Pretty much anything from a 3D Zelda, though Jallhala from Wind Waker holds a special place in my heart for the bizzarly hilarious death sequence where he realizes that all his minions got served, panics, and ends up killing himself.
Lurtz in Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (PS2).
You could control him by covering behind some statues and move the instant he attacks, rendering his sword stuck upon the impact on the statue. This was the way to defeat him. However, you could, if you wanted (and had what it took) beat him fair and square. Simply mix your block 'n' hits and defeat him. This was not an easy task. You had a small window to strike him, if you failed, he would hack you up. If I remember correct, you had to 'dodge' as well in order to defeat. Seeing that there was no real 'dodge' mechanic, you had to swiftly run away and return even quicker to strike.
What I really like about this is that, even though you were supposed to lure him to hit those statues, you had the opportunity to defeat him 'fairly'.
I really despise quick-time-event-esque gameplay. Where you either have to use quick-time-events or defeat a boss in silly stages. Where you at first dodge his spells (that for some reason he can't use all the time) and then when he suddenly comes out of cover to mock you, you strike. Lurtz' boss stage was similar, but with the choice of fighting him the standard way.
kthxbye

Amazing,epic,emotive and finally being able to use a metal gear.Awesome.
I greatly enjoyed fighting Yeager in Tales of Vesperia. Getting the secret mission on the other hand...
Yiazmat from FF12. He literally took several hours to beat. So if you messed up and died, you had to start from the begin 
Why do you think that exactly? I'm not disagreeing, just curious.Woodsey said:
More OT:
Nothing has ever beaten that one for me.
How could you guys forget the boss battle game... Shadow of the Colossus. Pretty much every single one was totally awesome.
Didn't he have 50 million Hp?GodsClown said:Yiazmat from FF12. He literally took several hours to beat. So if you messed up and died, you had to start from the begin
