Has there ever been a final boss in terms of being as impactful/meaningful to the player as this?
You know what would be cool? If they remade this game for the 3DS, and Red's team would be based off of your cleared save data from the Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow virtual console port if you have it installed. Whatever team that was recorded at the Pokemon League machine would be the same team he uses against you but higher leveled.

ZoE 2 after having finished ZoE 1 running from Anubis with your tail tucked behind your legs.
>>322187298
Um, yes? Red is just a lame Mary Sue.
>>322187298
I think one of the SMT games has you fight the protagonist from SMT: Nocturne. It plays the normal battle music from Nocturne because apparently you're just another random encounter to him.
>>322187298
Kotor 1/2s
It would have been cool if at the end of Majora's Mask, Link came face to face with his original self, wielding the Master Sword. When you defeat him, the sword is left in the woods for Link to find in TP, as you both help each other ride to Hyrule.
In b4 what 'original self.' Link doesn't replace himself when he goes back in time at the end of OoT. Skull Kid is proof of this because Link doesn't learn Saria's Song until after talking to Zelda, meaning HE isn't the one who taught it to him. But this is evident from his dialogue anyways (you smell just like that guy who taught me that song in the woods).
I was gonna say FFX but then auto-life bullshit happens and it becomes gay as fuck.
>>322187298
Vergil 3 is the best final boss because it is a sibling rivalry, your equal in terms of combat and what he can do. there's also emotions in the battle as vergil is dante's brother, so he has to kill him for the sake of the human world, even though vergil is dante's brother.
In Guild Wars 1 you fight an exact clone of your character with the same abilities and eqipment. You have to use you abilities better than the AI because you're on equal termsor you can just cheese it by giving it skills that will make it kill itself
>>322187298
Not for me. Love this so much.
it's meaningful self inserting as a kid because it's like "fighting your past self", otherwise it's pretty generic
>>322187298
Fuck no.
Imagine playing this again around the time gold and silver came out. Chances are, most people used a similar party red used while playing the original games because of the anime and that made it all the more familiar.
>>322189736
Fights like this are AMAZING. It becomes a battle of how well you know the character you've been playing for the past however many hours. I really wish devs would do this more.
>>322187298
MGS4 was designed with the nostalgiafag in mind so, yeah, the fight against Screaming Mantis
Who the fuck find those "equal 1v1 flatground final destination" bosses good?
Its like an excuse to avoid making the rest of the game good, those duel bosses should be generic enemies, not final bosses.
>>322190148
1v1 equal matched humanoid opponents are cool, especially when the rest of the bosses are giant monsters
>>322190326
Like i said, who find these cool? I find it a dead horse that was never good.
despite being a JRPG and adventure, Zelda OOT and FF6 did it right by making the final boss something decent.
Using the souls series as an example, majority of the bosses are dudes in armor, and thats kinda overdone, how about putting an effort on non entities.

>>322188109
If they were willing to do that, they would have done it in Hg/Ss by having Red's rematch team (so it can't be cheesed) be whatever the team was in the player's Fr/Lg cart that was in the DS's GBA slot.
>>322190148
>>322190718
I find them cool too.
>>322190718
Demon's Souls featured loads of bosses that were nonhuman. Out of the 21 bosses, only 5 were human.
>>322188519
>Red
>Mary Sue
Sorry that he actually takes Oak's mission seriously instead of goofing off as an ageless dumbass like Ash.
>>322191661
Ash has had more experience with many different Pokémon and regions than Red ever has. Also when did Red save the world or protect legendary Pokémon?
>>322191860
He just caught them
>>322191485
I was giving a example, also you are not taking the minibosses into account.
Remember those upgraded hunters from BB? like Cathedral ward duo and Djura's gang.
Things like that.
>Great build up
>Amazing music
>Crazy time warp background
>High stakes
>Hilarious unexpected gimmick
For such a goofy looking final form, this fight is pretty epic.
>>322191661
>Poliwrath
>>322191860
If were talking Game-wise, the game was more focused on him becoming the Pokemon champion and completing the Pokedex, which the series is supposed to focus on.
Manga-wise, He saved/helped save the world 5 times. And it's hard to protect legendaries when nearly every legendary attempt to kill him and his friends.
>>322192494
>the game was more focused on him becoming the Pokemon champion and completing the Pokedex,
could've sworn the focus was catching all the Pokemon
>>322187298
Flowey in Undertale. Blows your lame anime games out of the water.
>>322192763

If only you could actually read instead of hurrying to shitpost.
>>322192763
>catching all the Pokemon
Do you know what the Pokedex is, son?
>>322192346
That final form looks pretty badass for a game of it's time
At least an unbiased opinion to someone who hasn't play Chrono Trigger before
I mean really, you have a frog on your time and that boss looks goofy to you?
>>322192943
play it
>>322192764
>Blows your lame anime games
>Is a wholesale ripoff of them, even in gameplay.It doesn't matter if this is genuine or falseflagging. You're both fucking terrible.
>>322192943
The gimmick is thatthe left ball is the actual boss and the other two are just shields/decoys.
>>322192943
He is pretty goofy, especially compared to his first 2 forms.
That said, I do like his final form. I enjoy that he gets so small and kinda silly in his ultimate final form.
>>322192764
Flowey wasn't even the final boss. His shonen rabbit form was.
>>322192763
>theshitpostingbegins.jpg
>>322193239The right ball is the true core.
>>322187298
Nigga the average Metal Slug boss has more impact than that shitfest.
>>322188109
i was thinking of the exact same thing, especially since they deliberately save your champion roster
>no one posted this

yes. easily. more so then your pic
Not the final boss but pretty fucking awesome

kind of a shitty fight imo, maybe i just suck
>>322187298
>pic related
Also Ike vs Black Knight
Just a clean 1 v 1 while the battle is going on.
I actually think Skull Kid is really impactful if you have played OoT. I know he isn't the final boss, but he was a lonesome guy on OoT and on MM is just him doing a lot o shit because of this.
they should have done this in every pokemon game, or at least bw2
>>322189889
If the person played Yellow version this hit even harder.
uhh wtf? Is this thread b8?
Please end yourself. This is fucking retarded.
>>322187298
>final boss
can't name one but I liked the Tigrex encounter in MHF2. It follows the same 1v1 duel that is foreshadowed the happen in games. You aren't really an errand boy in F2, you are just getting revenge for the asshole kicking you off the mountain in the intro.
>>322191807
this but not memeing
>>322192346
I was really disapointed with Lavos and I will never get over it. You are hyped about him during ALL THE FUCKING GAME and he is easy as fuck.
Besides it, Chrono Trigger still is one of my favorite games.
>>322189736
>>322189936
No no no. When it's a straight dark version mirror match it's so shitty and lazy. It has to be a rival who's equal to you who has build up through the whole game.
Dark Link is kind of an exception because he's nothing like you but it would still be much better if he was a rival.
>>322188519
>Mary sue
It's like you want to play as a fucking failure and not a character who gets shit the fuck done without complaining.
>>322191807
This. Holy shit. Also Undyne as well
>You are fighting the protagonist
>>322196875
This and Gwyn (not parry cheesing) were fantastic fights.
>>322192346
>Amazing music
World revolution is amazing, the final theme is meh
>>322191661
>actually followed Pokemon Special years back
>tfw Yellow was a girl
>tfw Misty won Redbowl
>tfw Silver was Giovanni's son
>tfw Ruby actually had fucking Celebi with him since the start of Ruby/Sapphire arc
It was a great series but lately I cant catch up
>>322191860
>Ash has had more experience with many different Pokémon and regions than Red ever has
Yeah and he got Pikachu blown the fuck out effortlessly by a Snivy fresh from the lab. I'm not even joking.
>>322197835
It was weakened by Zekrom.
>>322197928
I forgot to say. It just lost its electric attacks. That's it.
Regardless Pikachu should be level 100 right now and it should have ended in one hit.
>>322188630
except it has no actual impact story wise, and might as well have never happened, also even with maxed level characters and god tier abilities its still a crap shoot if you'll win or not
The fights in Soul Hackers where its 1 demon summoner vs another are the hypest shit though
>>322191860
maybe if he actually grow up after all these years
All that happen is that he went through timelasp and turn into retard noob again in every arc.
If the new anime actually feature him growing in each every series It might actually be quite cool.
kinda like that Digimon tri
>>322198730
I hope new side anime come out like Chronicles and Origins. If they let a Pokemon anime get serious with a good plot and good animation it would be fucking top tier. They don't even have a reason not to do it since anything Pokemon will print money and all the older fans with money will buy that shit.
quick /v/ who is your most favorite rival?
>>322199337
I liked Silver's character arc. He starts off as a complete asshole, but as you defeat him again and again over the course of the game, he begins to realize the error of his ways.
>>322199337
Zero in X5
>>322192763
Fresh off the boat, from reddit, kid? heh I remember when I was just like you. Braindead. Lemme give you a tip so you can make it in this cyber sanctuary: never make jokes like that. You got no reputation here, you got no name, you got jackshit here. It's survival of the fittest and you ain't gonna survive long on 4chan by saying stupid jokes that your little hugbox cuntsucking reddit friends would upboat. None of that here. You don't upboat. You don't downboat. This ain't reddit, kid. This is 4chan. We have REAL intellectual discussion, something I don't think you're all that familiar with. You don't like it, you can hit the bricks on over to imgur, you daily show watching son of a bitch. I hope you don't tho. I hope you stay here and learn our ways. Things are different here, unlike any other place that the light of internet pop culture reaches. You can be anything here. Me ? heh, I'm a judge.. this place.... this place has a lot to offer... heh you'll see, kid . . . that is if you can handle it...
>>322197019
Why's that?
>>322199732
>he begins to realize the error of his ways.
Being an incompetent trainer?
>>322197385
>get to Gwyn
>never went into DaS threads or anything so didn't know about parry cheesing
>at that point in the game I was all about riposting and backstabbing anyway cause of my light armoured dex build
>end up parry cheesing Gwyn
>think it was a shit fight
>come to threads and find out I cheesed him
I also joined the chaos covenant and unlocked that secret tunnel. People in the threads were so mad at me about that saying I must've looked at a guide and it's so impossible for anyone to have done that unintentionally.
>>322196029
No final boss comes close to this
The fucking context and the fight's delivery are 10/10
>>322196029
Yes. It was fucking amazing especially since it wasn't as terrible as the same fight in 1. Man MGS really should have ended right there. It's a real shame the perfect sendoff game wasn't the sendoff.
>>322191661
>Red from the shitty Special manga
>not a Gary Stu
At least Ash is man enough to fight pokemon with his own two fists to protect his own pokemon.
Also, the Mary Sue in Special is Yellow.
>>322197720
I read all the way up to the start of the Gold and Silver arc.
It was really cool, but the site I was using stopped posting scans at around 110, and I couldn't find another website that had the same quality scans and this affected me for some reason. I never tried to get back into it.
Yellow a cute and that entire arc was pretty cool. I enjoy seeing weak characters get strong from random bullshit, and the fact she could get her Pokémon to level 80+ was really cool.
We also share the same birthday, so that's cool.
Everything about this long final boss fight is fantastic.
>>322191021
to be fair after the DS Lite came out GBA games were pretty awful to use at the same time as a DS game because they stuck out of the machine
>>322187298
Yeah. Find the protagonist of the old game only to find he had a shit, easy to beat team. Amazing.
>>322199337
