So you've trampled yer way through various other opponents just to win the glorious tournament and claim your ultimate prize. However, the host either finds you worthy to fight or is probably afraid of your power, so they decide to end your life here and now In every fighting game, you will ultimately confront the final boss of the game, who is usually the one hosting the tournament. Most of the time, they're bigger than you. And other times, they'll have something your character obviously doesn't, so let's take a look at the more memorable fighters Shang Tsung from Mortal Kombat - A lot of people know who zis guy is. Shang Tsung was the very first host of the Mortal Kombat tournament. However, in terms of storyline, this is the tenth tournament. Don't let his decrepit appearance fool you. Shang Tsung is a devious and powerful sorcerer. He can fire up to six projectiles on screen, and they pack quite a punch. However, Shang Tsung's most unique ability which sets him apart from most bosses of his time is his ability to shapeshift into other fighters, including the sub-boss Goro. Thus, this would make him the very first move-swapper in the fighting game genre. The character is made made playable the following sequels afterward Shao Kahn from Mortal Kombat - Yet another unique character. First appearing in MK II, Shao Kahn is QUITE intimidating. In addition to being a tad bit larger than you, Shao Kahn wields both brute strength and magic. One thing you don't want to get hit by is his Wrath Hammer, which comes out pretty quick. A quick whack to the head sends you dizzy and screaming in pain, and he isn't afraid to hit you two to three times in a row. Perhaps Shao Kahn's biggest trait is his ego, which translates well in gameplay in the form of taunting you. Shao Kahn is quite fond of ridiculing his opponents without a care in the world. When he defeats you in MKII, he'll sometimes walk to your crumpled body and ridicule you, adding insult to injury. He is just THAT evil. Rugal Bernstein from King of Fighters - The very embodiment of the 'disease' known as SNK Boss Syndrome. Rugal fights hard and dirty, often attacking opponents while they're still down. It doesn't help the fact that he can even borrow moves from other fights. What's really irritating is his transformations. Good luck beatin' this guy Kazuya Mishima from Tekken - Kazuya has broken the mold for protagonist archetypes in fighting games. First appearing in the first game, Kazuya was initially a man of noble intentions, tryin' to stop his father, Heihachi, from performing any more evil deeds. In an unexpected turn of events, Kazuya turns into the bad guy in the next game, following in his father's footsteps. This is made even more scary when Kazuya actually transforms when defeated. Here is the first official appearance of 'Devil', Kazuya's Devil Gene manifested into physical form Uriko from Bloody Roar - Uriko is a little different from your typical end boss due to the fact that she's not only female, but makes THREE transformations. When first encountered, Uriko appears as a white-robed young child before transforming into an adult, combat form. When she is on the verge of losing the round, she makes one final transformation even more powerful than her human form. This is one boss you dun't wanna trifle with. So yeeeeah. >.> Know any spectacular bosses?
Hmmm... Inferno from Soul Calibur 2. He changed his move set evry match. It made him hard to predict. EDIT: Also The Guy from IWBTG. HE IS A.... No. I must contain my anger.
