Unpopular opinion but i don't find Wargoyle or Pyribbit that annoying or really that bad like that, i know they are not perfect but still i still enjoy their boss battles. Pyribbit is one of the most challenging bosses in Kirby's franchise, which is one of the reasons i like it. I like this boss cause its one of the few ones that don't go out too easily most bosses in this franchise. Also i think the way they adapted The Hunchback of Notre-Dame in KH was cool, i don't think it was disappointing one bit. But that's just my opinion. Ok?
The worst part about Wlly machine 7 is that in order to have a good time you have to exploit the AI. because the balls stop have way if you dash to the corner and wait the retargeting gives you a relatively easy pattern to avoid. The issue is that you have to win by cheesing this thing!
Wily Capsule is the kind of boss that makes me love pulling off cheese strats (it's basically hitting them with Charged Wild Coil, pausing, then hitting their balding ass face with Thunder Bolt), *_because it means I won't have to deal with agonizing things like that boss!_*
*sees Okumura in the dishonorable mentions* OH THAT GUY IS *MY* NUMBER 1 PICK & SPECIFICALLY THE ROYAL VERSION. Okay for some context for those not as familiar with Persona 5, basically every boss in the Royal update got reworked slightly & almost all of them for the better. the first boss got an extra minion that can power up his signature attack that also fits thematically, the second boss had the way his shield vs weak phase completely reworked in the flow to make it tie even better into him being a fraud irl, & the 3rd boss pulls out his giant mech phase FIRST this time. The ONE exception to me on the reworks making them better is Okumura. Now sure in vanilla 5 he was a mostly mindless mook rush with a time limit that ends with one last beefy dude, but what does Royal do? Oh just make it so you have to knock out all the enemies in the specific waves AT THE SAME TIME IN JUST 1 OR 2 TURNS OR THE WAVE RESETS! Now this isn't an issue for the first few because they are about as weak as a normal Shadow to you but the later waves? Especially the one from right before the big beefy boss tier enemy who doesn't have the turn limit? Beefy enough to require good use of the baton pass mechanic (fair enough test the game knowledge) but with the last one ONLY FEASIBLY BEING WEAK TO JOKER & NOIR WHERE NOIR *DOESN'T* HAVE THE ABILITY TO HAVE HER BATON PASS UPGRADED YET IN THE STORY SO BETTER HOPE YOU REMEMEMBERED TO HAVE SOME DARK OR PSY BATTLE ITEMS THAT MOST PEOPLE WOULD FORGET IS EVEN AN OPTION AT THIS POINT! Oh & to top it all off he gets one last extra bit of defense in the form of a cognitive Haru *who can pull an Electrode & blow your ass up if you aren't fast enough* so better hope Joker's Persona has a good defense stat if you fail that warning. I was LOOKING FORWARD to the boss because while I never minded him much in Vanilla he was still the worst boss in that version & all the bosses before him were IMPROVED in Royal YET HE'S FUCKING WORSE. Edit: oh yeah almost forgot the most bullshit part, HE'LL BUFF *ONE* DUDE'S DEFENSE SO SPAMMING MA- SPELLS (Ma-s being one of my main strats in the Persona games since I build my immunities around it) LIKELY WON'T KILL JUST ONE OF THEM IN TIME
10: I always go grinding before I fight this thing. Worth it... 9: I have the patience of a saint but I can understand. 8: I really need to get this game... 7: I can understand a game occasionally testing the player's patience, but in a game with a time limit? Not a good design choice. 6: I am not looking forward to fighting this guy one day... 5: Ugh! Why couldn't they make this fight more like the multi-player!? 4: This boss is why I thank God for Omega Snake. 3: *gets hip checked. OW! Why didn't I see that coming? Oh wait. I couldn't... 2: I did see that one coming. 1: Oh! BINGO! I GOT BINGO!! But in all seriousness, I heard nightmare stories about this boss from diehards. And it doesn't seem like the infamy is going to die anytime soon...
My thoughts? 10: Honestly, Frollo would've been a much better boss. And did you forget Linking with your Dream Eater pets? 9. I fought him in Planet Robobot and I was SO IRRITATED with him hopping into the background! COWARD! 8. If I want a good final boss from a 2D hack and slash, I'd fight General Gaius. 7. I remember Oscar ranting about him on his worst Zelda bosses list. "THIS IS MY FAVORITE GAME OF ALL TIME!" 6. And I thought Seth was hard to beat! But is he worse than Azazel from Tekken or Magaki from King Of Fighters? 5. This is unrelated, but I'm so excited for the third Sonic movie! 4. Sorry. Never played Prime 2. Only Prime Remastered. 3. They say hips don't lie, but I don't want to deal with THIS! 2. I still think it's stupid the plot of No More Heroes 2 is based on a sidequest. 1. Whoa... Never thought Dr Wily could be THAT tough! And those small shots deal STATUS EFFECTS?!
While I agree that Jasper's window move is BS, I feel I must make this reference since defenestration is involved: *singing* Because you're goin' out the win-DOOOOOOOOOOOW!
Well after the chaos from last week and the depression turning into a new hope yesterday, I say it's time to vent some of that rage with a boss countdown, surprised it's tomorrow and not the 25th as per usual
The Watcher Knights from Hollow Knight come to mind for me. They don't telegraph their attacks very well and decide very quickly whether to attack you on the ground or in the air, you have to fight two at a time, and there are six of them in total (5 if you find a nearby secret). To add insult to injury, they're one of the relatively few bosses actually required to reach an ending.
That DS Piranha Plant Patron pick speaks to me, imagine if you will: You’re under 15, sub ten even, Your parents get you mario party ds because you enjoyed a gamecube MP, You go through story mode, you reach the point where “only you” can defeat the Piranha Plant because the game doesn’t want computers doing your job for you… And the button mashing window is so tight you NEED to ask your parents to beat this boss for you. Not asking them to give it a try to see if they like it, you NEED their help just to beat the FIRST! *YAY*ING! BOSS! And even when you get better at it, you realize that when mashing so vigorously you RUN THE RISK OF DESTROYING YOUR A BUTTON! And beating him seven more times just for all the playable character figures is seven times too many… Aside from that, Moles from Billy Hatcher is the bane of my existence. An ice area boss in an ice rink? Say it ain’t so… Your basic eggs aren’t going to crack this walrus’ hide, and you need fruit to grow your egg big enough to send him packing. How do you get it? From breaking the ice shards while Moles charges around the rink incased a big ball of ice, during this and another charge attack he does, he’s invincible by the way! And you might be thinking “just stay out of the way of his attacks, it’s that simple!” Sadly it’s not! Your method of attack is destructible, and easily so with either charge, especially since you’re growing it to make it deal more damage, and also make it an easier target! Couple that with high speed and rng a plenty that would make this blubbering backbreaker the boost guardians brother from another mother considering billys boots have zero traction, and depending on how naive you are or if you happen to misplace that memory card, you may have to fight him more than once with his voice clips taunting you in the back of your mind and… this game seriously needs a good remake on modern consoles..
Happy 40th birthday QG! So we all know that no game is perfect. There's always that one annoyance that gets the best of us and bosses are no exception. They can either be brutally difficult, annoying, or just unfair in general. And how unfortunate that theres a big selection to choose from the past to the present.
QG, Happy Birthday dude! 🥳And yes, i agree Wily Capsule 7 is HARD... but Inafune-son wanted it to be hard on purpose?? Whoa... NOW that's just messed up! 😵
I love that it's become a low tier reference at this point of your career that every single number one final boss that you hate or a boss that you hate just has to be from a mega man game lol. I knew you were gonna pick one of the games by didn't think it was gonna be wily capsule 7 but the fact that you even mentioned that this boss angered you so much to the point where even though you're 40 you still hate that fight brings dedication to how much this boss was annoying. Great job with this list as always QG!
Happy Birthday QG! Glad to see you still got it after 40 years & it was nice to hear you rip on Jasper Batt Jr after all this time & yeah I've had those types of bosses that are within a really good games Elise from Azure Striker Gunvolt DesertMan.EXE & DrillMan.EXE from Mega Man Battle Network 3 Carmilla from Boktai 1 And Chrome Gawain from God Eater 2 come to mind
@@Bowser6495 oddly enough one thing he never mentioned in any of his rants was that in AH3 you’re only allowed the use of 1 burst per match which acts as your combo breaker, But doing so consumes your entire force gauge, Parace However can not only burst as many times as she wants, but her force gauge refills immediately after using it.
@@voltingmaster5458 ok I don't think he mentioned her using multiple bursts but I swear I remember him mentioning how she would get it back basically instantly
Damn, they put a DOOM barrel in Tails vs. Eggman mech fight #2? Didn't remember that. But I'd actually say the more damaging thing about the fight, the fact that Tails had scrapped an Eggman mech UNARMED in Adventure 1 aside, is the leadup to it: Eggman: [still holding Amy hostage] "Give me the real Emerald if you want to live." Tails: [undeterred by a friend of his being used as a meat shield] "No." Eggman: [lets Amy go] "OK, I'll kill you first fair and square." Amy: [DOES ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO HELP] Real smart of everyone and real faithful to the games' past there, guys. Woo. "ON PURPOSE!" And STILL harder than intended, but only slightly, because bad translation screws up the in-game Wild Coil explanation dialogue. Oh, Capcom. Why you gotta localize so crap? "I think [Capcom's] more than capable of [coming up with new villains]." But NOT capable of trusting them with the reins for more than one entry. SF6 is the latest proof of that with Hobo Ken Bison.
You forgot the kicker about MM7 Final Boss; The boss rush and Wily are part of the same stage. If you lose all your lives, you have to redo the boss rush as well...
Honestly, they SHOULD'VE gone through with the mech fight as the third phase of Number 2, at least then that could serve as an apology for the first two phases. Hell, I had to look up a walkthrough that shows you had to lose on PURPOSE, that's how badly they screwed up, so again using Glastonbury to wale on Jasper's derpy final form would've been the best part, man, and we'd be compensated for the pain and suffering Titanium Batt-man gave us beforehand!
"Do you think Suda would do that? Do you think anyone would do that? Make a bad boss fight to send a message" Yes on both counts. People already have made boss fights bad on purpose for the sake of a message, and I think Suda is one of the people who absolutely would do it
This was the first video I watched from you in a few years (idk I kinda just stopped for no real reason) and it made me nostalgic to hear that infectious intro theme again. Great video, QG
I wouldn't even expect wily capsule boss to be on top tier list and I don't blame you, he's hard as heck and he also gave me a hard time in megaman 9 when I faced him for the first time which I lose all my lived until I game over, curse this boss man!
there's an easy way to cheese the final mech fights in SA2-just get right up in your opponents face and keep on hammering the shoot button, your opponent won't be able to interrupt you most of the time and their health will go down pretty fast, chances are you'll be able to finish them off before they're able to fire their rockets or lasers.
The "THIS AIN'T A PART OF THIS SYSTEM" had re-awoken some memories of the other colab partner you had LONG AGO. Sure his was more better, but you did it great, just more goofy.
#1 was 100% a perfect choice. And I can relate; I despite that fight so much. And I stand by what I said about my Patron Pick: it's such a pathetic fight.
@@derrickhaggardShe's been dropping in rank since her debut in his Cheapest Bosses countdown with wiidude83. (Debut) Cheapest Fighting Game Bosses: Top Spot #1 One more try: 2nd (Latest appearance) Hated Bosses: 3rd
It honestly wouldn't surprise me if BubbleMan.EXE showed up on this list. He's the only top ranking MM boss (on the negative side of QG's lists) to actually come from a good game.
@BJGvideos Nah, Eternamax Eternatus. In a game with absolutely bad writing, Sword and Shield needed that. The Ultra games at least kept Lusamine as a sociopath, making Lillie and Gladion justified in running away, while simultaneously getting rid of that horrible attempt at a serious message. Edit: Who am I kidding? You blocked me, so you obviously won't see this in your feed.
Happy Birthday! And yeah... that Number 1... Look when guides online often advise you to get hit by the electric shot in order to use the invincibility frames to dodge the other actions, you KNOW your boss has an issue.
Number 2 of this list just gave me a reaction of dread and anger (I hate this boss with a passion. Took me like around 30 or 40 tries to beat him on NORMAL (Idk if it's the actual amount of tries I did on this boss, but judging from how long it took me for to finally beat him, it might as well be that amount of tries)
Happy Birthday, QG. It's been a blast watching your videos over the years. To hear about your own experiences from these games, and also learning new info on games and their technology, makes me eager to keep watching. Also, good countdown. Excellent footage and solid explanations. And good call mentioning the Bed of Chaos. For as difficult as Dark Souls was and still is, this boss REALLY throws the player for a loop in how, instead actually fighting the boss, you have dance around it to destroy the little bug hiding behind all the branches. And to think, this creature is part of the reason for why there are demons in the world!
Number 4: You know, now that I have experienced Prime 2, I actually didn’t find the Boost Guardian to be that bad. Sure I died a few times but I honestly was enjoying myself
I remember not having a great time fighting that boss and I was stuck on it for 3 or 4 days. Good to see that someone was enjoying the battle unlike me
10. Aw yes. I know this was Number 1 on Joshscorcher's Worst Kingdom Hearts bosses list. 9. I want to try frog legs for the first time when I see this thing. 8. Feels like a sidescrolling Anubis Rex from Pac-Man World 1 with the bullet heck mixed with platforming you've got to deal with in this fight. 7. Wasn't expecting a joke about how you accidentally showed an image of Skyward Sword instead of Majora's Mask for that segment. And MAN I wish we could just summon the Giant Soldier of Stone to destroy the moon. 6. Just realized Tabuu's screen wave attack attack is a ripoff of Seraphic wing. And Sonic was only able to interrupt it during a cutscene. 5. Speaking of Sonic. I can't add anything. 4. When I saw Metroid. I knew you what you were going to talk about. 3. I wonder if a certain BlazingKnight could turn one of these things into a good meal. 2. Aw yes. Here's someone I haven't heard anyone talk about in a LONG TIME! 1. As someone whose favorite classic game is 7. I absolutely agree. I say if anyone can use save states. I say try to do so to avoid wasting as few E Tanks & the S-Tank if possible during the boss rush.
For the Number 7 Entry, Gyrog's also Number 1 on GreenScorpion's Top 19 Worst Zelda Bosses. Also I hope you have The Inverted Song of Time and some Chateau Romani on Standby.
I remember having a rough time with that lava frog boss in the true arena, he just kept going back to the background every time after I damage him little bit and I would end up wasting so much time on that boss before I could even reach the final boss at the end
@@RavenGamingOverLordYeah. I can't imagine how irritating dealing with Pyribbit is in a boss rush that's on a time limit. At least Super Kirby Clash gives you items that can increase your strength for a battle. True Arena? Not so much.
@@Rabbitlord108 I couldn’t get to Sectonia and her new final phase most of the time because of lazy Green Frog and Dark Meta Knight. I would honestly rather fight anything else then tougher green version of that guy, Super emo Meta Knight was like my version of Shao Kahn or Malenia he just kept destroying me over and over again
2. "...Make a boss fight bad on purpose...?" Well, yeah, I mean, just take a look at Lucien's "boss fight" in Fable 2. Except it's not bad because it's cheap as hell, it's bad because it's insultingly easy. D.M.2: How fitting that the worst palace in the game also is capped off with the worst boss in the game. A lazy boss design, a boring enemy rush, and a time limit that doesn't even pause during the intermission dialogue. D.M.5: Why did it take until Elden Ring for a Souls game to include a jump button?
Wait, you're 40?! Dang, I never would have guessed. You look so much younger than that! Oh yeah, that, and you are now legally allowed to say, "I'M A MAN! I'M FORTY!"
Some of these I have faced. Wargoyle wasn't too much trouble, Pyribbit was a huge hassle, I could only play the 3DS port of Majoras's Mask so I know how bad Gyorg is. And don't get me started on Plesioth. The moment I saw the silhouette, I knew exactly what was next! I like fish, I really do. But not this fish. And I still believe there are much worse monsters in one of my absolute favorite games. Same thing with Jasper. Even though I haven't played NMH, I could tell it was gonna be him. And for the mentions? Shadow Okumura wasn't so bad personally. Just got blown up once before completely destroying all of his workers and Cognitive Haru. Giovanni as a Pokemon fan could've been better. Mogenar was pretty hard. And finally the Bed of Chaos. Let's just say the more I play DS, the more I dread the fact I'll reach this tree and have to deal with it.
With all the Party Crashers references we make in the server, I was still surprised by that reference. But hey, it made me laugh! Happy Birthday QG! Now go play Animal Crossing to relax....
Um, hate to rain on your parade, but you can't use specials even if the arena had rings for tails and Eggman, specials are multi-player only, so even in the second sonic/shadow boss which has infinite rings the opponent can use their specials all day and you can't use 1 even if you reach 999 rings.
The Discordance from Labyrinth of Galleria. Given it requires doing annoying item farm quests and backtracking to find special weapons (which can be sold), one could say without exaggerating that this fight actively makes the game worse. To go into further detail, you either need the eight weapons with Mysterious Erosion to hit the correct segment or use the abilities of the Destruction Pact to render them vulnerable to regular attacks. Unfortunately, there are *nine* segments so even if you found all the weapons you still need to go for the pact. Since said pact leaves the members as sitting ducks, you'll need to escort them until they finish casting the right spell on each part. Which is easier said than done when every single part has a chance to counter *dying* with an all targeting instakill attack. This leads to two other annoyances: the revival items heal for so little that the target will probably die right after and the computer wins the draws. The cherry on top is that, despite needing two solutions from outside the fight, you can never run from boss fights. This is especially infuriating because your first attempt is right after fighting another extremely hard boss, so you're likely to have min-maxed your pacts and would therefore have no choice but to throw the fight against the Discordance. This could also happen in later attempts if you *did* bring the Destruction Pact... but the members were wiped out too early.
I actually just beat Gill in Street Fighter 3 Third Strike just a few days ago, and I suck at street fighter! Normal mode fyi. He's really not that hard. The hardest thing about him is his resurrection move but honestly as long as you have an HP lead you can easily interrupt his revive and cause him only to restore 25% to 50% of his HP. So as long as you have more HP than him after he revives you should be good, especially when Gill's meter charges so slowly compared to other characters and he only has one bar. He almost never uses his other supers, only resurrection which can be easily interrupted so he doesn't FULLY revive. Honestly Gill is a pretty fair but difficult fight, especially if you know how to actually play the game right with blocks and parrys and supers and specials and ex moves. Unlike me, a first time player with little to no knowledge on the tech, who even then only used 8 continues on him. M.Bison in Street Fighter Alpha 3 is WAY more unfair since his special is an instakill unblocked and if you lose JUST ONCE you don't get a second chance. You just get a bad ending (M-Bison's ending) and get booted to the title screen. Yeah Gil is probably harder but at least you get infinite tries against him. Against Alpha 3 Bison you DON'T get a second chance. (at least in the arcade version, which is the version included in the collections)
Since I like to include personal honourable mentions here's three. 1. The Star Destroyer from The Force Unleashed, you have to pull it out of the sky in a certain way instead of just straight down into the planet. 2. Deathstroke from Arkham Knight, it's just a repeat of a previous boss battle which the world's greatest assassin deserves so much better then (granted most of the bosses from Arkham Knight could be on a list like this). 3. Screwball from Spider-Man (2018) Joshscorcher called her the most annoying boss fight and I agree with him, she could give Ashley from the original Resident Evil 4 a run for most annoying voice in a video game (her performer is actually very good and I'm a fan of her other work just not Screwball).
My entry would be Kamsky from Cold Fear, what a shitty way to end an otherwise solid survival horror game, it has every bad boss trope you could imagine.
12:26 actually the 1st 3d Sonic game is Sonic the fighters,not Sonic 3d blast or Sonic Adventure and StF is a solid fighting game (even Metal Sonic is a awful boss fight if you are a rookie and you don't learned all the game like the sidesteps,wall jumps all air recovery. Seriously,the skill level of the community,especially in the community tournaments are insanely skillful). P.d. some dishonorable mention for me are that boss from Armored Core 2 then was put in a unfair way comparing to the final boss of Veredict Day. Other boss besides of Metal Sonic in StF,Ares from Spartan Total Warrior is so unfair.
Wily Capsule 7 gave me hell my first time fighting him last year, but time hardens me with Mega Man. Wily laughs, I jump. I land, the orbs come out, make their first dart at me. I slide, they miss. Yeah, I still get hit every so often, but going in with a full stock of tanks makes your victory inevitable. Oddly enough, Mega Man 8 has also helped. Aside from maybe 6, I've played it the most out of every classic game and the orb attack returns, where it's the same pattern, same way to dodge, no irritating elemental effects. But that's how Mega Man is. Short games make for easy replayability, which then leads to memorizing boss patterns.
I'd be hard pressed to find a boss more hectic and easy to get blindsided by than the Dual Barons in Shantae Half-Genie Hero. Squid Baron is manageable, but Hypno Baron's constant flying around makes him a pain if you don't have a powerful-enough projectile to reach him (this is primarily a problem in Friends to the End, but the other campaigns aren't far behind if you're not well-prepared).
@@Shantae1188 Like I said, it's harder if you're not prepared and even more so if you don't have a close eye on Hypno Baron as he flies around the arena.
To think… Wily had scarred you with just one fight… for just shy of THREE DECADES. Mega Man 7 first came out in 1995, it’s 2024 now… and the scars still remain…
You will be surprised how long bad frustrating stuff in gaming can scar a player. My scar gaming experience that I will always hate is the mini game beaver bother from DK 64.
honestly i had a harder time with Akuma than Gill, but i knew about resurrection so... i eventually managed to take wily capsule without any e-tanks, and was trying to no damage it. it's extremely difficult, but consistent. as someone who likes difficult, yet consistent bosses, my pick from that game is slash man since he's extremely erratic.
Bed of Chaos may be the most infamous boss in terms of concepts that just don't work on paper, (It's sad when you understand why) but I would comfortably throw out my counter argument into the ring and say that Lud & Zallen, The King's Pets from Dark Souls 2 to be 10x worse and makes the Bed of Chaos look like a children's playground by comparison. A list of bullshit are provided by the following: 1: Boring reskin from Aava, which is a good boss 2: THERE'S TWO OF THEM?! 3: Hitting them _degrades your weapons_ 4: _Passive healing_ 5: An enraged mode that boosts one to a scary attack and defense buff when the other is slain 6: When you die, enjoy your 4+ minute runback and enjoy getting fucked in the ass by ice horses and their OBNOXIOUS tracking that's nearly impossible to avoid while you're wandering in a blizzard 7: They're in a 10 dollar DLC. There's a reason why people skip this boss in every playthrough. The *only* saving grace is that you can have up to 3 summon phantoms to help guide you through this path of pain. But if you didn't know about it beforehand? _HHAhahahahahahahaha...._
22:56 I had side on QG on this; why would the makers of No More Heroes do that, why would anyone do that?! No one in the right mind would make a boss fight that bad just for the sake of a message, this wasn't a deconstruction of it, this was played straight
Wily Capsule is why I specifically chose to skip MM7 when playing the Legacy Collection. I just remembered how much of a pain he was to fight in that game and how much I wanted to rip my hair out.
I thought I'd throw my hat into the ring, and talk about my personal pick. I adore the Blaster Master Zero Trilogy. It consists of some of my favourite games of all time. That being said, the games aren't perfect. In fact, BMZ2 has my personal pick for a Bad Boss in a Good Game. The boss mutant of Planet Montoj, Gathervira. Ok, some context. Planet Montoj is the 2nd planet in the game. During your travels across the planet, you encounter the first of the many other MA Pilots you'll encounter across the rest of the series. His name is Gonbei. He's a farmer, and the pilot for MA-05 - Kuebiko. He initially mistakes you for Zavira, a mutant notorious for devastating the crops, which prompts a battle. Thankfully, Tae (Gonbei's Support) informs him that Jason isn't his enemy (thanks to Jason's support, Eve). Then the 2 agree to help him deal with Zavira. So you make your way through the parts of Montoj you couldn't reach, with your new Recoil Jump (It's a wall jump for the tank), so you can take down Zavira. You succeed, but turns out, the fight isn't over. After heading outside, it's revealed that multiple Zavira clones fused together into a mountain monstrosity known as Gathervira, and both the Gaia Sophia crew and the Kuebiko crew work together to take it down. As for why the fight sucks? Well, it doesn't seem too bad at first. You scale the behemoth with the Hover, and shoot the gem on its head, until it stops moving, and doors open up, that Jason needs to enter alone. Rinse and repeat that 5 more times and you're done. Inside? More Zaviras. The first door has a fight against a singular Zavira, then the 2nd adds an additional one, and then the 3rd one adds another one on top of that, and then finally, the 4th one replaces all the destroyable blocks (so you can replenish your Health and Gun Level) with spikes that damage you. It's a glorified boss rush, and it drags on for SO long. And the worst part? If you die at any point? You start from the beginning of the fight. And what's worse than that? Area G consists of 2 boss rushes (1 for Tank Bosses and 1 for On-Foot Bosses), and Gathervira is there AGAIN, meaning you have to fight him TWICE. So, a glorified boss rush (of the same enemies), that takes an eternity, made worse by the fact that you have to do it a 2nd time, in the lead-up to the endgame.
3DS Gyorg goes about as fast as the N64 Gyorg, as you can just go into the water as Zora Link instead of waiting on land for phase 1, with the respawning magic jars making fast-swimming a non-issue, then use the Zora boomerangs to hit him directly if he's not near any mines to suck up (takes about 6 hits to stun). Also, the only 3DS boss that is less "open-ended" is Goht (losing the arrow trick), as all the other bosses have tricks or alternative options depending on the phase, with the "stun and then wail on them" also being true of the N64 bosses (besides N64 Twinmold, who is so simple he is pretty much just wailing on him).
Number 10 can be made somewhat easy, if you know the mog in that world sell the Balloon Command which is the earliest you can get it and every DDD players knows how stupidly broken Balloons are.

Ain't that the truth?

The worst part about Wlly machine 7 is that in order to have a good time you have to exploit the AI. because the balls stop have way if you dash to the corner and wait the retargeting gives you a relatively easy pattern to avoid. The issue is that you have to win by cheesing this thing!
Wily Capsule is the kind of boss that makes me love pulling off cheese strats (it's basically hitting them with Charged Wild Coil, pausing, then hitting their balding ass face with Thunder Bolt), *_because it means I won't have to deal with agonizing things like that boss!_*
If he’s up high it won’t work.
@@DrapionMaster2 You can still hit him with a charged Wild Coil if you hold up while firing

The one boss Sakurai decided to make into an Assist Trophy for Smash Ultimate.
You mean Sakurai?
Loved the Fawful’s Minion reference at the #1 segment.
@@trickster1963 Johnny from Guilty Gear Xrd Rev 2
*sees Okumura in the dishonorable mentions* OH THAT GUY IS *MY* NUMBER 1 PICK & SPECIFICALLY THE ROYAL VERSION. Okay for some context for those not as familiar with Persona 5, basically every boss in the Royal update got reworked slightly & almost all of them for the better. the first boss got an extra minion that can power up his signature attack that also fits thematically, the second boss had the way his shield vs weak phase completely reworked in the flow to make it tie even better into him being a fraud irl, & the 3rd boss pulls out his giant mech phase FIRST this time. The ONE exception to me on the reworks making them better is Okumura.
Now sure in vanilla 5 he was a mostly mindless mook rush with a time limit that ends with one last beefy dude, but what does Royal do? Oh just make it so you have to knock out all the enemies in the specific waves AT THE SAME TIME IN JUST 1 OR 2 TURNS OR THE WAVE RESETS! Now this isn't an issue for the first few because they are about as weak as a normal Shadow to you but the later waves? Especially the one from right before the big beefy boss tier enemy who doesn't have the turn limit? Beefy enough to require good use of the baton pass mechanic (fair enough test the game knowledge) but with the last one ONLY FEASIBLY BEING WEAK TO JOKER & NOIR WHERE NOIR *DOESN'T* HAVE THE ABILITY TO HAVE HER BATON PASS UPGRADED YET IN THE STORY SO BETTER HOPE YOU REMEMEMBERED TO HAVE SOME DARK OR PSY BATTLE ITEMS THAT MOST PEOPLE WOULD FORGET IS EVEN AN OPTION AT THIS POINT! Oh & to top it all off he gets one last extra bit of defense in the form of a cognitive Haru *who can pull an Electrode & blow your ass up if you aren't fast enough* so better hope Joker's Persona has a good defense stat if you fail that warning. I was LOOKING FORWARD to the boss because while I never minded him much in Vanilla he was still the worst boss in that version & all the bosses before him were IMPROVED in Royal YET HE'S FUCKING WORSE.
Edit: oh yeah almost forgot the most bullshit part, HE'LL BUFF *ONE* DUDE'S DEFENSE SO SPAMMING MA- SPELLS (Ma-s being one of my main strats in the Persona games since I build my immunities around it) LIKELY WON'T KILL JUST ONE OF THEM IN TIME

Because it's my BIRTHDAY tomorrow!
@@TheQuarterGuy that makes sense, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, thoughts on the upcoming new Kamen Rider?
The Watcher Knights from Hollow Knight come to mind for me. They don't telegraph their attacks very well and decide very quickly whether to attack you on the ground or in the air, you have to fight two at a time, and there are six of them in total (5 if you find a nearby secret). To add insult to injury, they're one of the relatively few bosses actually required to reach an ending.
That DS Piranha Plant Patron pick speaks to me, imagine if you will:
You’re under 15, sub ten even,
Your parents get you mario party ds because you enjoyed a gamecube MP,
You go through story mode, you reach the point where “only you” can defeat the Piranha Plant because the game doesn’t want computers doing your job for you…
And the button mashing window is so tight you NEED to ask your parents to beat this boss for you. Not asking them to give it a try to see if they like it, you NEED their help just to beat the FIRST! *YAY*ING! BOSS!
And even when you get better at it, you realize that when mashing so vigorously you RUN THE RISK OF DESTROYING YOUR A BUTTON!
And beating him seven more times just for all the playable character figures is seven times too many…
Aside from that, Moles from Billy Hatcher is the bane of my existence. An ice area boss in an ice rink? Say it ain’t so… Your basic eggs aren’t going to crack this walrus’ hide, and you need fruit to grow your egg big enough to send him packing. How do you get it? From breaking the ice shards while Moles charges around the rink incased a big ball of ice, during this and another charge attack he does, he’s invincible by the way! And you might be thinking “just stay out of the way of his attacks, it’s that simple!” Sadly it’s not! Your method of attack is destructible, and easily so with either charge, especially since you’re growing it to make it deal more damage, and also make it an easier target! Couple that with high speed and rng a plenty that would make this blubbering backbreaker the boost guardians brother from another mother considering billys boots have zero traction, and depending on how naive you are or if you happen to misplace that memory card, you may have to fight him more than once with his voice clips taunting you in the back of your mind and… this game seriously needs a good remake on modern consoles..
Happy 40th birthday QG!
So we all know that no game is perfect. There's always that one annoyance that gets the best of us and bosses are no exception. They can either be brutally difficult, annoying, or just unfair in general. And how unfortunate that theres a big selection to choose from the past to the present.
QG, Happy Birthday dude! 🥳And yes, i agree Wily Capsule 7 is HARD... but Inafune-son wanted it to be hard on purpose?? Whoa... NOW that's just messed up! 😵
Dark Souls was a whole game based on that philosophy and yet that was a lot more fair... except Bed of Chaos.
Just happy to see this guy learning to be more calm & collected in vids like this, more than anything.
I love that it's become a low tier reference at this point of your career that every single number one final boss that you hate or a boss that you hate just has to be from a mega man game lol. I knew you were gonna pick one of the games by didn't think it was gonna be wily capsule 7 but the fact that you even mentioned that this boss angered you so much to the point where even though you're 40 you still hate that fight brings dedication to how much this boss was annoying. Great job with this list as always QG!
You even made fun of an editing error from your Worst Zelda Dungeon list. Appreciate it.
Why am I getting the suspicion that Lorithia from Xenoblade Chronicles is popping up.
I am reminded of Chuggaconroy's gag, and JoshScorcher adding the Ardain guards' meme lines into said gag XD

@@voltingmaster5458 I mean it would have been rundundent since he's kinda already explained every reason for hating it
@@Bowser6495 oddly enough one thing he never mentioned in any of his rants was that in AH3 you’re only allowed the use of 1 burst per match which acts as your combo breaker, But doing so consumes your entire force gauge, Parace However can not only burst as many times as she wants, but her force gauge refills immediately after using it.
@@voltingmaster5458 ok I don't think he mentioned her using multiple bursts but I swear I remember him mentioning how she would get it back basically instantly

But unfortunately it seems that she isn’t here this time
Damn, they put a DOOM barrel in Tails vs. Eggman mech fight #2? Didn't remember that. But I'd actually say the more damaging thing about the fight, the fact that Tails had scrapped an Eggman mech UNARMED in Adventure 1 aside, is the leadup to it:
Eggman: [still holding Amy hostage] "Give me the real Emerald if you want to live."
Tails: [undeterred by a friend of his being used as a meat shield] "No."
Eggman: [lets Amy go] "OK, I'll kill you first fair and square."
Amy: [DOES ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO HELP]
Real smart of everyone and real faithful to the games' past there, guys. Woo.
"ON PURPOSE!"
And STILL harder than intended, but only slightly, because bad translation screws up the in-game Wild Coil explanation dialogue. Oh, Capcom. Why you gotta localize so crap?
"I think [Capcom's] more than capable of [coming up with new villains]."
But NOT capable of trusting them with the reins for more than one entry. SF6 is the latest proof of that with Hobo Ken Bison.
You forgot the kicker about MM7 Final Boss; The boss rush and Wily are part of the same stage. If you lose all your lives, you have to redo the boss rush as well...
As someone who's tackled this topic, very curious
Who were yours?
Honestly, they SHOULD'VE gone through with the mech fight as the third phase of Number 2, at least then that could serve as an apology for the first two phases.
Hell, I had to look up a walkthrough that shows you had to lose on PURPOSE, that's how badly they screwed up, so again using Glastonbury to wale on Jasper's derpy final form would've been the best part, man, and we'd be compensated for the pain and suffering Titanium Batt-man gave us beforehand!
Wait, you're 40?! You look younger than I do and I'm 33! Guess I'm bad at estimating ages, or I just aged a lot worse than you.
Happy 40th birthday, QG!
"Do you think Suda would do that? Do you think anyone would do that? Make a bad boss fight to send a message"
Yes on both counts. People already have made boss fights bad on purpose for the sake of a message, and I think Suda is one of the people who absolutely would do it
Happy birthday QG! And may the next video game bosses be at least more fun and bearable in future games!
This was the first video I watched from you in a few years (idk I kinda just stopped for no real reason) and it made me nostalgic to hear that infectious intro theme again. Great video, QG

I wouldn't even expect wily capsule boss to be on top tier list and I don't blame you, he's hard as heck and he also gave me a hard time in megaman 9 when I faced him for the first time which I lose all my lived until I game over, curse this boss man!
there's an easy way to cheese the final mech fights in SA2-just get right up in your opponents face and keep on hammering the shoot button, your opponent won't be able to interrupt you most of the time and their health will go down pretty fast, chances are you'll be able to finish them off before they're able to fire their rockets or lasers.

Who knows considering that they're all cheap as hell. Heck any SNK Fighting Game Boss could go on this list.
I'd love to see an inversion of this list, "Good Bosses in Bad Games"
Ultra Necrozma
yes I will hold to my belief that Ultra are the worst Pokemon games because of what they did to the plot and characters
@BJGvideos Nah, Eternamax Eternatus. In a game with absolutely bad writing, Sword and Shield needed that. The Ultra games at least kept Lusamine as a sociopath, making Lillie and Gladion justified in running away, while simultaneously getting rid of that horrible attempt at a serious message.
Edit: Who am I kidding? You blocked me, so you obviously won't see this in your feed.
Happy Birthday!
And yeah... that Number 1...
Look when guides online often advise you to get hit by the electric shot in order to use the invincibility frames to dodge the other actions, you KNOW your boss has an issue.
Number 2 of this list just gave me a reaction of dread and anger (I hate this boss with a passion. Took me like around 30 or 40 tries to beat him on NORMAL (Idk if it's the actual amount of tries I did on this boss, but judging from how long it took me for to finally beat him, it might as well be that amount of tries)
Happy Birthday, QG. It's been a blast watching your videos over the years. To hear about your own experiences from these games, and also learning new info on games and their technology, makes me eager to keep watching.
Also, good countdown. Excellent footage and solid explanations. And good call mentioning the Bed of Chaos. For as difficult as Dark Souls was and still is, this boss REALLY throws the player for a loop in how, instead actually fighting the boss, you have dance around it to destroy the little bug hiding behind all the branches. And to think, this creature is part of the reason for why there are demons in the world!
Number 4: You know, now that I have experienced Prime 2, I actually didn’t find the Boost Guardian to be that bad. Sure I died a few times but I honestly was enjoying myself
I remember not having a great time fighting that boss and I was stuck on it for 3 or 4 days. Good to see that someone was enjoying the battle unlike me
10. Aw yes. I know this was Number 1 on Joshscorcher's Worst Kingdom Hearts bosses list.
9. I want to try frog legs for the first time when I see this thing.
8. Feels like a sidescrolling Anubis Rex from Pac-Man World 1 with the bullet heck mixed with platforming you've got to deal with in this fight.
7. Wasn't expecting a joke about how you accidentally showed an image of Skyward Sword instead of Majora's Mask for that segment. And MAN I wish we could just summon the Giant Soldier of Stone to destroy the moon.
6. Just realized Tabuu's screen wave attack attack is a ripoff of Seraphic wing. And Sonic was only able to interrupt it during a cutscene.
5. Speaking of Sonic. I can't add anything.
4. When I saw Metroid. I knew you what you were going to talk about.
3. I wonder if a certain BlazingKnight could turn one of these things into a good meal.
2. Aw yes. Here's someone I haven't heard anyone talk about in a LONG TIME!
1. As someone whose favorite classic game is 7. I absolutely agree. I say if anyone can use save states. I say try to do so to avoid wasting as few E Tanks & the S-Tank if possible during the boss rush.
For the Number 7 Entry, Gyrog's also Number 1 on GreenScorpion's Top 19 Worst Zelda Bosses. Also I hope you have The Inverted Song of Time and some Chateau Romani on Standby.
@@thenightmare9368 I know.
I remember having a rough time with that lava frog boss in the true arena, he just kept going back to the background every time after I damage him little bit and I would end up wasting so much time on that boss before I could even reach the final boss at the end
@@RavenGamingOverLordYeah. I can't imagine how irritating dealing with Pyribbit is in a boss rush that's on a time limit. At least Super Kirby Clash gives you items that can increase your strength for a battle. True Arena? Not so much.
@@Rabbitlord108 I couldn’t get to Sectonia and her new final phase most of the time because of lazy Green Frog and Dark Meta Knight. I would honestly rather fight anything else then tougher green version of that guy, Super emo Meta Knight was like my version of Shao Kahn or Malenia he just kept destroying me over and over again
2. "...Make a boss fight bad on purpose...?" Well, yeah, I mean, just take a look at Lucien's "boss fight" in Fable 2. Except it's not bad because it's cheap as hell, it's bad because it's insultingly easy.
D.M.2: How fitting that the worst palace in the game also is capped off with the worst boss in the game. A lazy boss design, a boring enemy rush, and a time limit that doesn't even pause during the intermission dialogue.
D.M.5: Why did it take until Elden Ring for a Souls game to include a jump button?
Wait, you're 40?! Dang, I never would have guessed. You look so much younger than that! Oh yeah, that, and you are now legally allowed to say, "I'M A MAN! I'M FORTY!"
Apparently, he was among those who were born in 1984.
I knew the SA2 segment would have Snapcube references and it definitely didn't disappoint
Some of these I have faced. Wargoyle wasn't too much trouble, Pyribbit was a huge hassle, I could only play the 3DS port of Majoras's Mask so I know how bad Gyorg is. And don't get me started on Plesioth. The moment I saw the silhouette, I knew exactly what was next! I like fish, I really do. But not this fish. And I still believe there are much worse monsters in one of my absolute favorite games. Same thing with Jasper. Even though I haven't played NMH, I could tell it was gonna be him.
And for the mentions? Shadow Okumura wasn't so bad personally. Just got blown up once before completely destroying all of his workers and Cognitive Haru. Giovanni as a Pokemon fan could've been better. Mogenar was pretty hard. And finally the Bed of Chaos. Let's just say the more I play DS, the more I dread the fact I'll reach this tree and have to deal with it.
great vid happy birthday qg.
With all the Party Crashers references we make in the server, I was still surprised by that reference. But hey, it made me laugh!
Happy Birthday QG! Now go play Animal Crossing to relax....
Um, hate to rain on your parade, but you can't use specials even if the arena had rings for tails and Eggman, specials are multi-player only, so even in the second sonic/shadow boss which has infinite rings the opponent can use their specials all day and you can't use 1 even if you reach 999 rings.
Came here to say
Screw Arkham in DMC3
Happy Birthday, Quarter Guy! I hope your day goes well.
It says a lot when 7 was my first Mega Man game, but I only beat it for the first time this month
The Discordance from Labyrinth of Galleria. Given it requires doing annoying item farm quests and backtracking to find special weapons (which can be sold), one could say without exaggerating that this fight actively makes the game worse.
To go into further detail, you either need the eight weapons with Mysterious Erosion to hit the correct segment or use the abilities of the Destruction Pact to render them vulnerable to regular attacks. Unfortunately, there are *nine* segments so even if you found all the weapons you still need to go for the pact. Since said pact leaves the members as sitting ducks, you'll need to escort them until they finish casting the right spell on each part.
Which is easier said than done when every single part has a chance to counter *dying* with an all targeting instakill attack. This leads to two other annoyances: the revival items heal for so little that the target will probably die right after and the computer wins the draws.
The cherry on top is that, despite needing two solutions from outside the fight, you can never run from boss fights. This is especially infuriating because your first attempt is right after fighting another extremely hard boss, so you're likely to have min-maxed your pacts and would therefore have no choice but to throw the fight against the Discordance. This could also happen in later attempts if you *did* bring the Destruction Pact... but the members were wiped out too early.
Your 100% on with wily capsule from 7
I actually just beat Gill in Street Fighter 3 Third Strike just a few days ago, and I suck at street fighter! Normal mode fyi. He's really not that hard. The hardest thing about him is his resurrection move but honestly as long as you have an HP lead you can easily interrupt his revive and cause him only to restore 25% to 50% of his HP. So as long as you have more HP than him after he revives you should be good, especially when Gill's meter charges so slowly compared to other characters and he only has one bar. He almost never uses his other supers, only resurrection which can be easily interrupted so he doesn't FULLY revive.
Honestly Gill is a pretty fair but difficult fight, especially if you know how to actually play the game right with blocks and parrys and supers and specials and ex moves. Unlike me, a first time player with little to no knowledge on the tech, who even then only used 8 continues on him. M.Bison in Street Fighter Alpha 3 is WAY more unfair since his special is an instakill unblocked and if you lose JUST ONCE you don't get a second chance. You just get a bad ending (M-Bison's ending) and get booted to the title screen. Yeah Gil is probably harder but at least you get infinite tries against him. Against Alpha 3 Bison you DON'T get a second chance. (at least in the arcade version, which is the version included in the collections)
Happy birthday dude.
Wargoyle may be a pain, but the song, Majestic Wings, is beautiful.
I want a RWBY fighting game one day.
Have you even played Tactical Nexus?
Since I like to include personal honourable mentions here's three. 1. The Star Destroyer from The Force Unleashed, you have to pull it out of the sky in a certain way instead of just straight down into the planet. 2. Deathstroke from Arkham Knight, it's just a repeat of a previous boss battle which the world's greatest assassin deserves so much better then (granted most of the bosses from Arkham Knight could be on a list like this). 3. Screwball from Spider-Man (2018) Joshscorcher called her the most annoying boss fight and I agree with him, she could give Ashley from the original Resident Evil 4 a run for most annoying voice in a video game (her performer is actually very good and I'm a fan of her other work just not Screwball).
Having done some pretty damn obnoxious voices for roles myself, that last point is utterly hilarious.
My entry would be Kamsky from Cold Fear, what a shitty way to end an otherwise solid survival horror game, it has every bad boss trope you could imagine.
Happy Birthday QG! Here, have a big hug!
24:40 Yes Finally Someone Mentions This Accursed Vegetation
12:26 actually the 1st 3d Sonic game is Sonic the fighters,not Sonic 3d blast or Sonic Adventure and StF is a solid fighting game (even Metal Sonic is a awful boss fight if you are a rookie and you don't learned all the game like the sidesteps,wall jumps all air recovery. Seriously,the skill level of the community,especially in the community tournaments are insanely skillful).
P.d. some dishonorable mention for me are that boss from Armored Core 2 then was put in a unfair way comparing to the final boss of Veredict Day. Other boss besides of Metal Sonic in StF,Ares from Spartan Total Warrior is so unfair.
"I don't care how many alternate accounts you have!" lol I get the reference!
8:41 THANK YOU OMG!
I always, and will always hate this change in the remake.
Wily Capsule 7 gave me hell my first time fighting him last year, but time hardens me with Mega Man. Wily laughs, I jump. I land, the orbs come out, make their first dart at me. I slide, they miss.
Yeah, I still get hit every so often, but going in with a full stock of tanks makes your victory inevitable.
Oddly enough, Mega Man 8 has also helped. Aside from maybe 6, I've played it the most out of every classic game and the orb attack returns, where it's the same pattern, same way to dodge, no irritating elemental effects.
But that's how Mega Man is. Short games make for easy replayability, which then leads to memorizing boss patterns.
I remember seeing someone else play Megaman 7. My first reaction to the Wily Capsule was "How the hell do you even dodge that!?"
I'd be hard pressed to find a boss more hectic and easy to get blindsided by than the Dual Barons in Shantae Half-Genie Hero. Squid Baron is manageable, but Hypno Baron's constant flying around makes him a pain if you don't have a powerful-enough projectile to reach him (this is primarily a problem in Friends to the End, but the other campaigns aren't far behind if you're not well-prepared).
I haven’t touched Half-Genie Hero in a long time, but I honestly don’t recall the boss being that bad
@@Shantae1188 Like I said, it's harder if you're not prepared and even more so if you don't have a close eye on Hypno Baron as he flies around the arena.
To think… Wily had scarred you with just one fight… for just shy of THREE DECADES.
Mega Man 7 first came out in 1995, it’s 2024 now… and the scars still remain…
You will be surprised how long bad frustrating stuff in gaming can scar a player. My scar gaming experience that I will always hate is the mini game beaver bother from DK 64.
@@shadowlinkbds The good news is that you don't need to 100 percent DK 64.
I'm glad at Number 9 mine definitely got notice. I said what and I meant to complain for Pyribbit.
Surprised the Human Reaper Larvae from ME2 didn’t make the cut
honestly i had a harder time with Akuma than Gill, but i knew about resurrection so...
i eventually managed to take wily capsule without any e-tanks, and was trying to no damage it. it's extremely difficult, but consistent. as someone who likes difficult, yet consistent bosses, my pick from that game is slash man since he's extremely erratic.
Bed of Chaos may be the most infamous boss in terms of concepts that just don't work on paper, (It's sad when you understand why) but I would comfortably throw out my counter argument into the ring and say that Lud & Zallen, The King's Pets from Dark Souls 2 to be 10x worse and makes the Bed of Chaos look like a children's playground by comparison.
A list of bullshit are provided by the following:
1: Boring reskin from Aava, which is a good boss
2: THERE'S TWO OF THEM?!
3: Hitting them _degrades your weapons_
4: _Passive healing_
5: An enraged mode that boosts one to a scary attack and defense buff when the other is slain
6: When you die, enjoy your 4+ minute runback and enjoy getting fucked in the ass by ice horses and their OBNOXIOUS tracking that's nearly impossible to avoid while you're wandering in a blizzard
7: They're in a 10 dollar DLC.
There's a reason why people skip this boss in every playthrough.
The *only* saving grace is that you can have up to 3 summon phantoms to help guide you through this path of pain. But if you didn't know about it beforehand? _HHAhahahahahahahaha...._

I had side on QG on this; why would the makers of No More Heroes do that, why would anyone do that?! No one in the right mind would make a boss fight that bad just for the sake of a message, this wasn't a deconstruction of it, this was played straight
Yeah, nothing like a bad boss in an otherwise good game.
And happy birthday.
Fitting how I battled jasper 2 years ago after watching your videos after a decade, FUCK THE WINDOWS
Wily Capsule is why I specifically chose to skip MM7 when playing the Legacy Collection. I just remembered how much of a pain he was to fight in that game and how much I wanted to rip my hair out.
I thought I'd throw my hat into the ring, and talk about my personal pick.
I adore the Blaster Master Zero Trilogy.
It consists of some of my favourite games of all time.
That being said, the games aren't perfect.
In fact, BMZ2 has my personal pick for a Bad Boss in a Good Game.
The boss mutant of Planet Montoj, Gathervira.
Ok, some context. Planet Montoj is the 2nd planet in the game. During your travels across the planet, you encounter the first of the many other MA Pilots you'll encounter across the rest of the series.
His name is Gonbei. He's a farmer, and the pilot for MA-05 - Kuebiko.
He initially mistakes you for Zavira, a mutant notorious for devastating the crops, which prompts a battle.
Thankfully, Tae (Gonbei's Support) informs him that Jason isn't his enemy (thanks to Jason's support, Eve). Then the 2 agree to help him deal with Zavira.
So you make your way through the parts of Montoj you couldn't reach, with your new Recoil Jump (It's a wall jump for the tank), so you can take down Zavira.
You succeed, but turns out, the fight isn't over.
After heading outside, it's revealed that multiple Zavira clones fused together into a mountain monstrosity known as Gathervira, and both the Gaia Sophia crew and the Kuebiko crew work together to take it down.
As for why the fight sucks?
Well, it doesn't seem too bad at first. You scale the behemoth with the Hover, and shoot the gem on its head, until it stops moving, and doors open up, that Jason needs to enter alone. Rinse and repeat that 5 more times and you're done.
Inside? More Zaviras.
The first door has a fight against a singular Zavira, then the 2nd adds an additional one, and then the 3rd one adds another one on top of that, and then finally, the 4th one replaces all the destroyable blocks (so you can replenish your Health and Gun Level) with spikes that damage you.
It's a glorified boss rush, and it drags on for SO long.
And the worst part? If you die at any point? You start from the beginning of the fight.
And what's worse than that?
Area G consists of 2 boss rushes (1 for Tank Bosses and 1 for On-Foot Bosses), and Gathervira is there AGAIN, meaning you have to fight him TWICE.
So, a glorified boss rush (of the same enemies), that takes an eternity, made worse by the fact that you have to do it a 2nd time, in the lead-up to the endgame.
Maybe they made Wily so hard because they wanted Mega Man to have a reason to shoot him.
Probably
Happy 40th Birthday Quarter Guy. With this countdown done, the Top 10 Good Bosses In Bad Games countdown will arrive soon.
3DS Gyorg goes about as fast as the N64 Gyorg, as you can just go into the water as Zora Link instead of waiting on land for phase 1, with the respawning magic jars making fast-swimming a non-issue, then use the Zora boomerangs to hit him directly if he's not near any mines to suck up (takes about 6 hits to stun).
Also, the only 3DS boss that is less "open-ended" is Goht (losing the arrow trick), as all the other bosses have tricks or alternative options depending on the phase, with the "stun and then wail on them" also being true of the N64 bosses (besides N64 Twinmold, who is so simple he is pretty much just wailing on him).
seeing number 4 on this list gave me a serious internal Gamer PTSD episode!
Velvet Chair Girl: No More Heroes 3
Number 10 can be made somewhat easy, if you know the mog in that world sell the Balloon Command which is the earliest you can get it and every DDD players knows how stupidly broken Balloons are.
10:18: You threw in the *UNKNOWN ITEM ACQUIRED* sound from Zero Mission, dude. Great game, by the way.
