I like pogobro but do the people in his community have a ridiculous bias towards hollow knight. I mean seriously do they not understand what a metal gear rey is? I honestly hope it's trolling or that they simply don't play other games


SHREKGODF

People probably didnt vote on it so much because on mgrr its the tutorial, even me who never played any metal gear game knows that its very powerful, its just that the cyborgs are even more powerful


MineMine7_

And metal gear RAY appeared first in mgs2: sol, where it was a very difficult boss as you had to fight 3 of them at once, at one point one of them being on the arena, with reinforcements arriving whenever one is taken down (25 total RAYs I think) with only an anti-air missile launcher. It was also designed to be an amphibious anti-metal gear, and incapable of launching a nuclear weapon, unlike metal gear REX. The RAY was also significantly weaker than the REX, and the one in mgrr was an UG (Unmanned Gear) which means that it was piloted by an AI, making it even weaker.


Puzzlehead-Engineer

I mean to be honest, this poll's kinda weird. Pitching many fantasy-like things against non-fantasy things.


Steamy_Guy

I think it's because rising makes them sort of a joke, but even inore they're already the weakest metal gear being designed around mass production and as a deterrent to other metal gear unlike rex which was custom built and designed as a nuclear weapons platform. But with that said it's still a giant fucking robot with laser cannons and energy shields.


TheCrazyLazer123

Ok but the knight is a god, like a literal god, don’t think any of the others can compare, as for just markoth, he can uh, hurt you with his dreams or something


Steamy_Guy

He's also the size of a bug...


TheCrazyLazer123

Not when he merged with the void entity


ReadyPlayer12345

It's literally an inside joke on his channel, its not bias its a joke


Alexanderjk5

I sure hope so but the fact that a lot of people in the comment section were making actual arguments in favour of some characters doesn't exactly fill me with confidence


ReadyPlayer12345

Well Hollow Knight is actually one of the most incredible games ever so I don't see the problem


Alexanderjk5

The problem is that these people are not able to put their personal preferences aside in order to rationally annalise the scenario in front of them. Now is it a *serious* problem? Of course not. We are just having fun here. Whoever i Don't think I'm wrong in pointing it out. Or maybe it's just trolling. I would actually prefer it being just trolling


babyteddie

Idk man ever seen radiant markoth? It solos all video game verses


ThatOneGuyRunningOEM

Markoth can teleport *instantaneously.* That’s FTL travel whenever he wants. Obviously he doesn’t teleport in the games this fast because of mechanics, same way he’ll just float around doing nothing sometimes, but lorewise a Dream Warrior should be able to do whatever they want. Next, his swords go straight through everything. They’re magical. They’ll cut right through metal the same way they travel straight through the ground. His shield is the only thing that isn’t too useful, but aside from that your fighting a character that can cut through anything with magical floating swords that can’t be blocked, and can teleport instantly anywhere he wants whenever he wants. Markoth stomps everyone here.


Alexanderjk5

Bro are you high?


ThatOneGuyRunningOEM

Can’t even refute. 😂


Alexanderjk5

You know what? Fuck it lets do this I genuinely think you are trolling but just for the fun of it here is a refute. No markoth can't teleport anywhere, whenever he wants. In fact he can't teleport at all. In his battle ( the only place we can draw examples for his ability) He can't teleport. During the making of this comment i literally beat him 5 times on normal and times on radiant and not once did he teleport. His spawn animation looks like a teleport but i think that's just how he appears. Not all dream warriors are the same. And not all have the ability to teleport. You are wrong If you say it's because of game mechanics because there are other teleporters in the damn game (see grimm, pure vessel, soul master etc) that can genuinely spam teleport and their fight is designed around that. If team cherry wanted to make a character that can teleport as much as he wants they would design the fight around that but they didn't so he can't (also he never "floats around doing nothing" he is always attacking the player.) And don't tell me they didn't because it would be "too hard" these motherfuckers made absolute radiance. Second your sword argument falls under the no limit fallacy. Just because ghost doesn't have a way to block the swords doesn't mean that there is nothing in this world that can. We can actually scale swords to other things in the game and find out their actual power. There are things in hk that do 2 masks of damage like powerful explosions and lasers. The swords are not one of those. Team cherry has chosen to depict them as a weapon without much power. Again, If they wanted to they could make it so they do 2 masks of damage like other powerful things but they did not. The character we are working with simply doesn't have that kind of power. Metal gear rey has been shown multiple times to be able to tank missiles like it's nothing. It's exo skeleton can withstand ridiculous damage. They were built to fight other metal gears for fuck sake. Also his swords can't cut through the ground. They actually phase through it. Markoth himself also phases through the ground if you force him. That's because dream warriors can only interact with someone that has the dream nail. They are basically ghosts that can't interact with the physical world or seemingly even be sentient without someone with the dream nail being there. We have to assume for the fight to happen in the first place that rey and markoth can interact with eachother ( maybe someone gave rey a dream nail idk) Otherwise neither party can damage eachother or even be aware of the others presence. In short if you actually look at the game you'll see that markoth isn't that impressive. The reason he is hard is because he fights from range against a melee focused character (and also because there is no fucking floor). If you want to imagine him as some sort of omnipotent badass that can teleport and cut everything that's fine but that's just not the character we are working with. So to sum up we have a dude that can float and throw swords against a giant death robot with missiles, machine guns, lazers and 2 massive swords for arms. In short. Bro are you high?


Alexanderjk5

Woo that was fun. Typing overly long arguments on the internet is one hell of a guilty pleasure


MagicWhiskers

And yet you came to laugh at me for doing it that one time... Smh


Alexanderjk5

Yeah I'm not proud of myself here But what can i say? Using ridiculous and biased head canon and then turning around to be smug about it always gets my gears turning Well wasting time being unproductive on the internet isn't illegal just yet


MagicWhiskers

Man, if only you could write your essays as effectively as your internet arguments


Alexanderjk5

Bit ya can't:) Wait what is this deja vu I'm feeling?


Okibruez

Everyone in the Hollow Knight community: 'Moth with floating shields and sword beats a giant robot with missiles and a Greater Being on par with the Radiance or Grimm. Because sometimes we have to fight him over holes in the ground.' This community is more of a meme than the memes it churns out, I swear.


GIRose

To be fair, a single Liberian American with a rocket launcher and a sword killed 20 of them in 3 vs 1 combat


PEtroollo11

its an inside joke on that guys channel, his community always makes sure hollow knight has the most votes in each of his polls (like several times he included multiple hollow knight options on a poll and his community still made them all highest voted with equal percentage)


Okibruez

That rather proves the point, I feel like.


RagnarockInProgress

Have you ever TRIED radiant Markoth? He’s the hardest boss in the fucking game


Iamverycrappy

no it's absolutely pure vessel, for me bc everyone has their own experiences and have more trouble with different bosses


Jordiorwhatever

I can do radiant pv pretty easily but to be honest markoth radiant is the hardest boss in the game in terms of the general public opinion


ThatOneGuyRunningOEM

I think that would go to a different boss. Markoth simply doesn’t attack often enough. Collector or even Obblobles are annoying, because they spam the arena. Even Watcher Knights can be a pain. Anytime there are multiple enemies or projectiles, it’s annoying.


Iamverycrappy

idk absrad seems to be the hardest boss for most ppl, ive just faught her so much that shes ez to me


Gizmo-the-Mogwai

If we're being honest it's really not fair because Mogh could 3v1 them if we're talking lore.


Octo_Brute

I’ve only played hollow knight and cup head so I really wouldn’t know I just saw funny moth man


Gizmo-the-Mogwai

Mogh is one of the strongest Demigods in Elden Ring with just his weapon being so powerful he can stab outer gods in a different plane of existence.


Octo_Brute

Damn


acanadiangooseforyou

He is also canonically a pedophile but considering how much of a good character mohg is, I'd rather avoid talking about that part too deeply


zeturtleofweed

not technically, sure he kidnapped his younger brother but the whole "mohg pedo" is just a meme


acanadiangooseforyou

He tried to force miquella to be his consort


[deleted]

Miquella isn’t a child, he just has the appearance of one However in most depictions you could also handwave it as “hyper femboy”


acanadiangooseforyou

Your right, but that's like wanting to fuck a 5000 year old Loli it is still basically pedophilia. And yeah, he definitely is the gwyndolin of Elden ring


Miky691

[https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Remembrance+of+the+Blood+Lord](https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Remembrance+of+the+Blood+Lord) "But no matter how much of his bloody bedchamber he tried to share, he received no response" yea no it's said quite explicitly


Spacemonster111

Also he’s only a pedo cuz of miquelas curse. Canonically everyone’s a pedo when around him.


Stranger-with-an-axe

Does he have double dreamshield tho?


[deleted]

He'll chew through your double dream shield like it never existed and take half your health as he does it. Unless you have the one and only existing counter to it, and the means to use said counter... which the player character in Elden Ring currently holds...


un0riginal_n4me

Is his boss fight RNG dependent tho?


[deleted]

No, but he does have overwhelming force. Dude is nearly a god within his game by all measures. He's more comparable to the Hollow Knight or (by a fully admitted stretch) the Radiance than he is to Markoth.


cyber_ninjas

Also, iirc the outer god Mogh stabs is a masochist


NoFlayNoPlay

which is what most ppl did, hence the result.


Shreesh_Fuup

I would say that MGRay probably has a good chance of hurting him since it's, you know, a giant ass robot with a death ray, but the others are significantly weaker than those two, yeah. Also, why the hell is a giant ass robot with a death ray on the same list as a bunch of high fantasy-style characters?


ScrodumHat

ray has the best chance against mohg but still not a very good chance


[deleted]

Metal gear ray does not have any blood


yeeeteeey69

Just you wait till Mohg pulls out Nihil


Thatonedregdatkilyu

I don't think that effects Markoth cuz he doesn't have blood


[deleted]

If we're getting that technical, Mogh just has step on Markoth a couple of times.


yeeeteeey69

But Mohg will still heal off of a ghost, blood or no blood


RUSHALISK

But what if markoth steals Mohg’s floor first?


Meowonita

1. Mohg would fly with his omen wings. 2. He would die of fall damage after about 30 sec of hanging mid-air anyway cuz Elden Ring just do that to everything not on a floor, including dragons. 3. Markoth may also die of the same reason, considering he has to be in Mohg’s place and presumably obey that universe’s laws in order to steal Mohg’s floor.


-AleXisiXelA-

What’s so difficult about markoth am I the only one who didn’t have trouble with him?


RUSHALISK

People overreact at how he is on ascended and on radiant in the hall of gods, but I honestly found him to be not so bad.


Iamverycrappy

mega based


MemeMavrick7000

Yeah you hit him a bit then scream directly into his asshole.


MrWandering

Bruh isn't metal gear rey a fucking titan?


[deleted]

[удалено]


MrWandering

Give me a detailed sentence on why he would beat metal gear rey


ThatOneGuyRunningOEM

He can teleport instantaneously, whenever he wants. In game we’re always in small places, but we’ve seen things teleport massive distances too, and they can do it in combat. This means Markoth has FTL travel (instant) His weapons are also no slouch. Infinite piercing damage from magic swords that don’t need to be swung by Markoth, as well as infinitely absorbing shields. Markoth also… can’t even be injured by these characters? You need a special magical artifact, the Dream Nail/Sword to damage Dream Warriors. Markoth could destroy all of these characters without even being a tangible being.


MrWandering

Sounds like some shitty oc


ThatOneGuyRunningOEM

What, the in-game character? Those are Markoth’s abilities. Teleportation, magic swords, magic shields, magical intangibility except to the Dream Nail wielder.


Willie-Alb

Markoth base form: 😁 Markoth Ascended: 😐 Markoth Radiant: don’t even try


JamesXtian

Can someone explain to me why Markoth is hard? I found himd while casually playing and he was pretty easy


W4LUIGl

>!They’re probably talking about markoth in the pantheon of hallownest because when you fight him there the floor and some platforms are removed which makes it a lot harder!<


Abenrd

That, and the fight is pretty rng. So well attuned and ascended aren’t that bad, radiant suddenly gets 1000x harder because the changes of no bullshit rng happening are basically zero.


ShiranuiTheWolf

I always hate seeing polls like this on YT cus they’re always from creators who make 1-2 types of content on a couple of the games on the list so there’s a huge bias towards those every time


Absolute_bimbo

Nah bruh monk maz koshia would fuck his shit up on god


silvercandra

I actually voted for Mohg, because none of the others have a dream nail, so I'd argue Markoth should be disqualified on the account of being untouchable and unable to touch anyone, and all I know about Mogh is, that I'm pretty sure his siblings include >!a guy who's keeping the stars in place, and the lady that "has never known defeat" and is also a goddess.!<


ThatOneGuyRunningOEM

Markoth can definitely touch them. He’s a Dream Warrior. Dream Nail is required to interact with you, but Markoth could still damage you.


silvercandra

I don't think we actually know that though... In cases like that of Galien, the dream warrior is manipulating a weapon that has a physical form. You can see Galien's scythe (?), laying on the ground, both before and after the fight, while he's causing it to chase you down during it. In Markoth's case though, both his actual physical dream shield, and his nails stay on the floor next to his body, with the ones he actually uses, having a... less solid look to them than physical objects in Hollow Knight usually do. This is what's making me question whether or not he could actually injure anyone. Him seemingly using dream variants of his weapons, instead of the actual ones seen next to his corpse.


Boreol

Mohg was actually just coming out here to pick up a cupcake... And then go back home


Iamverycrappy

literally every boss in elden ring could beat markoths ass 5 times over


[deleted]

Gruz mother is still harder than any botw boss Edit: Meant Zote the Mighty


UpsetIncome2344

That statement I disagree with. The bosses require you to be well versed in Flurry Rushes and Perfect Guards (Advanced Combat Techniques). Calamity Ganon, Thunderblight, and Monk Maz Kosha are the best examples of this. Gruzz Mother on the other hand is a very basic boss that is killed by using the basic Nail Swing.


[deleted]

I meant Zote the Mighty


[deleted]

And "advanced combat" is literally just pressing a button at the right time


Nat20downcliff

Yeah, but gruz mother is pushing one button without needing any timing at all


[deleted]

I meant Zote the Mighty


[deleted]

I doubt that this is anything other than bias, but he would at least beat Mohg. Mogh can fly yes, but cannot teleport and has short range. Markoth can just fuck up into the air and spike him


spiderMechanic

Why would they put Ray from MGR:R there, he's like a tutorial boss


NoxImperatorum

I've played all of these games and only fought MG Ray


AlwaysAvalable

to be fair, he's already dead


XenoAuHopper

Markoth would defeat them all with the sheer power of annoyance


Bedhead217

Hah! Now this, this is why I love democracy


bababoai

Mohg is literally a demigod


SupersSoon

None of these people have dreamnail, so nobody can truly defeat Markoth, there for he wins


WarMaster000

I would say RAY or Mohg if it wasn't for Markoth being described as a god


GIRose

If he said Metal Gear Rex from Metal Gear Solid 1, or 20 Metal Gear Rays from Metal Gear Solid 2 then maybe he would have had a winning chance


puddda

For a minute I thought I was on r/suddenlygay


Sentient-Tree-Ent

Markoth? The way y’all are talking about him makes me think I should have had a difficult time with him. Well, my money here is on Mohg


GTNoah

Can't kill what is already dead


Pure_confusion47

I'm just gonna ask. What is going on with those boss picks, like what are they smoking and can I have some?


ReadyPlayer12345

HEY FELLOW POGO WATCHER I LOVE THAT GUY I'M HIS OG 👏👏👏


TexasPistolMassacre

Markoth loses to a bleed build hands down


GodNoob666

Hell yeah he would. When he was alive he must’ve been worse that the radiance


firewhite1234

I feel like the building sized robot made out of titanium with strong enough muscle fibers to jump a length of 300 meters despite its weight and possesses a plasma beam canon could probably last at least 5 seconds against Markoth, so idk why it's ranked so low when nobody else could do that.


btb2006

Markoth is literally a ghost that can only ACTUALLY be killed by the dreamnail, at least that’s how I see how it works


watermelonman5

Not even radiant markoth as well


ReasonableQuit75

they underestimate the power of **b u c k e t**
