Cheap Bosses

To beat Mandara, continuously jump and shoot so you hit multiple targets. It's also easier to beat it with shurikens than with bullets. I found the Masked Ninja much harder than Mandara.

Mentionned earlier.

Igniz 2K1 ( Even Zero was fricking hard for me )
Fricking Gill in SF3:TS
Dizzy, I still can't beat Dizzy.

I only have problems with bosses from fighters, I don't think I've ever had any trouble with bosses from any other genre as much as this one. It ticks the heck out of me, because then I ponder if it's hard, or I just plain suck. :(

Nowadays they have begun putting them out on PS2 and claim to be moving to Xbox.

Most people on here talk shit about them now, but back in the day they were all hersey squirting in their Thundercats underwear when they saw KOF '94 at their local pizza parlor for the first time.

Also, back in the day Puzzle Bobble was what the japanophiles would slit your throat if they caught you trying to play without an obscene amount of inborn skill.

It's pretty lame if anyone does trash SNK, they made alot of good memories for me in the arcades.

Thanks NeoZ,

I'm going to unleash over a decade of frustration on Mandara's candy ass.

SNK wrote the book when it comes to cheap bosses, especially with Geese. He was nearly impossible to beat back in Fatal Fury 1.

The only boss that Capcom has done that can come even CLOSE to the difficulty of an SNK boss was Magneto on X-Men: COTA.

I have never been able to beat him. :(

This thread makes me want to fire my NES up and play some Castlevania 3. That game was awesome.

I still say Igniz or Rugal '02 are the cheapest.
