[General Discussion] Favorite Boss Fights

I'd say my favorite boss fight is either M. Bison from SF2 or Sephiroth's LAST form in FF7 (the one where you get to omnislash him and he just dies). Since you really can't call that last scene in FF7 much of a fight, I guess that leaves me with M. Bison from Street Fighter 2: The World Warrior.

I remember sinking quarters into the SF2 machine at the local arcade and being cheated in more ways than I can count by Bison. He is the kind of villian you just loved to hate back in the days before anyone had ever heard of "Champion Edition" or "Akuma". He would nail you to the side of the screen with a stream of double-kneepresses, cheese your life away with the Psycho Crusher when you blocked, and throw you out of just about anything. SF2 joysticks were broken all across the world because of Bison's cheap tactics; no one can dispute that.

Thankfully, he was made easier in Champion Edition and future versions of SF, but remained a cheap @%^* when controlled by the game's AI.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Fighting Kefka in FF6 was cool too. Jon Irenicus from Baldur's Gate II was also interesting.

Agreed on Irenicus, but I found Sarevok and his gang from BG1 to be far more challenging and interesting. Irenicus was just not as good of a villain in terms of challenge. Once you got his cheesy spell shields down, he was toast.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
