Hardest bosses in games...

[ToyfareMark]

That people don't talk about very much.

For me it's Isaac Frost in Fight Night: Champion. I rage quit this many times, the fact you have to follow your trainers instructions to the letter, and the fact Frost is an uber beast combine to make it one of the most frustrating boss fights ever. I guess it doesn't get talked about much because it took place in a sports game where boss fights, at least like the one with Isaac Frost are very uncommon.

What are some other examples?

A lot of SNK Bosses. Enough said.

Everyone goes on about Igniz and Omega Rugal, but Wolfgang Krauser back in the day was a purple haired terror.

Arceus in Pokemon Legends Arceus
Big Bad Brad will agree. lol

[Natural Born Farmer]

Magneto in X-Men: COTA.

Was so stoked to finally play this on my Saturn and then dude just kicked my ass for hours.

For the Kingdom Hearts series, in Kingdom Hearts 2 Lingering Will was just so stupidly hard I straight up quit my 100% trophies run.

I've heard Yozora is hard in KH3 but I never bought the DLC

Sephiroth probably doesn't crack the top 5 hardest Kingdom Hearts boss fights, which says more about how stupid hard those other boss fights are

The Dark Demon in Demon's Crest.

Still not able to beat it

Honestly, I thought Original Zero in 2k1 was way harder than Igniz. His strikers were some bullshit.

Speaking of SNK bosses, Geese had some absolutely hellish incarnations. Goenitz in KOF 96 was awful, too.

Final Boss M. Bison in SFA3 was really bad, too. His Psycho Crusher super was insane.

And then there's Super Turbo Akuma. Holy shit he was broken.

Not a boss, but I can't beat Lesnar in 2K22 no matter how many finishers I give him.

[DragonMasterP]

How about Karai from the SNES version of TMNT Tournament Fighters? If you've played the game, you know the horror.

[Push R Truth]

The Wife saying "Turn that shit off and go to bed".

I have never defeated that endboss.

[Zone Was Wrong]

Ozma in Final Fantasy 9 pissed me off to no end.

Throwing Mohg, Lord of Blood in here for me. Threw myself at him for over two weeks, using every trick they recommended. Finally had to summon someone in to help. UGH

I think it's because the player-base had shrunk quite a bit by the time of KoF XI, but Magaki never gets enough love/hate when this topic comes up. It was SNK at their absolute scum worst. I mean, where do you start, with his insane DP or, I don't know, maybe his ridiculous HP? No? Unblockable projectiles? Ridiculous priority? Take your pick. I've come across my fair share of Orochis, Mr. Karates et al but Magaki just went over the threshold of being just that bit too far to be an enjoyable experience.

[MolotovMocktail]

Just about every boss in X-Men for Sega Genesis. I specifically call out Sabretooth, Apcoalypse, Mojo and, of course, Magneto.

Mr. Black in Red Dead Revolver.

You could also say the same about Karai in the Genesis version. She was cheap, too. It amazes me that I managed to beat her on hard mode, with or without special moves. Then again, the AI was cheap in the Genesis version.

[Captain Stud Muffin (BLM)]

Deathstroke in Arkham Knight

It is not even that it is hard as far as skill is concerned because it is a f****ing tank battle but it is a test in patience. Some bullshit making me use the Batmobile when we was supposed to fight him man to man

[the2ndevil]

In Kingdom Hearts 2, I had a much easier time with Final Boss Xenmas than I did against mid world boss Demyx.

I detested Magaki. I know people had talked about Igniz, but I hadn't gotten that far and maybe one day I might feel that character's wrath, but I had nightmares about Magaki. I remember thinking Krizalid from KOF '99 was cheap, at least his second form (the first form was a little cheap; the one with the coat, I mean), but I still beat him.

Every Elden Ring boss but especially Malenia.

Luckily, I summoned the legend, Let Me Solo Her.
