Persona 4 - Boss: Shadow Kuma "Battle" (P03/04)

[GameReloaded]

Did anyone notice that Shadow Teddie actualy is * SPOILER * Amano Sagiri? *SPOILER END*

In the Animation Narukami /Izanagi stabs that black ball inside Shadow Teddie. And Shadow Teddie is kinda talking like Amano , you know about "The truuth wil vanish in Fog" or something.

[Rubytyr]

Meh, call me a weeaboo, but i prefer the japanese voice-overs myself - but thats probably becuase its how I played it the first time through - I didnt even try the english copy till recently. Once you get used to a certain voice for a person, its strange to hear anything else~

[MrShadowRaccoon]

Hmm...the Japanese voices are actually very interesting since i'm so use to the English voices.

[OGBHFF]

OMG!! RASENGAN xDD

[iYume143]

Shadow Teddy really brings nightmares to me o_o

[darkmegaman44]

did someone actually get hit by nihil hand? what does it do since guarding cancels it completely? im curious o.O

[CyrilCloutier]

@darkmegaman44 if you get hit by Nihil Hand you are knocked down and dizzy one shot.

[LegendaryLunchbox]

I ordered this game from Amazon the other day. It's supposed to be here sometime today! It looks awesome, and I love the rock-styled theme. It seems that Strange Journey wasn't the most accurate introduction to the SMT series.

[EternityMoon]

My god, Rise's Japanese voice is probably the most annoying thing I've ever heard in my life.

[anatanozomi]

ブフーラがあるのに、何でブフーを消せずに暴れまくりを消すんだ­？

[FinalGamerJames]

Holy DAMN what your Persona OSE did at 2:37, what was that attack again and how was it so powerful!?

[jr2nd]

@FinalGamerJames thats パワースラッシュ ie power-slash one of Ose's default moves, think Power gets it as well

[misterizman]

@jr2nd

Ose is Amaterasu/Okami? *shot*

[jr2nd]

@misterizman eh?

[misterizman]

@jr2nd

Cause he did Power Slash, which was a Celestial Brush Tech for Amaterasu.

[jr2nd]

@misterizman ooook... sooo yukiko's final persona Amaterasu does a secret move called "celestial brush"?

[misterizman]

@jr2nd

I meant Amaterasu from Okami.

[jr2nd]

@misterizman man your a confusing person lol

[TylightDark]

@jr2nd Not confusing at all.

[jr2nd]

@TylightDark whats more confusing is your reply after 2 months, and as i dont know what he meant by "Celestial Brush" as i've never heard if it before or the "Amaterasu from Okami"

[ultimashadic]

1:31 the first thing i thought was : Oh FUCK hes gonna falcon punch us!

[Zellig]

Japanese evil teddie sounds even creepier than his english voiced counterpart.

[chaseer23]

Its really an easy fight if you use Ganga as your Persona for this boss. It absorbs Ice, and if your Priestess S.Link is high enough, Ganga learns Mediarama which helps a lot for this fight.

Though first time I do this I used Rakshasha but when he used Mabufula I started to panic since hes weak to Ice, so I switched to Unicorn and try to stay alive. After finding out about using Ganga this boss has been made easy. :3

[IgnacioCryptmaw]

I run out of my SP while fighting Shadow Teddie (Kuma) last time and I dunno why my normal attack won't work, other party member all finished and I don't have any revival item or skill, that Shadow Teddie also cannot kill me while I absorb ice attack then it is a draw for a long long 30 minutes. Finally it kill me using some normal attack.

[RedikTrios]

Man Just hearing the boss theme song get's me pumped

[NekoSaiSai]

rakshasha ftw

[LoveBudgiies]

Woow you are good !

[NinjaStorm09]

would someone please tell me how to make Ose without having to do this :/

Emperor King Frost x Priestess High Pixie x Strength Rakshasa; Fool Decarabia x Fool Shiki-ouji

bufula+ice break+mind charge just won't do the trick

[Avalolz]

You really don't need Ose for this fight.

[M4pl3H3r0]

lol i did kanjis dungeon at lvl 20 with ease on normal :P

[gamer4ever9999]

i dont think that teddy is this hard all u gotta do is set yukiko on guard once he uses mind charge and every one guard before he uses nihill hand

[Floyd5642]

Shadow Kuma reminds me of Chuckie.

[xxRit00xx]

ur damn right with the eyes

[heehomaster]

It took me a couple of trys just to get his pattern down but after that he was cake

[Kororocks12]

Yousuke-Don't let it get out of that hole!

MC-WHAT?! Yousuke-Oh! Sorry. Was thinking about somethin else.

*Yousuke's mind* Yousuke's Mind- Man shadow rise was hot yet deadly. WOOF!

Kuma+MC and Party= PWNAGE!!!

[UchihaItachi505]

Shadow Teddie was fun!

I never struggled the first time I fought him though. Lv 33

[Myth3842]

I was like, "oh hey, that was an easy shadow" when I beat Rise...but I kinda knew something bad was going to happen because the shadows are not that easy...then I saw teddy's/kuma's shadow I was like, "ah fuck".

I also was at Lv. 31 with everyone, how I won is beyond me.

[ilyke2lol]

I beat him on level 31 too

xD

[GameReloaded]

@Myth3842

I was level 31 to. Wasnt THAT hard i think. Well everyone was dead expect MC but yeah..

[Dudecough]

@GameReloaded LOL

[pikapal45]

Damn. This quality of video + sound = pwnage :O

[Mokomokosama]

I have to say, I actually prefer the English voice overs. I feel like the voices suited the characters really well. And usually, I lean more towards the Japanese versions.

That's SAYING something. Great job on this one.

[MarkyVigoroth]

In reality, I was fine with the US voices (In fact, now that I got to know Chie better, her US voice fits her better!), yet, considering Shadow Teddie's eloquency, I prefered his Japanese voice...

[cyberithiro]

his voice is so powerful here... they could have made something equal in the us version

[jick6]

Wow, I have the English version and... I'd rather just have the JP voiceovers rather than the English ones. Except I heard that Kuma is twice as annoying in the JP versions.

[jick6]

This boss is probably the coolest looking boss ever haha.

Shadow Rise, Teddie and Naoto are probably the easiest bosses out of the main ones because they don't have any annoying attacks to quickly screw you over with. Like:

-Yukiko's Burn To Ashes

-Kanji's... Umm, I forgot what it was called, but it was a physical attack that hurt your whole party.

-Mitsuo's stupid Giga-whatever attack as "Mitsuo The Hero", and his ailment attacks.

The Heaven boss is kinda easy too for the same reason.

[Yarsh52]

I love this game, but I'm awful at the who fusing personas thing.

[Animefreak48312]

i swar if i fought this boss as a kid i would shit my pants look at its ITS TERRYFING (i think i spelled that rong lol)

[Darkdrako111]

I was surprised this boss was so much easier than the previous ones, like shadow yukiko and kanji, they took alot of tries. Evil Teddy doesn't have any menacing attacks at all. The super ball of hell actually gives you a free turn. Though the next dungeon got a bit harder for me

[focker27]

yeah the next boss...i had too die 2 times to understand his attacks and then kill him

[123anime321]

444? DieDieDie It happens like 2-3 times...

[fmp86]

Shadow of a shadow. Interesting.

[LynerxAurica]

im like 31 with MC here and actually almost beaten him up until MC died carrying my hope.

this game is supposedly easy,with follow up attacks and other stuffs before i realize the dungeon is not so high like P3 was and i have to go back to entrance, restart from 1st floor and on.

But i have to stop complaining.

Here comes Ultra grinding!!!

[theretroattractive]

LoL. the normal level for this battle would be '35' ^^ so that level was suggested. I was level 33 I had a hard time. XDD

[HydeHeart]

This will be the first persona game that I'm getting.

[RuneFox02]

sorry never mind I saw that you were level 36 at the end of the battle I posted before watching the whole video sorry.

[RuneFox02]

out of curiousity, what level were you when you fought teddie for I just beat this boss and it took so many tries and when I finally did beat him I had like 50 health left. I mean one hit would kill everyone but yosuke

[Albert07]

OSE Was Summoned haha cool

[noseeater14]

i think all the shadows look or have a resemble to the character persona

yuske = frog

chie = the body and head kinda look liek her persona

yukiko = her ersona kinda looks like a bird

kanji = big body small head like take-mickachu

rise = satelite face

kuma = eyes look empty like his persona is empty inside

naoto = her persona fly like her shadow

[potsh0t77]

No shit sherlock.

[noseeater14]

hey shut up im trying to be s mart for once

[Klyern]

dude, so there was no trick to beating kuma, I just have to get grinding 10 levels or so. that sucks, I can beat rise's shadow just fine.

[cragon3]

so whats the story behind Kumas shadow~?

[inuarma676]

and this is why lil bears shouldnt take steroids =O

[TB26]

I love the music. ^_^

[IchigoUnyuu]

ummmm...... if you didn't guard, do BAD things happen?

[DarkerGrey6314]

"Your mother plays card games in hell" excellent reference

[calitz87]

could some please explain the Yu-gi-oh the abridged seriesrefrence?

[nohopeless]

watch?v=a0C4kE-T1OE

for youtube or look up "Episode 20 The Rebexorcist"

[sonicthehedgehog211]

Kumas name in english is actually teddie wich isnt better i like kuma better than teddie!

[0i0w0e]

two shadows in a fight...more memories of persona 3? o.O

why kuma cant use that fucking attack of knockback the enemy!?

[sora4126]

Gyad, Kuma's so adorable, but this is gonna give me nightmares!

[theregadamix]

Does Any One Know How To Get The Japanese Version Of Persona 3 And 4 Is So Is There A Link Can Someone Tell Me?

[Astaroth6000]

Youd probably have to get it on Ebay or amazon. Also, i think persona 4 is ONLY in japanese.

[sora4126]

Until December 9 anyway.

[Gospeldude]

Typing Like This Is All The Rage!

[benjamincd]

Sh*t Kuma's english name is Teddie

[Darkdestroy]

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

[DragonFist2500]

well duh his name is kuma which means bear in english so they might call him teddy. Beside I think the bear thing looks cute so they should call him teddy!

[benjamincd]

i like more Kuma

[Terestrasz]

oh how dare they translate its name!

[DragonFist2500]

well they can't keep it as Kuma. Kuma is bear in english. They can't call him bear all the time.

[shadowsdogsok]

but they could just use kuma. they don't translate anyone elses

[FrostLizard]

I guess they did it because Kuma had a much more literal translation.... or something. Like it was less like a name, and more like a word.

[SirRamen]

I heard it has to do with a pun and his name, and his way of speaking (if you haven't noticed, he ends a lot of, if not all, of his sentences with -kuma).

[tman7776]

Kuma is the Japanese word for bear

[Gospeldude]

Hey, it's not like you'd want Kuma to say

"Yousuke is in trouble-bear!"

or something, now, do you?

[darkspire91]

Whoa...Someone call an exorcist.

[animehero402]

seems my comp still can't reply to comments so i'm gonna say that my earlier comment is directed to bajaynyangkut.

[Jaymonius]

"I know, I sent her there" says Kuma.

[oneupdawg]

I just hope this game is longer than p3:fes. shadow kuma looks like a real megaten twisted boss...just the music doesn't fit.

[ilovethesickness17]

that looks like the condemned 2 bear from hell. and thats a bigass bear.

[mikeymike360]

That is one intimidating looking boss.

[the13tharcana]

I take it that Rise is Hangedman, and Kuma is Strength?

[Roureem]

Their Shadows or their actual Arcana? Rise is Lovers and Kuma is Star. Their Shadows would be Lovers and Moon, respectively.

[the13tharcana]

OK. It's just that when I saw shadow Rise on that pole, and shadow Kuma's charged special, that's what came to my mind.

[TigerBlade22]

Shadow Kuma scares me a little @_@

[steelmanmanman3]

Me too

[BaoZakeruga]

A little!?!?!?

[proxy044]

holy shit! you gotta choose which skills you get rid off when you level up and learn some more on your other characters?

awesome!

[blacklugh]

i played the undeb version of p3, i want the undub version of p4 as well u.u

[iceninja2]

kuma's shadow was preety strong.

[yuukisama2001]

I tell you these boss fights look like they can make you cry. Use everything you have at your advantage or you're toast.

[jordan444jordan]

How much of the game is about defeating defeating peoples shadows?

[FeralFoxDemon]

congrats lol another shadow down. btw im thinking of importing this game but i only understand a little japanese (all hiragana, a few kanji and most katakana) so would you recommend it or just wait for the american version?

[flamecrysta]

just wait for it, since there's a lot of reading required for the social links, etc

[bajaynyangkut]

Just wait (patiently) til' December 9th

[animehero402]

but we can't this game is just too awesome that's why we're watching this.

[meirus]

YOU'LL BE THE FIRST TO DIE.

[XLightThief]

Dang, these video comments are full of Yugioh: The Abridged Series references. XD

[Persona275]

Great boss battle LL, you did heavy damage by debuff, buff your 2 main attackers, and using power charge.

[KuinSan]

Okay, so what the heck is this supposed to represent? I thought Kuma was like, HAPPY!

[lnc0]

i think it's cos with rise beeing the new suporter character, he feels like he's no longer any use to the team

[KyrisKenshin]

Thus why his shadow looks broken... or "incomplete" in which now feels... I think.

[TheRougeStallion]

He was happy cause he met people. In truth he's a shadow who was very lonely. So he turned himself into something that humans would like. He than hid his shadow abilities from the world which is where Shadow Kuma came from. That's also how he formed his persona.

[lnc0]

*sorta spoilers*

he can't be a shadow he appears in the real world soon after this battle O_o

[TheRougeStallion]

I'm aware of that. But he IS a shadow. learn japanese or check wiki either way they reveal that he's actually a lonely shadow looking for a friend

[lnc0]

to be hoenst i wouldn't trust wiki farther than i could throw... which i can't at all seeing how it isn't a hold object lol

well if what youe saying is right then why would his shadow apper now of all times? IIRC kanji tryed to stop kuma form going SSJ4 (is that right? lol) on rise's shadow so why would it show itself now?

[TheRougeStallion]

In truth the only thing on wiki thats trust worthy are games, movies, and music. as for shadow kuma. HE WAS HIDING IT! he was pressing back into the farthest part of his subconscious. But when he went "Super sayain" as you say. It weakened him enough to release shadow Kuma. Kuma in truth is a nice shadow who only wants friends. That's why he burned away so much energy when he stopped the satellite stripper. He didn't want to lose his friends. So he made sure the shadow was stopped.

[lnc0]

ahhhh that acualy makes more sense now lol thanks for clearing that up :)

[TheRougeStallion]

no prob dude. but seriously, wiki doesnt fuck up when it comes to games, music (as in bands and cds), and Movies. Those are actually the only things they get right

[lnc0]

yea most of the time it is but sometimes the fanboys can get to some of the articals lol i remeber once their was an uproar on the internet because it said on the SSBB wiki article that kefka was gonna be playable lol good times :D

[TheRougeStallion]

once the game comes out the gamers fix it up

[wiiboychris]

Speaking of SSBB, the japanese voice actor for the main character is the same voice actor of Lucario from the game and the movie!

[TheRougeStallion]

Shadow Kuma: GREEN WINDS! MY ONLY WEAKNESS! HOW DID YOU KNOW!?

[Twlightman]

your mother playes card games in hell.

[ReiKusanagi]

I wonder if Kanji might have this things' weakness (since it's something to consider when choosing party members the matter of attack element and elemental defenses.) Seems Rise is starting to take over for things. Btw have you been building up Ingazi, since I'm sure that being his inate persona has a few extra perks.

[TheRougeStallion]

Kuma's Persona weakness is fire. But you aren't allowed to exploit the weaknesses of your friends shadows. So this is kinda moot. Also Izanagi is quite useful, but he gets better once he evolves

[ReiKusanagi]

Ah... since I asked LL that due to how little he uses it and such. And figuring what new arcana his evolved verison is, it'd be strong.

[TheRougeStallion]

Yea The only persona that changes arcana, but no one knows how to do it. It says that you gotta max out the fool arcana but that didn't work for Steparu. So I have no idea

[Roureem]

Actually, I'm pretty sure his Persona is weak against lightning. Not sure about fire, but that'd be too unbalanced if that was true too.

[TheRougeStallion]

That's what I remember at least. I don't remember lightning knocking him down at any point. But I suppose LL can clear that up, ne?

[KayTeeArr]

Wow, this set of battles is the first time I've seen you using the physical skills. Pretty powerful... or is that just Charge at work?

Also, YOU'LL BE THE FIRST TO DIE

[MasterLL]

Charge and Attack Up and Defense Down at work.

[windscar18]

From the looks of it, mostly charge, but it does look like Physical has been bumped up to being at least nearly even with Magic (although not to Nocturne's "1 Crit Kills Everything" standard.) Then again, we haven't seen the end game Physicals yet, where Physical tends to fail the most, so it's somewhat of a moot point now.

[KazuyaItachi90]

wow dude... nice... lol at the dialogue...=P

[bajaynyangkut]

this boss is awful

[RhenCarbine]

Man, I don't see the point of that Charged attack that Shadow Kuma keeps on doing. For one, you get 1 free turn and 1 damage free turn so the boss just wastes 2 turns, I know that this is suppose to give players an advantage but does it always have to block the attack? Can't it at least do half damage?

[meirus]

They did that on purpose.

[Lonewulf321]

Kuma's shadow is Super Special Awesome.

[MasterLL]

But Kuma's Shadow can't screw the rules.. since it barely got money.

[Enum995]

LOL at YTAS reference

[meirus]

wuzzat?

[Lonewulf321]

Yu-gi-oh the Abridged Series.

[meirus]

Oh, duh. yeah, i knew that one.
