There's a reason why this guy is the most mentioned name so far.elbowlick said:
The only boss that can perfect you every single time through no fault of your own if his AI lets him. It isn't "this guy has some pretty bullshit stuff" or even "you have to pull a perfect game". No. If the AI says so, you can't win. That's the definition of cheap.
High priority, near-instant, no-recovery, AoE 10-second stuns can fuck off.
the tuffest boss ive ever fought in any game was actualy just a random mini boss.
game diablo 2:
boss: a named spider
observed properties: life regen, aura (damage return), magic resistant, fire imune
It took one hit from me and I DIED!
our tactic for beating it involved runing round like lunies with bows trying to poison it to death, while using skellies to get in the way - took bloody ages.
There were 2 of us and the 'dificulty' was set to 8 players tho - this may account for the effort involved. in my estimation this little spider was about 5 times nastier than diablo.

I'd have to say One-eyed Jack from Borderlands. I ran him over in a runner. The bandits can't have hired that guy for more than minimum wage.
Oh, you meant hard to beat. I'm not really sure.
Although not really a boss, the Will o' the Wisps in Oblivion were by far the cheapest enemies I've ever had to fight. Simultaneously draining your health, magicka and fatigue while healing themselves and having invincibility to normal weapons--that's bullcrap.

Jinpachi is probably the most broken.
Heaven or Hell Mode isn't hard, it's just unforgiving. And boring.
Oh, and I'd like to add Magaki (King of Fighters XI) and second whoever said Hiruko from Shinobi. I just couldn't get close to him fast enough, so he kept teleporting around, and it's just about impossible to dodge all the attacks unless you're insanely good at timing jumps/dashes.
You're kidding, right? One bullet from Ebony and Ivory will kill pretty much all the bosses. Not to mention the crazy crap you can pull with Quicksilver.jboking said:

Haha the Reaper in God Of War, the one on psp. Sorry, don't own it, just played it at a friends. But yeah, he has to kill you to advance the storyline. You can either let him kill you straight out or, as I did, attack him for a while until he uses an undodgeable one hit kill attack. Fairly cheap, no? 
I would have to say the camera in Ninja Gaiden 2 on x-box 360.
and yes, when you play it on master ninja, you are allowed to count the sucky camera as an extra boss (if not the worst one).

I notice a lot of people saying about the Prototype bosses, but I actually thought it was the other way round in a way. I felt like the cheap one for the way I beat them, but the problem is, if you don't play dirty, you won't be playing long. Elizabeth Greene was pretty easy, the 'extendo-tentacle of death' pretty much solved that battle for me.
It does make it easier that your character has no moral compass, so play as dirty as you like, no one's going to judge you.
As for the Al Bhed Psyches on Blitzball, they may be hard, but there's no better feeling than the first time you beat them. Except maybe forcing the Ronsos to concede a match before it was over, can't remember what the score was, but I felt pretty damn proud, especially with a team made up of only the original Aurochs.
As for Sephiroth in Kingdom Hearts (the first one, I never got in to the second), I wouldn't say he got really cheap until he used Angel (EDIT: For those who don't know, Angel instantly reduces you to 1HP and 0MP). Unless you count the fact that he had at least one whole invisible health bar, so there were times when you wouldn't know if you'd done any damage to him at all.

the boost gaurdian from metroid prime 2. while certainly not the cheapest boss ever,it certainly is cheap, what with having a nearly undodgeble attck( and when you dodge it, it's through luck.) that takes off about 50-70 damage(which is a crapload at that point.), having an invincible form until you've hit him with like 8-11 bombs, constantly spawning enimies, and your life is constantly draining. if that's not cheap, then my foot is made out of cheese.
easiest boss was the final boss from ffx
after beating all the dark aeons the finale was just lame
few turns downed
hardest boss would be same game penance
was pure luck i managed to beat him all aeons dead summoned yojimbo as my final shield vs his countdown atk bam insta killed boss for free
tried again few years ago managed to beat him third try after looking at a walkthrough
which is something i only ever do when im totally out of options

Actually yes, someone on this site told me that a while ago.UmbrellaAssassin said:
However it was after I beat the damn thing on the hardest difficulty, and I'm still pissed about it since it didn't really give me any indication where to go.
Still, it was nice to go back and fucking destroy that thing knowing about the lower level...
Oh my god I fucking hate that dude.Kramerica said:
I had to beat him by grinding a caterpie into that butterfly thing to beat him.
Dude, play DoA4... When you get to the final boss. Tell me that NG2 was still made by Hitler, because if it was made by Hitler, then DOA4's boss was made by Satan himself.Zing89 said:
Yes, that move was ridiculous. Also, she could disappear and reappear whenever she felt like it. Since you couldn't play or practice as her, it was very difficult to counter her moves.Giantcain said:
