Part II.
Individual boss comments:
Blizzard Wolfang: REALIZE IT'S NOT 'WOLFGANG' AND WATCH YOUR WORLD BREAK APART!
Or just not have been a blind idiot like me for eight years, I dunno.
Wolfang is an absolute joke, as usual, until the icicle attack. Then, my friend, you are at the mercy of luck. Wondering why I don't show it off more? I CAN'T show it off. In excess, it is by all counts unavoidable without dashing.
Ground Scaravich: When I'm fighting this reject, my extreme boredom will sometimes force me towards bizarre suppositions into the twisted life behind a defunct mind that history forgot. The story of a diminutive reploid who spends his lonely days stalking stray dogs, obese construction workers and the Porta Potties that define them, bean-fueled redneck families fucking about in their septic tank on wheels... always gunning for that precious brown gold that drives his perverted obsession. Cursed by a sadistic creator with the urges of his humiliating inspiration, he sits there rotting in his fecal wonderland, constructing towering monuments that would make the very gods cry, if not for the right reasons. Soiled, stricken, he awaits the day his off-blue savior will deliver him from a smelly, ineludible hell.
Hold on, I'm going to talk this through with a publisher...
Shield Sheldon: I'm sure with a name like Sheldon he knocks them girls dead.
It's probably evident not everything is in tune with reality when Shield Sheldon becomes one of the most complicated problems in the challenge. This might be related to the fact that my pets have started bleeding out the eyes and speaking Latin backwards, but I'll investigate that later.
Shield Sheldon poses a very alarming trait: he has an attack which is absolutely impossible to fully avoid without the dash, in the form of his four guard shells. You will never NOT see it, so the remaining option is to kill him before he uses or traps you with it. However, past half health, he ALWAYS initiates it upon completing his current attack, which doesn't leave you enough time to fully deplete his health before you are cornered, no matter how perfectly you fire.
The solution spent a long time emerging, believe me. The trick comes in a very specific manipulation of his patterns and health to essentially force two extra charged shots off his bar before he actually gets to initiate the four guard shells. This works because certain patterns offer more opportunity to hit him than others before completing themselves. It earns its weight in luck, though.
Infinity Mijinion: *breathes*
You've been waiting for this one.
You'd best believe this is easily the hardest thing in this challenge. If Mijinion is unpredictable normally, then eliminating your option of reliably escaping unforeseeable situations through dashing unleashes utter chaos. This fight is so beyond description that barking out details is pointless. You've already heard them countless times during every fight I've ever had with this bastard. Take those traits, and add the impossible: as opposed to react, you now need to plan.
This battle plays out through pattern and repetition. Being forced to approach Mijinion as such, and with a dependable strategy, brought me back to day one of all this nonsense. All my foundation for this fight became useless. I needed to build everything seen in this successful battle from scratch. How to react, how to predict, how to manipulate, how to surpass. All of it was as hard here as it was the first time I ever looked at the bastard and asked myself 'is this possible?', way the fuck back.
I hope you appreciate this battle. To date, of all the countless bosses I've fought under all the many circumstances, he still holds as the hardest by a wide margin.
Nightmare Mother: One of these days I will achieve Nirvana and become one with the programming of this game. Until that day comes, X will never be able to approach this without the dash. He can't even approach it WITH the dash, he needs parts. So to maintain the challenge, we need to turn to Zero.
I've already ranted about every iota of this fucker's unfair nonsense, and it doesn't ease up at all here. This is as horrendously luck driven, as well as precise, as always, with the added bonus of no dash making the precision required that much more unforgiving. Of course, even when dodging is harder it really doesn't matter much, because in the end the only time a fight with the Mother is going to be successful is when you pull off pure dumb luck. This wasn't particularly better or worse than it ever is. Meaning yeah, it was pretty fucking terrible.

@Smokazzi
Yeah, you're right. It's NightlifeDL by DukeLukeProd. I have no idea where I came up with this misconception. It was part of a nameless tracklist a friend passed on to me a while back. I must've gone extra retarded while tracking the source down. Sorry to misrepresent you like that.

what does masochistic mean
Zero100009 2 years ago
To put it bluntly, it means you derive pleasure out of suffering through inane bullshit like this. It's the only explanation I've come up with to explain why I bother making ridiculous videos.
