00:01Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're taking a look at 10 of the most challenging boss
00:13characters in fighting game history.
00:37When fighting her normally, Marie can be a tough fight for those playing as clunkier
00:41characters like Black Dahlia, but we hope your skills as Squiggly aren't too rusty because
00:46if you want Skullgirls as Platinum Trophy, you will be required to defeat Marie 300%.
00:52This version of the menacing maid boasts a larger health bar and is way, way more aggressive
00:57on the offense.
01:05While some have claimed that there is a way to cheese this fight, it's a little harder
01:08to pull off than your average Joe could, you'll just have to execute some patience and practice
01:13spamming Squiggly's aerial attacks.
01:25Number 9 Taboo – Super Smash Bros. Brawl
01:37Some may choose MasterCore as the toughest boss of the Smash Bros. franchise, but nah man,
01:42no matter how many times we come back to Brawl, Taboo proves to be the most harrowing of the
01:47bunch.
01:48A total entity of subspace comes with a massive arsenal of attacks ranging from eye lasers,
01:53blades, plasma cannons, and much much more.
02:04Some will stunlock you while others just have insane launch power.
02:08Fight this dude anywhere above normal difficulty and you'll have your work cut out for you.
02:13Better come in with the characters you know like the back of your hand.
02:27Number 8 Night Terror – Soul Calibur III
02:40Most Soul Calibur bosses aren't this much of a slog to go through, but Night Terror
02:44is not most bosses.
02:46The ultimate incarnation of Nightmare can get you down to below half of your health with
02:50just a few hits.
02:52Even more alarming is when he takes to the sky, which is him telegraphing that his incoming
02:57laser beam is about to delete your health bar.
03:00And god help you if he so much as pokes you near the edge or pushes you off with his shockwave
03:09ability.
03:10Gotta love ring outs, right?
03:12Just wait until you fight the mission mode version of Night Terror.
03:15Number 7 – Galactus – Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3
03:30Onslaught was also a worthy contender for this list, however, Galactus was just downright aggravating.
03:44With his attacks, everything he does takes up the entire screen.
03:50Appropriate to his character, yes, but when there is such little room to block incoming
03:55attacks, it becomes a tad difficult to love UMVC3.
03:58You're best bet is to just continuously assault him with characters like Zero or X-23.
04:12But once we tasted that power for ourselves with the Galactus mode, all was forgiven.
04:18UMVC3 will forever be great, just only when we're mowing down friends with a broken team,
04:23and not getting mowed down by Galactus' fat hand.
04:30Number 6 – Paraslysia – Arcana Heart 3
04:42For the entire time you face off against Paraslysia, you'll find yourself asking, when can you play
04:57the game that you bought?
04:58Well spoiler alert, you're not allowed to play the game anymore.
05:01As soon as the fight begins, Paras will immediately assault you with a volley of projectile attacks,
05:06and more.
05:07You're basically going to be on strict defense for the entire fight, so you'll be insanely
05:12lucky to find any sort of window to land so much as a poke.
05:15And yes, the boss fights get even harder from here, as we're only halfway through this
05:31list.
05:36If you, for whatever reason, want to fight this edgelord for yourself, you will have to
05:59fulfill two of four unique conditions, which are A, achieve at least 1000 GPS, B, use a
06:06level 3 super to KO an opponent two times, C, beat the mini boss, or D, get at least four
06:13special KOs.
06:15Do any of those, and you will get to participate in the most grueling fight Capcom and SNK have
06:21ever put together.
06:28How bad is God Rugal?
06:30Well he has virtually no recovery frames, so punishing is out of the question, and because
06:37of that, he can just string attacks however he sees fit.
06:40No, you are not allowed to play the game, so enjoy the smell of defeat.
06:51Number 4, Alpha 152, Dead or Alive 4.
07:05The Dead or Alive games have seen some oppressive-as-hell bosses, but Alpha 152 is the absolute worst.
07:12You are looking at Harassment Incarnate, and worse, she takes almost no skill to play as.
07:19So many of her combos require nothing more than mashing kicks several times or spamming
07:25punch like there's no tomorrow.
07:26There's just no diversity in the inputs.
07:34Even her throws can deal obscene amounts of damage with just a couple of inputs.
07:39The only means to punish her is if she whiffs with an attack that leaves her suspended in
07:44the air for a little bit.
07:54Number 3, Karai, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Tournament Fighters.
08:03Look, we love Tournament Fighters, okay?
08:08Truly one of the best TMNT games Konami made at the time.
08:12However, if there is one phrase to describe how cheap Karai is, it's input reading.
08:17Really, it feels as if everything you throw at Karai, no matter what, she knows how to
08:23counter you before you can even press the button halfway.
08:26While Casey Jones has a projectile that cheesed the wind, it isn't a completely reliable way
08:36to inflict damage.
08:37Even so, it's admittedly better than most of the other methods you can employ.
08:47Number 2, Dural, Virtua Fighter Series.
08:56Normally, Virtua Fighter is pretty definitive in each character's moveset.
09:03This one grabs a lot, this one is more defensive with counters, this one has different stances,
09:08but Dural?
09:09Who the hell knows what's going on with Dural?
09:11Dural has such an obscenely strong mixup that it makes her almost impossible to read.
09:16And if you're guarding for just half a second too long, she just knows to throw you instantly.
09:21Just right then and there.
09:23Go!
09:24Go!
09:25Go!
09:26Go!
09:27Go!
09:28Go!
09:29Go!
09:30Really, you need a new word to describe how cheap Dural can get.
09:34Here's hoping Sega will get the difficulty right with her if she's coming back in Virtua Fighter
09:396.
09:40Although, I would rather not see her dumb chrome face ever again.
09:45Dural sucks.

10:07Number 1, Azazel Tekken 6.
10:17Azazel is just pain.
10:20Pure, purple, pain in the ass that defies so much of what you know about Tekken.
10:26Not only can he deal a crap ton of damage up close, but he can juggle you with crystal
10:31spikes to the other side of the screen or push you away with a swarm of bats.
10:37To make matters worse, most of your attacks won't even make him flinch.
10:46You will have to land a combo and a really strong one at that just to knock him off of his feet.
10:51If you're not playing with a heavy hitter like Jack, Heihachi, or Paul, be prepared for
10:56a lot of game overs and a lot of retries.
