[Cartilage Head]

Seriously. I have come to the conclusion that Lavos is one of the best villains ever. He is super-powerful and dangerous, and doesn't utter a single word, but he is by no means mindless. He is a godlike being, but his only goal is to leech off of the planet... shit, he absorbs DNA from every life form on the planet! He cannot be bargained with, has no sense of emotion; he's just a complete destructive force.

Others?

[Trevlordyte]

The boss for Chrono Trigger is a little hard to beat but

I would not fuck with

The only reason Samus beat her is because of a metroid blessing in the form of a rainbow beam.

[KvP]

Fucking SHODAN

[Alex C]

Irenicus was kind of a dick.

[BeoPuppy]

Diablo.

Bit of a jerk too, for a demon lord.

[MadassAlex]

The Golden Sun Double-Dragon.

Shit, I only ever beat that fucker ONCE. That is NOT a pretty fucking battle. Due to sheer combat prowess, it is my pick. Honourable mention goes to Ridley of Metroid fame, mostly because he appears to be invincible but also because he razes planets as a hobby.

[Caspian]

Now maybe this is because I'm a major Golden Sun nerd, but even my first time through I never found the double dragon all that hard to beat. Dulhahan from the second game of GS.. now that is a hard freaking match up. You've just got to throw everything at him in the first three or so rounds or you lose.

Others, seconding Shodan and Irenicus. Amazing games, too.

[snalin]

Fucking SHODAN

I can't get this game to work, even though I go through tons of fixes and DOSbox tutorials. Fuck.

[imapiratearg]

Baal.

[Blyss]

Albert Wesker.

[Trollstormur]

kerrigan



wait i think i misunderstood the topic.

[mberan42]

[Alex C]

Actually, yeah, Mike wins.

[Surgoshan]

Sephiroth would kill your family, burn down your town, impale you on a sword, and try to destroy the planet with a meteorite, but at least he wouldn't try to bite your ear off.

[Alex C]

If Jesus were here, Mike would fight him too.

[MadassAlex]

I think Trollstormur had the right idea - most of us lack the ability to take on any video game boss, so how about we name bosses that we think we could take on or at least maybe try to sleep with?

I would take on pretty much any Pokemon trainer in a fist fight. Maybe if they're a cute female I would be friendly instead?

[JD]

The Boss maybe?

[Inlander]

Please tell me what game Bruce Springsteen was in.

[DonInKansas]

Metroid spewing mother fucker.

[Blue Kitty]

[scarred]

[satsugaikaze]

This guy fuckin' photosynthesises and stays perfectly still for hours on end with a sniper rifle

Also, Psycho Mantis. He reads your mind console and will black out your TV. I think that if he were in real life he'd probably screw us all up.

Hell, a lot of Kojima's game bosses are ridiculously godly.

[Blyss]

Hell, a lot of Kojima's game bosses are ridiculously godly.

Joo take that back!!  There is nothing ridiculous about their godliness!

jk - yeah, there are some weird motherfuckers in that mix...

[Stryc9Fuego]

Joo take that back!!  There is nothing godly about their ridiculousness!

Fixed that for ya.
 

srsly, I wouldn't want to go against Jinpachi.

[satsugaikaze]

I would say that MGS bosses are also godly ridiculous. Perhaps even more so.

Ergo, you lose.

Akasha, UT3?

Actually she was pretty easy compared to her minions sometimes

[Boro_Bandito]

It took me three times to beat Kane in the original Shining Force, same thing goes for Dark Dragon.

Also I bought DBZ: Budokai 3 used for the PS2 several years ago and I remember some of the characters in that being ridiculously hard to beat, I think Majin Buu took me like 15 times and several frustrated rage moments to get through. I don't think I've ever cussed out a videogame more than that one.

[Felrender]

Not exactly a boss, but I would not fuck with the Overlord.

[LittleKey]

I think any boss that kills/does bad shit for the sole purpose that they enjoy it is someone I wouldn't want to mess with.

Oh and I've noticed Diablo and Baal both being mentioned, but when I think of the Diablo series boss that I would least want to mess with, I think of Duriel.



Would YOU mess with this fucker?

[Melodic]

I would certainly not stick my penis into whatever orifices it possessed.

[Alex C]

That and he's a douche bag who kills you during load times.

[Felrender]

Whover thought an end boss with a fuckign freeze attack and super speed needs to get kicked in the teeth.

[satsugaikaze]

And stun.

And resistances to a whole bunch of shit.

In terms of the lowest level at which you could actually access the dungeon, I found the Tomb accessible at quite a low level. Consequently it makes an unprepared person easily killed within, say, three hits or less (my first encounter of Duriel was at around level 18 and I died pretty damn fast).

The thing about the other bosses was that you had to be at quite a capable level to beat their minions. The creeps in the Tomb of Tal Rasha labyrinths were a pushover.

[Alex C]

If you want to have some real fun try beating him as an under leveled Sorceress.

[Boro_Bandito]

First time I fought him was with a summoning Druid. I did not have fun, since I had bought the battle chest and it was my first character. I think I got through by leveling up a bit more, getting bear form in shapeshifting and spamming every summon I had to distract him.

[imapiratearg]

I had an elemental druid with a super beefed-up Fissure attack, and I still had a hard time beating him.  I remember being killed like, three times, because my only plan was "Run in circles and cast Fissure like a motherfucker."  He'd get me when I standing still, casting.

[SilentJ]

You know, I was trying to think of a boss in line with what everybody else is doing, i.e. a boss that was really, really hard to beat in-game, and would therefore be even more so in reality.  But, I think I found one that was really easy in-game, but in reality would just fuck you up.

In the SNES Star Wars: A New Hope game, you had to fight the fucking Sarlacc Pit.

[LTK]

Remember Dante's Inferno?

[Catfish_Man]

Wow. That is fucked up.

[Boro_Bandito]

that reminds me of the worm things from the remake of King Kong that eat the cook, who was also Gollum from Lord of the Rings.

[LTK]

Wow. That is fucked up.

You can also see it Om Nom Nom at the end of that video.

[Alex C]

It seems more silly than scary when put into motion. Like those wind up clacking teeth.

[clockworkjames]

Sin.

[All_¥our_Bass]

Weiss and Azul from Dirge Of Cerberus.

[Eddie 88]

I'm a twentysomething white male American with everything to prove; I'd fuck with any boss, any time, for any reason. That said, I probably wouldn't specifically choose to eff with Kefka. The psychotically violent and mentally ill usually don't let things slide.

@MadassAlex: Everyone I know had trouble with the dragon, but I just don't get it -- it was one of the easier RPG endbosses for me. I guess that's because I used the totally game-breaking strategy of unequipping all my Djinni before entering the battle, so my first turn consists of doing all the Level 4 Summons in order, and my second turn doing all the Level 3's, which probably leaves the dragon with 20-30% of its health.

snalin: What OS do you have, and what version of SS do you have? Because I had problems running the normal version of SS on Windows XP, but there's a System Shock Portable version of the executable that works just fine. It even came with a DOSbox configuration file.

[Mr. Doctor]

I don't know if you can count it as a boss but in the game "Icewind Dale II" The guardian of the Yuan-Ti is such a huge motherfucker dragon and it's not even funny to fight it.

And also... The REALLY big  bastard in games history is this one IMHO:

[Stryc9Fuego]

A new challenger appears:

Nobody else on this list has defeated not one but two humans in meatspace.

Oh my fucking god! I forgot about that guy.

What's the longest that you guys have avoided him? I've lasted like, 6 seconds and that was it, and it was only lucky because I hit two ramps in the space of a second and I narrowly avoided him through both jumps.
Fuck I hate it when he beats you because he just jumps around and taunts you. AND HE NEVER FUCKING EATS ANYONE ELSE WHO PASSES HIM

[Mr. Doctor]

No matter how graphically advanced any other monster in a game is , THAT YETI is officially the scariest motherfucker in the whole videogame history. period.

There's a way to see him in his environment and you have to go straigh up and around 110m up the mountain you can see him really close. But yeah... That's just a way to find him, not defeating him.

[satsugaikaze]

Yeah I saw the youtube vid. I also heard something about glitching him into a wall, but that sounds like one of those one-in-a-trillion chance sort of occurrences.

The only way to actually evade the yeti was to hit a ramp before he got to you, and even then you didn't get very far away from it because unless you jumped at a sicknasty speed the yeti fucking ran almost just as fast. So theoretically the only way to outrun the yeti was to continually jump ramps every second that you were in front of it.

And seriously why didn't the yeti eat anyone else that passed it? And why do the trees that don't have leaves catch on fire whenever you hit them? WHY DID THAT GAME MAKE ME CRY THE FIRST TIME I FOUND THE YETI?
