Also, I mean Sonic in general, not just those shitty 3D games. That was my only pic with sonic though.

My favorite is the fight against metal sonic in sonic xtreme. Great game btw.

I always found this fight exciting.

>>2351695
some of the boss fights in S&K for gen are intense, but easy. I mean it was a game meant to be played, but not hold your hand.

usually easy mode came from having a fire shield or being super sonic (one such fight requires all emeralds) but the intensity comes from the setup before or during the fight... not actually egg man himself.

>Great game btw.

I somehow doubt that.

But its one of the best saturn games.

This motherfucker. A great mix of challenge and pattern memorization. I keep finding new spots in his pattern where I can hit him.

the boss fights are only good on the first playthrough. the patterns are always simple.

Isn't that just how 2D platformers are?

I doubt you're learning something new every time you fight Roy Koopa...

yeah nice unreleased game, faggot.

i like the ones in 3 & knuckles
if you're speedrunning there's always a trick to finish the fight faster

The trick is to design a boss fight that's still relatively challenging even if you know their patterns. Metropolis boss, Big Arms and both Death Egg Robots are good examples.

tfw the intense part of it seems to be timed with when robotnik's on screen

I can't tell if you're trolling or not, but those are straight from the incomplete source code of the game.

How it all began.

What makes a boss fight good for you, OP?

A lot of boss fights could be trivialized with the right technique, especially since Eggman was vulnerable and inoffensive as he entered the screen. To this day I'm torn on whetever or not that's a good thing but it sure feels good to hit that jackass 7 times before he even starts doing anything.

Only Game Gear fags had much trouble with that one. On the Master System original dodging the bowling balls ain't too hard. Most deaths come because you're like to try to attack it normally the first time you encounter it.

I thought the race with Metal Sonic in Sonic CD was awesome.

>getting good enough to bait metal around and finish the race without being hit
