list the toughest boss battles you\'ve ever had..

[clips]

i have a huge list,..& it\'s just not for current systems, i mean throughout videogame history..for me it was


mike tyson--nes mike tyson\'s punchout..until i learned mike\'s pattern, he owned me

kingdom hearts--rikku, the 1st & 2nd times he gave me a ton of trouble & that very last boss at the end of the game,..hardest boss ever..i must\'ve replayed that segment over 40 times!

sephrioth (spell)--at the very end of ff7 nuff said

both bosses at the end valis 2 & 3 for the turbo graphx 16 (oldie)

karateka--an acually very good adventure game for the commodore 64 back in the day anyway the very last boss in that game was tough

the boss at the end of the legendary axe( turbographx 16)

any of the bosses in blazin lazers comin towards the end for the turbo graphx 16..

kwan-from rise to honor at the very end..it took me some time to whoop his a$$ using counters..took me about 14 times to beat him..

god--i think that was his name i\'m not sure if he was the last boss in shadow hearts but i could not defeat him & i was deep into the game i say that because i defeated that guy with the black top hat...

goro--from the first mortal combat..he was cheap at times but he made me drop alot of quarters into that machine..oh & i used scorpion..

the mid game boss in silent hill 3,..the one that killed heather\'s father,..the one you fought on the roof..some may say he was easy but the 1st time around with just the ordinary weapons? i had a tough time...

the spider boss 1st & 2nd time this boss was tough but this fight to me was one of the best boss fights ever..i would get mad when i died fighting him,..but he was an absolute joy to fight..that is what was missing from devil may cry 2...challenges that are an absolute blast to play through...oh forgot to mention..this is from the 1st devil may cry..

that\'s all for now i just noticed how long this is gettin\'..feel free to make your contributions..

Cool thread.

1) The Campaigner + T-Rex in Turok 1.  I love this game and these bosses ended the game pefectly.

2) Alma (B*tch!!!) in Ninja Gaiden Xbox

3) James Bond car guy in Midnight Club II + more that I forget

Really?  I just whipped through this game.  

anyways heres mine

1.  Devil May Cry Final Boss

2.  Emerald Weapon (Final Fantasy 7)

3.  Ruby Weapon (Final Fantasy 7)

4.  Devil May Cry (first boss, [lava-spider])

5.  (Not really a Boss fight more a stage/level)  Battletoads 3rd or 4th level with the swamp bikes.

I don\'t think the Weapons should really count, they\'re optional.

Personally, I had MAJOR problems with the Gate Keep in FFVII from the city of the ancients. It used to just smash me and it took a lot of effort to beat it. In fairness to me, though, my characters in all FF games I play through are usually at an extremely low level.

Oh, and Ultimecia from FFVIII. My characters were on level 28 the first time I took her on. Youch. Still kicked her ass, though.. eventually. I had my entire battle planned out on paper, I upgraded every last spell I had to the most powerful, I had to use just the right characters. Was touch as hell.

I\'ll post more as I think of them..

Bob, I had problems with the gate keeper too.

I had problems with:

the final dude in half life
inferno, the last dude on the journey mode in SC2

i know i have some, but i can\'t remember all at this moment...

FF Tactics - Elmdor dude that uses samurai sword.  The part i am talking about is when i have to fight him on the roof with his assasins. it was kinda hard and i think i died several times before i can actually killed him.  It makes very difficult to steal his assasins rare items while trying to kill him too.

FF Tactics- the guy that turns into a something if forgot its name but he called himself the devil.  Miluda\'s brother, Wiegraf\'s \'holy stone\' called upon him and he turned into the "devil."


-some bosses in Mega Man 8.  Not only they have some of the hardest levels when you first played it.  Some of the bosses are hard to defeat too.

-some bosses in FFX.  Seymour is kinda difficult if you don\'t use the right moves, but after knowing the right moves, it gets easier.

-Liquid snake and his gear in Metal Gear Solid 1.

that\'s most i can remember for now and I am only covering Ps2 and ps1.

oh speaking of which,

Echo the dolphin the tides of time in Sega Genesis.  Some levels are tough, so are some of the bosses.

Any boss on MGS2 when on the hardest setting.

hmmm...that\'s a tough one...i would have to say...the earth eater in FFX...damn...at least for me...the custom one from the calm lands i mean

you guys must have been at pretty low levels in ff7, I breezed through that game.  Sephiroth was the absolute easiest, he got one hit in before I took him down.:P

I have a tendency to turn the tough games off, though I do push myself through it if I\'m really enjoying the game.  

Metroid Prime - Omega Pirate.  What a pain in the ass, it took me about 7 or 8 times but I had never been so frustrated.

Xenosaga - I don\'t remember the name now but there was one boss battle I thought was ridiculously tough.  For anyone who might remember, it\'s the boss fight after you rescue Momo.  It was just Ziggy and Momo against the boss, he could diminish my HP down to one with a single hit.

FFX - Seymour.  I had to fight him quite a few times through his first three forms.  Suprisingly I found the last battle with him to be the most simple.

Ecco the Dolphin(DC) - Sleeping Forces of Doom.  The big circular room with the tentacles, strong current, debris(hurts ecco), and two pockets of air.  It was at least a 30 minute fight for me, if not close to an hour.  That entire game was tough.

Sephiroth-FF7
Sephiroth-Kingdom hearts (I dont know why you people found the last boss hard.He was extremely easy for me.Killed him in the first try)
Last Boss-DMC
Last Boss-FF8
Last Boss-Resi2 if you have the grenade launcher he\'s dead in seconds.If not.....I dont know how you can kill this guy

All of the bosses in Contra: Shattered Soldier.

Last Boss FF8.  Only FF game I havn\'t finished because of this stupid boss:mad:

My suggestion is to use Quistis white wind when "its use apocalypse" or mega elixers.

Final boss on bionic commando and the final boss on ninja gaiden 2.

I personally tried to have Rinoa in the final boss forms junctioned with strong magic especially like Ultima.I custed Aura with the help of Selphie if I remember well to Squall and Rinoa so Rinoa kept casting strong powerfull magic with her limit brake(I dont remember which was).Ultima did great damage.I kept healing her.Squall was junctioned with some kind of magic that generated his HP.hmm...cant remember well though.Its being a long time
