Favorite boss battle of all time easily goes to specter's helicopter from the original Ape Escape. Epic fight on a skyscraper? Yes Please.

EDIT: I must give an honorable mention to giygas of course :p

For me it was Tarturus from Halo 2. It was pretty epic especially on Legendary/
Oooh Nice choice.

Me, personally I'd have to say either

[HEADING=2]Final Hazard in Sonic Adventure 2[/HEADING]



or
[HEADING=2] The last fight with Vergil in Devil May Cry 3[/HEADING]


Those fights always proved to be the most epic and personal favorites for me mainly because I got to see Sonic and Shadow in their super forms fighting together.
Secondly I loved the last fight with Vergil because he proved to be a final boss that was actually the hardest boss to beat. The fight had you using every trick you learned throughout the game and kept you on your toes the whole time.

It's the only thing in a video game which I would call epic.
Hmmmm the 15th, and 16th imo proved to be the most epic with the 3rd, 12th and 13th pulling up the rear.

Final Fantasy X. Can't really say much about it without giving spoils, but that boss was FUCKING EPIC. those games do a really good job of making boss battles feel epic. Not really the funnest boss battle for me but definitely my favorite.

definitely jon irenicus from baldurs gate 2, hes the most powerful mage in existance and probably has the best sayings ever, plus he has a great voice actor, makes it all the better to smash his face in with a 2 handed sword!

God or Balder in Bayonetta. The first one is...Well, You fight god! How can that not be awesome! While the second one makes you fight him on a piece of a building while it falls down.

Or maybe just every boss battle in Bayonetta.

I'm probably going to catch a lot of flak for this, but Shattered Dimensions had some pretty excellent boss battles. The only one I can say wasn't well done was the last bit with Mysterio. I would say the one I liked most was Vulture from the Noir universe. The rest of that level was a poorly thought out mess, and the stealth mechanics are for shit, but the fights with him were amazing.

There's a few really.

Leon Bell from Dead Rising 2 mainly for the awesome song and Slicecycles.
The Strider Battle from HL2:ep2 as I guess it's a sort of boss battle
Wheatly from Portal 2, cause well that's one hell of a way to resolve a stalemate
and finally fighting the afro'd guy from little big planet, I don't know why exactly.

Despite the insane difficulty of just reaching the battle, let alone winning (f*** Youmu up the arse with her own sword), everything about it just clicks in a way that's hard to describe.
I thought you loved her! (must play one of these games some day)

For me, I cant decide out of all the battles in Devil May Cry 4, I loved that game.

Actually mabey the last boss in Jak 3.

The 13th one is my personal favorite, Phalanx just has this air around him of being both elegant and colossal - like a huge dragonfly born from the earth itself.

Of course, one could wonder how "fair" it is to pick bosses out of a game where the boss fights are, in fact, the only action filled portions of the game. :)

My would have to be Henry from No More Heroes. It's a simple one on one duel at the car park in Travis motel but the fight is epic. Also Henry has an awesome instant kill move as well.

Also that huge robot boss fight in Metroid Prime 2 Echo is awesome aswell since it take statergy to kill it than to somehow nuke the thing (you had to morph into ball form and crawl onto its legs and plant bombs on the joints).

Do modded Boss fights count? The Manimarco Revisited Mod REALLY made my Favourite Oblivion Boss a Bad ass!


If not, then I would choose either GLaDOS from Portal, Wheatley from Portal 2, or Jack of Blades from Fable.

Really it's hard to choose, all boss fights are different and all fit in with the story (hopefully). I would of choose Lucien Fairfax from Fable II, but he's probably not a boss fight.

As a character, it's mostly because I see a lot of myself in her. As a boss, well...You know how it's nearly impossible to do bullet-time in multiplayer games, because everyone would need to have it on at once and it wouldn't do much except make it easier for your targets to get out of the way or behind cover, when they otherwise would probably have been another headshot for your tally? The fight with Youmu is pretty much that, except you're the target.

Hrrrrrrr, the most epic boss-fight ever... I actually quite liked fighting against Cross (The first battle VS him) in Prototype, but I have to give my award to Devil May Cry 3-4. After all, last fight versus Vergil, and last fight against Dante (As Nero) are epic, both of them.

I'd say the Paper Mario, Pikmin and Sonic games (even the declining ones) all had really good, very challenging boss battles.

Dark Falz. PSO Ep 1. Ultimate is just fun. Though Saint-million that dammned sand dragon from Ep 4 puts up a good fight.

Most of the Boss fights in Panzer Dragoon Orta are among my most memorable (and favourite) boss fights.
