I can recall many opponents that have put up an amazing battle against my ordinary gaming skill.

Spoiler:

This is one that pops up into my head, and I can still remember it as clear as day. The second boss from Crash Bandicoot Wrath of Cortex: Crunch - Water form, drowned and dominated me with his surperb strenght and speed. In the first file of this game I easily defeated him without any trouble. Which now I can say, looking back was a fluke. Since I decided to restart my first file I soon faced him again, to be totaly crushed. By the way, the aim of this boss is to reach him and spin him, getting to him by the means of floating stone panels that would sink if you stood on them for to long. He would often send out lazers that you'd have to jump over testing your speed, timing and hand-eye co-ordination.

I'll post more soon, but right now I can't be bothered since I only got back from the Royal Melbourne Show about a couple of hours ago. ..STILL Exhausted. XD

The final boss in Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess...he's s beast you fight not once nor twice and not even three times but FOUR times!
First when he possess Zelda
Second when he turns into beast form
Third fight him while horse back riding
Fourth head to head swordplay
Only if he was a a lot harder than it would've been more epic.

-Safer-Sephiroth in my first run of Final Fantasy VII when I was ten. I lost countless times; didn't have Omnislash or KOTR.
-Blue at the end of Pokemon Red when I was, again, ten. That was hard. Really hard. My heart was going.
-Lance at the end of Crystal in my last playthrough. My weakest against his Charizard. I won when his attack missed.

I remember one epic battle against our rival in Pokemon Leafgreen that I only one due to a well timed use of an X-Attack. I kept losing to him, and I almost was ready to give up, when I remember I had an X-Attack, and figured "hey, why not?" BOOM Next thing I knew, I was watching the credits. I don;t remember what my team was, but I never looked at X-Attacks as useless again. :D

SKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITH.

Also, Youmu Konpaku. That got REAL, yo.


But... yeah. Skeith, probably. It was my first real "OH NOES, OH NOES, OH NOOOOOOEEEES!" boss fight.

I was scared, and on the edge of my seat.

I cheered when I won.

It was a good day for the free world.

Hal the boss fights from Metroid Prime fit the title of "most epic ever", but my personal favorite goes to Omega Pirate for being perhaps the biggest and most challenging of the bunch. My first run through the game took me upwards of ten tries to kill him, but in recent playthroughs, I can kill him in one "cycle". :D

Fighting Ganon in Ocarina of Time was epic. I was standing up so that I could see (my tv was positioned weird, so dark games were hard to see) and I kept screaming "GET OFFA ME!!!" and "THIS IS MY LAST POTION!!" and "GIMME YOUR TAIL!!!"

Epic stuff, epic stuff. My brother and sister were amused, and slightly frightened, I'm sure.

Hmm...

Spoiler:



I haven't beaten Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess yet (left off in City In The Sky), but the boss battle against Twilit Fossil Stallord (within Arbiter's Ground) was awesome. Tension rose especially when this music was playing. :D Factor in quicksand, (fire?) blasts, and some weird...things called Staltroops, and you've got a great fight on your hands. Multiplied twofold in the battle's "second half" :rambo:

(Surprisingly, the battle was made more infuriating in that I had a power outage right after I had defeated Stallord, except that I did not get to the saving sequence in time. :cer_cry: :cer_pissed: Cue unfortunate frustrating rematch against Stallord.)

And the stupid Twilit Mace Knight (within Snowpeak Mansion/Ruins)...when I got to his room, I noticed the Clawshot targets; I just didn't know I'd need to use them in rapid succession... The Mace Knight was the first (and currently only) demiboss I've lost to in the game. No demiboss or boss so far has given me so much trouble that I would have to rely on my potions/soup more than usual! The Mace Knight also has been the only boss that's taken me more than one attempt to defeat (which really made me mad :cer_pissed:); thankfully, I triumphed on the second attempt.
Only with later research did I notice that the Mortal Draw is equally as viable as other tactics... :cer_cry:

-----

Champions Steven Stone, Wallace (Pokemon Sapphire, Emerald respectively) and Gary "MF-ing" Oak (Pokemon FireRed) were awesome battles as well, especially Kanto Elite 4 Second Wave.

My two more memorable Pokemon battles, though, were:

1. In a tough Lv. 100 Battle Tower match, it seriously looked like I was about to lose so I was millimeters away from moving my Game Boy Advance SP's power switch and shutting off the system. But I decided "True Pokemon Trainers don't give up," so I stuck it through and let the battle play out. Due to an unexpected turn of events, I actually won! :cer_boogie: Granted, I advanced a few more sets and my streak was sadly broken later on... Still, that one battle truly taught me the meaning of "Never give up, never surrender!"
Even if all hope seems lost in a battle, do not turn off the system. Stick it through. ;) (unless it's one of those Gen III 'endless' Wobuffet Shadow Tag matches or a match where both Pokemon are holding Leftovers, have maximum evasion, have Paralysis, and are using Struggle. Then you might consider turning the game off, since those can drag out for a long (understatement) time.

2. I finally advanced past the 56th Trainer in Double Battles last summer thanks to a Jolly Flygon that decimated the opposition! :cer_boogie: (and is now nicknamed Trump Card :D). Earning those Victory Ribbons was such a cherished moment (especially after all the computer Trainers spammed Metagross like there was no tomorrow! :cer_pissed:) The battle was so memorable, I recorded over a Frontier Brain battle just to remember the achievement that appeared to be merely a distant goal for so long...

-----

And in Super Smash Bros. Brawl...Subspace Army Leader Tabuu :pink_pissed: Stupid Off-Waves of 1HKO-ness... Of all the game's bosses, this one was a PAIN. I wanted to complete the game without online help, but this one boss made me consult SmashWiki for a strategy. Thank goodness for roll-dodging! :) I haven't tried defeating him on Intense, but I figure that'll be quite a challenge... :/ Still, whittling down the HP of the Master of Subspace who was responsible for most of the crap the Smash Brotherhood had to endure is no easy task... Such an awesome battle, and even a more relished victory! :D

EDIT: Almost forgot, Cyclopsis, the last boss from the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers videogame (Sega Game Gear version)... Always loved facing him, after going through several narrowly escaped fights just to reach him...!

EDIT 2: How could I forget Omega and Shinryu of Final Fantasy 1 & 2: Dawn of Souls. The latter was extremely tough, but Omega was in a whole other league. Well over 30+ full battles/attempts before I was able to fell the abomination... Probably one of the most cherished victories in gaming history...!

TWEWY's Panthera Cantus on Ultimate. Dang, he's the hardest boss in the entire game. I didn't want to use OverthetopJuggling so I faced off against the beast with my ordinary pin set and maxed stats. Dayum, that battle was hard as.

It was such an awesome feeling after eventually destroying him. My friends were like "WTF" because they all had to uber-juggle him whereas I was pseudo-juggling while using my partner, something neither of them did. :D 'twas awesome.
Everything ends,
and that's always sad.
But everything begins again, too,
and that's always happy.

The last video games I played were from the GBA/PSP, so these were probably the "greatest fight" I have ever been in:
Final Fantasy 4 Advance - Zeromus, Lunar Ruins Bosses, Zeromus EG (lol, Zeromus becomes tiny/pig/etc)
Final Fantasy 5 Advance - All Gilgamesh battles (especially the one on the Big Bridge :D), final Exdeath battle
Final Fantasy Tactics Advance - SSCC (Archer), the final boss' name that I have forgotten.
Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions - Pretty much every battles except for random battles.
Final Fantasy 7: Crisis Core - Genesis, Angeal, Monster Angeal, All Summons, Sephiroth, the final battle against many, many, many, MANY Shinra soldiers.
Final Fantasy Dissidia - I really don't know. :(

Yeah, those were FF games. You can't blame me being a FFTard. :P
For some reason, I want to play FF4 and 5 again. x_x

In single player, I loved fighting Bowser in the Mario Galaxy games. Fighting Lu Bu in the Dynasty Warrior games when your chosen character is still weak and managing to beat him on a hard setting is pure bliss.

In multiplayer, had two crackers, one in WWF No Mercy and one in WWE Smackdown Vs. Raw 2007/2008 (Can't remember which one).

In No Mercy, me and two mates had a triple threat match using our created characters that lasted some time, and it pretty much had everything (Finishers galore, tables being busted, back stage fighting, cheese being thrown, stairs thrown, caught and returned to original thrower, etc.). You name it, it was done. Unfortunately, the match finished a bit easy, as I had my finisher up, and one of my mates legged it out of the ring. Cue Tazzmission and a tap out.

In Smackdown, me and three others had a money in the bank ladder match (So we also had two CPU's as well). It was such a well fought contest that this lasted about 2 hours with the case only half empty before one of my mates gave up. The match was won shortly after by me.

Oh! I remember fighting Wallace in Emerald. God, his Ludicolo just kept using Leech seed and Double Team. Fighting Candace in Pearl, I didn't beat her, the snow did and fighting Cynthia. If her Garchomp did not destroy my team, her Milotic will.

In Twewy, was even more headache inducing, especially the last day. Konishi is a witch, and so is Megumi. not to mention Joshua.

In Devil Survivor, EVERY FRICKIN SINGLE EFFING STORYMODE FIGHT GOT ME PULLING OUT MY HAIRS. Don't even mention all the Bels. ffffffffffffffffff!

Yu-Gi-Oh 5ds, why does Boss battles are super easy and that normal duelist are effing hard? the programmers made a mistake!

Every boss battles I won was pure luck, so yeah, in turn, it was a great fight. Considering that i manage to beat ALL of them, and I'm not lying, with pure luck and my character going to be dead on the next turn.
