This strength serves more than me alone.
Well, the problem I have with the final boss at 9.0 difficulty is that someone on the development team seriously looked at Master Core and really thought: "You know what would be nice? If this thing could 0-to-death you with a single move that's impossible to escape once you fall into it. That'll sure be fun!"10) Final boss in classic mode on 7 or higher. F*** that. It's annoying. I can't even land back on stage most of the time. There's about a full second of time you have to attack before the bosses do their next move and usually you end up using that time trying to either recover or prepare for the next move they make. It's unenjoyable and because unlockables are just handed to you, not worth it in ANY way. Let's say you actually got to the end boss and defeated all its forms. Well that just means you get to do the STAGE BOSS. You probably only have one life, high damage and sure, there's a recovery item but only the one. It turns into this f***fest of you trying not to touch just about anything except some of the ground and a few platforms. If you get hit and sent flying at all, the camera locks in place and the edge of the screen becomes the kill zone until you regain control of yourself. And that one weakspot on the far right of the stage... I've fallen off the screen just trying to locate that thing. There's no reason to do this other than to say 'well at least I did it'.
I was playing as a really beefy and defensive custom Captain Falcon against the Sword transformation. Then, it did a series of moves that literally got me from 0 to about 69% and I got smashed to the blast line with no right to defend myself (Just to remind you: I think Cpt. Falcon weights 102 by default. He's actually pretty freaking heavy). I mean, even if I hadn't died, it still would've really sucked to go from a fresh new stock to kill percent in one single quick series of moves, especially since the Swords form is still its second-to-last transformation. If you're above 110% when you reach its final form, you might as well give up, you're not getting it unless you play ridiculously careful. And that still doesn't guarantee you squat.
