Battle with Bass in the Undernet in BN3, Vile in X1's opening, and similar boss battles.

No boss is truly unbeatable. You're just not doing it right.

True...

Unless they have SNK syndrome and become so annoying you'd want to take your system and throw into the TV and throw that altogether out the window.

But of course that's a bit extreme.

Levels are truly unbeatable though.  Unless you cheat or have a guide.

There's a way. It just hasn't been discovered yet.

I'm having a hard time finding an example of such. If you're thinking of the Minus World in Mario 1, that is beatable.

I can think of plenty of CHEAP bosses, but I can't think of any boss that is truly hard under normal circumstances.  I usually have to make bosses hard by handicapping my character somehow.

I think some of the hardest boss fights -- while still remaining fair -- were Phalanx using normal Firebrand, X3 Sigma with no upgrades or special weapons, and Sera with just your buster.  All without healing.  [parasitic bomb] was so epic.

RPG boss difficulty is determined by what level you are and what equipment you have.

I'm just saying it's hard to tell what bosses are difficult in RPGs, because a boss that gave you a ton of trouble could be killed by some other guy in two hits.

I had the most difficulty with X2's Serges, Zero 4's Weil, ZXA's Albert form 1 and the final boss of Frogger's adventure: the temple of the frog. (but then, I was just 7 when I got that game...)

You know who I really hate? I mean really [tornado fang]ing hate. The one SNK boss that no-one has mentioned yet.

Mizuki Rashojin. Just [tornado fang] you, Mizuki. [tornado fang] you to Hell and back. You and your son-of-a-[sonic slicer] dog (lulz).

...

That's probably because I suck at fighting games, though. And I play as Cham Cham all the time. I can beat her with Jubei no problem.

On the subject of bosses that should provide a challenge, but proved otherwise...

Dio Brando. I can understand beating him as Jotaro - canon and whatnot. But being able to beat him as, say, Alessi? D= That's just plain insulting. If anybody should have SNK Boss Syndrome, it should be Mr. Brando.

But then, video games =/= canon. Otherwise Shadow Dio would just walk all over Hol Horse. I'm just glad Rubber Soul doesn't fight him...I don't think I could bear the shame of being beaten by a cheap Kakyoin knock-off. Why couldn't they give him a decent power, like in the manga?

No one mentioned Mildred Avalon from Arcana Heart, huh? Or her sister from 2? You guys are missing out on beatdowns. X( or maybe *cough mushihimesama futari cough* >.>

Yeah, I know.

according to a commenter on that, if the waves of whatever the boss is shooting don't kill you, a seizure will

I agree.

Usually if I find a boss hard it's because of some damn ranking requirement.  So far as just beating the boss goes, I can't possibly post anything that compares to Vix's bullet storm from last page, but nevertheless I'm surprised nobody mentioned this yet:

-Chornoforce, Hard Mode, ZX Advent.
Narrow safe zones combined with a constant time bomb, yeilds a character who is hellishly tough at ANY point in your typical Inti-crippled Hard Mode, much less having to fight him as your second or third Pseudoroid of the game.



And one other one, that actually isn't as tough as getting to him, but still memorably difficult:

-Mysterial, Pokemon Battle Revolution, Masters Final Set (Diamond version linked with the game)
They finally did it.  They finally put a Choice Scarfed Kyogre on the CPU's side.  Good luck.

Also on DeviantArt, Rumble, DLive.tv, and the Fediverse (@freespeechextremist.com and @bae.st)

I like making my friends play levels from Shoot the Bullet. That's always fun. They don't like playing most shooting games, but StB's 30 second levels seem to be acceptable.


How the [tornado fang] are you meant to beat the later levels in that game anyway? [parasitic bomb]'s ridiculous.

StB takes....months to get used to but after you spend a WHILE getting to know the spellcards, its fairly......a little less hard. ^^ Lunatic+Touhou=a ridiculously hard game anyway. lol Survival cards lets the boss just laugh at you while you die. lmao

They don't really like any of Eirin's. Mostly it's Kaguya and Shikieiki.





(The clear was me, they still haven't managed it yet)

I make them play PoFV sometimes too, it's hilarious.

Luckily, they have not had months of play to get used to it!

Pfft. Really? Z4 Weil is pathetic.
