Last night, General Rahm Kota from SW:TFU on Sith Master Difficulty. God, he was almost impossible to defeat.

Also, the Stalker on Dark Sector. Took me a while to find out how to beat him.

Lady Vashj in WoW. One of the most hectic (and fun) fights. and very rewarding feeling when you kill her. Not neccessarily hard... just so many things could go wrong. definately nerve frying.

Sephiroth from KH1, "oh look, I'm winning, hoorya! (reduces health to 1 and teles behind you for the kill) Aw dangit. (20 attempts later) GOD DAMNIT!"

Devil Went To Georgia in GH3. I've never gotten that far but I have seen enough!
I watched my friends brother (who never plays anything but this game) beat it on Expert. After you beat him, it fast forwards through the song to the insane finale.

Salazar's Right Hand from RE:4. This giant, spindly scorpion thing chased me around a dank industrial environment for God knows how long. Took a direct hit with a rocket and survived. I finally managed to freeze it before exploding it with my shotgun.
That thing was horrible, but for me, "It" was worse. Why?
I RAN OUT OF AMMO.
This my first time playing a shooter that didnt have every single enemy drop ammo and i wasnt used to the way you aimed so i wen through it fast.
I ran out fighting the U3 and had to finish it with a knife.
I felt like an idiot for running out of ammo and like a baddass mofo for taking down the U3 after i ran out of bullets.

Ditto, god damn it, Alma needs to learn to die faster and not eat up so many health items on the first round, I actually had to restart the entire game because this ***** beat me down so much, I never had enough health/Ninpo items to deal with her.

While we're on the topic of cheap ass bosses, I'm going to Ninja Gaiden 2 to rip on the Lava Armadillo boss, it's easy enough to kill, but really, who the hell knew that you were supposed to hold down block when he blew up? That strikes me as cheap battle tactics quite honestly.

Screaming Mantis, from MGS4.

The dead FROGS attack you and theyre all over the place, resulting in a completely mindfucking enviornment. and then you have to worry about meryl, that shoots you with the deagle, wich takes allot of HP. Then you have to hit not the boss, but the tiny puppets shes carrying. the problem is that I cant get my aim straight, because the frogs and meryl are kicking my ass. And when you finally take a puppet, you have to do it all over again to disable meryl/FROGS.

I hated the first boss from Ninja Gaiden, the ninja master who uses a nunchuck... that was a cheap and plain insulting first boss...

I also hated the 3 "hyper" bosses from the 5 last stages of "extreme challenge" (don't remember the name, got my game card stolen and had to get it back, re-started it from scratch last weekend, beat the whole game 2 years ago for chrissakes) mode. Level 15 17 and 20, you'll have to fight x-on-1 Hyper Broly, Hyper Perfect Cell and Hyper SSJ2 Son Goku.

These HYPER characters have infinite Ki, overpowered versions of their normal moves and can grab you from further than allowed... And they're hyper fast and do 1.5 or double damage...
Only way to beat'em is having a team of 3 characters with beam supers (like goku and his kamehameha), charge Ki, spam beams, die, let the next in the team get in the ring, etc.
VERY hard and cheap, and once you've won that you've unlocked everything (provided you cleared all Story maps 100%), and the game suddenly becomes boring.

Also, some VS CPU characters in Lumines on PSP, like the Mouse, so fast that you can lose in 10 seconds top... Ridiculous.

Playing a Grand Prix in Mario Kart DS in 150cc is also something that drives me insane, it's a "cheaper than thou" contest...

To get back on whoever talked about the Portrait of Ruin bosses, I second that, the first boss alone takes billions of hits to die, and he eats away most of your health in 2 moves...

Carnage in Neversoft's Spider-Man was a monstrous boss I hated deeply, it was so hard to get him right in the middle of the sound generators and beat him...

The final boss of the internet: Anonymous (has yet to be defeated)
I thought it was Tay Zonday..
Rick Astley along with Haddaway led a 40 man raid on Tay and took him down. Only success i think. Perhaps Christopher Walkin did it as well.

But no one has even made it all the way TO Anonymous, much lest taken him down.

This was the most disappointing boss fight in the game for me. once you get the Mantis puppet its over.

The first time I ever fought Giga Bowser in Super Smash Brothers Melee. I had never even heard of the guy, had no idea he even existed. I thought I was just clearing Adventure Mode again. When that trophy floated back up from the abyss, I knew I was in it deep. That was an intense fight, at least for me.
Me too, I was so lucky I had all of my lives, yikes... x_x
Also I HATE the Crazy Hand.

Also Fontaine in Bioshock on Hard mode, it was awesome when my brother started playing the Doomsday theme from Sonic 3 and Knuckles on his computer ^_^
Speaking of Sonic, the final fight in Sonic 3 & Knuckles was pretty damn intense, flying through space avoiding missiles and meteors with that awesome music playing.

Minoes nailed it with the SNK bosses. I dare you to beat King of Fighters XI or NeoWave or NeoGeo Battle Coliseum. In the home ports you get infinite continues, but even then after some 20 tries with the boss on 1/3rd health I usually just call it quits and ask myself why I thought I had a chance this time.

If you count Guilty Gear's challenge mode as boss fights they win out though. Some of those are freakishly evil.

Terramix:
And just when you thought nobody remembered a certain game but you someone pops up with a Discworld Noir avatar. "The Anhk, the only river on which you could chalk the outline of a corpse."

person 1: Taking down anonymous? are you crazy!?
person 2: but think of the achievement we would unlock!
