Fighting Game Bosses 186. Samurai Shodown VI - Demon Gaoh boss battle

This guy is a pain if you try to fight him normally. He has several seriously annoying attacks: his spear lunge now has a slight backdash with invincibility frames, diagonal slash that reaches behind him and a fire sweeping attack that does a lot of chip damage and is hard to jump over safely. But the worst attack is his Super, where he jumps off-screen and rides in on a hellish horse that takes about 4/5 of the screen in height and moves incredibly fast. If you get hit by it, your weapon will be destroyed. But wait, THERE'S MORE! Demon Gaoh can actually JUGGLE YOU BETWEEN HIS ATTACKS. Yes. That includes Specials and Super. It's not rare to get hit by his normal, then get comboed into fire sweep AND THEN GET HIT BY HIS SUPER ALL IN A ROW. However, the difficulty falls apart when you realize that he is seriously susceptible to grabs. You can easily get him into a loop of throwing projectiles (or Mamahaha in my case) at him, hitting him on wake-up and catching him with a grab if he teleports. #SamuraiShodownVI #DemonGaoh #SNK
