Favourite Boss Fight(s) of all time

What boss, what game and WHY? (please do not omit the last portion of this topic)

For me:

-The 3rd Crashbandicoot game for the PS, the N-Gin fight was soooo cool (well at the time it was)

-God of War II, fighting the statue in the very first level, hurting it on the outside only to gut it by solving puzzles (and more hurting)....great gameplay mechanic

Nothing too memorable for me from this gen yet but im always looking :)

So, what are your favourites? and why?

:)

good question

the first that comes to mind is the first time you fight magus in chronotrigger, it seemed like that fight took forever and i played it when it was brand new so the spells were like graphically out of this world and i loved it

metal gear solid, i think it was the original when you had to fight 3 metal gears at once, that was definitely intense and a holy crap moment

god of war, i'll never forget fighting the hydra in the first level that just set such a great pace for the game and being prompted to mash buttons at a certain time totally caught me off guard back then, totally sucked me into the game

this gen: in gaiden 2 fighting the two armadillos was pretty cool because there was so much stuff flying around the screen it was just crazy

Wow, I'm the first one to mention The Legend of Zelda. Hmm... what to say... There isn't a boss fight in Zelda I haven't liked.

Probably my favourite boss battle in the series is Goht from the Snowhead Temple in Majora's Mask.

The boss: The Great Mighty Poo

The game: Conkers Bad Fur Day

The reason: The only boss fight I've ever had where the boss sings interludes between you throwing toilet paper in his mouth. HILARIOUS song. youtube it if you have not played it

I think that one's automatically entered into the "Classic Boss Battles" Hall of Fame, along with Psycho Mantis and Necrosaro.

The naughty school girl who hits the Gimps at you in No More Heroes' is the greatest boss ever.

Raam in gears in insane

halo library level in legendary

God of War 2 - Zeus

Metroid Prime - Ridley

Star Fox(SNES) - Andros

Resident Evil 4 - Krauser

Resident Evil 3 - all battle with Nemesis

16-Bit bosses-I was never to into the SG, my console of choice was always a SNES but here's ten bosses, I remember the most.

1.Kefka-(He was the absolute epitome of evil, Sephiroth may have had his reasons for killing for Kefka killed people for the worst reason, he enjoyed it.

Sephiroth was nothing compared to Kewfka. Killing Aeris was sad and all but it was nothing compared to watching him become a God, then waking up alone in a dark, depressing world believing allof your charcaters are dead.)

2.M. Bison-This guy pissed me off, so much, he was so incredibly cheap and the things he did were also very evil.

3.Dracula-Getting to him, was a severe pain in the ass and beating him required some real gaming skills.

4.Sardius-If Dracula was a level twenty boss, Sardius would be a level fifty boss. This son of a ****, can only be killed with one weapon, that you can get

at the end of the game and you've gotta go through the freaking game twice to even reach him.

5.Ganon-Another classic boss, that is very memorable as is so many bosses in LttP

6.Lagoon's Last Boss-Maybe it's the fact magic spells can't be used, maybe it's the fact of how cheap the bosses are, maybe it's the fact that you must fight

six bosses in a row.

That's all I can come up with for you.

Either -

Old Snake vs. Laughing Octopus in MGS4

Old Snake vs. Raging Raven in MGS4

or Ratchet & Clank vs. Biobliterator in RaC: UYA

Non-final bosses:

1. The Politician from Prince of Persia (SNES). He was fat but very fast with his sword.

2. The Twin Sisters from Castlevania:Portrait of Ruin (DS). Their magic weapons and regular swords were on another level of deadly.

3. Dragon from Mega Man II (NES). Any dragon that takes up the whole screen and chases you through treacherous jumps has to make this list.

4. Cin Drallig from Star Wars Episode III:Revenge of the Sith (PS2). Very, very fast with his light saber and could move extremely quickly.

5. T-Rex from Tomb Raider:Anniversary Edition (X360). That big lizard looks awesome and has a mean bite to boot.

Final Bosses:

1. Dracula from Castlevania:Portrait of Ruin (DS). He & Death kick your butt multiple time in the form of human and dragon with some crazy attacks (especially the one where he uses his wings to crush you after he has taken dragon form).

2. Sarlac from Blackthorne (SNES & GBA). He has fire and electricity attacks while also using his statues to drop fire bombs on you.

3. Giant Statue from Devil May Cry 4 (X360). Both Nero and Dante have to enter and defeat this monstrosity that cannot be contained on even a dozen screens.

4. Giant Bird Robot from Metroid:Zero Mission (GBA). Fires homing missiles, lasers, and hits you with its claws all while only providing a very small vulnerability spot that you must hit with missiles.

5. Shredder from TMNT:The Arcade Game (NES & X360 Live Arcade). Splits into multiple Shredders and can kill you with one hit with his lighting bolt attack

That'd be Meta-Ridley.

My favorite boss fights would be, ummmm, Final Fantasy VI's and Final Fantasy VII's last boss fights. And then fighting ganondorf in the 3D Zeldas is usually epic.

Oh, and No More heroes does have some pretty cool fights! :D

Definitely all the god of war boss fight in 1 2 anf chains of olympus .

I just luv evrything abwt dem.

And it just makes me think how the god of war 3 bossfihts are goin to be like !!!!!

Hi All my favourite boss of all time is the Macron from Quake 2 beceause just when you think hes out for the count he gets back up and is back in the fight!

Bad Girl from No More Heroes

Indalescio(sp?) from Star Ocean 2

Kefka from FFVI

Krauser from RE4

The End from MGS3

Nemesis RE3(definitely deserves a spot seeing as I used to run off like a scared little girl whenever I heard "S.T.A.R.S.!")

One of the last bosses from Persona 4(won't mention names for sake of spoiling)

The bird Collossi in Shadow of the Collossus(I know it has a name but cant remember it)

Sigma from Mega Man X

Giant Bowser from SMW2: Yoshi's Island

Mother Brain from Super Metroid

Bad Girl from No More Heroes is probably my favorite boss of all time (though that game had nothing but great boss fights). The fight itself was a little tedius, but she was an incredible character. As someone who goes to a lot of comic/anime conventions, this Lolita gone very very very wrong was something that hit pretty close to home.

For the boss battle itself I really enjoyed Argorok the Dragon in the Sky Temple from Twilight Princess. It was a fantastic fight, and very different from any boss battle I'd fought before in any game.

A few of my favs are

M.Bison-My first gamer rage ever against this guy when I was like 10.

Illidan-Sigh...why did they kill him.

Last boss in Dead Space-That fight should go down in the books.

All of the colossus in shadow of the colossus
