What? He's the most fun boss to fight. Nothing like that huge pain-in-the-ass Moldorm.

Nah, maybe if you emulate and can't pull of a quick volley 100% of the time

It's Robo-Manus for me; it's fun, but I tend to freak out when he starts speeding up his pattern

Seven Force in Gunstar Heroes. It's fun & impressive the first times but after that it's a chore to replay

Seriously dude, while admittedly Phantom Ganon was an amazing boss battle, it was hardly difficult.

I dread SM64's Big Boo On The Balcony because if i get knocked off too many times then the controller can kiss its arse goodbye.

>>3283270
Maybe if you're doing a 3 heart run. These days I can easily get to the Forest Temple with at least 10 hearts. Dude is a joke now. Goes down in three rounds if you only hit him with jump attacks too.

This guy is annoying as fuck, I always cheese it with the homing lighting shot. That combo is overpowered as fuck during boss fights, really good too in levels as well but notvas good.

It being 16:9 doesn't make a difference when it's actually rendering outside the typical FoV, and while the HUD looks like shit, I kinda like the effect on the in-game assets.

Gyorg in the Great Bay Temple. Pretty much guaranteed to get eaten once it does that "spitting fish cutscene" because it completely rips control away and ruins your swimming line.
>>
>>3284516
can't you just use cold attacks to slow him down and kite him, even with a melee character?
>>
>>3283270
Disagree OP, I beat this entire game on the 3DS version with 3 hearts and double-damage turned on, and he was pretty easy.

The hardest part for me was when I later decided (after getting them) to only use the megaton hammer and hover boots, and stopped shielding unless it was required. The descent down Ganon's Tower took me 11 hours because I kept on dying to the twin stalfos on the way down. Just when you thought you could square one of them away the other one leaped in with a jumping strike that was basically impossible to avoid, and at double-damage was an instant game over (oh yeah, no fairies either).

It was fun but man will I never do that again, made me rage like a motherfucker.
>>
>>3285113
Nice blog, friend.
>>
>>3285079

the problem is that he's going to freeze you as a melee if you get close to try to get cold on him. It's always a shitshow on hc.

But not really? Isn't he and the Ice dude the "starter" bosses?

There was a notorious bug with Duriel that would cause the game to lag, but he was still able to act, allowing him to get the jump on you.
>>
>>3284327
Homing lightning is only OP as fuck on the lower settings. On hard, it's completely useless.
>>
>>3285583
well, if you use the Lazy Shell, then you don't dread it.

Besides, Culex isn't mandatory to fight.
>>
>>3285935
His image is Bospider, the first Sigma fortress boss in the original X, not X4's Web Spider.

>>3283286
Hard, but nothing to dread for.

>>3283934
Am I the only one who thought Smithy was harder? without Lazy Shell obviously

Hey now. If you don't even try to avoid getting hit and don't bother picking up hearts, you might die. Maybe.

The moment you start cursing Z-lock, shitty camera issues and 3D altogether.

This is my only complain about the game.

>>3283934
Tried to defeat it many times with Mario/Geno/Bowser, failed miserably at every attempts. Replaced Bowser with Peach and floored him easily on the first try.

Sometimes you just feel dumb.

>>3286856
The camera makes this easy figth hard.

The camera is legit garbage if you use Z-lock.

Well OP said "at least on some level", it might be harder for some people than others. In reality once you know the strategy to beat Slogra and Death, it's not a problem, but if you don't remember or if it's your first time playing you're most likely fucked.
I know how to beat Slogra and still I can get fucked with his dive attack sometimes, and it's 3 or 4 hits and you're dead.

I play MMX about 2-3 times a week (inb4 autism) and he still pisses me the fuck off.

Pic related is my nomination for a shitty boss battle. It was way too early on in the game, so you really couldn't do much damage, plus their attacks are insanely powerful. You really just have to abuse your invincibility and hope you kill one of the vampires quickly, then it's not too terribly hard.

>>3283270
The first time I played him was my first time playing any Zelda game, so I was still getting used to all the mechanics. Phantom Ganon was moderately challenging, mainly because of the arrow sequence. Didn't have any problems with him on my later playthroughs though.

>>3284968
Also this. Zora Link was probably the most fun transformation to control, yet somehow they completely fucked up the battle. Still takes me a good three+ tries to defeat Gyorg.
>>
>>3284968
>>3289734
Gyorg is a very good shout. I still can't do him without using t least one fairy...maybe i'm not patient enough but once he eats you that's 3 fucking hearts down the drain.


My candidate is Big Arm from Sonic 3.
Fuck. That. Shit.
So hard to get the angle right and even if you're super sonic he can grab you and hurt you. The 2 bosses before hand aren't so bad but they can eat into your time, which puts extra pressure on the Big Arm battle. Especially as there's like a minute cutscene as sonic flies from the first robotnik battle to the final battle area.
>>
>>3289734
Fight the Vampires as Freedan instead of Will and that fight balances itself out.
>>
>>3291667

Big Arm is actually easier to fight without Super Sonic. Super Sonic can't make the insa-shield attack while jumping like normal Sonic does, and his jump is harder to control.
>>
>>3284968
At least it wasn't as bad as what they did with it in the remake.

Goht was the only one they improved. Absolutely horrible.
