Escapist Community I ask you, Who in your opinion is the most awesome boss you've ever had the honor of fighting

My say is the one of the ever persistent antagonists of The Metroid series

I am going to have to definitely go with the REX vs RAY fight in MGS4.

Who would have ever guessed? Snake piloting a Metal Gear.

The Sixteenth Colossus, because it was at the end of a great game and it had some of the best boss music of all time. Of all time! [sub]/kanye[/sub]


It's simple, yet dark and sad, and it gives the distinct feeling that the enemy has won. Which is even worse considering that the enemy... Is you.​

He gets a pretty bad rap as one of gaming's most overrated characters, and around the time Kingdom Hearts was released, I was mostly in agreement with that belief.

Still...
It was so damn cool to fight him.

Dr Robotnik, sonic 1-3 (NOT EGGMAN!!!) would have to be my favorite boss of all time. man did he have some good ideas, if only he could create an alloy resistant to a hedgehog jumping on it

I used to work for this guy named Chad, and he was pretty much the coolest boss ever. He got us pizza randomly, joked around with us, stuff like that. Plus, he got shot and lived to tell the tale.

But seriously, as far as video game bosses, my favorite would have to be Robotnik as well. I mean, the guy was an evil mastermind, turned woodland creatures into evil robots, and managed to do so while seemingly never leaving his central command cockpit, which fit into every evil contraption.

He was, but in Kingdom Hearts, he goes on a search for his archenemy Sephiroth and ends up getting involved with the wrong crowd. Long story short, he makes a deal with Hades and agrees to kill Sora, the main character of the game, in exchange for help with finding Sephiroth.

It's a fun fight.

Jubileus from Bayonetta... That fight was so incredibly epic. I still fight her occasionally just for the fun.

Vergil's where it's at. Badass-looking, stylistically Dante's match (down to having weapon-switching), and also has five of the <url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdSvIPWVyjU>most <url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpJj5xY1m5A>awesome <url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7vIh5H5Q7M>themes in the games, alone.

Yes, I'm including "<url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWMGBhpJS78>Ultra Violet" and "<url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWMGBhpJS78>Super Ultra Violet" from the first Devil May Cry in that statement.

*insert boss from Demon's Souls here*

Might have to give the best boss in the game to the Tower Knight though.

Or perhaps Ganon from about every Zelda game, particularly in Ocarina of Time, though that's more just because the game was so epic.

With God of War III out in just one day my mind may very soon change though ;).

The Last Boss in Duke Nukem 3D. The huge stadium, dodging rockets that would kill you in one hit. Awesome.

I'm going to have to go with
the nine-tailed fox in Okami, specifically the Rao incarnation.

For some reason, that boss fight was really fun.
