Thought I would start this thread mainly because I'm having a hard time narrowing down my top ten ^_o
I'd like to see names, games of origin and naturally...why
1) Dark Samus | Metroid Prime Corruption
--Fighting your alterego is always a fantastic battle, but this fight is a long time comming spanning three-games and some fantastic gameplay inbetween. From MP1's crypic ending with the hand rising from the Phazon to Metroid Primes inevetable destruction.
2) Minerva | Final Fantasy Crisis Core
--What makes this battle rank so highly is how much effort is required to reach her. Even then, her stats are enormous as are her abilities and resistances...this is a tough battle even for the hard-core grinder. Also, the steal of 99 x Phoenix Downs makes this battle fun to fail ^_^ Whereas the bonus' for winning are even juicier
3) Saddler | Resident Evil 4
--I prefer this fella > Wesker anyday, I had enormous fun using the Broken Butterfly on his 'knee's and evading those flailing tenticles. Then the typical Resi-way to end the battle with a 'Special' Bazooka launched right between his eyes - fantastic!
4) Hive Mind | Dead Space
--After such a long haul and stockpiling ammo, this battle is very fun. Using the Contact Beam is the 'easy' way to kill of this Planet Sized monster, but purists have much fun using the Plasma Cutter, particually when being suspended over this beasts mouth - just waiting to turn you into a bitesized snack.
5) Gannon/dorf | Ocarina of Time
--I know, I know, this fella is on nearly every list, but the two part fight between man and beast is burned into my mind. First we have Lethal Tennis and then chase the Tail using your Biggorons Sword after your Sword of Evils Bane was knocked from your grasp; the final sword blow is devastating and in my opinion makes Gannon a true monster to Slay.
6) Vergil 3 | Devil May Cry 3
--What would a boss list be without the Cobalt Son-of-Sparda.
All of Vergils battes are fantastic, be them ontop of a giant tower pre-awakening, meeting Sword to Gauntlet in the middle or finally, as the world falls apart around you in the limbo of Hell and Earth.
7) Champion Lance | Pokemon Silver/Gold/Crystal
--I'm a Pokemon fan, yup yup, I know way too much about those little monsters. But, when I first played G/S the final battle against Champion Lance (not Red...he was easy later on) was fearsome, a team of Dragons/Dragon-like monsters saw many teams and attempts fall flat against their high levels and numerous resistances - thankfully Thunderbolt from my Jolteon at the time tore through those Pesky Dragonites and saw a victory for me...but it was only after seven or eight attempts!
8) Raam | Gears of War
--Maybe its because I played Gears of War on my own, or that the AI (of my Partner) seemed to have been designed by some kind of epilipetic monkey with a Sharpie marker taped to his tail, but I found a great deal of satisfaction when this fella fell. Naturally, the dumb AI decided to kill itself several times on my path to victory but managing to overcome Raam alone made me appreciate the KO alot more.
9) Meta Ridley | Metroid Prime
--The second to last boss of MP1, and Samus' all time Nemesis.
There was always something fun about this fight, maybe it was because I was fighting a Robotic Dragon that was firing lasers and fire at me, maybe it was because I could contort into a ball and roll around like Sonic used to do. I don't know, but it was a very fun battle that broke the slightly monotonous ones that came before it.
X) Magician | House of the Dead II
--I HATED this boss.
My first encounter was in the arcades and I was running on my last credit and being the child I was then (not much has changed) I didn't have funds to continue feeding the machine.
Needless to say, I lost, but the Dreamcast saw the return and it was a year or so ago that I picked up my gun and started again, I still HATE this boss. Many psinfully cheap attacks and minescule weakpoints make him the bane of most Arcade Shooters, but damn, I felt so good when I knocked that last iota of health from its bar -- once again, no co-op player to help me, so short of using both guns (damn, wish I had tried that now =p) I killed that annoying pink and purple floaty guy on my lonesome!
Feel free to comment on my choices and naturally, add your own! ^_^
