MGS3 The End.

Can be finished in a single shot.

The Incredible Hulk SNES

At the same time, remember it being possible to turn back into banner, thereby making the boss impossible to beat...

Gotta be Bowser in Super Marios Bros. Run, jump over his head, land on axe, victory.

The very final boss in Bubsy!

But mere humans can do it that fast as well.

New Rule: Kitty Porn

 

[zruben]

I just finished Tomb Raider and the last "boss fight" was a fucking disappointment.

I hate that anti-climatic shit in modern games.

 

[The Real Abed]

Fable 2.

This. After the awesome battle in the first game I was excited to do it again. Until I accidentally hit the attack button while the villain was monologing and he fell to his death.

What. The. Hell.

 

[Nuke Soda]

Not sure if this counts but in Borderlands 2 Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt the final "Boss" is kind of a joke. I'm going to count it because they gave him a health bar.

 

[mrmickfran]

New Rule: Kitty Porn

Description added. Better?

 

[Auron_Kale]

I think it was in FFVII where you had to fight the Zombie Dragon.

I gave it an X-Potion and was done.

 

[bigbaldwolf86]

Fable 2.

Came to post this. What a truly pathetic finale it was

 

[manueldelalas]

General Scales from Starfox Adventures. You endure the whole game to have an epic fight with this asshole, you are about to hit him and it ends...

 

[AppleMIX]

Simon's Quest. You can literally just walk past death.

 

[DjRoomba]

Playing Arkham Origins right now

Why?

 

[akidnamededdy]

I think it was in FFVII where you had to fight the Zombie Dragon.

I gave it an X-Potion and was done.

Kind of an FF trope in general, there were a couple in FFVII (the only one I remember specifically was the ghost in the cave in Cosmo Canyon), quite a few in FF6, FFX has a handful too that are hurt really badly by healing spells/items...

Also: Star Fox Adventures, General Scales.

 

[Hobohodo]

I actually reset my GameCube when that first happened. Was convinced it was a glitch and I had just been cheated out of a boss fight.

Exactly as the Doomtrain in FFVI made me laugh at how simple it was and couldn't believe they decided to do it again for FFVII. By the time FFX rolled around, I was glad they stuck with 'tradition' for having some fights like that.

 

[Prisoner]

Metroid: Other M's final boss.

Yep. Such an anticlimax. At least

Spoiler

the final final boss was good.

 

[Kadey]

Yu Yevon. One hit. Bam! Dead. Waste of 2 seconds.

 

[Why would you do that?]

Isn't Gradius (and Parodius, a parody of Gradius) famous for their short, really easy, and disappointing final boss battles?

[Corrupt]

Couldn't you one-hit kill a boss in Final Fantasy (9?) by giving it a Phoenix Down?
He was undead, or Death or something

Yeah, that'd be Soulcage. He was the boss inside the Iifa Tree

 

[kunonabi]

SOTN dracula was almost instantaneous if you had the crissaegrim.

You could do that to the boss of the Great Salt Flats in FF8, although not with a phoenix down. You get rid of the Fake President's second form with a phoenix down.

 

[kittens]

That fish boss from Zelda: Link's Awakening. Swim up to its weak spot, spam the sword button for ten seconds, and it's over.

 

[MrBadger]

Also the final boss of Sonic Lost World is like 2 hits or something ridiculous like that.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

There's a "boss" in Dynamite Headdy that's so short the female love interest has already beaten him up for you by the time you get there.

 

[Phatosaurus]

Charles the Third in Viewtiful Joe.

[DarkJediKnight]

Dead Space 3's shitty final boss. Beat it on my first try and didn't even sweat it.

 

[Botossi]

Final boss of Uncharted 1! Dat 3 seconds...

 

[RelentlessRolento]

Gears of War 2... didn't even know I did anything

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU, FOX MCCLOUD

Metal man.

Metal blade.

Do it.

 

[fernoca]

I think Fable 2 is the undisputed winner of this one.

Yeah. The fact that you don't even fight the guy that was the whole reason the character started the journey ....but another character kills him as he starts talking..and talking...after killing your dog. XD

 

[midramble]

No More Heroes 5th rank Assassin

Letz Shake

Still one of my favorite boss fights of all time simply because I wasn't expecting it haha.

 

[Tecl0n]

All of them in MGR Revengeance difficulty.

Same case for the final boss in Final Fatasy X: Yu Yeven

 

[Retro_]

Shinobi PS2

Game is designed so that every boss can be killed in one hit

Even the Final Boss

 

[Deified Data]

Taurus Demon in Dark Souls. Plunge, chop, chop, dead. Rarely lasts more than 10 seconds from first contact to last. Takes longer if you want to count the time he spends running at you.

 

[darkpaladinmfc]

Dark Souls' Pinwheel. If you have a powerful enough character.

It's pretty much like they forgot an extra 0 in his HP.

 

[DeadlyParasite]

Saren, Mass Effect 1.

Talk, paragon , paragon, paragon, Kills self.

 

[Gxgear]

If Pinwheel from Dark Souls has a moveset, I have never seen it.

Speaking of the series, Vanguard's a brutally quick fight for beginners.

 

[matrix-cat]

Spider-Man 2 did the same thing as Arkham Origins, only better for my money. After you thwart his attempt to take over New York in a really cool mission where you swing all the way to the Statue of Liberty on these hovering platforms and take out a giant spinny alien machine thing he built, Mysterio shows up for a real bossfight. He talks some shit at you, then his health bar appears at the top of the screen and fills up three times, and then...

 

[Azure Dream]

General Scales from Starfox Adventures. You endure the whole game to have an epic fight with this asshole, you are about to hit him and it ends...

Came here to say that.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coeDs2f-6N8#t=60

He never attacks you, and the moment you try to attack him,

Spoiler

Andross

stops the fight.

 

[li bur]

Kotor games bosses can be defeated for only several minutes in normal difficulty, provided that you have the right skill set/force powers.

 

[Zhao_Yun]

Fable 2.

Only right answer. So anti-climatic.
