Soul Calibur 3's Tales of Souls mode is a pain in the ass from start to finish. You have random QTEs sprinkled throughout it. Abyss is up there with SNK bosses based on how hard he can be to defeat. One of the cool things about beating the damn mode is getting the in-game endings. Just when you thought you can sit back and watch the ending, there goes another QTE, and whether you respond to the prompt or not, you'll get two variants to a character's ending, which is pretty interesting. The worst thing about Tales of Souls is that you cannot adjust the difficulty, making it more frustrating for any player that simply wants to unlock the rest of the characters. That reminds me... my brother's favorite mode from all of Soul Calibur was Chronicles of the Sword... which I agree was awesome... BUT the last board of that mode was damn near impossible.

Right now it's Mario Kart 8 and anything after 50cc in Grand Prix mode.
Oh, you've been in first for 95% of the race? Here, let us rain down red and blue shells just a few feet from the finish line so you can finish in fourth.

The Sega Dreamcast controller. It is very impractical for fighting games. Even worse, some games only allow you to use the d-pad instead of that and the analog stick. What were they thinking?!

Also, the cord came out the bottom instead of the top... never saw that before or since. Was awkward. But at least, Fire Pro D was good.

No matter how I try, I just can't beat Hillary in The Driver mission GTA:Vice City. It's not that hard if you switch cars. Park a hotring racer or a cheetah across the street from the police station and then run to the Malibu to start the mission.

Mass Effect 1: the f****king MAKO tank (thank god it was scrapped for ME 2 & 3) Mass Effect 3's original ending (Hey BioWare you promised the gaming world that all of the choices that gamers made throughout the ME trilogy would be meaningful in the last game, but nooooooooo you gave us three endings that are the same with just a color swap)

I like the Mako tank :S Yes, turning is a bitch with the overturning, and you can't hit anything close to you but the rest is fine. It's like a horse in an Elder Scrolls game.

SNK Bosses. I was playing The King of Fighters: Dream Match 1999 on my Dreamcast, and I was doing pretty great with Iori, despite using the d-pad. I reached Rugal, and he whooped my ass. Magaki in KOF XI is an asshole. Mizuchi was a pain in the ass in NeoGeo Battle Coliseum. Yet, the final boss in KOF: Maximum Impact 2 was pretty easy...
Street Fighter Alpha 3 (PlayStation): The second time you face Final Bison in World Tour will give you frustration. Before you even face him again, you gotta go through two Sagats, Vega, and Cammy.

the likes of Angle vs Eddie, Benoit vs HBK, Taker and Kane vs MNM etc.... basically a stacked card full of great matches. The opponent had the main event of Mark Henry and Kelly Kelly vs Daivari and Ashley, a bunch of crappy jobber matches and even a blank space on their card and STILL got a higher score than me. Don't forget that there was also an HIAC match almost every week on Raw or Smackdown. I mean, come on, really? I could understand a cage match, but HIAC?

Does anyone remember the Sega Genesis version of NBA Jam? You know the game where it's in the fourth quarter and you hit a three to put your two guys up two or one against the computer, all of a sudden the computer inbounds the ball, passes to their teammate who throws a one handed Hail Mary half-court shot that ALWAYS goes in. I swear I threw my controller down to the ground in anger many times over that.
Shao Kahn in Mortal Kombat II had to be the cheapest, most frustrating, and difficult boss in the game that literally had you cussing at the game and throwing the controller in anger as well.

Park a hotring racer or a cheetah across the street from the police station and then run to the Malibu to start the mission. Or park a truck down the road in front of where he'll drive and watch him crash. T'was a bitch of a mission. And then I struggled for ages with the shooting range mission. {Spoiler}{Spoiler}And then Hillary gets himself shot the second he appears during the heist. Stupid f***er.

I can never hate Shao Kahn. Cheap as he may be, the fact that his cheapness is self-aware makes up for it. The worst things are when nameless enemies with no backstory are cheap. EG, in Skyrim. If a Dragon Priest fireballs me to death in 5 seconds, I can't say I mind much, because he's been endowed with godlike powers by ancient dragons and was one of the leaders of their society. Cheap, but believably cheap. Meanwhile if a Bandit Highwayman runs up to me and kills me in one or two hits with a quarterstaff, that annoys the piss out of me. Why? Because he's some random shit with a quarterstaff.

Even then...I knew I was going to be the person to have to drive everyone back, considering I drove everyone there. I guess his purpose was to keep the engine running...oh well, The Heist was still one of the best missions in the game. Then when I realized that I had the option to kill Cam, I made sure to do that on every subsequent playthrough. Tommy's reaction to Cam's death was hilarious.

Mario Kart Double Dash.... What'd you find frustrating about Double Dash? I recall being on Rainbow Road, needing 3rd to finish the all-cup tourney 1st overall; for reference, this is last of 16 races, I believe, at 150cc. I lead the whole race, then got blueshell'd, redshell'd, hit a banana and slid off just before the last stretch. It broke me. It took ages to get back into it. SNK Bosses. I was playing The King of Fighters: Dream Match 1999 on my Dreamcast, and I was doing pretty great with Iori, despite using the d-pad. I reached Rugal, and he whooped my ass. Magaki in KOF XI is an asshole. Mizuchi was a pain in the ass in NeoGeo Battle Coliseum. Yet, the final boss in KOF: Maximum Impact 2 was pretty easy... Magaki technically prevents KoFXI being classified as a game. It ain't interactive, it's just a VT of outright torture.

Playing 95% of modern fighting games on a console without an arcade controller.
Seriously, go and get funked, Street Fighter IV, you absolute victory pillaging waste of time.
Seriously, the copyright on a GOOD d-pad has ruined playing most fighting games on an Xbox 360 or PS3. And I can't afford a few hundred quid/dollars on a piece of fancy plastic for three or so games...or two sets of fancy plastic in order to play against fellow fight fans.
I can't even enjoy Marvel vs Capcom 2 on the XBLA! I just have to listen to the character select screen 15 second loop theme over and over to get my rush...
