Actual hard bosses

At least with Greevil I'm pretty sure they upped the catch rates on his Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres to be more reasonable, considering how long it usually takes to catch them in the main series games.

High Rank multiplayer Akantor is just a dick in the ass.
Strong and tanky as a GRank boss, it has that single move of turning around and biting you with defense – plus the tailsweep that oneshots you unless you have someway of blocking or are immune to the status effect.

Golden Rajang feels fair in comparison.

Mot is piss easy.
Get 3 zio casters, stack turns on his weakness, he dies before he can even attack. And if you have a mage demifiend then it's just random mook tier.
FUCKING TRUMPETER is the "real matador" of this game

Demi-Fiend from DDS is a harder fight than Mot

That's an ULTIMATE BOSS, user. Mot is literally a mini-boss with a gimmick

Boss Order Sol and Parace are some incredibly hard fighting game bosses that are almost MUGEN tier.

Parace is stupid for many reasons.

Good thing is she's squishy and I don't think she can grab you. Best strategy is a iron defense and use super attacks to safely take her out. Fighting her straight forward is suicide.

Forgot link.

If we're talking DDS here, Meganada from the end of the second game is an utter cunt that's a huge damage sponge and changes phases constantly.

So arcade game thread?

Bosses designed to piss you off, you say?

Guess so.

Mot is easy OP. The most annoying thing is that he 90% resists all damage that isn't lightning, and will remove debuffs on himself.

I was too lazy to fuse a demon with good lightning attacks at that point in the game and I was already broken stacked with physical damage, so I just lamed him out and MP drained him/healed though his bullshit. Took like a hour, the complete opposite of a damage gate.

...

Fuck you.

Honestly I feel super uklanos is worse. The thing to watch out for with akantor is the debuff which halves your defense but beyond that patience wears him down.
Uklanos has a much more sneaky OHKO-strength icebeam and a homing swim attack which is annoying and can still catch vets off guard.

This boss has such absurd attacks it'll actually make you laugh instead of rage the first time you face him.

>still takes over a hundred hits to kill this thing

not as bad as

...

The final boss of that Ys game where you climb the tower.

Yet another thing that IZJS fixed.

He CAN get infinite turns and just outright shit on you if he fucking goddamn wishes regardless of how much you grinded or prepared.

If counting bonus bosses. I swear, the first time I played Tales of Eternia with friend, Sekundes must have taken a solid 30 minutes or more to beat, and that game usually has fast paced combat (and even boss fights tend to be over fairly fast). There's an in-series reason for him to be so ridiculously though (he's pretty much a cameo of the main antagonist of the first game in the series; fights just like him too, right down to firing lasers the whole way across the screen), and the saving grace is that once he's below X% health (depends on the difficulty what X is), you can nuke him the rest of the way to 0 with a particular spell just like in the intro for Phantasia, but just getting him to that point alone is really annoying.

You're all small-time.
This shit was so ridiculous, it had consolation prizes.

I was pleasantly surprised. Rare to see enemies abide by their own game rules (unless we take -Eye spells into account).

Try fighting these (literal) faggots on Hard. They're the first midboss and the first time through I died too many times to count. The actual boss fight itself isn't hard, but the gauntlet of mooks you're put through before them is. The trick is to break the boxes in the arena and hope for Roulette or Tension cards before you fight these 2. Beat them up with the God Hand and then try to line them up so that you dragon kick both their asses into the milky way. I dread to think of getting through this boss with the Kick Me sign (no god hand, no roulette orbs).

just send a bomb flying when it pulls out its cannons, after that its slim picking

...

Oh yeah, and THIS.

This guy will make you rage. It was impossible to beat this guy without purchasing a certain move and even with that move, it still took a lot of tries. Hardest boss in God Hand hands down (no pun intended).

(Checked)
Forgot my pic

If we're counting arcade games, can we count fighting game bosses as well?

Any metal gear boss on harder difficulties, I did a MGS1 stream not too long ago where the game DSP'd the fuck out of me and I ended up spending 1 or 2 hours on REX and the Liquid fistfight. It was neat seeing their weaknesses are almost completely unnoticeable and seem random as hell until you memorize how their AI works.

Obligatory Ys mention.

...

either this is bait or a meme i don't understand
posting the classic matador.

He's pretty easy when you have the Shaolin Blast. It's sort of a repeat of the Mr. Gold & Silver Fight strategy that you mentioned earlier.

When he summons his clones, run and make them all line up near each other so that they're all in your path when you use the Shaolin Blast. Doing so will take out a ridiculously large amount of his health to the point of almost being a OHKO.

Tricky part is having enough HP, roulette orbs, and tension gauge after doing the previous mission that had high level enemies and ended with his pupil. Haven't done a KMS run in hard mode against him yet, and I can't imagine how hellish that must be.

is this the power of emulators?!

God I miss this game.

Are there any good x360 emulators?

I fucking posted a video where the player kills the dude with no problem, good demo.

What you don't see is it's fucking giant explosion that's pretty much an instakill. You have to run away a stupid distance.

Fuck you, cunt, oi am numba wan

There are no emulators for the 360 yet. The only one I found that is in development is Xenia and that is not released yet.

These things sucked SO MUCH ASS TO FIGHT

I'm glad they removed them in the Sigma release. The whole thing basically amounts to "do I have any exploding shurikens left?"
And then you have to fight two at a time. Fuck you.

Only difficult if you never figured out how to find the upgrades screen.

Once you've beaten everyone leading up to him you've got plenty of tools that make his level trivial.

Fucking casuals.

heh

I did a Hard KMS run and after hours of trying every goddamn strategy possible, the only thing that worked was cheesing him with drunken twist

Cheesing is perfectly fine. Sensei's weakness is that he almost only hits high though.

This game had some pretty asshole bosses and minibosses unless if you wanted to be a faggot and abuse the gun.

Oh yes. Thank god I spared myself from doing it though. I had problems with the ancient mech robot thing and shot it to death pretty much then found out bullets cost infinite money and never used the gun again because of that.

Fuck Ellmac. Rest of the bosses were difficult but fair. Fuck Ellmac.

FUCK ELLMAC
