Oh good lord, I'm calling this now.

Everything else that everyone suggested - Hi, I almost completely skipped the N64/PSX era (special exception for Star Fox 64) and furthermore never actually owned a system with the name Playstation on it until just last year with the purchase of a PSP. On top of that, there are just certain games and series I never got into. MGS is a prime example of that. Earthbound, too. These are things that I'm actually pretty sure I've mentioned on occasion. Hawk and Celes, though, man... Close calls. Right series, wrong game. Especially Celes. If you'd said Link to the Past instead of Ocarina of Time, you'd have had it won by a long shot.
Mecha-Hitler (Ape Boy) - I was always more of a Doom guy but fuck yeah, Mecha-Hitler.
GLaDOS (Masked Jedi) - Only reason this isn't winning is due to the issue of my not having an opportunity to actually play Portal, either due to not having a computer capable of running it or not having enough spare cash to buy the game once I got a new rig. But the character is fantastic enough.
Hogger (Krylo) - This shouldn't actually be in second place but it is just because it was one of two answers given based on actually knowing anything about me. But yes, the gnarliest gnoll this side of Westfall is the bane of all level 9 humans everywhere.

WINNER: Kefka (Mesden) - Not even close to my favorite fight, but it's at least from a game I both played and enjoyed thoroughly. The music is awesome, the visuals quite nice, but still entirely too quick and easy, even for a turn-based RPG battle. Had he been given a respectable amount of health and magic power so that his different phases actually meant a damn thing, the fight itself would have been infinitely more impressive.

Anyway, yeah, this was sad. Strong contenders would have been Bowser from SMB3, Super Metal Sonic from S&K, several encounters with Dr. Wily or any number of robot masters, the previously mentioned LttP Gannon, Lavos, Darth Malak, or Andross from Star Fox 64, just to name a few off the top of my head.

Any boss from No More Heroes would have been an automatic winner.

I was gonna say "the unlockable Lavos boss battle in FFVI-2 Xtreme Beach Volleyball" but honestly it felt like walking off with the win.

You've been reading my dream journal again, haven't you, Fifth?

That like two-hour final boss fight in Kingdom Hearts II that almost redeemed every other shitty fucking thing in Kingdom Hearts II.

Overcast · 05-12-2009, 01:29 PM

Ahh doubleshit, Malak was my first choice since I'm playing that right now but I didn't have faith in him.

Damn, should've gone with Zeus. It was a tough decision between kicking the shit out of a gigantic Hydra and impaling it through the eye with the mast of a ship, or kicking the living shit out of Zeus, pinning him to a rock, and then sawing him through the chest with a Cloud sized great sword.

The Hydra was just more memorable though.

Actually, my point was that you'd have had better luck going with something from Chains of Olympus, though that all does sound very cool.

Also of note, these fights in Ulduar are a blast, too.

I was thinking of putting Bowser, but I thought it was too easy of a pick. Damnation.

Ah well, at least I wasn't in the tie for last!

To keep with the vidya game theme:

My favorite thing to do in a videogame.

Edit: I've been informed of the rules but who gives a damn this is a silly little game
