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.



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...

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.

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...

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.

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]

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??!?

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.

[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.

[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.
