Best Boss?

[TuryScrema]

Has anyone ever played a game where the final Boss hit that happy medium between being so weak that you're not even sure that they WERE the final boss (e.g. Yu Yevon, Final Fantasy 10), and being so difficult that you very nearly put your console through the screen in a futile attempt for revenge? (e.g. Saruin, Romancing SaGA)

I thought that Kessler in inFamous was a pretty good boss for this. He was difficult, but if you thought about it, was pretty easy to dodge.

I really liked dracula from castlevania: curse of darkness. Unless you were overlevelled, making the problem moot, his moves were designed specifically to screw with people who didn't rotate the camera.

Chaos from Dissidia [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_2EqQ1cNbA] and Hazama from Blazblue: Continuum Shift [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yb9IegaURI4]. These are properly done fighting game bosses that don't fucking break the game and offer a sensible difficulty compared to other bosses I've encountered. They hit that sweet spot where they are tough but in a non-cheap way.

why is it that chaos looks like a crappier diabolos in every game he's in except for his first appearance? is squeenix just reinventing him and failing?

...His design in Dissidia is directly taken from his original look. He's not really a crappier diablos if he initially looked like that to begin with. So I don't see where this "failure" you speak of is coming from. But god damn is his lvl 150 form a total ***** to fight.

I guess its all the green and red, and the bead-like stuff on him that's doing it for me.

16th Collosi is the obvious choice but I really did love Baby Bowser from Yoshi' Island for use mode 7 well and scaring the bejesus out of me.also his goofy first form was dun too.
