HAPPY PRIDE 2023, I'M TRANS I'M ACE I'M A LESBIAN AND THESE ARE MY PRIDE U-BOTS

y’know, like nya~

Sure! I've actually thought a lot about her bossfight even though it's not real cause it's fun 👍 So in-universe, Gauntlet Queen is a video game boss (though her game was never finished.) This game was a third person shooter with a dodgeroll, and most of the enemies and bosses would be using charging lasers, rockets, bombs and other dodge-able projectiles. Gauntletqueen is unique in that she's the only melee-only boss in the game.

Due to this, she is: Highly Resilient to (Energy) Bullets. She has one of the highest health pools in the game, not because she's actually one of the hardest bosses, but because unlike most bosses, she's always directly in your face and ready to be shot at, so she has a lot of health to compensate. When not attacking, she'll do a lot of strafing, weaving side to side with her gauntlets up to protect her face (doesn't actually reduce damage, just makes her harder to hit) and walking/running directly at you if you get too far away. Her attacks are always preceded with a stopping of her movement and taking a specific pose+speaking a specific voiceline. Most moves are simple charging punches, repeated punches etc, but she can also punch/stomp the ground for shockwaves that either radiate from her position or shoot out towards the player.

Starting with the second phase, she'll really get into the spirit of things, and many of her attacks will gain new properties, bigger shockwaves, more reach with her punches etc. She also starts using her most powerful move, that being a big jump into the air above the middle of the arena, landing with a huge fist slam rocking the whole arena. She also gains a unique move where she rushes the player character, arms outstretched for a bigger hitbox, easily picks them up by the collar, holds her up for a moment while giggling/laughing in excitement, then uses her other hand to punch her across the arena, after which it takes the player a moment to get up, potentially leaving them open for a second attack. It's a powerful move that's got a longer windup than most moves so it's relatively easy to dodge, but very punishing if you fail.

It's not the longest of fights but it's much more intense than most of the other bosses due to GQ's close proximity and high speed, rather than the usual dipshit on a mounted turret or slow-moving mech.

Crowd shots hard!! It doesn't look like it'd be that much but this angle doesn't show the whole crowd.

Presenting the Outlaw Vtuber, the Low-Poly Cow-Poke, the most Unbeatable Boss in all the Wild West:

The Illegal Dairy Queen!

My favourite details are the Gauntlet Queen logo upon her bolas tie, the zigzag from GQ’s original design being incorporated as the belt upon her hat, and the McDonald’s Denim used in her skirt.
