[CODE RGB]

hello, my name is Cody for anyone who hasn't read my introduction thread already and now that we finally have a General talk thread I'd like to be the first to get the ball rolling!  The Guardian Legend, if there is one thing we all recognize about this game is it's OUTRAGEOUS boss fights. some are more harder to beat then others,  some are more gross looking then others,  and some are small but pack a BIG punch.  so the point of this thread is to let everyone know what your favorite video game boss is from any other video game other then TGL. it can be a video game from any platform and any genre. My favorite video game boss would have to be the 2nd Bowser fight from Super Mario 64, the way Bowser jumped up and pounded on the ground and then the whole platform tipped over it was just EPIC at the time!  so have fun and lets here some of your BOSS stories.

My favorite boss is Barinade from Ocarina of Time (on a challenge run with no z button). It's hard on a challenge run like this, First you need to use the boomerang which is designed for z-targeting, second you need to dodge the crap it fires at you and try to keep an eye on it (which means using c-up leaving you vulnerable for a second), and third you can end up in a very laggy situation on an emulator (watch my (http://www.youtube.com/doutchebags) upcoming Ocarina of Time challenge run episodes on youtube for more information).

Garuda, from "shadow of the ninja" or "blue shadow" NES.

Last levels are epic. This game given me a very balanced challange, always "slightly over the edge" but never too much. Coupled with evocative settings and fairly good graphics, this is the only ninja game I've had so far... ninja games are good.

There is a game Solbrain on NES also with change in USA under shatterhand title.
It has similarity to shadow of Ninja. If they take best from Shadow of Ninja and use it in Solbrain it could be awesome. But unfortunatelly Solbrain has very boring levels. Very very boring levels....

Shatterhand was still good. For a NES.

Where do we begin...

(may contain spoilers!)

- that final f%%ker from Silent Bomber (PS1). Such an awesome game, and pretty damn hard too, but once this a-hole shows up, the difficulty jumps from 'pretty damn hard' to 'totally unplayable', and that's for one sole reason: NO CHECKPOINTS BEFORE THE ACTUAL FIGHT. Still haven't beat him and the game
- any boss from the Metal Gear (Solid) series
- the Resident Evil games have a good selection, let's see: Plant 42 from RE1, the alligator from RE2, Nemesis from RE3, that guy you should shoot with the sniper rifle at the rooftop in Code Veronica, Salazar from RE4 and most of the bosses in RE5. Woo!
- Shub-Niggurath (Quake)
- Xan (Unreal Tournament '99)
- Dark Fact (Ys I Eternal)
- Fountaine from BioShock
- any boss from Gears Of War, at least 1-2 (I have GoW 3, but haven't played it yet)
- Hydra from God Of War
- Not technically a boss, but the final massacre from Kane & Lynch: Dead Men made my blood pump in the ears
- Same for Marathon 2: no boss, technically, but the fight itself is amazing, as you have nanoseconds to decide what to do
- Any boss from the Contra series, LOL! (Alien Genitalia FTW)
- And of course...



...Seven Force from Gunstar Heroes 1/2!!!

[RubyC42]

can i be sneaky and say the final boss of virtually all Gradius games?

it's one of the very few that had you actually do NOTHING to win. 

[AlastorSX]

I gotta vote for Gunstar Heroes. If I remember right, that is GREEN working for the enemy. SPOILER ALERT!!! I think he sacrifices himself in the end of the game. That is definitely one of my favorite games of all time.
