>The worst champion.
If the two forms before weren't enough, he has a final third form if the proper prerequisites were met where he starts questioning where the hell your strength even comes from and how you're even alive right now.
>>341951224
>mfw my friend who's beaten Devil May Cry 3 couldn't beat Cynthia
Wish I was making this up.
Pokemon games will never have a semblance of challenge again though, not since Masuda literally said 'we want the smartphone audience'
>>341951575
R/B's Blue was probably the worst. Guy had terrible fucking movesets on his pokemon, and the only reason he was remotely difficult was because Lance was before him.
>>341951575
How do you figure?
Can you even tell me the name of BW's champ?
>>341951575
Haha nice meme dude :^)
Also did you know that the moon actual orbits Neptune and Leafyishere makes quality content
>>341951224
>It's a I'm 12 years old making a /v/ thread episode
Cynthia was shit. You have to be underage to think its a good boss. And I loved Platinum. (played competitive for DPPt also)
>>341951747
Not him, but Alder. Cynthia is tied with him for my favorite champion
>encounter final boss
>gives speech on why he's doing what he's doing in great detail
>one by one each of the party members tear down his arguments with facts and logic consistent with the in-universe lore, summing up their character development

>final boss theme is an arrangement of the most important plot-centric recurring leitmotif in the game
Dick status = D I A M O N D S
>>341951575
but he didn't post Iris
>>341951732
Blue was one of the best. Who gives a shit about the moveset his Pokemon had over 20 years ago. They fixed it in FR/LG anyways.

Blue was awful you nostalgiafag
>>341951934
I beat this guy for the first time when I was coming back from a summer camp as a kid and I screamed so loudly that my dad nearly drove off the road.
Fuck those arms, holy shit.

>Alpha uses the beam, arms and then the fucking lightning arm

>End up surviving and killing Alpha
Jesus fuck that's my favorite final boss moment.
>>341952408
They fixed it in Yellow, (Besides with how broken Gen I mechanics were, Alakazam's psychic and Exeggutor sleep status were monstruous) just underaged memespewers and Cynthia waifufags. The worst is Diantha, hands down.

You must have been a pretty retarded kid not to notice that half his team did basically nothing. The only good thing about that fight was his line right before it and the music kicking in.

My melanin rich brother
I loved fighting him with different teams just to hear the dialogue
>>341951224
IMO, Diamond was better.

Diamond/Pearl/Platinum was GOAT
Draw your sword Ramza.I didn't think the game went on after this fight. Boy was I in for a surprise.

What was so good about it?
>>341953924
>>341953986
>Parry makes the fight boring and easy
I agree. So why not just fight him without parrying?
>>341953640
technically, since im slightly autistic, Red would be considered a side-boss, a post game battle. He's not necessary to beat in order to become Champion, just a test of true skills.
That said, its probably one of the best boss battles in gaming period. All you go through, trainers, gym leaders, team rocket, most times some form of mythical beast or manmade killing machine gone rogue, it's all just an appetizer to Red.
...
Chills ran down my fucking spine the moment the black smiles appeared.
>>341954109
Sup newnigger!
>>341954054
Cynthia was the first Pokemon Champion with a real team with real movesets
>>341953986

>>341954143
Same as Yhorm without Stormruller
>>341951224
>Not knowing that BW2 has the best final bosses
Both the final boss to the evil team plot and the final champion were leagues above Cynthia. Only reason you remember Cynthia is you waifu'd her.

You have to be shitting me, most of the evil team plot was a mess and the champion was shit in BW2
>>341951691
I don't think Masuda is in charge anymore.
Neo Metal Sonic was so hype the first time I got to him
>>341955082
Armstrong was the truest nigga. He kept to his ideals despite the fact that he was obviously losing but knew when he was truly defeated. Probably one of the most fun final bosses I've ever fought against.

Nah the problem was that Learnsets were unparalleled ass in gen I. I think they mapped them fully evolved too and evolved pokemon had even WORSE learnsets in gen I which is quite impressive

If he was under leveled not much he could do. You can't really just grind away to progress through dmc. It's dependent on your own skills and there is a lot more leeway with how far skill will take you. You can't just keep running through the same sections until the enemies are dying from anything and everything you throw at them with no effort if thats what you want like in pokemon.Also dmc 3 just by itself on normal is small time.
>>341956490
Meant for
>>341951691
>>341954551
it's honestly one of the only genuinely "bad" final boss fights in all of video game. No, not just because it's hard, but because it ignores all the rules that you learned through the game and requires a completely different set of strategies to defeat. You can have a build that demolishes 99% of the game, but then get wrecked by the flaship because the fight changes all the rules for no reason. And you can't even learn those rules ahead of time, you just have to keep fighting it over multiple games until you learn its bizarre pattern which is used nowhere else.
So fuck this fight.
I don't know. I don't really play video games.

>Half of his attacks are cut scene quick time events
>/v/ bashes every game for this sept platinum games
It basically ended the same as Shadow of Mordor, difference being Shadow of Mordor was at least given a final boss in DLC.
>>341956810
It had a flashy ending in concept but wasn't any fun to play. Bayonetta 2 had the complete opposite, an underly flashy final boss, but at least a fun one. Only MGR managed to get both out of the final boss.
>>341957648
because Platinum does them well

Say what you will about the MGS series, but I think this is one of the most perfect final bosses to a series possible.
>>341957926
The main difference between the qte's in platinum games and resident evil, is that resident evil qte's could happen at anytime, and were generally used as a change of color in gamepla, or just a replacement for it. QTE's in platinum games are like a reward for finsishing a fight. They indicate the end of a boss battle or that you have reached a checkppint. There is nothing more satsifying after beating a difficult boss in bayonetta 2 than summoming an enslaved demon king and ripping the boss in half.
>>341958151
It was a blast. Way better than shitty platforming, and a poor mix of either insta kill attacks or attacks that do jack shit to you and mechanically ignoring any combos or mechanics you might've learned throughout the game prior to this point.
I agree it was lame story wise and not built up at all and not flashy, but at least it was a proper fight and a fun one. In any case, Lumen Sage stole the show just as Jeanne did.
>>341957659
embarrassing fan fiction tier boss that wasn't even fun to fight

That's not Alder, anon. Easily the most forgettable champion.

>>341959361
On one hand, I appreciate it as a change of pace from all the massive bosses and thought it looked cool. Just a shame you could parry him so hard. Making an attack or 2 of his parriable was fine but when you can do that shit constantly and he doesn't do much else, it's a wash of a final fight.
It was legitimately worrying to fight him for the first time. I don't think anyone actually survived the intial encounter with him since it came out of nowhere. The way he played even made him seem like an anomaly or a supposed-to-lose fight.

Some RPGs can have good final bosses. I actually really liked Persona 3's final boss changing arcana and feeling like a long but fair fight and having good music to boot.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLd5eabSJ3g
It's pretty rare though and I'm not sure if I would nominate it for best. Just really good.

Diantha.
She appeared a lot in that one area where you can refight gym leaders. Plus her theme was nice. She wasn't a great champ, but I don't think she's the worst. She's just kind of there.
>>341954551
>Kill all crew
>Super magic auto repair AI kicks in because reasons
I understand its there to allow you to damage hull because it will repair broken sections automatically, but it doesn't make much sense for it to get a power boost by killing all the crew.
It would make more sense for the autorepair AI to be active to begin with, and killing the crew helps with overloading the AI and forcing it to choose between manning stations and repairing the ship when they are all dead.
>>341960442
>caring for anime iris
Last god thing in that anime was Dawn
CYNTHIA IS #1 IN MY HEART
>>341960509
Is this bait?
>>341951732
He was also 20 levels higher than the average player who didn't grind that much.
>>341960442
I actually feel like they put Iris as the champion just because she was in the anime at the time. The TWO times you meet her before you find out that she's a champion are incredibly brief. At least Cynthia had impact on the story, ESPECIALLY in Platinum.
>>341959874
1 on 1, a turn based system will boil down to that. Pokemon is in an awkward position where you have a team and that can sometimes make the difference, but the gameplay itself is 1 on 1 so it ultimately boils down to that. Other RPGs tend to have you with a full team on the field and working together to drop a train on that nigga so most RPGs don't apply to what you said.
Say what you will, but this whole chain of fights was a great way to end off the game. Bringing Darkside back and having that whole Ansem-ship thing was pretty rad.
>>341960542
Anon, XY's Serena is literally the best thing to ever happen in the show.
While Airy wasn't the "final" boss, her battle felt way more satisfying. I liked that she kinda forces you to change strategies after the whole game.
>>341960642
Ah shit I misread BW as XY for some reason.
I don't know what I was reading.
>>341951691
I remember someone on /vp/ mentioned on one of the early builds of DP, her Garchomp was haxed, like literally, it had a nature that increased SpDef without lowering anything else, so capturing in under the effects of common "catch trainer's mons" codes would freeze the game.
I mean it doesn't make her super challenging, but it says a ot about devs trying to make her as difficult as possible. She (rightfully) has the smartest AI of the game, and all her mons have their best possible ability and nature with at least 20 IVs on every stat, with really good movesets that complement each other, not to mention she has pokemon you have not seen in the game at all until that point
>>341951224
It's a fucking Pokémon game. Come on, man.
At least post the gen 2 one.

>>341960945
that has been done so many times in manga/anime that it's practically a cliche by now
https://youtu.be/vBeM3nPF5MI
>>341956654
care to elaborate on those "rules"? Because I'm pretty damn sure the only two things that differ from this boss and the rest of the game are the automatic pilot and the super weapons.
And no, the super weapons are not a change of rules, they're only an introduced mechanic that adds spice to the battle.
>>341961123
>I care more about the cutscene that follows the final boss than the final boss
Yes, it ended on a cinematic that did that after the final boss was defeated. I'm not talking about the cinematic though, I'm talking about the actual fight you double nigger.
>>341960542
>>341960442
>>341960836
You guys should try the Adventures manga.
>>341954551
the only hard part about the FTL final boss is how hard you got RNG fucked on good weapons beforehand
>>341961261
>practically
It's most definitely a cliche.
>>341955997
Yeah, all trainers' Pokémon up until Gen 3 just had the last four moves they would have learned by level up, which left Blue with an Exeggutor with only three moves and a Rhydon with three debuffing moves and Horn Drill
I think ordinary trainers in the newer games still use that method, but occasionally they go in and fix the movesets if it would be really dumb.
>Not posting the most powerful boss in existence
>>341961556
Yeah 4 flak cannons is pretty much an instant win, it's hard to mess that up

Not really hard, just a fun set up.
>>341953078
Yeah actually. By far the most challenging thing in the game and also the most fun. It's pretty brutal but so satisfying when you finally succeed.
>>341956654
>A build that demolishes 99% of the game
That doesn't really mean anything. The rest of the game is designed to be easy, as it's literally just there for you to build up your ship so you can fight the flagship.

Nothing could have prepared me.

Steven was a very down to Earth guy.
This.
In every single game.

>>341962135
Huh. I... Actually agree.
>>341955917
That was in reply to why Emerald's Battle Frontier wasn't in the Ruby/Saphire remakes.
>>341962135
That fashion model chick was so lowkey I don't even remember her fucking name
I remember being taken by complete surprise when she turned out to be the Champion.
>>341962135
But where is Red?
>>341962250
Made a couple years ago when XY first came out, I might bump him up in the personality category to 1st or 2nd because Steven has always been pretty based
His manga counterpart especially is but then I remember Blue/Green and Cynthia are equally as based in the manga
>>341961236
>Only the dragonites are actually dragons
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3-S9eQo0Os
Pretty much everything that happens in space is fucking amazing.
>>341962391
If Red was added to the list he'd automatically get shoved down a few spaces due to things like reusing Lance's relatively average theme and having no personality to speak of and then Redfags would fly into a keyboard frenzy about how their epic husbando is better than everyone
>>341955082
Best in gaming history.
Not just for gameplay, but for a last-minute tonal shift that somehow turns the game into a fantastic joke, without ruining what came before.

This is pretty good but Lance's music needs to be way higher.
>>341951972
>that part where he goes devil trigger and chases you down with the black orbs
I love the noise it makes.
>>341962319
Reminder that everything that happened in Transistor was due to lesbian lust effectively ending the world
>>341962135
I'd put Iris lower in difficulty and music, and Lance higher in game role, but you have good taste.
>>341959580
Gwyn's fight isn't intended to be a bombastic challenge. It's an easy fight but with the really fitting music and knowing his backstory, the fight is really climactic and a pretty satisfying end to the game.
>>341951313
I remember some dumb sphere looking pokemon with some dumb smile on his face

1) The flagship's special weapons break the conventions of the module system. All of them come from nowhere and are impossible to disable. Disable the drone module on phase 2? Too bad, it can still use the drone barrage.
2) The special weapons break the rules that all weapon types follow. For example, the passive zoltan shield in phase 3 can regenerate. That's literally cheating, as the zoltan shield augment (which you've fought countless times before) explicitly doesn't do that. And as above, you cannot disable it.
3) The ship switches to auto-pilot + auto-repair when all crew is dead. This creates a bizarre scenario in which it's better to kill off every enemy crew member but 1, and leave him alive. Also a giant middle finger to boarding builds.
4) An obvious one, it breaks the energy/system balance and has cheat weapons instead of normal ones. In particular the triple shot missile launcher is hilariously OP. If you don't know ahead of time that it's by far its most dangerous normal weapon and should be disabled as soon as possible, you're fucked. Also, it has infinite missiles. This is literally the only enemy in that game that has infinite missiles. All the rest eventually run out.
But my biggest personal gripe is that fighting the flagship requires completely different builds and strategies from the rest of the game. For example, specialized boarding ships wreck the normal game, but are extreme weak against the flagship. There are basically only two strats against the flagship: 1) massive weapon barrage like flak/laser, or 2) beam weapons like glaive beam. The flagship's contrast from the main game is especially obvious if you ever used the glaive beam. Fight normal ships? Glaive beam is not really worth the investment. Flagship? Glaive beam will fucking destroy it. Same thing for cloaking/hacking, they are almost mandatory for the flagship while being optional for other fights. It's all stupid.
Hands down the most visually stunning boss I've ever fought.

Not that it's perfect or anything, there's plenty of valid criticism to be aimed at it, but I honestly never understood the people that hated Metal Gear Solid 4. It's still one of the greatest games I've ever played.
I wanted MGSV to be more like it, rather than being some half-baked third-person Far Cry reskin with only a few legitimately good moments "Metal Gear moments."
Okay so it's not AS bad as I make it sound, but fucking hell...

>>341958428
I loved how Snake's lifebar changed from "Old Snake" back to "Solid Snake". For that one last fight, he WAS Solid Snake again and left his age behind him. Mechanically the fight was kind of weak but it was just an epic build up and the amount of fan service smoother away any issues with the gameplay.
>>341963712
I felt V was a much better game than 4, but one area 4 has a clear edge is boss fights. The Sahelanthropus fight was great but the rest were underwhelming. Meanwhile in 4 all of the fights were great except for Raging Raven.

It's the new macross series
I've only watched SDF Macross and this one looks to be bridled with moe idol shit so I dunno watch if you want

All elite four and champions have had all 31 IVs on every Pokémon since Gen 4, while all other NPCs (outside of battle frontier/PWT etc) are 0 in everything.

You don't say?

Macross Delta, I just snatched the webm from a thread but I hear it's great aside from some retarded characters
No idea I was under the impression that most PS2 games are rough to emulate
>>341964537
Oh hello there
>>341964547
Well yeah that's obvious but minmay didn't even sing in SDF until like what episode 5 when she was alone with hikaru in the macross?
this new one has a retinue of moe cute girls singing shit right from the goddamn beginning
I mean they know their audience well

Fire fighting counters his entire team
>>341965358
Don't do what?
>>341965638
Which is why every Champion should have a balanced team or at least 1-2 mons that counter the theme of the rest of their team.
>>341963907
The fact that there were 2 stages was the bullshit part. They shoulda just made the approach to the final boss in that final sector more important and have the final boss be just 1 stage.

How can we carry on if redemption's beyond us?

To all of my children to whom Death hath passed his judgement

Look to those who walked before to lead those who walk after

Ever flows the Land's well of purpose
Walk free, walk free, walk free, believe...
The Land is alive, so believe...

Fuck no, that movie "game" was fucking stupid. Practically Naruto meets Atheism, two of the wrongest groups in the history of 4chan

killing the crew makes it lose all the crew bonuses to various modules, decreases its repair speed and prevents it from engaging in mass boarding tactics during phase 3 as well as prevent it from defending against YOUR boarding attempts allowing you to keep several modules offline permanently

The way I have always played the game is that it's not about beating everything first time. It's getting up to a new "puzzle" and then working to figure out how you can salvage the current run or figure out what to do next time.
>>341980979
"Flannery and Wattson" isn't "for the most part".
Outside these two the adding to their teams that they didn't had in RS and ORAS did nothing, or for some it even made it worse. Protect wasn't easily available in RSE and Norman had two Slaking. Those can end your team immediately. Emerald trades one of those for a shitty Zangoose and fucking SPINDA. I mean, get it in the rematches maybe, but don't trade a good mon for fucking SPINDA.

WELP I RAN OUT OF CARDS TO FIGHT THIS INSANELY HARD BOSS TIME TO... START... OVER... AGAIN...
I've practiced through DoDonPachi DaiOuJou for many months so finally getting to this bastard and beating him was the most satisfying thing that I've ever done in playing video games. Even if in DoDonPachi SaiDaiOuJou, it turns into a girl.

probably a coward tactic but beat the shit out of all of them with this. Debuff attacks were really annoying, and the last boss with this Super Special attack also.
>>341960906

>>341951691
The Omega ruby rom hacks are pretty fun and quite challenging if you don't prepare with ev training and such, I legimately have to watch out for ace trainers and make sure my team is fully healed before fighting someone,

>Sinohfetuses delude themselves into thinking DP were anything but dogshit
Holy shit. I've played them and they're boring and slow as fuck. Only Platinum is marginally tolerable and no, they aren't hard at all, just accept those were your first pokémon games, it's really obvious.
And Ghetsis' team>Cynthia easily.
>>341980219
>The final boss only has one form
>You have five forms
Such a great change to the normal final boss formula.
>>341963091
Thanks for reminding me. I never thought I'd ever say something like this, but yeah, it's absolutely stunning. Everything about it is beautiful.
If only there was gameplay to match the story, then I think this game would easily be my personal pick for best ever. It's probably a case of 'wanting your cake and eating it too', but fuck, it would be perfection.
>>341959557
>>341964413
It's his encounter theme, not his battle theme, retards.
>>341958151
>he was such a bore to fight
I don't know
I absolutely hated fighting him because I couldn't see anything so I got a ton of anger out of it
>>341956810
Also Jubileus wasn't really that great either. Unless you're using certain weapons like Shuraba the whole fight is just such a drag. Conceptually it's fantastic but in practice Kamiya didn't quite make it complimentary to Bayonetta's gameplay being better when more dynamic and fast paced instead of the opposite. A problem all big bosses in Bayo 1 had really.
>>341984786
...Really?
Maybe this is just drop dead easy to me because I've replayed the game so much and always start it with the dark jak trick and immediately eliminate the first phase of the fight.

I bet you brag about beating the game too, even tho parrying gwyn is the disqualification you guide reading faggot
You don't possibly believe that any of these deserve to be the main event, do you?

This is actually pretty spot on.

>>341969447
Save File and menu shit was amazing.
Although I think the most oh shit moment was when he'd randomly do a Bravely Second attack. Didn't hurt much, but it would startle you.
>>341962256
Not all.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Z9ZmOktINI
A tough fight, but a great conclusion.
>>341974319
I don't hate Iris it's just that after the whole Team Plasma episode her reveal as champion just seems disappointing. Fucking Ghetsis.
>>341980549
You don't really need to. Just get it.
This might not have been a hard boss, but goddamn it was hype. The music, everyone cheering you on, the slow buildup of atmospheric reentry effects - it was so good.
>Fighting 1 on 1 on top of a tank

Seriously the best boss of the eighth gen.
It had been years before that when a video game had actually made me say "wow"
Well - a video game still hasn't made me say "wow", since when I got to that boss fight, I was so blown away that I was completely speechless. The music, the hard work you put getting there, the player's investment in the players and their stories... it was amazing

The battle music from that game is God Tier, especially "First Fight" against that biker outside the bar where you begin.
>>341990146
I feel like this guy's team would be scarier with the game's current mechanics. Or at least the Salamence would be.

It was refreshing as fuck to fight a competent Champion (not Blue) without a dumb gimmick (muh dragons/rocks) and just used good fucking Pokemon.

>>341990262
>>341989696
That's some really hardcore music for a spongebob game
>>341953264
Eh not really god tier but still good. Was fun,combining with the ship and then shooting your drill TTGL stylewas hype, andthe revealwas cool and all that, but I mean come on who wasnt hoping for some cool final boss where you actually get to use the Kirby mecha to fight? Also probably by far the easiest final boss in Kirby history. Maybe even easier than Epic Yarn's, not a good thing imo
And Im guessing anyone who cares about Kirby has gotten through the game by now but I'll spoiler the parts anyway
>>341990120
>still fucking up spoiler when theres literally a hotkey for it now
>>341962512
What an amazing final boss, easily one of my favorites ever.
>That first fight where you have to fight the entire inner space fortress' core
>That part where he reveals he's froman apocalyptic dimension trying to stop humanityand even bringshis very own Wonder Mask into battle to prove it
>That second phase where he uses unapologetic, souped up evil versions of your own Unite Morphs as if some kid on deviantArt was making them for an original the character villain
>They're all insanely fun to fight against and almost every morph he brings out you can counter by mirroring it with your own
>That part where Red adds a bunch of prefixes to his final attack to drive home "THIS IS IT"
>That final phase where Geath Star turns into a giant robot and there seems to be no hope
>One by one through the course of battle, you claw your way from controlling one giant skyscraper robot to 50, to 100, to 150, to a whole 200 as your teammates take control of each
>Suddenly you're making weapons the size of planets and cracking down Jergingha's barrier
>That cutscene where everyone uses their own Unite Morph in unison for the ultimate combo attack against Jergingha
>All hope seems lost as it fails but everyone gathers together to try their best for one final attack
>Virgin Victory, Maazer, and Immorta's Ship get together with Platinum Robo to counter a planet obliterating laser so powerful its destructive matter can't be measured
>Final shape to charge up laseris a W
>That extreme panic and rush of emotion as Red won't stop adding prefixes to his final attack name, all the more driving it home that "THIS IS IT FOR REAL THIS TIME GUYS"
>Lasers collide in a DBZ kamehameha fashion
>PROTECT EARTH
>Start mashing like crazy, the more you mash the more the laser gets pushed back
>All the characters on screen mashing with you
That whole final phase did a fantastic job of constantly topping itself.

Sarevok is just a straight fighter. Just wail on him with all your people while silencing/dispelling the mages. He was fucking easy.

The super duper double extra large 20 minute final final final FINAL fight in True Arena was so fantastic because it was more or less a direct callback, and purposefully pretty easy after surviving for so long.And then it has a small window of survival for an instant kill blast with little warning.

One of the few times in a JRPG where the "god" enemy actually lives up to the hype. She feels more like a secret boss than a final boss.
>>341961972
Man, I love this game but have never managed to beat it on hard. But then again my easy record is 4 times, and all of those with some form of crystal lockdown.

>>341960906
That's the shit that made Cynthia so challenging and fun. I remember when DP first came out and none of my friends could beat her for the longest time. We had bets and shit to see who could genuinely beat her with a well balanced team.
Why can't champions go back to that? I am totally fine with making them practically cheat. Obviously not give a Fire type of theirs Leaf Storm or something, but up the stats, raise the IVs, make the champion the best AI, and just make the fight actually fun and worthy of a champion. That's the whole fucking point. I want the champion to be the hardest fight in the game, pre and post national pokedex.
>>341992442
He wins again.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=368l37NDM8Y
>>341992554
Maybe it just depends on which route you took, she wasn't the hardest in the game for me personally
Not like Nocturne where the final boss is a joke compared to bosses you fought 10 hours ago (Lucifer is a joke too) since SJ is actually a consistently difficult game, but just not as bad as I thought it would be
>>341991526
You gotta learn to manipulate the team building early on. That's how I formed my habit. After every two gyms, raise a new addition to your party.
Also

When is this stupid meme going to die?
LiterallyGod-tier
>>341992535
It's not as hard as the others, and focuses more on surviving long enough to the end rather than surviving against the bosses. There's a lot of fights though, so you get a good amount of healing items.
Hammer, Poison, and Archer absolutely break it though.
