    Didn't find anything like this, so I put it up!

    If there's one thing most video games have, it's bosses, with each boss having its own unique traits and characteristics. But have you ever thought about what it would be like to be a boss?

    Thus, I created this thread!

    If you were a video game boss, what would you be like? Would you be optional, mandatory or an end-game boss? What music would be playing? How would you fight, and for what cause? What would you look like? How would the player fight you?

    For me, I'd probably be an optional side-boss. I'd be like a Street Fighter battle, where I use my fists and feet to attack, probably for some evil gang to take over a city! I'd where my usual attire of black wide-rimmed fedora, black fleece covered by a thick black coat, black baggy trousers and brown boots, with my baggy trousers tucked into the boots. This is based off my wish to be able to be more athletic and mobile, rather than having this dumb tendinitis!

    This music would play in my battle:

    If I were a video game boss, I would not be part of the main storyline. I would be purely there for the extra challenge, for the players who were not yet satisfied after completing the main storyline. I would be there for those who are willing to go the extra mile, facing a challenge much more difficult as the actual final boss of the game.

    I would be a shape-shifting boss, continuously changing forms, each of them with their own strengths and weaknessess. In order to reach me, you'd have to traverse an insanely difficult course, with some of the most dangerous enemies awaiting you. As you progressed through this field, your surroundings start to darken, and the walls seem to change shapes. Everything starts to look surreal, as if you're no longer walking on Earth, but rather is some kind of unstable dimension, which is exactly what is happening. By the time you reach me, you have already proven your worth, and the battle can initiate. Upon defeating me, you will be granted with Telekinetic powers, which doesn't require you to use a weapon at all.

    For my battle music, I like this theme a lot:

    I would probably be an optional side boss if a boss at all, with a focus on evading and inflicting ailments. I'm absolutely useless with fist fights and the likes, but I'm pretty quick on my feet. I have a pretty tough kick granted I can land it, but most of the time people can catch my leg before I make contact orz
    I'm more bark than bite for sure, haha! Maybe one of the feeble bosses that talk big and get smacked down in two hits or something

    I would be a mandatory end boss, with the power to launch fire from my hands. I would wear a yellow jacket, red sweatpants, and orange sneakers. I'd be part of an organization you try to take down by beating the boss(Me!), and to do that you have to face the many ninjas I train. It' just because I want to be a boss. Theme music? The diamond and pearl legendary battle music(I can't think of anything else, it just sounds so epic!)

    I'd probably be a boss part of a side quest for a party member. (Like one you get for reaching a certain friendship level) I'd be mostly a magic user, with some melee skills. It matches my preference for characters, and my academic skills being higher, but still being athletic when it comes to sword-fighting, yet lacking dexterity. For music, I'm thinking the evolution music in Pokémon Pinball Ruby/Sapphire, or maybe more well known, the music playing when Steven talks before battle in Elite Four.

    I'd probably be a rival of sorts. Not a true boss in the sense that I would be a villain, but more of a boss in difficulty. I'd be a constant presence throughout the game, both supporting the main character and challenging him and myself to help us both improve as the story progresses.

    As far as actual fighting style goes, I'd be a slow, heavy hitter. If you play smash bros, imagine me as Ganondorf. That's my fighting style. If you can stay out of my reach and are fast enough to dodge my hits, then maybe you stand a chance. However, if you slip up even once then I can demolish you in a single hit.

    Given that I've never been one to go into a fight without backup, I'm going to shoutout to my sis, @[member="shinygiratinaz"] for backup. C'mon, sis! Post here and team up with me so that we can be the best boss duo!

    I'd probably be a super-duper Sci-Fi boss, that you could only find if you were actively looking for me. For the battle, I would have two different stages - Myself inside some form of (Awesome) spacecraft, and after that was defeated (IF it was defeated! :P), then I'd proceed to fight on foot, using mostly ranged weapons (Of Sci-Fi style, of course!), but also some close-range weapons (LASER SWOORDS!), using perhaps some form of mobility (Jet boots? :o). Upon defeating the final form, the victor would take either a Super-Cool Spaceship (If it was a Sci-Fi Spaceship-oriented game), or a Super-Cool Sci-Fi weapon (If it was a Side-scroller or Top-down RPG-styled game).
    And my theme would be, without a doubt, "The Decisive Battle" from Final Fantasy VI / III (Depending on if you were Japanese or from Anywhere else...)

    I hear you @[member="8542Madness"], and here I come!

    If I were a videogame boss, I'd be a post game boss that's hinted at throughout the story. I'd be the helper of the main boss who's secretly had their own plan all along, and enacts it when the final boss fails.

    I'd be a boss that utilizes magic debuffs and attacks, centering around fear and illusion spells. I would focus on demoralizing or enraging the hero so that I could defeat them easily, possibly conjuring illusions to further that goal.

    And a theme?

    I would of been quite a silly boss, like thanatos. I would focus on a kind of vacuum magic, absorbing stuff and shooting it back, I would be a boss occurring at all the times you don't expect me, just like me!

    I think I would be one of those hidden bosses that are super tough to beat. Like, tougher than the final boss. Think like that crystal boss in Super Mario RPG. He was a hidden boss, and was completely optional, but he was significantly harder than the final boss.

    I'd be the weakest, first boss. I'd constantly fall and be absolutely clumsy. Stumbling about and jumping around the room. If anything, I'd be weak at the knees and if hit there, I'd take the most damage.

    OK, I will give the complete description.

    Firstly, the hero approaches the room where the optional final boss (those that are harder than the finals and come after ending the main story of the game) is sit on a elegant place talking alone (the wife or lover dissapaired during the game when she faced the main character)

    Secondly, the song that is heard when the hero is approaching would be something elegant like this

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVpkTkvIf-k

    And the chat will be based on human being and the society problems (that kind of villian that has good basics but picks the wrong path to reach them). I should be a lost family member of the main character, that lost all in life and decided to go to the wrong side.

    Thirdly, when the song is reachs the 1:07 the boss (I) will give the first attack, ending with the chat that was making him feel umconfortable.

    Finally, I can say that I would be the kind of boss that has a similar combat syle as the main character. About my looking, I always pick the light equipment, to give more hits and effectively. I prefer the Knight style or the agility hero stuff, the same for villains. White clothes, a sword, knives and stuff to throw (all kind of attacks that will have more speed when I reach low health).

    The looking should be somthing badass like this...

    [​IMG]

    The way to defeat me? Slowly disarm me and kick me really hard (wasting your mana, energy and using the most amount of special attacks)

    Something like this

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hn3Q4DfAC0w

    In the end, I would understand the reasons of the hero. but it is going to be too late for me because of the things that I made, so I leave myself fall from the place where we were fighting (I would like to fall from the cliff of a cold place outside of my castle, as boss XD). Then having memories of my past and family and fall... leaving and ethernal intrigue on the main character about if I survived or not.

    Fast Version (Story of the Boss and Fight): Hero approaches/Has a debate/Receives a sword attack from a person that is charged of rage/Dramatic Song with Symphonic style based on Piano/ Sentimental charge/Dialogues in the middle that will make the player think a lot and enjoy the final battle/Smash a lot of buttons/A Beautiful End with scenes,again, with sentimental charge.

    Fast Version (The Boss): Optional Final Boss reachable only when you beat the main story of the game. White Clothes, Sword, Shield, Cape, Armor that makes him look like a good guy (when he will be a good guy on the next game) Related history with the main character. Badass looking, hard to defeat and a future ally.

    That is all :)
