/vr/ - Retro Games

ITT bosses who are harder than their respective game's final boss. Excluding joke final bosses like in Gradius.
I'd say SF2 World Warrior's Vega/Balrog/Claw.
>jumps around like he's on crack
>can do extremely high damage
>can pretty consistently fully dodge projectiles with backflips
>has that cage climb air dive attack that's unlike any other move in the game (this phase can actually be a blessing though, if you have good reflexes and are using a character with a strong anti-air like SRK)
Really stands out since he's sandwiched between two other boss fights ("Boxer" and Sagat) which are arguably easier than late-stage Guile or Blanka fights.

How did Vega get away with using knifes in the tournament???

itt youre playing for you life

Before being driven mad by time travel, the fighter, finds time to rest near a tranquil and mighty oak. He doesn't remember who he was before the rift and he doesn't care because he's gained so much strength from the rift and this wondrous new place. Yet something about this lake troubles him, there's something slowly transforming his playful nature from within. One day as he strikes the tree it occurred to him that he was back to where he was going before he started. Heh, he laughed. Time travel always hooked around, he remembered. What he couldn't shake or forget, though, was what his dad told before he left:

>Boy, there's power beyond your imagination in the rift, but its price is destruction--the place fosters your true soul. It is truly for saints.

He remembered how he laughed at his father; how could he be so hypocritical since it was he that discovered the rift and its properties? Its surreal promises as well. Fine, he again pushed back his demons and sang a breathy tune he was keen to hum: "Chi chi chi---ah ah ah ah". His mantra song of power, so innocent, but why did he fear his release on the tree? Gather strength and then release! Is there something he forgot?

Is it just me or does this guy only have 2 attacks between 6 buttons when standing still?

I'm probably the only other person on the planet that likes ex2. I uses to rent it all the time. Granted I'm a huge sf2 fan.

What's the matter? Confused by the filename? So predictable... I think I'll have to teach you one or two things about videogames...

Shit you've never gotten to master or beat in retro vidya.

This fucker right here.
I grew up with Super Turbo and Championship editions on the genesis, and I could never remember how to use his super meter.
