Megaman Zero 4 - EX Craft (2nd Encounter | No Damage/Chips/Elves/EX Skills, Saber Only)

Craft is something else, as far as Megaman Zero bosses go, and is easily a favourite of mine that defines MMZ4 and, in my opinion, honestly makes it take the place of the best MMZ game. Craft is an incredibly tricky boss to get used to, emerging as a significant difficulty spike that can catch a first-time player off guard and really do a number on them, something I can attest to as I spent quite a bit of time on the first encounter in Area Zero on my blind playthrough. In spite of the difficulty spike, however, his wide variety of attacks and his quick, unpredictable patterns are still balanced just right to where the difficulty of these particular boss encounters work perfectly without becoming completely unfair, simultaneously making the fights remain interesting by keeping the player on their toes. All in all, Craft is a paradoxically frustrating joy to fight that somehow even made the multiple failed takes for this 'no-damage' run a blast to get through.
