To make it worse, he had a defense ability (Barrier) and a restoritive ability (Recover). This was a battle of luck. You can hope he gets froven with Ice Beam and just wittle his HP down or you can put him to sleep and pray he doesn't wake up. Or you could throw a Master Ball at him. Eather strategy works.

I forgot about Mewtwo. I'm pretty sure most people just used a master ball.

There are a few that I enjoy. But, I'm not sure of the order.


Kingdom Hearts - All of them (they're just so fun in that game)

Final Fantasy
1. Chaos (why is there a head where his private bits are supposed to be...?)

Final Fantasy IV
1. Magus Sisters

Final Fantasy VIII
1. Omega Weapon (mwahaha)
2. Ultimecia

Final Fantasy IX
1. All Chaos Fiends (memories...)
2. Necron
3. Hades
4. Ozma

Final Fantasy X
1. Any battle at the Monster Arena
2. Yu Yevon (soooooo easy)

Super Metroid
1. Ridley
2. Draygon
3. Mother Brain

Metroid Fusion
1. Nightmare (freaky)
2. Neo Ridley
3. SA-X

Metroid Prime
1. Parasite Queen (awesome music, I love the Mother Brain remix)
2. Flaahgra (i can fight that battle w/o getting hit!)
3. Omega Pirate (most people don't like this battle, but I thoroughly enjoy it)
4. Meta Ridley (the nemesis)
5. The Metroid Prime (great sci-fi battle)


Metroid Prime 2 ~ Echoes
1. Chykka (great music, but its like that in any Metroid game ^_^)
2. Quadraxis
3. Emperor Ing
4. Dark Samus (all forms, but especially the last)

Metroid - All Boss battles, even though there are only 3

Metroid Zero Mission
1. Kraid
2. Ridley

Metroid II
1. Queen Metroid
****

I think that's it....

Boss fights are a curious beast. They're an inevitability in any game you happen to play, and are only a small part of it. I can't say if I've ever gained any real enjoyment from any of the...

O bugger it, Ultros. There I said it.

Ummm, Cerberus in Kingdom Hearts, and Event 50 (The two hands) in Super Smash Bros. Melee.

I liked fighting Goht (TLoZ: MM), Zeromus (FFIV), Shadow Queen (PM: TTYD).

Who remembers the little witch from Bajo Kazooies I remember that Boss fight and I loved it!!!!

Ozma was awesome, I liked that boss almost as much as....guess what's coming.......Kefka, oh yeah, he pwns.

I think you guys are forgetting about Conker's Bad Fur Day. ;)

Yeah man, there are some classics mentioned in here :greenie:

All forms of ridley were fun as hell (basic, neo and mecha) and kraid obviously.

Metal sonic from sonic cd, knuckles from s&k and the final bosses from sonic3 plus knuckles.

U.Rugal and S.akuma from capcom snk are mean machines, love em. Bison from SFA3 was awesome too.

From the final fantasy series i pretty much loved to fight anything that was a summon. Bahamut being the best in most cases.
All time favorite FF bosses are shinryu omega and neo x-death, for supreme awesomeness and Gilgamesh obviously for being damn right cool. Other memorable fights include Necrophobe, Atamos, archeoavis from FFV, cerberas, omega weapon and griever from FFVIII and emerald from FFVII.

Mentioned somewhere above is Mewtwo. I usually catch him pretty quick with ultra balls and once (hell yeah) i caught him with a single ultra ball (fire red version) But the legendary birds were fantastic fights and especially the legendary dogs. Not to mention lugia.

The nemesis from resy evil 3 absolute owns too.

The best goes to the colossi in Shadow of the Colossus (every single one of them). Aside from that though, every boss in MGS3 would rank as perhaps my favorites over any other games bosses. In particular the fight with the Boss. It just felt absolutely perfect.

In no particular order:

the end (MGS3)
the boss(MGS3)
Soilidus(MGS2)
Pyshco mantis(MGS)

(yes,I like MGS)

Sephiroth(FF7)
nemesis(RE3 and FFX)
omega weapon(FF8)
Whatever the last boss was from(Doom3)
any boss(Castlevania:symphony of the night)
Big smoke(GTA:San andreas)
Tartaurus(Halo 2)
Hash'ak'gik(Blood omen,Blood omen 2, Defiance((Kinda))..)
Pigsy(manhunt)
any boss from any game before 1995. Old school
Tyrant(RE)
Nobunaga(Onimusha3)
The emperor(Jade empires)
Darth Malek(KOTOR)
The butcher(Pyschonauts)

and alot more I can't think of.

>>> Suikoden 4 - The pirate Brandeau, I think it was the very first "boss like" battle and it was easy too, but there it was something so cool and awesome about dueling face to face against Brandeau. The music the mood everything was so perfect and epic.. yeah, without a doubt my fav battle in a videogame.
