How exactly is he more challenging? I recently fought him multiple times to get endings I missed in my first playthrough at launch, but he didn’t really feel more challenging. First time through, he was definitely not designed well because he had no phases, and I think I dropped him with a single shot from Archangel or Johnny’s Malorian. In 2.0, he’s just kind of a bullet sponge? I probably couldn’t beat him on a higher difficulty than Normal, but he doesn’t exactly feel challenging, just cheap.

Yoooo that’s cool lol
Balrok99
Not really fan of that effect
Also that presentation probably doesn’t do justice to what they are trying to show here because all I saw was – weird controller movement, Adam dashes forward, V dashes backwards or sideways.
That spider tank thing looks better and is more challenging than Adam was, is and probably will be.

Can’t wait to beat this mofo for the third time

I guess now, on very hard mode, he will kill you in one hit

Looks cool, but in the video he still fights so stupidly. Charges towards you and does that same slow backfist slap, makes no sense. What is the point of using a sandy, turn it off, do a slow backhand slap that will always miss and then charge back off?
Just make him negate your sandy and charge at you quick and make him able to knock you on your ass and add a stomp, to encourage not getting close. Smasher with sandy has so much potential, but whats shown here is just the same old with a sandy animation. There are mods that make this fight way better, just take inspiration from them..

can i still one shot him with Synapse Burnout tho?

Ok, Smashers sandy has the effect. What about ours? I want to see myself ghosting behind like in the anime, comeon
jbres040202
Welp. Looks like I’m playing a fifth time
gannerhorn
Just in time for me to fight him for the first time!
jcreasy006
Is this only for smasher or will this be on other enemies who use a sandy as well?
the person playing the game is just walking back and he cant even hit them but hey he has new gimmicks now

This is such a different game on PC. It looks like a budget version on consoles 🙁

I love Edgerunners.
I love 2077.
I dont think *this* is all that good looking imo. Not that they implemented it bad, but 2077 is a bit more ‘gritty’ while Edgerunners is more of your over-the-top bright Trigger anime. The aesthetic just clashes for me, personally.

I just beat this game and was sad he didnt have a samdy, and that the sandy didnt have this effect. Time for round 3
ThisIsMySol
Honestly not sure how i feel about it. I loved the effect on Oda, and seeing this on him might make him less liked by me in terms of the aesthetic of going so fast you’re just a blur.
But I’ll just wait on my next playthrough to see how it is.

Makes sense that he moves faster than the Kiroshi frame rate so instead of seeing a blur you see just what tye kiroshis can pick up
Longest_Inch
Well that confuses me. He looks about the same speed but the effect through his shape off. Can’t wait to test it out.

That looks sick, what an awesome upgrade to what should be the coolest boss in the game.

I have so many mods (one that is actually now a part of this update!) that will break this update that im just gonna do a clean install.
