What Enemy Has Killed You the Most in Your Gaming Life?

[Ascending Wordsmith]

I know this may be a difficult question but, I think I can honestly say that the dagger-tossing chick in the white robe on Ninja Gaiden for the NES. Tecmo placed her on the other side of a pit in the mountains. I spent numerous hours trying to pass that part of the stage as she knocked me into the pit with her endless supply of daggers she tossed in a high arc. :angry:

What enemy has claimed the most of your lives in your gaming career? Try not to include pits, spikes, or falling to death, but if an enemy has forced you into those hazards, then those pain in the ass baddies are acceptable.

[Sotenga]

If you mean enemies in general, gotta be da Medusa Heads. Fuckass bitchheads... :angry:

Every time I play through Contra, I can often go by without losing a life... up until stage six, where those fucking stationary gunners just seem to pop out the side of the screen without warning and pop a projectile in my ass.

Oh, and in R-Type 2? I FUCKING HATE YOU, FUCKASS DOGRAS. The Dogras are those FUCKING ASSHOLE FUCKTARDS in the second half of stage six. Those fuckers make the last level impasse for me, and it's mostly because of them that I haven't yet beaten R-Type 2 yet. Sewiouswy, Pom-Pom... Dogras suck.

I could probably think of more examples, none come to mind now, me talk later, probably.

[PentiumMMX]

Here are a few:

Mudusa Heads (Castlevania)
BubbleMan.EXE (Mega Man Battle Network 3 Blue Version)
That dagger-throwing chick (Ninja Gaiden)
Galamoth (Castlevania: SOTN)
The 3rd Bowser (Super Mario 64)
KingMan.EXE (Mega Man Battle Network 3 Blue Version)
MetalMan.EXE (Mega Man Battle Network 3 Blue Version)

[GrandAmChandler]

The Rock Monster - MegaMan 1. Try to beat him without the select/pause trick. Good luck.

The stupid ass tank bosses in Protoman's castle in Mega Man 5. W.T.F. ugh!

There are several spots in Ninja Gaiden I, II & III where I think the Tecmo Team was just placing enemies intentionally to piss people off. LOL

Cyclops in the later stages of Castlevania III. Ridiculous.

[adaml]

That Red Devil in Ghosts N Goblins. That muthaf#$%er had a bad attitude and let you know about it. It clearly had the upper hand.

[Sotenga]

That Red Devil in Ghosts N Goblins. That muthaf#$%er had a bad attitude and let you know about it. It clearly had the upper hand.

I knew I forgot an obvious one. I swear, I love those guys, I really do, but they're shitheads. Seriously. @_@

I die a lot against that freaking metal transforming thingy in Contra III. On Hard mode, when you fight him on the wall, that part is just unfair. You WILL lose lives, I guarantee it.

Elites in Halo. Although Grunts and Jackals may get my shields down, it's almost always the Elites that get in the final blow. By that same token, I really hate the Brutes of Halo 2. They actually make me want to run back to the Elites, crying and with my arms open, ready to make sweet love to................ ummmmm, let's just say that I hate Brutes more than Elites.

Kintaro of Mortal Kombat II. If I ever get sent to a maximum security prison, I hope my cellmate doesn't have four arms and tiger stripes on his back.

Those freaking slugs from Blaster Master infinitely irritate me. You know, the ones that are so small that you have to get out of the tank so you can shoot them? The red jumping ones are just the spawn of the devil.

Mike Tyson bit my ear off many a time, but I made him my biotch as of late. Still, the nightmares I have of him... the boxer that I fear the second most is Bald Bull. That Bull Charge... for some reason, I find that I can time it better with a right body blow instead of a left, but it still walloped me more times than I care to account.

Mizuki from Samurai Shodown II. I tried to first do it with Sieger. His slowness was not helpful. I did it again later with Hanzo, and it turned out to be easier, but still a real tough.

IGNIZ. FUCK YOU, IGNIZ. Not that King of Fighters 2001 was my favorite in the first place...

Holly Wood and El Gado, the knife guys from Final Fight. Words cannot compare with my hate for these... these... these... these really bad guys. You want someone worse, though? The Andores. Many a time have I fell to that fucking chest ram move... :angry:

Officers from Wolfenstein 3D. These assholes surprise me more than I care to be shocked, and their speed works against my advantage. I hate SS as well, but Officers are the ones that get on my nerves more.

Revenants from Doom II. I just hate them so much because of A) their incredible speed, which allows them to evade my rockets, and 2) GODDAMN HOMING MISSLES. Is it any wonder why I dislike those slim prickins?

I find it ironic that Peter Puppy from Earthworm Jim is supposed to be my friend, a point which is made while he's ripping Jim's head/body from his suit in his pissed-off form. For Pete's Sake = DANGER.

My three most hated enemy types from Streets of Rage 2:

1. Bikers
2. Kung-Fu Guys
3. NINJAS! AUGH!!!

[Flack]

Our little Sotenga is all growed up and knows 4 letter words know. Sniff.

[pacmanhat]

I'll second Kintaro. I hate that stupid bastard.

[cr0n0]

Ohhhh YEAH! That damn red goblin (devil) from Ghouls and Ghosts is one of the few reasons to throw the controller at the TV. But the freaking simple and weak BAT from Castlevania always seems to swoop at a perfect angle to strike me somehow someway. Then I die trying to get him back. So he contributes to my death either directly or indirectly. Dracula hires good goons.

[Rikimaru]

I find it ironic that Peter Puppy from Earthworm Jim is supposed to be my friend, a point which is made while he's ripping Jim's head/body from his suit in his pissed-off form. For Pete's Sake = DANGER.

Then only to realize once you get to his doghouse, you haven't really TRULY beaten the level. You must escort him to his pristine palace via whipping him over his skanky shack. Yeah, the last part is the "fun" part of 'For Pete's Sake'

[DragonMaster Sam]

I, too, found Kintaro to be tough at times. But Motaro (MK3) has to be many times more frustrating. Most of the time I end up losing against him. And when I do get my him, I'm usually on the losing end against Shao Kahn.

-Dr. Wily (Mega Man 2). By the time I get to him, I'm on my last life, or out of weapons.

[Sotenga]

Our little Sotenga is all growed up and knows 4 letter words know. Sniff.

LOL

I've been in somewhat of a sweary mood lately, what can I say? I'm not hesitating to say what I need to against enemies who have bested me time and time again. For example: I fucking hate to fight Robert Garcia, Change Koehan, or Ralf Jones. It doesn't matter what the KoF game it is, those guys are pricks.

Heh, I also confess to being a swearaholic in an Off-Topic thread... but I'm a teenager, so, by today's twisted standards, it's quite natural. ;)

More enemies now, I'm on a roll tonight.

Blinky from Pac-Man: Out of all ghosts, the red guy is the most likely one to dismantle my Paccy.

Warriors from Sinistar: I hate these things more than the Sinistar itself, as unlike Mr. "Beware I Live" himself, these bastards are ALWAYS on the screen. It doesn't help that you have no warning of when they'll fire... CRACK, booooooooooom. And that's the story of you.

Monsta from Bubble Bobble: Stupid... freaking... purple whale head thingies.

That Stupid Homing Barrel from I'm Sorry: This game is ridiculous enough (both in difficulty and design), but did they have to include this invincible monstrosity in EVERY SHITTING STAGE??!? :angry:

The Tiles from Klax: Shut up! Don't tell me that you haven't had nightmares of one of those tiles falling off the edge and somehow landing on your head and exploding! I haven't, but I'll be damned if these tiles aren't more of a curse than a blessing!

The Magician from Kung-Fu: This guy's regeneration and flying head tricks do not amuse me in the least. Fuggin' cheapass.

Every enemy in Narc: This game defines brutality. Even the lowly Das Lof Gang and stupid dogs eat up my lives like I eat Skittles.

Damn Russian Jets from level 4 of Time Pilot: In Soviet Union, jets sic homing missles on YOU.

E3's (Extremely Evil Eagles) from the Ninja Gaiden Trilogy: Hate... HATE... HHHHHHHHHHHATE!!!

[XxMe2NiKxX]

Liches in Baldur's Gate 2. Unless you're mr. Super-Special-Paladin-Man, those things are broken.

That enemy is supposed to be a girl? I always took it to be some kind of zombified Arab dude.

[felix]

2/3rds of the monsters on FF3

[Jibbajaba]

When I was a kid with my NES, Koopa Paratroopas and the Hammer Bros. always used to nail me in SMB. That or a pit.

Chris

[NeoSNightmarE]

i had a problem with Gemini Man in mega man for some reason for the longest time. and then when i first started playing MK1, it was that damn mirror match. i forgot which one i was every now and then. :embarrassed:

[Xantan the Foul]

Medusa Heads from Castlevania. And Bats from almost any game >_<

[Tribaldemon]

That enemy is supposed to be a girl? I always took it to be some kind of zombified Arab dude.
Yeah, I thought it was an Indian guy. I never found them that hard to beat, I generally rush through and rely on my reflexes, and usually beat any attempt to throw a knife... which I think is the idea of the ninja gaiden/shadow warriors games.

DarkSim (or whatever the one below Perfect was) from Perfect Dark would techically hold the most kills over me on sheer weight of numbers- I spent about 2 years playing that game for hours a day.

My favourite enemy that has a high kill amount on me is the death whale thing from bubble bobble, the sheer thrill of just getting the last foe before he swoops me is awesome.

[drewbrim]

Cool thread. I also have fallen to my death many times because of that dagger throwing broad from Ninja Gaiden. Another enemy that is up there from my own personal experiences are those goddamn allligators from Bayou Billy. Once I ran out of bullets in the gun, I had no chance.

Also just last night I was going through the fourth clear on the Bouncer and Dauragon beat me 4 times in a row. Really Kou shold get the credit for killing me since after Dauragon smacks him he always seems to land on me.

[shoes23]

That damn #!$%! bulldozer thing from the snow level in Contra always kills me.

[AB Positive]

Two enemies spring to mind on this, the bouncing orcish guys (usually the harder red ones) from Landstalker, or the equally annoying shielded knights from the same game.

Of course, you die so often in Landstalker that really almost anything of that game could count. Stock up on Eke-Ekes folks.

-AG

[grimbal]

The living wall in FF2 on SNES. Had that game when it was new and spent almost a whole day trying to beat a FRICKIN' WALL!

[Humanoid]

Oh god, those damn medusa heads from castlevania. And the liches from Bg2 (good pick) And I'd have to throw the Gremins from Faceball 2000 into the mix. Damn super powerful smiley face.

[jdc]

Well.....considering the fact that I've spent countless hours over the past 5 years of my life playing Phantasy Star Online on one console or another....the honor of most bitch slaps handed to me by a monster would DEFINITELY be the Del Sabers in the ruins.

NO contest. LOL

[hydr0x]

easy one for me... the mighty, the feared

BOWSER

i had SMB1 and SMB3 as a little child and he did kill me more than a couple of times (especially if you add his children too)

it's not as bad today as it was back then, but having played through Mario Party 4 all the way in single-player added some more deaths due to his Power to my stats LOL

just to clear things up, yeah i know Bowser is kinda easy most of the time, but i haven't encountered any other villain as often as him so even with a lower death-percentage he wins this contest ;)

Arab yes. Dude, no. The garment appears to be a hooded burqa (robe) traditionally worn by Arabic and Persian women. You'll notice the veil around the bottom of her face. It's all about the details ;)

Anyway, I thought I'd add two more baddies that took a great deal of my gaming lives.

http://www-cvr.ai.uiuc.edu/~mchenry/IMAGES/GAMES/MARIO/hammer.gif http://www-cvr.ai.uiuc.edu/~mchenry/IMAGES/GAMES/MARIO/blooper.gif

The Hammer Brothers and Blooper of Super Mario Bros. were especially nasty opponents. In 'Lost Levels' of the All-Stars compilation, the Hammer Brothers advance on you! @_@

[Pantechnicon]

Overall...it would be the Krytolians.

"WTF are the Krytolians?", ask the young'uns.


Aliens from the planet of Krytol have begun an attack on the planet Zardon. The Krytolians are warriors, out to destroy and seize the planet of Zardon. Zardon is the last of the peaceful planets...Zardon has a powerful defense system. Several anti-ballistic missile bases have been establsihed within the cities of Zardon...

I've been fighting them for over 20 years now. They destroy my cities. I rebuild, and they destroy them again in a never-ending cycle of destruction and mayhem.

[fergojisan]

I think I am my own worst enemy when it comes to playing video games. But those Darknut dudes really used to piss me off no end. Jerks. :angry:

[Lothars]

Most things in the older contra games, wow i really suck in those but I love playing them don't really have a specific creature that kept killing me more so alot of things.

Metal Gear for the xbox I cannot seem to beat the guards after the third level, and it's annoying me to no end.

[Acid7800]

I know which boss i HAVEN'T died at all to. Gannon/Gannondorf. In The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time. He's so easy. But I can't recall a particular person I kept dieing to.

[Lemmy Kilmister]

The very first goomba in Mario Brothers. Little mother!! Gets me everytime. :angry:

seriously though.. enemies like those ghost fish and ninjas with the TNT in Ninja Gaiden for xbox, Pugs and The Weapons in the Final Fantasy series and the Hammer Bros in just about any mario game (especially in level 8-2 of the original) really get my goat.

[VinnyT]

Cyber-Akuma.....

I fucking HATE Cyber-Akuma.

You're playing as Dan, kicking everyones ass, even killing Apocalapyse with ease( it's pretty easy after you jump behind his head and go crazy with combos). Then you meet Cyber-Akuma, the cheapest bastard ever!

You punch, but it magically misses, then CA does a super-robot-charged dragon fist. You try for a combo, but Akuma magically doges the attack. Then the screen goes white, then all your quarters from your pocket dissapper. Then when the screen comes back, CA is standing victorious over your dead body. CA then steals your car, burns your house, and does something unspeakable to your pet( in another white flash).

Cheap Robot Bastard!

[Goodwill Hunter]

The fast black cars in the last level of Driver...lost at least a dozen Presidents a night for a good three weeks. Felt so good to finally beat that game.

Rich

[PrototypeFC3S]

Maybe its my lack of skill, but any boss in a fighting game are the ones that kill me the most. And I'm not talking about the computer just kicking my ass in general, I mean when your about to kill the guy that only has a little bit of life left and then out of nowhere he busts out this UBER SUPER COMBO.

Thats the thing that makes me want to snap a controller in two. :angry:

[VinnyT]

That reminds me of Heiachi from the original Tekken. I don't know what I hate more, UBER CHEAP COMBOS OF DOOM!!! or when a opponet in a fighter uses block 90% of the time.

[Rikimaru]

'Inside of Riovanes Castle-Part 1 and 2' Final Fantasy Tactics

http://www.rpgamer.com/games/ff/fft/fftguide/chap3/riovanes/velius.jpg

Man...seems like this battle was the only one in the game that was insane. Yay, I've finally defeated Weigraf and now....oh great....ok...that's fine now I'll just take care of Velius and his minio---DARK HOLY, CYCLOPS, PETRIFY, DIIIIEEEEEEE!!!!!

[norkusa]

That damn Grim Reaper boss in Castlevania. Any time I play a game of CV, I know that's where my game will end because I've never beaten him.

I get beaten down by Vega in SFII allot too, but that's because I always play as Dhalsim.

[briskbc]

A few in my gaming history are:

The small UFO in Asteroids
ShadowLord in Joust
The blinking homing missile in Astrosmash
Hammer Bros in SMB

So many to list.

[Steempy]

Top 3?

1. My bank manager
2. Anyone I'm facing in a Neo Geo fighting game.. I once had my ass handed to me by a 6 year old kid at KOF 95.
3. Those clowns in Goldeneye: Rogue Agent with the Omen XR rifles - one shot hits you with your shield off and you're vaporized.

[ubikuberalles]

The #1 in my book is those bad guys, whatever they were called, in "Empire:Wargame of the Century". I've been playing that game, off and on, for about 18 years now. I must have put in at least 2,000 hours into that game and I'm sure I lost 50,000+ pieces to the bad guys. I've won over a hundred games but I must have lost at least 100 games in the years I've played that game.

I've also been killed a bunch by the landers and other ships in Defender.

Those UFO's in Asteroids killed me a lot.

That evil pterodactyl in Joust has killed me zillions of times. In all the years that I've played that game, I probably only killed the pterodactyl about five times. :angry:

[Damon Plus]

Not really sure, but it might be the eagles on Ninja Gaiden

[Dahne]

Metal Gear for the xbox I cannot seem to beat the guards after the third level, and it's annoying me to no end.

You do know you're supposed to be hiding from them, not fighting them, right? :)

For me, it's any damn little flying thing. From the bats and medusa heads in Castlevania to the birds in Ninja Gaiden II. I HATE little flying things.

[The_EniGma]

The gyu at the end of perfect dark gbc(still anit beat)

and STURM (advance wars 1) the fucking bastard, still havent finished that level.

[roxybaby]

Down the Tubes in Earthworm Jim kicks my arse every time. Those cats that repeatedly smash you back and forth have killed me many times, especially that last one where there is no hamster. And then the last glass underwater thingy with 90 seconds is a pain. I think it takes me at least five times per play to beat it. :embarrassed: Love the game, hate that level.

[sabre2922]

M.Bison SF2 SNES U.S. version

[NE146]

It's gotta be a friggin Spark.

[devilman]

The fast black cars in the last level of Driver...lost at least a dozen Presidents a night for a good three weeks. Felt so good to finally beat that game.

Rich

I never did beat that level. :( Driver 2 was much easier.

[Eldergod]

He hasn't really killed me just really beat my ass numerous times...

http://img154.exs.cx/img154/4568/punch121cl.jpg

He is none other than Super Macho Man from Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!

[swlovinist]

Those friggin birds in the Ninja Gaiden Series
:angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:


1. Those dam birds take three bars off of your life. How cheap is that. Those friggin birds killed me more ways like that than I want to admit.

2. I dont want to admit how many time those dam birds knocked me off to my demise, making those birds a double threat.

[rbudrick]

Mike Tyson has kicked my ass more times than any other enemy in any game. That ear-biting rapist. I hate him.

-Rob

[nickollette]

it'll probly sound stupid but probly the flying turtles and the mushrooms in super mario 3

[DragonMaster Sam]

I used to have major problems with Castoth in Illusion of Gaia. Last night, however, I easily dispatched within a couple minutes.

Dracula in Super Castlevania IV was also tough. You just gotta figure out what he's doing before it's too late.

Goro used to knock the snot out of me in Mortal Kombat. He's pretty much easy now.

[Avatard]

Medusa heads, and FREAKING EGGPLANT WIZARDS. HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE!!!!!!!!!!

[rayearthknight]

Ninja Gaiden
I think we can agree on ANY of the "cheap shot" enemies in Ninja Gaiden (bats, eagles, knife throwing Amy fisher wannabes...)

Super Mario Bros.
Latiku and his spiny eggs!

Rygar
Eugar--or whatever it is, the two-headed turtle thing, I kept getting killed over and over by that thing until I learned about "tone" points

Metroid (original NES)
The "sidehoppers" of Mini-boss hideout One

Battletoads
The snake level (yes, the entire level itself)--where you have to ride on twisting, turning snakes.

Mike Tyson's Punch-Out
Super Macho Man--never could get past him

and the number one enemy that made me scream at the TV time and time again.....Kid Icarus' Eggplant Wizard
