When he finished Famine I was like “damn, he didn’t include sekiro, it’s such a good game” and then he hits me with the Providence, completely obliterating my expectations of “there isn’t sekiro in this video”
That what I love about MGR. It immediately shows over the top the game is from the beginning with the fact you're fighting a metal gear for the tutorial and that gorgeous track 'rules of nature'. My personal favorite tutorial
Soldier Boss Battle Demeanor: "I'm going to strangle you with your own frilly training bra." Gameplay: Rockets and Crockets. Appearance: Burning flames Tyrants Helm. Soundtrack: Your tears. Expectations: You kill the soldier and his medic random crits you with the ubersaw.
This whole thing had me laughing but the soundtrack part Had me dying. it was beyond funny yet all too real and accurate. this comment is way too underrated I hate it.
Hades in well.. Hades was a great “Oh god it’s not over” moment for me, Don’t anger the Father from hell unless you can nuke him with crit mortar shells
And then you fuck about with Extreme Measures and realize papa has a few more tricks up his toga "Oh fuck, he heals now?" "BAD CERBERUS, NO!" "Finally.....second bar do- and there's a third bar......"
I legit called you were gonna say Sans, but then you subverted my expectations and hit me with Robot Sandy and a catchy cover song at the end. FUNKe is the greatest BOSS
@@anafu-sankanashi8933 With that logic no boss has expectations as every boss can be spolied. In-game he fits the expectations, so he fits the criteria of being a great boss
@@ThyBigCheddar I think the guy was simply lamenting all the freaking spoilers surrounding undertale fighting sans blind is... an experience but today is almost impossible
Its not hard if the Hale player is about your skill level. Especially if the version your playing has eyelander give heads per hit and shield breaks on hit
Nah I think that they are good boss battle and just because someone on internet has said that they are not that does not mean that they are not good boss fights
@@thatgreengentleman4696 challenging doesn't define good, gwyn is the only boss in ds1 with a sad theme, its more of a lore fight than tough as nails beatdown.
Sans kinda fails the Appearance and demeanor part. He doesn't act like he's the last bastion of defense against world destruction and he doesn't look special, especially not compared to other undertale characters.
Another point to make is in combination of all the previous points, the boss battle should be memorable. Pretty much successfully pulling off these points of what makes a boss battle great will instantly make them memorable such as their gameplay and music. Pokemon Champions instantly come to mind.
Gary Oak is such a simple but effective final Boss for Red/Blue/Yellow. You're constantly outplaying him, beating him despite him being slightly ahead, and then *he* becomes the champion! It's such a "no shit" move nowadays, but for a gameboy game, I really think that was pretty neat. Him constantly belittling you helped a lot, too. Make me hate, sympathize or feel SOME emotion toward a boss at all, otherwise he's just a tough guy with a banger OST and cool presentation.
There is an exception, albeit an obvious one. Memorable for the wrong reasons. Frustrating, annoying, has a shit ton of HP, voice lines. The best example if from Xenoblade (spoilers for the boss of Bionis Heart): Fucking Lorithia. She requires a specific team setup, her arena is covered in damaging ether, she's a fucking bitch, and the infamous "You'll pay for your insolence".
Then what about games where your entire mission is made out of killing said bosses, like the OG Shadow of The Colossus, or the Monster Hunter series in general? Especially now that Monster Hunter World is out; putting down beasts Like Nergigante or Deviljho (and dont get me ranting about the Arch - Tempered ones) the first time does feels like an achievement for life if you ask me.
I’d say mithrix from risk of rain 2 is one of the best boss battles in the rouge like genre. He has the iconic soundtrack, the appearance and the demeanour
Honestly, yes. He’s never too easy and never too hard, sure it’ll take you 3-5 runs before you kill him but in every fight after your still extremely careful because you know what he’s capable of.
Other good ones: -Hades from Hades His character is really well fleshed out, his gameplay is punishing and mostly unique to him, he looks really cool and intimidating, his soundtrack is fantastic (and I don’t even like metal that much), and he has a hidden second phase, and even a third hidden phase thanks to Extreme Measures. -The Queen from Dead Cells What makes her so cool is that she’s the main character but better. This subverts expectations because previously, the mc was thought to be a unique anomaly. She taunts you throughout the fight, her design is elegant and intimidating, and her relationship with the main character is surprisingly complicated. Gameplay-wise, she can do things only the player can do, like reflect, parry, and grapple. She’s not just tougher than the other final boss, she’s more interesting.
04:26 Abyss watchers never lost their purpose and did not go mad. As abyss watchers their job is to fight the abyss, unfortunately the watchers we encounter are consumed by the abyss. They still follow their orders and attack the abyss, which also happens to be their comrades.
Gwyn: Demeanor: Super hyped, shrouded in mystery, baller as hell. Gameplay: Challenging yet understated, makes you feel like you’re deserving of being the true lord. Appearance: Zeus but cooler, so iconic Soundtrack: Is almost shocking in it’s abruptness and melancholy. Expectations: Ends up being one of the most low-key bosses in the game, which is somehow more impactful than if From had just gone balls to the wall. Makes you think “woah wait, what??” Love this boss.
no way this guy has played hollow knight or he would have brought the game up during the "music reflecting a bosses personality" part other than NKG we have dung defender who is such a good example for this.
While it isn't very difficult, my all-time favorite boss battle would have to be *GANON* from Ocarina of Time. The unexpected second phase, losing the Master Sword, the dark atmosphere, Zelda screaming when you got hurt, only seeing that huge silhouette against the ring of fire that kept you from escaping, I mean DAMN that was such an epic final battle.
I prefer the battle against Majoras Mask. Its actually a real challenge (unless you are using the fierce deity mask) and it perfectly conveyed creepy atmosphere of the game. And the music is just perfect.
I still get chills whenever I listen to the original Cornered theme from the first game, and I last played an AA game six years ago. The way they snuck it in during the final case of T&T was fucking magnificent. I never expected that, but by God do I love them for it.
Nightmare King Grimm is probably my favorite boss of all time. So many deaths, so much rage, but the amazing soundtrack pushes you to try again until you win.
Demeanor: The Edge Gameplay: Also the Edge Design: Again, the Edge Soundtrack: once again, the Edge Expectations: LET’S SEE HOW PREDICTABLE YOU THINK I AM NOW
I like how by the end of this, you just leave us to figure out who the best boss battle based on what you've already shown us. This format is very entertaining.
@@birdheavy311 I wasn't expecting a giant robot being operated by a big brain zombie to be the last boss I'd fight though. It was definitely a memorable boss fight due to how out of nowhere it was and how hype I was when I beat it as a 8 year old kid.
FUNKe: You heard of boss battles; Mike Tyson Yellow devil Soldier wareing a tryonsome with a pocket medic Me:*adds on* Scout with his swag mc swag double jumping force of nature Lenny bind main
Sunlight Sage Gonna be honest, slave knight gael fits all of the requirements of a good boss. Best boss in the souls-borne-series 10/10 would fight again.
Monster Hunter be like, "We got a final boss fight for your boss fight, and sometimes you'll get an interrupting miniboss-bossfight in your normalfight-bossfight too"
i remember when i first "beat" the final boss of castle crashers i opened that big golden chest, expecting riches to rain down from the sky instead i got my ass eaten by a huge spider demon
Personally my favorite boss fights have been from Kingdom Hearts 2. They all pretty much teach you game mechanics as the story progresses, and then you have the post-game Data Battles and Lingering Will, which push your abilities to the extreme.
Thus was the best boss fight explanation video I’ve watched 😭 it’s all here, in full detail. I didn’t expect you to go through what makes a bad boss fight too. Good video !
I was during all the video like "Plis don't talk about sans for the love of god, I'm tired of that stupid skeleton and his stupid song, pls plis pliiiiiis just don't mention it, I'm ok with flowey but please dont talk about sans"
"If it doesn't have three drum sets and two distorted guitars, it isn't a boss fight." Universal collapse (devourer of gods) and stained brutal calamity (supreme calamitas): we'd like to introduce ourselves.
i still think soul of cinder is probably the most iconic final boss especially because he basically embodies the entire series through his style, soundtrack, and story.
Hey you handsome punk, you spoiled me sekiro, I hate me, but the video was really good. Continue you're my best video game funkE. It was a good idea subscribing.
The Devourer of Gods Conquest: “You are no god, but I shall feast on your essence nonetheless” “Don’t get cocky kid” “Delicious” War: Multiple attack patterns, Mini Me’s, lasers, and portals Death: big ass space worm Famine: Scourge of the Universe and Universal collapse Expectations: “Its not over yet kid”

I genuinely love the notion that for most people who enjoy playing games on its hardest mode out the gate, Armstrong's just on another level. I say this because I, too, have never beaten Armstrong, dude fucking has 200% health, the game just drops a bomb on you and I love it.
In my honest opinion I feel that Sekiro provides the best boss fights in every single way. Im a sucker for human vs human fights. I remember the second time I faced Genichiro It felt like I was actually battling an equal, the setting, the music, the badassery, everything fit perfectly into the settings and the characters.
@@danyosuna7276 literally every monster in Monster Hunter is a boss. Zorah Magdaros was only a mid-game boss. Also, all the other MH games didn't (from memory, but I'm kinda biased) have boring mid-game bosses.
Demeanor: Constantly talks down to you and constantly makes you feel like your efforts are in vain. Gameplay: Creates new weapons to deal more damage which gives the player a choice on what to attack. Appearance: Towers over you, and makes you feel insignificant. Expectations: Is actually phase 2 of this bossfight that has a beautifully animated, yet short cutscene in-between phases, said phase 1 acting as if it was the true end to the boss. Who am I talking about? Yaldab- *The mad scientist from Cuphead.*
Nobody gon talk about my boy Isshin? Dude got a sword, spear and a gun. He also has lightning attacks, several unblockables and combat arts. He's testing the player to use everything they've learned in the game. Fck Demon of Hatred tho. Mofo was a dodge-poke monster in a game where parry was established.
Nah dude at 4:43 that song builds up in intensity over time like crazy, King K. Rule's theme haunted my 8 year old brain until I finally beat it. It def works
You forgot the setup- how you’re introduced to the boss and what you know emotionally about it matters so much. (Bloodborne and gungeon spoilers) E.g. gehrman from bloodborne wouldn’t have been anywhere near as sad if you didn’t know his backstory and his role as mentor throughout the game Also the resourceful rat from etg with you having to follow the clues he leaves to navigate the maze to even get to the boss. Beating him is so much better as throughout the rest of the game he’s been constantly nicking your stuff and laughing at you

It's all Jevil now
I was during all the video like "Plis don't talk about sans for the love of god, I'm tired of that stupid skeleton and his stupid song, pls plis pliiiiiis just don't mention it, I'm ok with flowey but please dont talk about sans"
@@juanrodriguez9971 I just like the funny skeleton
He was about to say sans at the end
>mentions great boss soundtracks
>doesn’t mention Furi
:(
I was gonna say...
Furi: "Do you like boss battles? Well that's all we got so come on over!"
also
>doesn't mention Ori And The Blind Forest
fucking hell Funke
Shit soundtrack tbh.
@@Hydrolaevea There's almost no boss fight in Ori tho.
"If it doesn't have three drum sets and two distorted guitars, it isn't a boss fight."
Universal collapse (devourer of gods) and stained brutal calamity (supreme calamitas): we'd like to introduce ourselves.

Or trumpets
Ludwig the accursed and holy blade theme: _Hello There_
gotta love those calamity bells
haha bell go D O N G
i still think soul of cinder is probably the most iconic final boss especially because he basically embodies the entire series through his style, soundtrack, and story.
A badly designed boss is youtube's demonetization system
Yeah unfair hitbox and no hints of when it's going to strike, it should really be nerfed in the sequel
RUclips will just copyright strike the sequel tho
What the ffffffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuunke I know.
From what I hear it also just takes forever to beat, it’s like you’re doing chip damage to something with 1,000,000 hp.
Witness the boss tag passed down the Armstrong line FOR GENERATIONS!
DMC 3's Virgil is the best boss
not wrong
You're goddamn right
“You are not worthy as my opponent.”
No, DMC5 Vergil is better.
I just instantly fell in love with your channel. These edits and comedy are choice
the boss soundtrack for the soldier+pocket medic is the music of getting dominated
well it seems the lord has returned
spoilers for like... every single video game ever ahead (including sekiro)
HA, jokes on you, i cant play those games cuz my mommy said no (i just have a bad computer)
FUNKe Work better and you will get money
too late :(
Hey you handsome punk, you spoiled me sekiro, I hate me, but the video was really good. Continue you're my best video game funkE. It was a good idea subscribing.
Alright, he's not that mad, i'm letting this one go.
"IIIIIII aaammmm the great mighty pooooo. And I'm going to throw my shiiit at youuuu..."
The Devourer of Gods
Conquest: “You are no god, but I shall feast on your essence nonetheless”
“Don’t get cocky kid”
“Delicious”
War: Multiple attack patterns, Mini Me’s, lasers, and portals
Death: big ass space worm
Famine: Scourge of the Universe and Universal collapse
Expectations: “Its not over yet kid”
Calamity is an amazing mod

You mean every Kirby final boss? :^))))))
i see you have heard of the lord and savior marx as well
MARX MARX MAAAARRRX
M A R X
But Miracle Matter is not the final boss of Kirby 64 lmao
Planet robobot's final boss is a work of art
Mysterio from Spider-man 2 is the hardest AND best boss in history
Explain yourself one year later pls
@@Fizz-Q why
@@SlewedBoot25934 i need to know why now
@@SlewedBoot25934 oh now i see
"What defines a boss?"
" *Nanomachines, son* "
6:08 By the way he has a stand now *jojo theme plays*
I died XD
I genuinely love the notion that for most people who enjoy playing games on its hardest mode out the gate, Armstrong's just on another level.
I say this because I, too, have never beaten Armstrong, dude fucking has 200% health, the game just drops a bomb on you and I love it.
If you want another challenge you can start calamity on malice :)
In my honest opinion I feel that Sekiro provides the best boss fights in every single way. Im a sucker for human vs human fights. I remember the second time I faced Genichiro It felt like I was actually battling an equal, the setting, the music, the badassery, everything fit perfectly into the settings and the characters.
FUNKe please do a full cover of the metal gear rising soundtrack

Monster Hunters monsters are each like an amazing boss
Except the real boss, beating the huge magma thing is boring A F
@@danyosuna7276 all of them are boss fights
@@danyosuna7276 literally every monster in Monster Hunter is a boss. Zorah Magdaros was only a mid-game boss. Also, all the other MH games didn't (from memory, but I'm kinda biased) have boring mid-game bosses.
Demeanor:
Constantly talks down to you and constantly makes you feel like your efforts are in vain.
Gameplay:
Creates new weapons to deal more damage which gives the player a choice on what to attack.
Appearance:
Towers over you, and makes you feel insignificant.
Expectations:
Is actually phase 2 of this bossfight that has a beautifully animated, yet short cutscene in-between phases, said phase 1 acting as if it was the true end to the boss.
Who am I talking about?

Doing research for my thesis, stumbled upon your video, dropped a sub immidiately. You're hilarious and the video is very well made!
Gotta love when the video just tells you "btw spoilers for every game ever"
Bosses are hands down my favorite part of video games as a whole, no question about it. Thank you SO much for this vid dude!!
"Defining Great Boss Battles"
Humanoid Bosses in Character Action Games IMO
Nobody gon talk about my boy Isshin? Dude got a sword, spear and a gun. He also has lightning attacks, several unblockables and combat arts. He's testing the player to use everything they've learned in the game.
Fck Demon of Hatred tho. Mofo was a dodge-poke monster in a game where parry was established.
6:55 and that's exactly how I killed skyrim's last boss, thanks game for creating a weapon with one hit kill chance
catching up with FUNKe's uploads, but can i just say that this is easily the best form of mentioning patreon supporters.
Nah dude at 4:43 that song builds up in intensity over time like crazy, King K. Rule's theme haunted my 8 year old brain until I finally beat it. It def works
Yeah It's weird because I know he has to have heard the full song before. gangplank galleon is an intense banger fit for a final boss.

@@theprophecy-e6q Mist Noble, Covetous Demon, and Prowling Magus & Congregation are better
FUNKe has the order of the four horsemen completely out of whack.
Dude you sing sooo well and your end song was sooo good!!!!
You forgot the setup- how you’re introduced to the boss and what you know emotionally about it matters so much. (Bloodborne and gungeon spoilers)
E.g. gehrman from bloodborne wouldn’t have been anywhere near as sad if you didn’t know his backstory and his role as mentor throughout the game
Also the resourceful rat from etg with you having to follow the clues he leaves to navigate the maze to even get to the boss. Beating him is so much better as throughout the rest of the game he’s been constantly nicking your stuff and laughing at you
I would argue that fits Conquest well enough to be on the category
yes bois new video! thnx funk keep it up proud of you!
Your halfway done with Sullivan man good job, by the way he has a stand now 6:07
5:11 Props to you for jebaiting me into thinking you were gonna say headless horseman, and then talking about boss battles jebaiting you. *IRONY*
