i meant the sorro, not the fear. i get those two mixed up sometimes. the fight with the fear is much more straight forward.';

'fake crash in Crash 2: N-tranced on the GBA. he perfectly mirrors your movement and you can't hit him directly. not a very hard or long fight, but pretty original compared to any other crash boss, including console games.

this game is fucking hilarious, can't believe it's so obscure
anything else like this? a review says it's 'stream-of-consciousness' and that's exactly what this feels like
maybe Ai Cho Aniki, Contra Hard Corps, WarioWare';

'>>10883287
literally every boss is abstract, the only thing tangible is the hitbox which is a universal concept';

Damn, the intro to this looked amazing, but then it's an up'n'shoot...';

Haven't played Cabal but I've played a few similar games like Wild Guns and they're great but don't come close to the game that gave me this fetish, the game you posted. God I love Sin and Punishment.';

'>>10883287
this is probably one of my favourite boss fights in vidya and being in the middle of nowhere in a forest overrun temple, the semi-randomness of the portrait / gallery theming only highlights it.

I was disappointed Knuckles wasn't a boss fight in Sonic 3.
By the time S&K came out all the mystery was gone and anyway you could play as Knuckles from the get go anywah.';

This. It doesn't get more abstract than praying into the void against the mebodiment of sheer terror.';

What game?';

'No one mentioning D2’s final boss? Halfway through the fight it steals your ability to see and hear, you have to just go off of the controller’s rumble and pray you have enough resources to slog it out until ——- happens.

Massively underrated game, need to start shilling it here until more people experience it';

'>>10893187
Or hell the boss that came right before it, the giant AI mother’s body you have to shoot in the vagina while it begs you for death';

First time beating X3 I thought you were gonna have to fight the wireframe head after reaching the top. I had no subtanks left, so holy fuck was I happy there was no third fight.';
