Don't you mean the whole Dead or Alive series? The boss fights in those games are incredibly cheap, which I would find annoying if I didn't already hate the games anyway.

How ya doing, buddy?

I take your point. I think at least once I did exactly that in desperation. I was so surprised to finally land a kick combo that I just kept spamming it for the rest of the match. What annoys me is that the perfectly good tactics for every other fight in the game are no good against the boss.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
