC, so we're not using $30.00 on something of the sort.

[TheBlackFireX]

when u fight her, she always seems to shout something that i can't understand. it sound s like she's saying "SCI-FI!" but i'm not that sure can any1 tell me wot she's saying?

[bawssmaster]

@TheBlackFireX She is either saying "What's the matter? Can't kill a woman?" Or... "Sonic Sword!".

[Funnelwedspider]

I can't beat her on bitter.

She is awesome!

[Superscoper7]

@Funnelwedspider Get the unlimited energy upgrade and spam low charged attacks. Continue until you beat her approximately one minute later.

[Funnelwedspider]

@Superscoper7 THANKS!!!

[TheBambiniGiant]

God, it was good to see her again in the second game...and to play as her too! such a great experience. She and Henry were the best assets to No More Heroes 2

[GenericSoda]

@TheBambiniGiant

>best assets to No More Heroes 2

what

[lordoYYH255]

The only reason Shinobu killed me like 8 times was because when ever im about to kill her she goes Bleach on my ass.

[neon6]

@lordoYYH255 Bankai to Tensa Zangetsu to Getsuga Tenshou?

[crashandcortex]

Man, this boss was so much fun!

She wasn't that hard (in fact, she was beaten on my first try on Mild), but her battle was very fun, she had so many techniques to make use of, and this awesome battle theme playing in the background made it even better! Rolling makes her a lot easier, trust me.

[SithArmyKnife]

This sounds like it belongs in Afro Samurai.

[Cross177]

@SithArmyKnife Well she was based off of him.

[ZetaNeubourn]

Two words..... Sonic Sword..... Geeze, she wasn't easy. |D

[reiz20]

@ZetaNeubourn

wow, don't remind me of that attack, i remebered that once when i was about to beat her, she was low on health; she went ape-shit and started to throw a lot of Sonic Swords and instantly killing me! (i was low on health) D:

[SuperBambs]

i dont know what was too hard about this fight. i found it easy enough

[zangetsu134]

The second one while flawed, still gave us great lines, such as my favorite from Shinobu:

"When the gatekeeper to hell asks who sent you, tell them it was Shinobu jacobs"

Awesome :)

[Raxer21]

@zangetsu134 : It wasnt flawed if you bothered to analyze the story -_-

[zangetsu134]

@Raxer21

I meant flawed as in gameplay and a bit less interesting story until the second half.

[itslikeadrill]

and Shinobu struts her sexy stuff...

[TheJiXjAx]

awesome boss fight, awesome theme :D

[omayrazouk]

Jacob's Ladder...

[blues03]

Ha, as if the two hour fight with her hasn't burned this into my mind already. Ah well, good stuff.

[shinryu83]

epic battle, epic theme

[BlackCladGolbez]

Sing along everyone... ubonihs... ubonihs...

[OniLordMiki]

@BlackCladGolbez

why'd they give you a minus down.

I still say "Ubonihs"

it just sounds cool

[Brokarrr]

@BlackCladGolbez I dunno, I still can't unhear "BILLY MAYS" for some reason.

[Nahcihc]

I keep thinking of Kill Bill because of this song XD

[tehmoozorz]

man oh man, just replayed NMH #1 today, i forgot after playing number 2 how awesome the samurai-like showdowns were in the first. number 2's good to be true, but the bosses just arent epic on the same scale.

[taemaru]

NMH 2 is great!!

[EXKenshin]

i wish you could fight their bosses as travis, and vice-versa

[SuperStickmanML13]

@darkfire158 Awesome idea! :)

@EXKenshin Wouldn't that defeat the point of NMH2 being a sequel rather than DLC?

[EXKenshin]

not if they made it a special when u beat the game 100%

[SuperStickmanML13]

Oh right. Got ya. :)

[darkdrag187]

@PTR578 i wish henry got more love shinobu got two levels henry got a boss fight

[rainy1314emily]

@PTR578

On the bright side.

NMH2's got the death match mode which allows you to replay your fights with the bosses you've encountered in the game.

It should be nice I guess.

[EXKenshin]

they DEF shoulda added the first games bosses, but have graphics and everything like from the first game, layout and everything

[rainy1314emily]

@EXKenshin

Hmm I agree.

D: ,I'm not happy with the fact that Suda chose to produce a NMH game for 360 and PS3.

NMH is meant to be ours !

[drytherainhorses]

xD damn right. it will only be released in japan tho

[rainy1314emily]

@drytherainhorses

No way D: !

So we won't be getting the death match mode ): ?

[SuperStickmanML13]

Thanks, guys. Pleased to hear it's not one of those disappointing sequels you always hear about. Btw, anyone think NMH would work really well as an anime movie? =)

[darkfire158]

Hmm... maybe a montage of head slicing for the area before the bosses, but yeah, it does seem like it could be a good anime movie.

[teath123]

Moe

You're nowhere close to master!

Moe

You're nowhere close to master!

Moe

You're nowhere close to master!Moe

You're nowhere close to master!Moe

You're nowhere close to master!Moe

You're nowhere close to master!

[taemaru]

@teath123 hahaha ijust noticed that when she's taking a bath she asks "what does moe mean?" hahaha

[simplebaby2step]

@teath123 I like how she doesn't even know what Moe means. XD

[psaile93]

@teath123 "what does moe mean?" *facepalm*

[truealchiemist]

Is it just me or does it sorta sound like the voice is saying either:

"Playing the Wii"

or

"Play the Wii"

0_0"

[Darksoul1221]

Its actually saying"Noise..."

[truealchiemist]

Lol. That's like Robot Funk. He's saying Robot Funk, but it sounds like Don't drive drunk.

; 3;

[Darksoul1221]

lol,interesting...

[SuperStickmanML13]

So, NMH2 is out in the States. Which is all well and good for you Americans, but I live in Ireland, twiddling my thumbs for the next month or so. Can anyone tell me if Shinobu and Henry are as good as our homeboy Touchdown and if the game as a whole lives up to this classic original? No spoilers of any kind, though. =)

[MathiusCronqvist]

I hear that it isn't going to be out in this entire quarter. Shinobu is great, jump instead of melee, they added some jump gimmicks that get old, but otherwise very fun. Henry is awesome to play as, funner than Travis. The game lives up to the original as long as you don't expect more of the same.

[CasterTrash]

@SuperStickmanML13

Henry no. He's fun and really over powered but his moves aren't all that fun

Shinobu. as long as you combo by switching stances and use the jump for more combos and as a way to get up onto things like a high step instead of trying to play her like a real platform game then yes.

Oh and don't finish a combo unless you can kill a enemy with that move otherwise she halt for a sec and it leaves you wide open.

[SuperStickmanML13]

@CasterTrash Sounds neat. :)

Btw: According to Wikipedia (I know it isn't the most concrete source) NMH2 is out in Europe on May 11th. =D

[Raxer21]

@CasterTrash : Agreed, Henry is rather hard to control

[keybladeblastcalibur]

202th comment , this music is cool and slightly creepy.

[bunniesaresocutey]

201st! :P and this music was the most suiting for the boss in my opinion.

[brennant]

200th comment, win.

[JoeDaPokemonMasta1]

Don't fuck with her.

Great fight theme. :D

[QuesoGr7]

The background vocal somewhat remind me of Robotnic saying pingas for some reason! xD

[iLLmaticV3]

No More Heroes has an amazing soundtrack!

[CoolxBreese]

Gotta love lyrics in songs where you can derive so many different phrases from them.

"Minimum wage"

"Bring the noise"

"Feel my pain"

[SuperStickmanML13]

She's not that hard. So far, the only ranking battle I considered hard was Bad Girl, who I am stuck on (I didn't try for very long, tho) Sure, Holly Summers and that magician dude were challenging, but I beat them both in a single playthrough.

[ChrenKlen]

nah bad girl aint tough, shinobuu on bitter is and jeane with out charged attacks. Henry's just fun to me :P

[SuperStickmanML13]

Dude, I found Shinobu on Bitter very easy (except the stream of Sonic Swords, but once you're past that it's simple). And I never use charged attacks because I'm chickenshit at them. Jeane was VERY easy for me, except on Bitter, where she took me 3 goes. Henry is just fun to me as well though. Except on Bitter, where he's probably the greatest test of skill in any game I've played yet. I was kinda sad when I beat him though, cuz I knew there was no game left. I've left my heart in Santa Destroy.

[ChrenKlen]

yh im just talking about all of them on bitter i dont any lower than that cos i find it boring.but with henry you can only beat him with one route. Guard most of his attacks then darkstep and suplex him when you get the chance, and attack after most attacks :D NO MORE HEROES COMPLETELY HOOKED ME ON MY WII COS IT WAS MY FIRTST GAME <3 NMH forever hehe :D

[SuperStickmanML13]

I didn't think Bitter was too big a step up from Mild. Maybe the difficulty curve just eased me into it. I found a trick with Henry; if you wait until he's finished his wave-sword-around-and-strike-t­hree-times routine and then beat the shit outta him until he blocks you, he'll just keep doing that same attack until you run out of battery charge. He doesn't give you much breathing room, so it's hard to charge. Just hit him a few times then escape, and he'll do the other, less powerful attacks. =)

[ChrenKlen]

i watched a routine someone made to defeat henry but you gotta stick to it cos its pretty effective henry is more fun that way. whats your favourite wrestling move? mines when you spin the nunchuk and wii remote :)

[SuperStickmanML13]

Can't remember the motions, but I like the one where Travis gets behind Unfortunate Retard, gets him in sort of a bear hug, then lifts him over his head and deposits him behind him. I just thought it was SO AWESOME. Bullet time in the sequel looks cool tho. :)

[ChrenKlen]

yh and using two katanas as well, do you know about the estacy gauge in nmh2? :)

[SuperStickmanML13]

TELL!

[ChrenKlen]

OK its the tiger in the bottom right part of the screen, theres a video with an interview when they show the effects of it on travis.he can become a tiger as welll i think with the ecstacy gauge. it builds up with combos and attacks and goes down the more he is damaged :D

[SuperStickmanML13]

So they've tweaked it for the better. Cool. :)

[SyxxPunk]

That my friend, is what is called a German Suplex.

[keybladeblastcalibur]

well i guess it will all be good once the second one comes out!

[kuchie16]

okay, maybe this is really ignorant of me, because everyone says it is "Ubonihs", but for some reason, i only hear the word "noise" and then i hear sound clips of random noises, leading me to believe that the word being said is indeed "noise".. am i crazy??

[mattblack666]

When is NMH2 coming out??
