While playing and researching Shaq Fu, I noticed something that the game lacked (besides good gameplay), an end boss.
Fighting games are usually better on two player, but a good boss is nice just to get the blood pumping. Here are some of my favorites-
Fuse Hime- From Metamoqester, an obscure Red Earth clone with good graphics and terrible sound. It's a spin off from an RPG series. Fuse Hime is a floating glowing demonic fetus that fights like Orochi from King of Fighters '97, except he isn't a disappointment. He is really annoying and spams this attack where a spinning pillar of energy practically wipes the screen. The battle is intense and sometimes relies on having you break him out of this attack before he can start.
Mr. Big- SNK fighters are full of people with crazy magic powers that take forever to say the name of their attacks while they use them. Mr. Big just beats you up with sticks. His brutal simplicity makes him feel fresh and different. Plus he looks really cool.
Onaga- Final boss of Mortal Kombat Deception. Most Mortal Kombat bosses are either silly looking four armed monsters or really, really, cheap. Onaga would fall under the cheap category, if not for his Achilles heel, the little artifacts on the side of his arena. Getting these artifacts means getting close to the edge of the arena, which is covered in spikes. The feeling of constantly flirting with death fits Mortal Kombat perfectly, better than any other boss in the series.
Does anyone else have any favorite bosses?
