My favorite boss battles.. Ah, the memories this brings.
Culex- Super Mario RPG: The Legend Of the Seven Stars- Five bosses in one using all elements, healing, and instant death attacks? My kind of challenge.
Nash- Lunar: Silver Star Story- You are finally able to deflate his "I'm better than you attitude," here that he has been expressing from the beginning. This fight is well loved for sure.
Star Magician- Golden Sun: The Lost Age- See my Culex description.
Shadow Link- Zelda II: The Adventure of Link- He's just like you but more powerful? That is so not fair! But unfair battles are so much more fun than the even ones.
Final Form Sigma- Mega Man X3- Hey, I'm really good at the X series, but honestly, has anyone here gotten rid of at least a third of his health? It's kinda hard to defeat someone half the size of the room that attacks from all angles with blasts that take up a fourth of the room when you can be hurt from anywhere, but you have to land hits on his small head that doesn't always face you. I have never been so helpless in a boss battle in my life. If anyone here has beaten him without a code, please give me your address and I'll send you a check with as much money as you want in exchange for your autograph. Of course proof, like filming yourself doing it, would be required. I'm not THAT stupid.
Teepo- Breath of Fire III- See my Shadow Link description.
These are some of the best boss battles that I've gone through. Culex takes a long time but isn't too difficult. Nash is easy, but by the end of the game, EVERYONE is fed up and just really wants to wail on him. Star Magician is a long battle like Culex, but unlike Culex, Star Magician is very hard, because every time you beat one of his pwerful minions, he makes a new one. So you only have to kill the head guy, but that is still very difficult because you are pummled by four minions the entire battle with no other choice. Took me over a dozen tries to finally beat him. Shadow Link? He's simply Link with dark power. But he can beat me far more easily than vice versa. I always wonder why the bad guys have all the power and the good ones always need a strategy because rushing a boss is not recommened. Can't light have the raw power for a change? Final Sigma... I've played platformers since I was four. He will still not die. End of story. As for Teepo, I learn my dragon powers long before he knows he has them. Why is it that three years later, he can use his dragon powers to their full potential when I can barely scratch the surface? I mean, I thought I was powerful, but facing the dragon's true strength, I am a weakling. I needed a full party of three or I would have lost miserably. Do the bad guys learn faster then good ones? Apparently. Best boss battles can be hardest, longest, or even the funnest. These are the examples I have to offer. Later!
