00:00Welcome to Mojo Plays, and today we're making punching bags out of the 10 worst bosses to

00:15ever appear in fighting games.

00:17Note that we are not focusing on bosses that are bad because of their difficulty, but more

00:22so on their design, hype, and whether they even follow the game's rules.

00:34Before we begin, we publish new videos all week long, so be sure to subscribe to Mojo

00:42The BFR, Facebreaker.

00:53Facebreaker is already a pretty dreadful fighting game with its basic controls and broken mechanics

00:58that can turn matches into a parry or dodge fest.

01:01And even if you take the time to study and hone your skills, what kind of a final boss

01:06awaits you?

01:07A foul-mouthed robot.

01:09Worse, a foul-mouthed robot that can shoot missiles at you.

01:20The missiles can be tossed back at him, but it doesn't make the fight any more enjoyable.

01:25BFR is simply a dumb idea with a dumb gimmick, which is more than fitting for a broken and

01:31mediocre game like Facebreaker.

01:39The TV Remote, Cartoon Network Punch Time Explosion.

01:51We'll give some points to developer Papaya Studio.

01:54A TV remote is responsible for mashing all of the Cartoon Network shows together?

01:59Not a bad concept, but in execution, that's when all of this falls apart.

02:09The TV remote does not do much to put up a fight, and much of the game's rigid demeanor

02:16is on full display here.

02:18In hindsight, maybe the main villain should have been Aku or Mojo Jojo instead of making

02:23one big meta joke.

02:33Raidou, Dead or Alive 6.

02:39Pathetic.

02:44The Dead or Alive series has had some really tough yet fun boss fights, but Raidou, the

02:49final boss of the first game, is the most lackluster one.

02:53He's slow, hits hard, but is just a boring villain overall.

02:57So why bring him back for Dead or Alive 6?

03:00Oh, but he has a purpose in the story, because there's this little girl who's a mad scientist

03:06and she manages to bring him back to life and gives him cybernetic enhancement so he's

03:11like this robot zombie.

03:21Seriously?

03:22That's the reason we're bringing Raidou back?

03:25Look, when we've had awesome villains like Alpha 152, Genra, and Tengu, we just can't

03:32help but look at Raidou as the weakest link.

03:35Honestly, Dead or Alive 6 could have had a better boss, and it deserved a better final boss.

03:48Al'Gol, Soulcalibur IV.

03:52This shall be my first battle in ages.

03:57You are a worthy opponent.

04:01Al'Gol is not like the other entries on our list.

04:05In design, he's actually kind of cool.

04:07We'd dig him if there wasn't one crucial flaw in his inclusion as a final boss.

04:13Al'Gol completely defies the way Soulcalibur IV plays.

04:22One, two, three, four.

04:25The biggest problem with this game is that it is the slowest and clunkiest game in the

04:30franchise.

04:31Inputs feel laggy even in offline modes, making combos way, way harder to pull off.

04:38Al'Gol does not suffer from any of that.

04:41He will wipe the floor with you without hesitation and pull off the sickest combos that he has.

04:47We love him, but knowing that Al'Gol's at the end of every arcade ladder, we'd

04:52much rather suffer through Soulcalibur V, to be honest.

05:03The Pandora Fighters, Street Fighter X Tekken.

05:07This crossover between Capcom and Bandai Namco's biggest fighting games was a big

05:19deal back in 2012.

05:21Surely, they had to have had some awesome idea for a final boss, right?

05:25Eh, not really, no.

05:28No.

05:29Depending on the team that you create, you will end up fighting one of four slightly

05:33more powerful versions of pre-existing characters.

05:36You'll either face Jin and Shayu, and Bison and Juri, or Ogre or Akuma by themselves.

05:49We get that Street Fighter X Tekken already has a really meaty roster that is likely taking

05:55up a good amount of disk space with their mechanics and animations.

05:59Still, couldn't we have gotten something cooler than recycling fighters with slightly

06:04better attacks?

06:05Come on, guys.

06:06You could have done so much better.

06:15Kronika, Mortal Kombat 11.

06:24Mortal Kombat has seen its fair share of dumb villains, but in an era where developer NetherRealm

06:30Studios has gone and MCU'd its flagship IP, Kronika should have been their Thanos.

06:36Instead, she became their Kang.

06:47Kronika does next to nothing to try and stop the Earthrealm Warriors from foiling her plan

06:52to reset the timeline, again.

06:55She even admits to them that they can kick her butt and feels threatened by them.

06:59What villain does that?

07:01Come on.

07:02You don't admit to the hero of the story that you feel threatened by their existence?

07:06Really?

07:07And then, again, she just doesn't even do anything about it.

07:11She just does nothing.

07:13Gameplay-wise, though, she also does nothing interesting with her powers.

07:17At all.

07:18Like, she just doesn't.

07:26She can rewind your position and summon a T-Rex, but that's pretty much it.

07:31Dude, you got the Terminator in this game.

07:34Why couldn't there have been an update where she, like, opens a portal and he shoots at

07:38you from the other side of it?

07:39Mortal Kombat is supposed to be, like, 90s goofiness with its violence and toy-like characters.

07:45So why did we get this time god whose only gimmick is making dumb time puns?

07:52Come on, NRS.

07:55Nancy Mi-847-J, Tekken 6

08:11Tekken is notorious for having some absurdly aggressive final bosses like Heihachi, Jinpachi,

08:17and Azazel.

08:18But one that is just pure nonsense is Nancy.

08:22This colossal tank of a robot will fire missiles and machine guns at you every chance it can

08:27get.

08:28And of course, just about nothing in her moveset is blockable.

08:39On top of that, your attacks barely do any damage against her.

08:43Nancy cannot be stunned, it cannot be launched, and it cannot be juggled.

08:48To make matters worse, Nancy can destroy parts of the floor to create holes.

08:52And yes, falling in one hole will result in an instant loss.

08:56You're not playing Tekken anymore at this point.

08:59This is freakin' Soulcalibur.

09:07Dural, Virtua Fighter series

09:17We have nothing against Virtua Fighter, but we gotta ask, what is it with Sega and their

09:22obsession with Dural?

09:24Why has this living texture been the final boss in literally every single Virtua Fighter

09:31game since 1993?

09:33What makes her so infuriating to fight against is that she is totally unpredictable, as her

09:38moveset is a giant mix of every fighter in the game.

09:42Some of the strings she can put together will eat away most of your health bar too, even

09:46on the easiest difficulty.

09:48So not only is she the most visually uninteresting character in the franchise, she is also the

09:53most obnoxious.

10:02We know Dead or Alive has had similar characters like Alpha 152, but at least Alpha 152 does

10:08some cool moves.

10:10Dural, on the other hand, there's nothing interesting going on about Dural.

10:15And there's nothing interesting to even watch her fight.

10:18It's just a one-sided battle every single time.

10:27Dr. Eggman, Sonic the Fighters

10:37We aren't hating on Eggman because he's in the game or because he's operating a

10:41mech or anything.

10:42His last-minute appearance was honestly kind of expected.

10:46However, he is on this list because of how important his fight feels.

10:51For starters, you only have 15 seconds to whoop his butt.

10:54But that's because the Death Egg is self-destructing, so it's a race against time!

10:58Fair enough, but why does the fight end regardless if we win or lose?

11:03At that point, his extremely short fight is there only for score.

11:08No matter if you beat him or if he beats you, you still get the same ending where you flee

11:13the Death Egg before it explodes.

11:22So if Metal Sonic was the hardest fight, shouldn't he have just been the final boss?

11:28Eggman just feels a tad forced in this regard.

11:38And lastly, Ultron Omega

11:51Capcom, what in the absolute hell was this?

11:55If there was any character that could embody the downfall of Marvel vs. Capcom,

12:00it's Ultron Omega.

12:02All Capcom did was take Sigma's ridiculously chiseled chin, enlarge it,

12:07then rip Ultron in half and slap the top half of him on Sigma's forehead.

12:23This monstrosity looks absolutely ridiculous in design, and not ridiculous in the good way.

12:30Not only that, Ultron Omega is the most boring final boss in the entire MVC series.

12:37Ultron Omega doesn't do much to fight back until you've got him down to like the last third or quarter of his health.

12:43We once had awesome final bosses like Cyber Akuma, Onslaught, and even Galactus,

12:49so the thought of somebody seeing this and going,

12:52That right there is our final boss. That's Ultron Omega. That is baffling.

13:03What is the worst boss that you have encountered in a fighting game?

13:06For me, it really is Ultron Omega.

13:08That's kind of the inspiration for this whole list, to be honest.

13:11I hated Ultron Omega.

13:13But let us know down in the comments what you think is the worst boss in fighting games,
