Favorite Fight Sequence?

Here's the game companion to the "Favorite Fight Sequence" thread in Media Centre.

First, keep in mind that this is ONLY for non-interactive fight scenes, basically any fight scenes that you had no control over, from cutscenes, FMV, or so on.

I'll start with an old favorite; Zero vs Sigma in Mega Man X4. I was (and still am) a big fan of anime sequences within games, and this one ran for a good 5 minutes. If you thought Zero was cool before, this sequence completely established him as the ultimate robo-badass as he nearly destroyed a pre-Maverick Sigma. Just plain awesome.

Make sure to mark your spoilers. I'm certain there will be a few posts about a certain fanboy battle in Kingdom Hearts 2....

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Don't forget the fight with Snake and Liquid. Very brutal (even if that one punch was borderline DBZ).

Of course, how could I forget the fight with Jin and Margulis (both of them) in Xenosaga Episode II? I might go ahead and say they were the absolute best choreographed fights ever in a game.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

My favourite is when the space station gets wiped out during the intro to Masters of Orion 2. From the first time you watch it you know this is gonna be an epic game...

I haven't seen that, but I just want to remind everyone that this is a "Favorite Fights" thread, not a "Favorite cutscene" or even "Favorite Action Sequence" one. Only list actual fights between two or more characters. For example, I don't think the scene in MGS2 with Ocelot riding Ray counts, since it was more of a destruction scene than an actual fight.

I'm surprised no one's mentioned the opening FMV in FFVIII, between Squall and Seifer. That has to be the most watched intro by me. Even if the fight seems a little slow compared to more modern matrix-fests, it still looks incredible, especially with the quick editing and music.

That was an absolutely brutal beating more than anything.

I remember watching that scene for the first time, stunned at just how visceral and uncompromising it was.

The scene afterwards was far, far worse.
