What are some of your favorite video game boss fights?
The ones that come to my mind are -The Undertaker in Beat the Streak mode from WWE 2K14. Those matches were absolutely legendary. I'd keep hitting him with finishers and he'd keep kicking out and somehow, I'd miraculously kick out of his. Win or lose, it was just a great time. -The boss fights in Asura's Wrath which are pretty much the only good part of that game...but what would you expect from a CC2 game? -Shadow Shido and you should all know why already. -Jergingha from The Wonderful 101 and I mean the entire thing from the brain all the way to Planet Destruction form. -Master Hand, Tabuu, and Master Core from Smash. There're a lot more, but these are the first ones I could think of.
Demons Souls Flamelurker. He's a rare occurance in that he's actually not that large or highly-damaging for a boss, most kill you in one or two hits, Flamelurker averages 3 or 4. He makes up for it by being really, really fast. He's difficult to hit, has short tells before his own attacks, and the lower his health gets, the hotter this fire demon burns. At about the halfway point you start taking damage for simply being near him, so you have to be careful for multiple reasons. Now from Dark Souls, Artorius the Abysswalker. Like Flamelurker, he's fast more than strong, and doesn't flinch often, so you have to be extremely careful. However, where Flame gets to deal aura-based damage halfway through, Artorius has some attacks you, quite simply, have to dodge. They come out faster than you might expect, and are a nice mix-up if you're used to blocking for him.
