So as I was challenged by ZSC (not really but I said in his blog that I'd answer his with this one) I'm making my own countdow to the most memorable boss fights I can remember (making them memorable )

Note that I said that only my blog series and my countdowns will be safe from the music titles, so I'm still sticking to my rules Also note that I'll include some spoilers, but these are mostly old games, but you probably haven't played them all anyway, so I'll post what game the fight is from and if you're planing on playing those, you can just skip those fights.

PUNCH OUT (NES)

10 - Mike Tyson: What made this battle memorable?? well, the fact that this mofo will knock you out in 4 hits TOPS. This has to be an almost flawless fight if you wanna have the chance to beat Punch Out.

LEGEND OF ZELDA - OCARINA OF TIME (N64)

9- Ganon: Who doesn't remember thinking it was all finally over after defeating Ganondorf in The Ocarina of Time?? only to be surprised by a big ass monster called Ganon?? Ah that image will never go out of my head and I'm glad of that, good times guys, good times

PAPER MARIO 2: THE THOUSAND-YEAR DOOR (NGC)

8- Bonetail: This guy is a big ass dragon, no biggie here. But the mofo waits for you at the end of the 100 Trials Pit, making him harder than he should be, mainly because you're all worn off after 99 stages.

SUPER STREET FIGHTER II TURBO (Arcade)

7- Akuma: Akuma was meant as a secret boss to replace Bison (only after he got his ass severily kicked by Akuma) and even if he wasn't that hard to be an epic fight, the sole fact that it maked the birth of a cIassic character in the history of fighters, is good enough to be memorable. Of course, most of you won't agree because you had to be there to understand this

RESIDENT EVIL 3: NEMESIS (PSOne)

6- Nemesis: The final battle with Nemesis wasn't that great, but the fact that Nemesis followed you through the whole damn game to kill you and that he wasn't easy to defeat the during those times he showed up (not the first time anyway) makes me think of him as a memorable Boss and also one of the most memorable RE characters.

BREATH OF FIRE IV (PSOne)

5- Fou-Lu: This is probably one of the best characters I've seen in one RPG, and sadly not many people are aware of him. Through the game you play as both Ryu and Fou-Lu, 2 parts of the Emperor Dragon... and you can even grow fond of Fou-Lu more than Ryu, so fighting such a kick ass character is both a shame and a thrill.

ZONE OF THE ENDERS/ZONE OF THE ENDERS: THE 2ND RUNNER (PS2)

4- Anubis: When you meet Anubis at the end of ZOE, you can't help to think "OMG I can't even touch this guy!!" because Anubis is sooooooo badass that poor Jehuty is no match for him. But once you get as badass as him in the 2nd Runner, the result is an epic match fit to this kick ass game. BTW, notice Anubis hands?? those were designed that way to honor the worldwide hand sign of rock, so you can't go wrong with Anubis (and yeah, that pic is from an Anubis action figure, so go ahead and drool all you want )

DEVIL MAY CRY 3 - DANTE'S AWAKENING (PS2)

3- Vergil: I love Vergil, he's hands down my fav DMC character after playing DMC3 and while his fights are not that hard while playing on normal, the last fight against him on DMD is EPIC. Just like Tyson, Vergil could turn the tables on you and pwn you big time if you got careless.You don't wanna mess with that guy when he's pissed, that's for sure.

RESIDENT EVIL 4 (NGC)

2- Krauser Knife Fight: This battle is not your regular boss battle, it's a mofo cut-scene, but damn that's probably the most kick ass fight in the whole game and that's saying much considering other great fights like Del Lago, El Gigante and Verdugo. Chances are you died at least 2-3 times the first time you "watch" that scene, and even if you say that once you know the whole drill it's a walk in the park, you can deny the fact that the first time you fought Krauser was epic.

KINGDOM HEARTS (PS2)

1- Sephiroth: If you're anything like me, because you don't like to read/watch ANYTHING that spoils your games, you probably didn't know Sephiroth was in this game... so once you see the bonus matches in the Colisseum, you pick the first one nd it's the Ice Titan, pretty hard mofo but you defeat him. After that you pick the next match and you get a short cut-scene of a white beam of light that uncovers your opponent, he turns around to face you and "One Winged Angel" starts playing... you're owned.

That's it, my top 10 of boss fights... I know what you're thinking "WTF Goblin, where's my MGS?? " Well, let me answer that: in all honesty, if I included MGS in this countdown, chances are that it would take at least 6-7 spots cuz there are so many memorable MGS fights that they deserve a countdown of their own.
