Tekken. 5.

Jinpachi and his goddamn STUN.

Seriously. I swear to god that once the fight went like this:

Stun, FIREBALL~! Stun, FIREBALL~, KO!

The stun is a counter move. You can also just sidewalk his fireball and kill him. If anything is cheap, it's his i11 WGF and his unblockable hug that sucks your life.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I guess I'll jump on the whole fighting game cheapness bandwagon.

NeoGeo Battle Coliseum - King Leo: SNK is notorious for programming their bosses to take full advantage of the whole "computer knows what you're gonna do" thing. This fucker has King Upper. A insanely high priority super that does half life on counter hit (which he will probably get because he only does it when you try to jump at him). Jumping at him when he doesn't have a super doesn't help much either since he has a godlike counter move. Then he has Beast Blow "DYNAMITE!" to hit you when you try to stand still and block. Nice chunk of damage for a low hitting move that also has crazy priority. Think you can block low? He'll do that mid hitting kick move that he will just about always super cancel into King Straight. That's another half life right there. This is one of the only SNK bosses where I couldn't find a consistent winning strategy. Most of the time he might fall for a quick low into a combo on wake up, but not always. SNK bosses having three health bars in one didn't help much either.

Most amazing jew boots

Before, I would be tempted to add Magaki from King of Fighters XI to the list, but apparently he is consistently beatable, despite SNK endboss syndrome. He can fill the screen with a slow moving blue sphere, a fast moving pink sphere that comes from awkward angles, and use his anti-air exploding sphere which does massive stun damage. If Magaki evens starts up one of these things, then he can fill the screen with the other two very quickly forcing you to just sit and block for entire rounds. You can't jump anywhere or one of these things hits you and pushes you all the way back. You can't block or you'll be guard crushed in less than 3 seconds. While you are in blockstun (which can be very long against Magaki), he can teleport behind you and make you drop your guard to take full damage. In addition to this, he has an instant LDM that hits you anywhere on the screen and can be chained from a sweep of all things -_-; Sometimes it was just not feasible to beat Magaki.

Magaki is definitely a prick. I find that well timed hop grabs (Tizoc's dp+A/C or Gato's grab out of one of his stomps) work really well on him. You can also bait the pink explosion and have a opening for a second.

Here's a example of my typical strategy vs King Leo working.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Something I noticed about Mario Kart games. The farther you are behind, the higher chance you have of getting better items. I found that I got lightning bolts very often when I was in 7th or 8th place.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

The only reason I brought it up is because the thread reminded me of Jinpachi, lol.

I really only threw that out there as advice more than anything. Jinpachi is definitely a cheap bastard.

I was speaking idiomatically.

For some reason (temporary insanity) I tortured myself through 90 missions of that game and got utterly destroyed by that monkey, Golem. I couldn't even put up a challenge. I'd barely take off 1/4 of his health and he'd just slam me against walls and activate his goddamn super armor... ARGH!!! *bangs head on wall*

The icing on the cake is that you fight him 2 times earlier in the game, and one of those times he has 3 people with him. He hardly put up a challenge then! That fucker must've injected roids through his eyeballs or something.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
