Metal Sonic Kai

[MissMajeure]

So let me first say that I died on the revamped Metal Sonic boss 5 times all thanks to this new third phase.

The difficulty is hard, most times I hit his core then I end up behind him and falling into the death pit where the path once was, and he shoots this laser wherever you are which makes hitting the core of the boss as hard as trying to actually get all Blue Sphere medals (in my case)

SEGA, I love this boss, but I don't enjoy it. Fix the bugs. Comment if you have had this same problem

Just spindash into the core, lose rings, rinse and repeat. Damage boost.

I literally mainly used the second A.I. Tails by controlling him to damage Metal Sonic Kai.

I lost evryone except tails when I played through encore. It's annoying that you can end up behind him with no way to escape and then fall through the floor.

Took me I think 5 continues to beat him, meanwhile I beat Reverie boss first try..

Think something is wrong here..

Use spin dashes to take him down, then you won't fall off :)

Bring back the old one so I can actually clear this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stage

I think it's funny how they nerf the OOZ 2 boss for being mechanically too difficult but then they add this boss which comes earlier and is even more mechanically difficult than OOZ was..

You know that Knuckles in Sonic 2 bug where he'd sometimes fall through into the death egg robot and die? This is basically that with Metal. Just you have rings, but the pit kills you anyway.

His arms can't damage you while he's flashing from being hit, so not sure why damage boosting is specified, but can't argue with the fact you can just spindash spam him to death because of the impact sending you all the way back to the right. Hell, Sonic's drop dash -destroys- him, but all the characters have the same easy-kill;

If anything, it feels like they gimped Metal's fight pretty hard considering what kind of stubborn rival boss you expect him to be. You don't have the spike wall for an unkillable crutch, but it's a much slower paced and predictable boss now.

I don’t like how jumping on it essentially forces you into an instant death you’d think you’d be able to prevent.

I also personally think that they should have flipped it where Metal is on the right side of the screen moving left, because turning around and spin/dropdashing wasn’t my first thought. Also Sonic is constantly moving right in the fight and Metal should be trying to oppose the direction you want to go, but whatever.
