[QUOTE="nini200"][QUOTE="TheLoneMortal"] Yeah, SNK bosses make a lot of others look like pansies lol.1. Night Terror (Soul Calibur 3)
2. Orochi (KOF '97)
3. Parace L'sia (Arcana Heart 3)
4. Boss I-no (Guilty Gear #R)
5. Magaki (KOF XI)
Edit: Number 5 for mine isn't that hard. I just can't think of others at the moment to add.

Magaki is torture at first but once you learn how to get around his attacks, he becomes fairly simple. Mukai is actually tougher than Magaki. Yes, SNK bosses are unreal tough. I was thinking of putting Orochi on the list but I think Mizuchi was tougher than him personally. SNK final bosses are badly designed. Which is why they are hard. They basically give them more hit boxes against the player, and have them able to cancel out of attacks and read buttons like a legend. Fighting game final bosses I found fun were: 1.Dragon King 2.Shengsung 3.Gill 4.Dr.Wily 5.3D M.Bison Lol What? Badly Designed? Cancel out attacks against the player? LOL what in the world are you talking about?I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that Zero, Igniz and Mukai were badly designed especially due to them having Unlimited Power Gauges but that's also exactly why I didn't include them in my list.
Original Zero is in my list due to him being the most balanced form of Zero.
Now if you would've said they have more Defense and Offense, then I could agree with what you said but more hitboxes, cancel out of attacks is complete nonsense lol
Omega Rugal fights you straight up. So does Rugal 2002. No max Gauges or cancels against the player.
King Leo fights you straight up.
Kohryu is probably the closest in my list to being badly designed as you state. Hehas moves that the player can also do when he is chosen so whether you like it or not, he is a great boss. He just like I stated, has RIDICULOUS offense and defense.
Nightmare Geese is a Terror. He does read your commands like a legend but so does M. Bison, Shin Akuma and basically any boss on Street fighter. Last time I checked, you couldn't even play as the Special M. Bison from EX3 and he was badly designed and lets not even start on Shin Akuma.
I already explained Original Zero.

Heck I could go on, Kain from MOTW was greatly designed, so was Jazu, Silver, Neo Dio, Goenitz, Yuga The Destroyer, Shadow Asura (If you want to consider him a boss), and many more.
Now as I stated, SNK does have some poorly designed bosses as the ones I pointed out and others, but what fighting game company doesn't? And what fighting game was Dr. Wily a boss on?
