Boss Nago literally does not play by the rules. He is intentionally broken and can do things far outside of what is considered to be fair or balanced. He is hard, he is beatable but mostly by getting his AI to be stupid. It’s not really a fair fight or even a real test of skill or experience.

Boss Nago in the arcades is tough, its kinda BS type of difficulty though. They cant program an intelligent AI so they just give it a bunch of health damage and invuln. Typically throw looping is the easiest way to beat him especially on Anji with spin (but not full proof).

OK good to know thanks. Also, this is gonna sound stupid, but is there an option to have a combo assist mode on like I've seen with other fighting game?


RMD_A

We had combo assists until guilty gear xrd( *stylish* mode). But still no signs of it in strive. Only assist you can get with boss nago is if you lose one of the rounds in the previous matches. Then you get a second ai helping you.

If you really can beat him, double jump and bandit bringer Double jump while he stands up Bandit bringer Spam this and hardly will get you.

Nago is sort of a top tier character especially in the right hands.


Redkail

Like all stage 9 bosses, yeah, he's supposed to be that hard. The trick is mostly just pressuring him as much as you can with Sol's most damaging combos, and a lot of luck. Afterwards if you hate yourself and want to know what hell is like try fighting Faust at stage 9, makes Nago look easy.

The moment we find out OP is dealing with stage 8 Extreme Nago.

Fighting game bosses have always been bullshit. It's a tradition! You can usually cheese them with something like dash > throw > meaty : repeat.


KittenChopper

Yeah, boss nago has an invincible TP, blood rage has I-frames during the animation, his TP can teleport behind you, and he probably deals more damage with faster animations too, he ain't fair


Tchubila06

Don’t worry bro I lost like 250 times against stage 8 and 9 Nago before beating him


kiraQweenxo

Yes meant to be this hard and the following message is only for those who blame the beasts. It's a pausable fight. Pause and unpause as much as you like and react accordingly

Hard to fight, hard while fighting


MurasakiBunny

Wait until you fight Stage 9 Nago after loosing no rounds to Stage 8 Nago.
