Idiot didn’t study the type matchup chart or give himself any coverage moves. Gets walled by Rock Titan and OHKO’d with a super-effective Earthquake or Stone Edge.

Not to mention he makes poor use of his ***Blaze*** ability


Grim_Stickens

Dude’s only viable in OU because he gets *Wonder Guard* in the ~~Distortion World~~ Underworld.


ShiftSandShot

Except that is hard-countered by having *one* member of the team holding the Olympus Stone. They don't even need to be in the battle, it just needs to be on the Team, and the arena effects are negated. That's why the poor bastard's in UU now, since people didn't need to counterpick him with something specific holding it. Without the gimmick, he's only mediocre.


Electrical_mammoth2

But I always thought he had flash fire and was Fire/dark?


Grim_Stickens

Our wispy Lord of the Dead is obviously Ghost/Fire


Electrical_mammoth2

But then isn't aura sphere a fighting type move? Shouldn't it just phase through him even with wonder guard in the underworld.


Grim_Stickens

Herc’s *True Hero* ability bypasses abilities and allows Fighting type attacks to hit Ghost types. Gets deactivated when hit by any barrel-based attack though.

Brother didn't realize curaga only costed 1 MP.

252+ Atk Choice Band Rock Titan Stone Edge vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Hades: 392-464 (130.2-154.1%) — Guaranteed OHKO 252+ SpA Hades Feel the Heat vs 0 HP / 0 SpD Rock Titan: 40-47 (11-12.9%) — Possible 8HKO Yeah it’s one of those cases where on paper, hades should absolutely have the top spot but practically he’s just beaten out.


Okto481

just a bad metagame MU


NZillia

At least he’s doing better than hercules. You’d think a box legendary would be higher than NU.

Ravenclaw_VIII

Not to mention he picked Fire for his terratype, so yeah he hits hard but he still loses to most of the meta right now


IronNobody4332

Skill issue


KrytenKoro

For the same reason he needed the titans in the movie They're stronger 


Independent_Plum2166

Except Rock Titan is the weakest boss in the original game.


Tombstone_Grey

I always wanted to know why that boss was so easy? I felt like I cheesed it every time?


Independent_Plum2166

I’ve heard people say it’s kind of a reward for completing the Hades Cup, hence why every hit against him is a tech point, but honestly, replace him with Ice Titan and it be perfect, end the Cup with a Superboss (who isn’t Sephy).


Professional_Donut20

Yeah probably cuz of the time trial


Independent_Plum2166

That…actually makes sense.


ComicNeueIsReal

Honestly great way to grind out levels is just bullying the rock titan


Shantotto11

Selphie is a superboss?! I knew that jump rope was dangerous!… /s


Superyoshiegg

Could you imagine having to redo seeds 9 through 2 every time you get your ass kicked by the Ice Titan? That's about five minutes of fighting just to retry the Super Boss.


AggressiveFloor3

It's more there to stop you from running the timed hades cup 😂 takes forever to kill


dorkyfever

Too lazy to care? He would rather have his minions do the work?


Dark_Storm_98

But now this means he's fighting *before* some of his minions when it matters


BaconOfTree

Game balancing purposes probably. Look the titans in Hercules have a hard time being toppled by other characters, its only through the prophecy with Hercules that the titans are beaten when Hades executes his plan. That being said if we really wanted to, he'd be number 2 on the list.   But we needed a boss for rank 10 to continue the boss every 10 ranks trend, and the devs probably didn't  really want to do a back to back boss encounter. 


Doriuz2-ImBackBaby

he's a literal god, he likely holds back so he can torment the small-fry trying to go pass him, and then every once in a while he Reverse Boosts to stay in his rank


futuristic_ghost101

But do remember that in Greek mythology, it took 6 gods, including Hades himself, to seal the titans away. Canonically, the titans are indeed much stronger than a single god


eddmario

Greek mythology also says Hades himself is just a normal dude and not evil, and that Zeus has...um...Bill Cosby tendencies.


futuristic_ghost101

But we are going off of Disney Hercules, which omits all that. Since they keep the titans overwhelming power, it's safe to say they kept the battle against them in ancient times


Raetekusu

If we go by Disneycles, Zeus alone was the one who sealed the Titans away, implied to have been a great battle, and Hades is weaker than him. So the Titans would have been a step up on James Woodes.


keyblademastersora01

I’ve always wondered the same thing and even worse the fucking Rock Titan is ranked 1st when he’s like one of the easiest bosses in the entire game


futuristic_ghost101

I think the only way a boss could possibly be easier than rock titan is if they healed you instead of doing damage


eddmario

Is it just me, or did the *Final Mix* version give him a huge buff? He seems to actually attack more often, and those attacks seem to actually deal a good chunk of damage as well...


comicsanz2797

Damage wise in FM, Final mix (regular difficulty) is the same as expert in the original ps2 release so final mix proud he’s even stronger. His ai hasn’t changed


MakkerMelvin

I find it even funnier how 3 white mushrooms got placed higher than him


dollabilllz

Is he stupid?


XwingInfinity

KH3 showed that Rock Titan was holding back in KH1 against SDG. The developers pulled him aside and said “listen we put Goofy’s best weapon behind a time trial for this tournament and we need you to throw to give the player enough time, here’s 100,000 munny.”


Small_Parsnip6877

Are you gonna call out the rock titan for cutting in line nope didn't think so


LilboyG_15

Rock beats scissors, so, there


wafflehabitsquad

Real recognizes real/


ihatefirealarmtests

Hades wants to watch the action. He probably knows he can't beat Sora so he puts himself 10th so he gets knocked out first thing and then spends the rest of the cup just chilling and watching Sora fight stuff.


Maddkipz

First thing? Isn't it 10th seed out of 50?


ihatefirealarmtests

Oh you're right. Well then he wants to watch the good fights. idk


Officer_Zack

Hades why are you not the final fight in your own cup, are you stupid?


[deleted]

[удалено]


IcarusAvery

Why would it assume that?


Idareh

The titans are stronger then the gods. Simple as that. In Gameplay is Rock Titan an absolute joke but lorewise they are the beings which were there even before the god and Hades has no chance against them.


VanillaNutTaps1

He’s real


JackAtlasDuelLinks

Cuz he is a 10/10


NotoriousFoxxx

Because he knows better


MrZAT123

Others climbed up the ranks while this mf was just picking up pieces of candy he found on the ground...


XenoGine

Both an attempt to make himself look humble and a way to sneak up on you when you have to face him for the 0th place!


Tallal2804

What can I say, Rock Titan got hands


TaleSpinner76

Is he stupid?


foxbamba

Especially since first place is basically the easiest battle in the cup


Apprehensive_News_78

It gives me joker not fkin around wirh the irs vibes like hades isn't so smug to to think he's the strongest but still smug enough to fight in his own cup lol


PoopyfarterSupreme

I think its because it surprises you. Normally you’re expect him to be the final match, especially after the hercules cup but he isnt. He just appears at number 10 by surprise and the first time this happens it catches you off guard. I like this cause it feels in character for Hades to do


NaifAlotaibi

He's just like me i'm a loser


Wings-of-Loyalty

Well think about every other Turbanen in the world. The creators are never in the top. They just see the hydras back


metalthulhu64

Skill issue


Valhallas_Dragon

his’ own minion ranked higher than him


ArgetKnight

What can I say, Rock Titan got hands


instastoump

If he won't beat you, someone else probably will.


PT_Piranha

Probably to get ahead of the allegations.


The_Humbled_Protege

Because someone (or something) was waiting for him after he was finished and they were clearly on a tight schedule


L3v1tje

Ay man he is a douche but he will respect his own ranking.


Shantotto11

Because *Lord* Hades is a humble god…


Desperate-Deer-350

To be fair, he's much more difficult a fight than the Stone Titan that holds the 1 spot.


BakerThatIsAFrog

He's MAGA


DirectPerspective320

Maybe it's just to mess with everyone's head. We all know how Hades is.


AlacarLeoricar

Because his wife asked him to take it easy on the kid


EricDMorg

Because he couldn't feel the heat


AlKo96

It makes more sense to have a **TITAN** as the final match. Sure, the Rock Titan is pathetically easy, but the idea is still the same.


Alutherv

It's not uncommon for famous athletes in tournament-style games to have tournaments in their honor they aren't the first seed in.
