0:45 "...or have factors that get under my skin, there are some that I just don't enjoy fighting." I love how you used Mega Man X3 footage, because I can confirm all the Doppler Stages are HELL. I can't even get past the first Doppler stage!

Forget ORAS, Emerald Has Too Much Water!

HOW AM I SEEING THIS JUST NOW? Welcome back, Jack!

[@jamieodonnell8344]

I'm willing to bet at Wayne Cramp was the CEO of Idea Factory during the creation of the #1 entry. Wayne: Okie Dokie, fellas! I want you to make the final boss as brutally terrible and then some! Idea Factory But the player's won't... Wayne DO AS I SAY OR THE BUNNY RABBIT GETS IT!!! *holds a bunny rabbit at gunpoint* Idea Factory: Yes... Sir...

Jamie O'Donnell Lucian cramp: OBJECTION!!!

Hey Jack-kun, here’s something weird. When I saw your old final bosses countdown in Middle School, when you were talking about Wart from Super Mario Bros 2, I actually started to get nightmares whenever I think about Wart.

[@augustbornone]

I can totaly agree with the #10 Entry in a way. I just fought Aris and ugh was he a pain, and that sucks cause the first phase was awesome, but the second phase got too crowed and tedious, and the third/final phase, while not as tedious as the previous phase, was also a bit of a pain. I really did wanted to like this battle, I really did, and there were timed previously that I did like it, but playing though it again, left a bit of a bad tact in my mouth. So here's beg the question, Jack The Lightning Ripper what is your favorite God of War boss and final boss?

[@BurningAzure]

#4, TBH, His fight in Luminous Avenger iX does at least improve on key aspects like how his attacks no longer lock you out of doing anything and how Voltaic Chains is no longer an insta kill and follows a set pattern to how the chains are positioned.

[@CMGThePerson]

Why is the #1 fight set in a generic meadow? Why not a final boss environment?

[@JacktheLightningRipper]

Beats me.

[@glaceofthesnow4987]

I'm surprised for #2 you went to Chuggaa's LP of Emerald. Besides that, Wallace shouldn't be deserve being a Champion, let alone a boss fight. All Water type team, which makes it surprisingly easy if you went Treeko and substantially harder for Torchic, awkward movesets, and this is the Champion?! I could cut it slack if it was say Gym 5-6, but this as a Champion fight is all sorts of wrong!

[@vittoriopugliese3352]

Can Wallace cover Grass weakness?

[@vittoriopugliese3352]

He has three Pokémon with Ice moves to cover Grass, one of which is Tentacruel who also has Sludge Bomb, and Ludicolo and Gyarados who aren't weak to Grass, making only Whiscash easily oneshottable with Sceptile

[@heroofmobius6616]

The fact that Takumi dies is the main reason I won’t play conquest. FYI I do like birthright and love revaluations

[@lindamedina64]

This literally has 0 DISLIKES!

[@alexanderton5384]

Dude I did this first try on normal. Infact the only boss that's actually a challenge in OG GOW is the hades level right before aries.

[@BurningAzure]

Spoiler warning Azimov is the final boss of Luminous Avenger Ix as well

[@richieosborn2639]

And his fight is better in that game

[@augustbornone]

That's a pretty good list, tho I have to ask, whats your favorite Final Boss?

[@JacktheLightningRipper]

It is only a matter of time before I answer that.

[@augustbornone]

@@JacktheLightningRipper Well ok, good luck! ;)

[@lindamedina64]

Iris from Pokémon black/white 2 CASE OVER.

[@TM_Em0lga]

Who else thought that metal robotnik was gonna be number 1 or in the list?

[@jamieodonnell8344]

WALLACE If you want proof that the Water-Type is overdue for a nerf, look no further. I would know. I lost a NUZLOCKE to that guy. Fuck that Gyarados.

[@voltingmaster5458]

Asimov was pretty much the sole reason why I rage quited Azure Striker Gunvolt, and why I never wanted to play it ever again.

[@BurningAzure]

Sadly, he comes back as the final boss of Luminous Avenger Ix.

[@richieosborn2639]

@@BurningAzure but at least his boss fight in that game was improved. The second phase though…

[@WillieManga]

10: What I hate most about this fight is the very sudden gameplay shift. Forcing me to adapt to a new weapon during the final boss is a dick move. 9: Well, speak of the devil. 8: That's why I always said the Joker is a man of tactics, not action. 7: I'll give it this; at least its consistent to earlier points of the game. The rest of the series was so much better. 6: Why, Takumi, why?? T-T 5: In fairness you at least get some practice with the jetpack. More than I can say about the earlier bosses on this list. 4: What are your feelings on the rest of the series? I gotta wonder that for some reason... 3: Man, Clock-la was more intimidating than this. 2: Ugh. Thank Arceus he wasn't this bad in Alpha Sapphire. 1: What I really hate in a video game is when the challenge is when the odds are against you in such an absurd way that it requires an extreme amount of skill to get past. And I'm not talking about hard modes like DooM's Ultra Nightmare mode since that kind of suffering is optional, but rather boss fights like the Bed of Chaos from Dark Souls, Kingdom Heart's fight against Ursula, or YIIK A Postmodern RPG's plot which you would need to endure. And that dragon seems like something I would need a strategy guide for. I love RPGs a lot, but I've yet to play more than one Hyperdimension game... mostly because I have games I'm more hyped for. Seriously loving Dragon Quest 11, so sorry, Hyperdimension. Maybe some other day.

[@vittoriopugliese3352]

What did you hate about Gaius and Muzet? Were they too frustrating or too anticlimactic?

[@JacktheLightningRipper]

More on the frustrating side. You know it's gotten bad when it causes frame drops and camera flipouts.

[@campbellanderson5773]

Jack just to ask a question how do you get each version fates is it like a depending on how you play game

[@JacktheLightningRipper]

For starters, you can purchase either Birthright or Conquest or both physically or digitally to start off. If you decide to get one on its own to start off, you can get the other via DLC at a reduced cost. Revelation, the third path, is only available as DLC and available the same way. If you're asking because you want to get the game, I'd recommend doing it soon as the 3DS EShop will stop taking credit card payments on May 23rd and will completely be taken down sometime next year. At that point, your only option is to get the Special Edition, which has all three routes. Good luck finding that one without destroying your wallet.

[@chadkirby5438]

In my opinion, the Death Egg Robot from Sonic 2 is worse than Sonic 4 Death Egg Robot.

[@BurningAzure]

I knew that #4 was going to be on the list

[@voltingmaster5458]

That boss was pretty much the sole reason why I rage quit the game and why I never wanted to play it ever again.

[@BurningAzure]

@@voltingmaster5458 And Spoiler warning He's the main villain of Luminous Avenger Ix

[@Simpsonsfan1011]

Takumi is even worse if you lose to him, since you have to replay chapter 27 before you get to Takumi again and need to fight Slime Garon all over again.

[@tonysonic456]

Damn, dude. If you think True Afoire is bad, play No More Heroes 2 and fight Jasper Batt Jr. That guy is a NIGHTMARE, especially on Bitter mode.

[@purplemusic1234]

To be fair I think I you fight jasper on easy mode he isn't that bad unlike million gunman.

[@tonysonic456]

@@purplemusic1234 Well, yeah, but I don’t count easy mode because that’s only for people who suck at the game. Also, Million Gunman isn’t that bad even on Bitter mode.

[@purplemusic1234]

Fine then what about new destroy man

[@tonysonic456]

@@purplemusic1234 Oh yeah, that fight is utter hell on normal and bitter mode.

[@purplemusic1234]

What about on easy?

[@DarkH10]

Can you tell me why you hate the dishonorable mentions of this list (especially for Hades's hand, Andross and Clock-la)

[@BurningAzure]

10. Emotional=/= fun 9. Even the visuals aren't enough to save this fight 8. Probably the least Joker thing The Joker could do. 7. I think they should've renamed him to Mr. Generic 6. Here's hoping that Three Houses has a better final boss than this. 5. Another classic choice 4. I'm sure somebody picked up that phone (because I called it). 3. Pretty much the same as Dark Gaia 2. Again, why is Wallace the champion? 1. Kitsune Hawk would be proud.

[@erindelgado9639]

Yeah, those fights are major let downs, since I never played or heard, I'll say my thoughts on the ones I'm familiar with. 9) I understand you don't like Dark Gaia but at least I have major experinace with the fight, so it's alright. 8) Yeah it is an awful fight. 7) Fuck Navvro and his boss fight! >:( 5) Laughable Easy, even for Crash Bandicoot standards! 3) Yeah Le Paradox is a lame Sly Cooper battle and stinks as a final boss! My other least favorite final fights in gaming are the Mutant Deathstalker from RWBY: Grimm Eclipse, Dark Jeff from Gravity Falls 3DS, Ansem from Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, Sandman & Venom on Spider-Man 3 (PS2) & Dark Nebula from Kirby Squeak Squad.

[@DarkH10]

Is true Arfoire worse or sligtly "better" than nova ?

[@Mojo1356]

Dark Gai? But Time Eater HD is so much worse though. You’re just boosting while listening to your friends talk over and over again.

[@megagamer2874]

Why is the bittercold a bad final boss fight Jack-kun?

[@JacktheLightningRipper]

Not big on its design, the attacks are not really that threatening, not a fan of how your partner is sidelined because it feels like their impact on the game was reduced, and it overall just felt underwhelming.

[@megagamer2874]

Jack The Lightning Ripper oh ok and also why are the Hades hand and Andross from Starfox 64 3D bad final bosses

[@anudee7142]

@@megagamer2874 he said that Andross from Starfox 64 3D is a Combination of being really annoying with being really easy.

7.8 Too Much Water Emerald pretty much deserved it. A water gym leader and then the champion is water-based too? What were Gamefreak thinking when they made that? Steven was better. BY A LOT I would sooner fight a steel-based trainer with high power moves, type coverage and a stronger overall team, rather than a water-based trainer with double team, toxic stalling and two cheap mons with counter-intuitive weaknesses and self-healing moves

[@BayouLotusFlower]

Dude you played the wrong version of sonic unleashed

[@TotallySearch]

Hyperdimension neptunia is just a mediocre series at best, and the first game just added salt to the wound.
