That One Boss/Action Game/Mega Man: Difference between revisions
→Mega Man Fangames and ROMhacks
Line 280:
** Charade Man is tough enough when he mimics Quick Man for his stage's mini boss fight. But in his boss fight proper, his strategy is to be annoying by flooding the stage with activity. The balls he throws bounce around while either exploding into a pellet scattershot or an annoying Charade Man clone, and he loves to toss tons of them out in quick succession. May god have mercy on your soul if you try to fight him without the Crypt Cloak, though even with it victory is far from assured.
** If you get hit by ''any'' of Virus Man's attacks, he gets you with an infection that reverses your controls and neuters your Mega Buster, and it takes a ''long'' time to wear off. In the meantime, he's free to hit you with nasty attacks such as throwing his upper half at you or summoning a cloud of virus enemies that spread in an awkward-to-dodge formation unless you kill them all right when they appear. The former is especially awful because you have to slide under it twice to dodge, which is infinitely more complicated when your controls are reversed. And that's not even getting into the annoying little tadpole enemies he has constantly hounding you during the fight...
* ''[[Skullman In: Scooby Doc 4: The Destroyer (Featuring Atsushi Onita)]]'' is a [[Boss Game]], so a few of these are to be expected.
** Ford Taurus may have been tricky, but [[Captain America and The Avengers|Red Skull]] is officially where the kid gloves come off. All his projectile attacks home in on you, with some of them being massive fireballs that are nearly impossible to avoid. And when he isn't spamming homing shots, he's hitting you with a laser barrage that requires precise timing to avoid. His one saving grace is that he's easy to hit, since he's a massive target.
** [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Shadow the Hedgehog]] is fought in a motorcycle duel, and your bike severely limits your movement [[My Rules Are Not Your Rules|while his does no such thing to him]]. While you're fighting to keep yourself from getting pinned on the left side of the screen, Shadow's bouncing around at random and firing the Chaos Emeralds at you with wild abandon.
** [[Action 52|Non-Human's]] attacks may come in single shots, but their patterns tend to be annoying and frustrating to deal with. Special mention goes to his skulls, which home in on you and ''explode'' into a scattershot when they hit the wall, meaning that they likely can and WILL hit you even if you dodge the first attack. Lesser but still annoying are his fingers, which will jump to throw off your dodge timing before rushing straight into you.
** [[Antagonist Title|Atsushi Onita himself will show you exactly why he's got top billing in the game's title.]] There's no bullshit on his end, no obtuse game mechanics, nothing. Just pure, raw aggression and hard to dodge attacks. He never lets up, and at nearly every point in the fight you're either dodging storms of projectiles, tightly-spaced traps, and sword attacks that can fly in at any angle. On the bright side, he's a rare example that blends this trope with [[Best Boss Ever]] because once you learn how he works? He’s fun as hell to fight.
