Part II of III.
Individual boss comments:
Cubit Foxter: Okay, now we've gotten somewhere. Renamon has all sorts of manner in which to mess you up, and for once, there aren't really any cheap ways out other than to dodge like a mother. His (really, Capcom? Come off it.) EX attack is aggravating, although very telegraphed. Threading through those flames is a simple affair until you realize you've misjudged your jump and either plow into the second volley or land on an existing flame on the ground. His two attacks with those nine options are basically what you hope to see the entire battle. The homing one is cakewalk to dodge or even have a little fun with, and the fancy-ass encircling affair practically begs you to slash the metro apart. The biggun' is that move where she he into five large fireballs. For the life of me, I CANNOT figure out why this isn't his EX attack. It's painfully specific to dodge, lasts an eternity, and renders him invulnerable to attack.
Glacier Le Cactank: Still obsessing over the French, Inafune?
There's nothing whatsoever to say about the actual fight.
Volteel Biblio: I'd say 'see above', but this so-called boss is so damned pathetic he transcends the lack of need for ranting. I mean, what the hell were they going for? How could a rational person decide that this battle would be a hurdle to anyone who managed to get through the preceding stage... on Ultimate Mode in Cyberspace with full subtanks and moral support, no less? Who in their right mind would ever consider any attack given to this abomination a remote threat to anyone sapient enough to turn the game on in the first place? What possible plague befell the mind of the idiot who lent this waste product a voice actor?
Tretista Kelverian: This Cerberus-looking BAMF, on the other hand, is pretty cool. Check out that scowl. He's a dozen times the size of Zero, but unlike every other fatass in the franchise, it's to contain the strength, as opposed to pastries. He's so goddamn intense they had to give him a third life bar even though he's part of the normal bosses. And his fight's pretty challenging, too.
Baby Elves, Part 2: Probably should stop committing toddlers to battle, Weil. Not on any moral ground, but in the interest of being sporting.
Phantom: This is THE fight of this game. You don't get better than this. Phantom is a nightmare, and there's no two ways about it. He's the hardest thing in MMZ3 by about twenty leagues, and he looks cool while kicking your ass. This fight took a long time, not going to lie. His behaviors aren't exactly unscripted, but you don't exactly have proof positive of what he's going to do next either. He's so fast it barely matters anyway. Typically a surefire way to beat him, since his attacks do negligible damage, is to go Hulk on his ass and win a war of attrition. Completely avoiding hits in this battle, on the other hand, I do not recommend to people with a temper. Even if all the crap coming your way goes swimmingly, you can still get unlucky with that bullet hell shuriken he loves to toss about after his mirage attack. Good thing the fight is so fun, since I had to repeat it about two dozen damn times.
