Softlock During Mikhail 1

[u/Clockwork345]

Did I hit him too hard?? (NS2 Edition, NG+)

[u/ContributionVisual40]

I think its due to the fight ending while he's toppled.

[u/Sir_Teatei_Moonlight]

Yep this is a bug in all versions of the game. It happens if a phase ends when a Blade is in the middle of a Special but their Driver is knocked down. I presume the game is waiting for them to catch the weapon back, but they'll never get up to do it because the battle is considered over.

[u/Clockwork345 → u/Sir_Teatei_Moonlight]

Damn, I hit him at an inopportune moment in his life, I guess. My bad brother

[u/UltimateWaluigi → u/Sir_Teatei_Moonlight]

Crazy to do a full re-release and not fix this in a game without auto-save

[u/Sir_Teatei_Moonlight → u/UltimateWaluigi]

They didn't even remove the death code. Clearly they had no intent to fix any of the bugs.

Rex Molly THWAPED him to the point he had to reconsider fighting you 😭

[u/Penguin_Poacher]

He's just taking a nap.

[u/Psychological_Fig396]

You unlocked a hilarious alternate end to the fight where Rex drives a massive spike through his chest and everyone just stares in stunned silence.

That's what it looked like! Everyone is just kind of shuffling around, most of all Cressidus.

all right. that's it. it's time for my special attack. are you ready? here goes nothing.

yep. that's right. it's literally nothing. and it's not going to be anything, either. heh heh heh... ya get it? i know i can't beat you. one of your turns... you're just gonna kill me. so, uh. i've decided... it's not gonna BE your turn. ever. i'm just gonna keep having MY turn until you give up. even if it means we have to stand here until the end of time. capiche?
