Title: June is end boss month!
Post by: S-U-P-E-R on June 01, 2004, 11:50:56 PM
This tradition has been running for several years, spawning all the month months of my monthly month signature - stuff your forum avatar/signature full of your favorite end boss, recount your favorite boss battles, etc. I'm chronicling the mayhem in my interweb journal, too.
<- This character, Dizzy, was hilariously created to be the ultra super cute anime ^___^ girl boss of Guilty Gear X. The creator, Daisuke Ishiwatari (the most insane game director this side of Itagaki) pretty much admitted in an interview that Dizzy was designed to be a hentai star (lol) and with any luck, I can finally have a creepier avatar than Bill.
Faust will be back in July. You can probably still get GGX for GBA for ten bucks. Keep your eyes open for GG Isuka in the arcades. Anime makes you fat.
So, use this thread to announce your support of end boss month, let us know who your favorite end boss is. Maybe cook up some boss related wallpapers or icons or something, and share them!

First post in an end boss month thread. I-no'ing up the joint. All forum regulars must join in end boss month lest they suffer my end boss related wrath
I'll be adding some other radiskate end bosses to my avatar rotation for the rest of June. :K-Rool:

Earthworm Jim comin' like what. You win by shooting her in the face. Queen Slug for a Butt was the bestest best in the World because her arse was very big and there were certain sections of the final stage where you had to run around on her bottom. Because it was so big. I think it shot out spikes and things at one point. Must of eaten chilli.
I think Robotnik's the best, though. He's very fat, you see. He just sits in his badly designed machines and fats up the joint. He produces a VERY angry face when beaten!

I wanted to stick with my Paper Mario theme, so i'm bowsering it up in avatar land, 'cause he's an end boss and all.
The end boss that I love to hate the most though, would have to be the combo meal of Metal Sonic + Giant Robotnik + having no rings in Sonic 2. I still haven't beaten Robotnik, and i've been trying for 7 years now. ;__;
Also, lots of games have really cool end bosses. Some of them include Viewtiful Joe, Starfox Adventures, Majora's Mask, the Master Hand (from SSB/SSBM) and others that I can't remember! Yay for end boss month!

Post by: Hostile Creation on June 02, 2004, 03:41:18 PM
This was very, very hard. There was nothing good enough to depict the Nightmare from Link's Awakening, and while typical bosses like Bowser and Andross and Ganondorf are cool, I wanted to go with something a little more unique, something only in one game.
So Cackletta it is. Though looking for the Zelda boss I found some good midi music. I'd try one with Fawful in it, too, but there wouldn't be enough room.

Whereas your end bosses had the pleasure of dying in glorious bloody deaths of hellfire and honourable swordfights with the main hero, my end boss suffered a 200 meter fall and a fatal stab wound to the entire body from a falling satellite dish caused by a cowardly pommie secret agent.....

Post by: ruby_onix on June 04, 2004, 10:17:12 PM
I guess I should mention that I too have joined in with this fun.
My avatar is the Dark Goddess Althena, from Lunar.
I guess technically she might not be a "boss" in the traditional sense, in that the player doesn't defeat her. You just like... become her love slave, or something. At least, I think that's how I remember it working. But hey, if I couldn't have a sexy anime babe as my avatar, what would be the point of anything? (Bill and SUPER's avatars worked nicely.)
Also, I put together some NES themed boss avatars, and posted them in the avatar thread (I figured they can be used outside of End Boss Month). Mostly Dr Wily stuff. Since I'm feeling generous, and these NES avatars are all about one kilobyte (PNG seems to like the NES), I'll say that I don't mind if anyone (on these boards) having problems (or unfamiliar with) hosting their avatars, direct-links them and leeches some of my ISP's bandwith for this month (as long as it stays under a couple dozen people). Also, Dr Z (or any other mod) is allowed to direct link them onto people. ^_^

The most evil game character award obviously belongs to none other than...Pokey! Yes, that fat chunker you had to chase around in Earthbound...Ness was always so nice to him, and Pokey just had to stab him in the back! Honestly, I've hated no "final boss" more than him...
The thing is, I hate him so much that I'm not even going to think of putting him as my avatar...

As it happens, I changed my avatar to Marching Milde from Yoshi's Island without even reading this thread. Of course, Marching Milde is not an end boss, and there's nothing particularly great about Marching Milde, I don't even remember him/her/it....I just happened to make this drawing recently.
So I guess I need to come up with a new avatar! But it will have to be something delightfully obscure. So I'll have to draw it myself. I think I know who to choose...
Meanwhile, a few end bosses that I fondly remember:
- King K. Rool in Donkey Kong 64. Actually, all of the K. Rool battles are pretty cool, but the battle at the end of DK 64 was just really fun. Lots of humour, and they somehow worked every single Kong in the game into it.
- Whatever it was at the end of Axelay. With four different stages and about eight different kinds of projectiles, that boss was one tough son of a gun. Really intense.
- Mizar in Jet Force Gemini. possible choice for my avatar, but I still have an even more fiendish enemy in mind. Mizar was another real toughie.

Post by: Ian Sane on June 10, 2004, 10:48:17 AM
"and there's nothing particularly great about Marching Milde"
What are you talking about? He's my favourite boss in the game! How many other bosses split into multiple tiny versions of each other until there's like ten little guys running around? But then again were there ANY bosses in Yoshi's Island that weren't incredbly cool?

Finally! My choice is the Evil Brain from Space Station Silicon Valley. The thing that's great about him is he's funny. You get to the final area, and you're running through a huge corridor while the Evil Brain taunts you with a good old-fashioned villain speech, where he claims to be unbeatable! But it turns out that he's probably the single most pathetic end boss in all of videogames. Great stuff.
