(SPOILERS ABOUND) Hardest final bosses, RPG or otherwise. Options

[DarkEpyon]

What were some of the toughest final bosses you've gone up against?

For me it was...

Destroyer - Romancing SaGa 3
Even with maxed out characters, this thing still gave you a run for your money. It attacks twice, maybe 3 times each round. Once you get it down low enough it starts busting off like 4 or 5 moves a round. If you didn't bother to kill the 4 guardians in the abyss, this fight is even tougher.

Zeromus - Final Fantasy 4
His big bang would do a good deal of damage and also cause HP leak so if the attack itself didn't do you in, the HP leak would seconds later. He just *loved* to use this attack. Black hole cancelled out all your magic effects like wall and what not. If you used holy or meteo on him, he'd counter by taking the caster's HP into the single digits. And if Rosa or Rydia were still under a big bang-induced HP leak, they were pretty much dead. If you got him like under 10000HP he'd start using meteo. Thank God it wasn't the overpowered one that Rydia or FuSoYa could use, otherwise this boss would be unbeatable.

Sigma - Megaman X
This was probably the toughest one IMO.

Wily's final form - Megaman 7
This one liked to move around a lot and shoot out fire and ice projectiles that immobilized you on contact. Very frustrating.

Super Shredder - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 4
Like in the past games, he could turn your characters into ordinary turtles. He also had a few other nasty attacks up his sleeve and could only be hurt when the flame around his body was a certain color.

hmn how about gill in street fighter 3 3rd strike Resurection=cheapest move in the long sad history of cheap moves

Bwah ha ha....I had completely forgotten about Gill. To those who have no idea: If you beat Gill when he has a full super combo bar he will use it to revive himself, so unless you can tag his ass while he's pulling out "Resurrection" he gets his whole lifebar back. Ugh. Talk about a pain in the butt.

So I took a trip down memory lane this afternoon and booted up 3rd Strike. I gotta say, not only was Gill a cheapass, but that game's entire CPU controlled cast was rather cheesy. Ya know, I was never that great at the Parry System, anyway....but it's hella ridiculous when the CPU opponent can predict every move you make and avoid/counter/parry it instantly.

Case in point: Dudley vs. Elena....I swear she knew exactly what I was gonna do the instant it came out of my controller. Ehh, it was a classicly outmatched pair....speed/counter vs speed/range.

But the funniest part was when I picked Ryu....the CPU seemed to let me walk all over it....until Gill.

13 continues on that bastard....10 close calls, 2 outright slaughterfests, 1 victory. The dude has Ibuki's lightning speed, Urien's reach, Hugo's brute strength, and Q's nasty ass "rather kill ya than even blink at ya" super arts.

Ha ha....I landed a Shin-Shoryuken right up Gill's backside when he started his "Let me be the blesser of all souls" meteor shower Super Art. TOO GOOD.

Of course, this encounter means nothing compared to most bosses in SNK's stable of fighting games....Omega Rugal, anyone?? X/
