Yup, I certainly can't think of any boss who drew me in to play a game like Dobkeratops did. This boxart was just so incredibly striking to me as a kid.

Four White Mages?
It'll never work!

The most "icon" boss ever.

How about one of the first bosses?

>>2517591
I've literally never seen or heard of Dobrekatops out of the context of the game series, so no, it is not the most iconic boss fight ever and I don't know how you could even think it is when stuff like SMB Bowser, Mother Brain, Mike Tyson, Zeromus or Safer Sephiroth etc exists. In fact I would think that the "helpless brain-like Gradius final boss" is a far more iconic trope than Dobrekatops.

I've never seen or heard of Mother Brain, Zeromus or Safer Sephiroth outside the context of their series either so I don't know why you're criticizing OP's choice. Dobkeratops is pretty much the face of R-Type considering how frequently it's on the cover art. Same can't be said for your choices..

FF5

M. Bison

King Koopa from SMB1 and to a lesser extent the sequels followed by these: >>2517625 >>2517652 and maybe the Street Fighter II bosses to a lesser extent.

Obvious answer

amen brother, i go back sometimes to my old ocarina of time save just to fight ganon.

Bionic Commando for NES was pretty epic

>>2517817
Heh heh heh

>in a nes game
surprised how ninty didn't caught that

>>2517591

Rugal in kof 94' is unforgettable to me, but this is only for people into their fighters

>>2519417
Orochi is the most iconic KoF boss ever, partially thanks to MUGEN and spanish/mexican romhacks.

>>2517591
Can't believe nobody's mentioned Mr. X yet

moreso as an overall boss rather than one specific fight

>>2517625
Isn't ridley more iconic than mother brain herself?

>>2517817
Maybe to edgelord teen sociopaths.

Here's my pick

>>2517886
You posted the wrong pic again

>>2519330
Probably too busy looking at Hitler.

>>2519881
Green Hill Zone fight is more iconic.

I don't even know half of these, do you people know what "iconic" means?

>>2519758
He's making a (really bad) pun on the bosses' name

>>2517827
Phoenix is fucking baller and that boss is actually pretty intricately designed

>>2519881
>SEGA anything
Go back to Super Nintendo and pick again.

>>2520091
Oh ok.... Is this better?

>>2520091
Or maybe this?

Debatable as for whether or not he's a boss, but Donkey Kong from the original arcade game is probably number #1. By a landslide.

>>2517817
Heh, i bought that poster.

Fuck all the hate, the Icon of Sin was the bomb

>>2517625
That isn't really much of a boss when you consider that all you do is pretty much mindlessly empty your missiles at her until the scripted sequence starts, after which you just mindlessly shoot at her with the Hyper Beam.

The level is the boss.

I never understood the tree thing though. I get it, Exdeath is born from all the hatred in the guardian tree (?) but why does he appear as gay golbez all the time and then turns to a tree out of fucking nowhere in the rift?

>>2520302

Where did you even hear that stuff?

Exdeath was born from a bunch of big bad demons that were imprisoned inside that sacred three and was held inside it with the power of the crystals. So basically he's a shit ton of chaotic evil beings that melted together into a single being over a very long time. That's why his final form is literally a pile of demons and monsters.

>>2519330

That's nothing compared to his head exploding in pretty damn gruesome way.

>>2520302
>gay golbez
I chuckled. Well walking around as a fuckhuge tree all of the time is rather difficult so Exdeath turns into gay golbez. His real form is rather ephemereal it seems as it is implied he goes around possessing things like the queen of the fire city and garula before he is freed for good and he is also shown shapeshifting into a splinter in Krile's foot. Once he settles down in the Rift for good he grows back into a tree to control its power.

>>2520347
That is correct but it doesn't make what the other dude said false. Exdeath is the form the superprison tree assumed when the demons within it developed a collective consciousness.

>>2520352
Idk about Iconic but he's gonna stick in my mind for quite awhile

>>2517591
Probably in the top 10 but not #1.

>>2520212
I guess that counts and if so, yeah, #1.
