It's no use, take this! It's no use, take this!... ad infinitum.

What are you saying? That's like the best and fairest boss battle ever! Easily one of the most broken boss battles ever made.

How about Bowser and Bowser Jr from New Super Mario Bros? That boss battle amounts to nothing more than killing Bowser jr for the 80th time, before running under bowser and hitting a switch. Fun... Not only is it the final boss, but its nearly identical to 2 earlier battles, one of which was in the same world!

Any boss fights that include puzzles. I prefer direct boss fights. I like to wail on enemies as opposed to doing some convoluted thing to make them able to be damaged.

Boss battles, boss battles...

I'd have to say some of my most annoying boss battles were in The Last Story, where I'd leave the game for months because of how frustrated I was. :(
I forget how emotions dance when they aren't inside of me
I forget how the sun feels when she isn't around me
And my dreams become sweeter when something is missing
I'm in love with the hunt itself
It makes me feel alive

I did not like last boss (hidden one) of Rayman Origins...
For a final boss she was really weak...

NOOOOOOOOOOO ;~;
How about this? It's no use, take this! This will end it! *cue sonic saying noooo~*


okay, my addition to this thread is the battle between you and Seija Kijin, from Touhou 14: Double Dealing Character. Not only does she shoot danmaku that..well, stops in front of you and goes down and stuff, but she FLIPS YOUR CONTROLS AND YOUR SCREEN...It's an evil trick, and gets me screaming at my monitor >:(

The sad thing is, she'll leave you with barely enough lives to battle what is probably one of the best final bosses in the Touhou series.

The ****ing Spider Ball Guardian from Metroid Prime 2. God I hate that thing. It's an all-Morph Ball fight. The Morph Ball is cool, yes, but not suited for intense, prolonged action. Its such a pain in the ass becasue it requires you to quickly and precisely do a series of bomb jumps to damage the boss after stunning it (which isn't the easiest thing either). And to make matters worse, there isn't a save point nearby. So if you lose, you gotta slog through the crap you just did to get back to the battle and then probably lose again.

Strange thing is, I have beaten it before (becaues I have beaten metroid Prime 2 at least twice). Don't know how I did it. Would be nice if I could remember...though it was probably just luck.

I really hate the Mantis boss from Secret of Mana. Every time I play, it ends up killing me (you can't really die though). He can lock on to you and execute un-dodgeable moves. But the thing that sucks, is the difficulty spike. He's the first freaking boss, and he's like ten minutes into the game.

Still not as bad as Silver though.

I took on the Cardinal in Final Fantasy Tactics while he was using the Scorpio brave stone. All his stats are "???" and he was casting Death Sentence, Sleep and hitting my units for 120. At first I assumed it was one of those boss fights where your scripted to lose. Just lemme tell you. I'm glad I thought that and still fought. Because if I had accepted that theory and just half-butted the fight. I would of gotten a gameover.

The second Eggman/Tails battle in Sonic Adventure 2. If the AI used the laser and you weren't in a good position you were dead. Many game overs were had with those fights.

This, I agree with. I had to go through everything getting there again so many times, I think I still remember the route.

As for me, Ganondorf at the end of Twilight Princess was a bit disappointing. By that, I mean the sword fight section of the battle. Sure it was epic, but it was too easy... Slash, mash A, slash, mash A some more, continue until dead. Mehhhhhhhhh.

I felt the same way. And Demise in Skyward Sword wasn't much better.

From Final Fantasy Tactics, Riovanes Castle Rooftop. Anyone who played this part, should know what I'm talking about.

Essentially, you have to protect a guest character (Rapha) from dying otherwise it's a game over, while taking out the three boss characters (Elmdore, Lettie, and Celia.). However, Rapha can easily die in one or two hits, from either boss characters, which I assure will always happen. This is extremely dependent on luck, by praying that the Rapha does something smart like running away instead of trying to attack the boss characters, or just having a high enough CT for your units so you can move faster than either boss characters.

It's not as bad as Siver, but there are many instances where Modern Eggman can just be extremely annoying and I'm not talking about him being broken or anything. They just record like 2 lines of boss diaolauge and then repeat it. over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over. I feel it was at it's worst in Sonic Adventure 1 and Shadow the Hedgehog. I still have the words GET A LOAD OF THIS! forever grained in my memory.

Scarecrow in Batman: Arkham Asylum sucked. You basically just navigated around trying not to get seen by him. Not only was it easy, it was also dull imo. Even the Joker in that game kinda sucked to fight. I'm glad the boss fights were revved up a bit for Batman: Arkham City.
