A Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot player has beaten Beerus at one HP in just 45 second, a feat which many probably thought wouldn't be possible. Beerus acts as the boss of the game's first DLC, and it was reported that developers fought level 250 Beerus 10 times and only managed to win once.
Many criticized Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot for being too easy, as though the beginning of the game can prove to be somewhat challenging, players quickly ramp up in power and start easily defeating opponents. Beerus flipped that on its head, and provided fans with a true challenge for once.
Unfortunately for Beerus, Redditor YibbityFlibbity has the fight down pat and has managed to defeat Beerus in just 45 seconds while remaining at one HP the entire time. To make the feat even more impressive, this is done without the benefits of full course meals or other food boosts.
YibbityFlibbity takes on Beerus as Vegeta, who is arguably the stronger of the Super Saiyan Gods. The basic strategy is simple, spam the basic combo until Vegeta throws a volley of ki blasts. As soon as the ki blasts leave Vegeta's hands, use the vanish ability to restart the combo all over again. By repeating this, YibbityFlibbity is able to stun Beerus, no doubt with the aid of the increased stun damage know-how skills. After Beerus is stunned, they enter Surge and begin throwing a volley of Big Bang Attacks towards the God of Destruction.
While an opponent is stunned, the player deals more damage to them, but super attacks take longer as they start with an animation. Three fights are shown in the video above, and the time differences seem mostly based on how many Big Bang Attacks the player was able to get off without triggering the cutscene. Were YibbityFlibbity to eat full course meals before attempting this strategy, it could likely be completed even faster, although it is possible that Vegeta's damage would be too high and would cause Beerus to initiate his own barrage of attacks before becoming stunned.
Under normal circumstances, Beerus requires players to carefully examine his moves and learn how to dodge, block, or otherwise cancel out each and every one of them. He is both relentless and unpredictable, making it extremely difficult to beat Beerus. This strategy may come in handy for some, but it will likely take a few tries to get right.
