Most Annoying Enemies/Bosses

[RegSNES]

Option Theif - Gradius Series: Don't know if it has an official name but this is what I call it. My father was playing Gradius III on the SNES one day and he told me about this theif that came and jacked two of his four Options. Since my dad told me about him, I had the advantage of at least knowing such a foe was in the game. You see, Options/Multiples are EVERYTHING in Gradius games. You ain't got Options in a Gradius games and you're in a tight situation, the odds of you get screwed increase ten fold. I had the rotating Options and I was in the fire level. All was going well and then I heard this noise like a siren going off. I look to the left off the screen and there it was, the Option Theif. It charged at me and by moving up, he didn't get any of my goods. :P That being said, I still consider him a threat, especially in Gradius V because I didn't see him coming one time and he jacked ALL of my Multiples!!

Medusa Heads - Castlevania Series: My freaking word, this could quite possibly be the most annoying enemy in a video game. Even when I anticipate them coming I still get knocked down steps or into a pit! Agghh!!

Quick Man - Mega Man 3: He was a push over for me in MM2 but in MM3 he's even fast and he has a flat playing field to fight you on, making him the most irsksome of all the Doc Robots for me to fight. I've even had to use E Tanks on him and I hardly ever have to resort to an E Tank on a Robot Master in a Mega Man game. He is indeed a worthy and annoying foe.

Kabuki the Quantom Fighter - Every boss after the first one.

[Poofta!]

that final boss in dead or alive 3 on xbox... god that was annoying as hell.

Medusa Heads were the first enemies that popped into mind... my goodness... it was like if you expected to jump, they would read your mind and go up.

If you expected to duck them, they read your mind and dove.

ARGH!

Kwan in Rise To Honor. Actually, most of the game had me frustrated. The most frustrating part was the Boiler Room scene. That one was SO HARD i spent hours to try to get past it, and when i did, i forgot to save (Kwan got me so mad i turned off hte PS2 without saving the file! AGH!)

Oh well. I sold that game for $5 recently. Bought it used.

Not really a boss, but the extra levels on Supreme Master for DDII. The fact that you can lose a whole life in one miscalculation was ridiculus. You could make it all the way there with full life, only to be destroyed by frustration.

that final boss in dead or alive 3 on xbox... god that was annoying as hell.

The one in DOA4 is even worse.

But my vote, hands down, goes to the very last boss in the Xbox version of Ninja Gaiden.

Damn impossible.... Even with a full supply of potions.

[Lord Contaminous]

The final boss of Bloody Wolf (Turbografx 16) pissed me off badly. Annoyingly cheap and unpredictable.

[MrRoboto19XX]

Ultros in Final Fantasy III/IV, especially in the river area when youre trying to protect whats-his-name. Quite simply the biggest pain to deal with in that game.

Don't tease the octopus kids!

Sheesh, everytime I think of him I want some calamari.

[Towlie2110]

The Xbox Ninja Gaiden final boss was nothing compared to the first time you fight Ulma. Good god!

[mrmeatball]

When I was a growing up, the most annoying enemy I had ever faced were the respawing mountain lions/eagles in the original Ninja Gaiden.

[RegSNES]

Lakitu from the first Super Mario Bros. used to be such a thorn in my side when I first encountered him in level 4-1. Throwing those pesky spines and he would always keep up with me even if I ran. Imagine my surprise when I found you could kill the little beast!! I jumped on some bricks I hadn't busted and stomped on his head. Man, I miss the days where you could kill an enemy by stomping on them.

[DragonMaster Sam]

Just about every enemy you encountered in level 6 of Ninja Gaiden (NES).

[Mr Mort]

The Xbox Ninja Gaiden final boss was nothing compared to the first time you fight Ulma. Good god!

I agree. Without a doubt, Ulma's first form is the toughest boss in the game. If anything, I felt the bosses got easier after that.

My vote goes to Magneto in X-Men: Children of the Atom for the Saturn. It is IMPOSSIBLE to beat that bastard. He stays up in the air half the time, and counters everything you try to do.

[Jibbajaba]

I don't know what they are called "and I am too lazy to look it up), but in the original Legend of Zelda, I hate those dudes in the dungeons who have the swords and shields. I also don't like the dude with the shield in Zelda 2.

Highly annoying.

[Moo Cow]

In the second Zelda, the knights in the castles.
Lakitu and squids from Mario.
Bats, Medusaheads, and those things the eagles drop in Castelvania.
The game Cheetahmen 2 (you can't duck, as such, 80 percent of your enemies are annoying)
There are plenty of others I can't think of.

[Ed Oscuro]

I actually don't have too much trouble with the regular Castlevania Medusa Heads/Bats/Fleamen (Hunchbacks), and in fact I almost always use the bats and medusa heads to skip parts of the games (first and second levels respectively).

Now, that damned frankenstein/invincible humper combination...arrrgh...too hard without a subweapon :P

[Tron 2.0]

Sigma just about every MMX game he's in.

[Haoie]

Long story short, any kind of enemy you can't kill/destroy, but can only stun/avoid.

And heck, a lot of things fall into that catagory.

[Blackjax]

How could this thread even come up and not mention Luca Blight from Suikoden II?

You have to take him on in a "war" battle and beat him, then you have three parties of characters - two of which are pretty much guaranteed to be murdered outright (unless you've been leveling EVERYONE) and then you still have to fight him one-on-one!

Second hardest boss fight EVER.

Don't even get me started on Apollo in FFL2...
