Dark Souls - 14. Ornstein and Smough perfect battle
Yes, this fight is what everyone would be waiting for. Each individual boss isn't too hard. But there's two of them, and sometimes they behave like actual players would: they try to flank you, distract you to attack from off-screen etc. I decided to kill Ornstein first, as he's the one who always get's close to you very fast. And then I just shoot Smough. Because if my enemies aren't fighting fair, why the fuck should I?
This guy can be pretty hard. The biggest problem is that his sword attacks' hitbox stays active for a second or so AFTER the attack is finished, so dodging should be done carefully. He also has several lightning projectiles, which are easily dodged (note that a wave of several lightning balls should be dodged by rolling THROUGH it).
But wait, there's more! After his HP his 70% mark, he will start using his mirror to summon phantoms, and if you're really unlucky, the phantom will be an actual player.
I really didn't wanna do it, but since she's a boss too... yeah, hope you're happy, you sick bastards. She isn't too hard as a boss. This fight turned out to be a bit boring because she was invisible the whole time.

And here is the hardest boss in the game period. This bug moves in a style similar to the Japanese Amidakuji lot-drawing. The problem is, it is invincible while he is in the air and he starts moving faster as you deal damage to it, so you have to react quick or eat a spider leg to the face. It will also periodically eject four small spiders that will crawl along the ground.
TMNT Tournament Fighters has three versions. NES version is the one I grew up with. The difficulty is set to HARD because you can't see the full ending otherwise, game speed is set to turbo.
So, these two are the game's sub-bosses. I decided to record them together because... why not.
Casey has a nasty whirlwing attack which stuns you in addition to damage. Hothead is harder because of his size, he can hit you grond-to-air in mid-jump. Also, his fire attack is dangerous because it stuns you, and he can do it while you're stunned again. Yes, he can basically stun-lock you to death.
Who's Hothead anyway?
DrillMan is one of the harder Robot Masters in MM4, mainly because the fight can go on for a long time if he wills it so. He always starts the fight by digging into the ground (and he is invincible while doing that). After around 5 seconds, he will jump out from underneath you. Once he's on the ground, there are two things he can do: jump around, or walk between the corners of the room and shoot Drill Bombs. It may look like he's shooting them at random, but there's actually a certain rythm to it. What you should do is jump over the first Drill Bomb, then jump over DrillMan and as soon as you land jump again, that way you will easily dodge the Drill Bombs.
CHALLENGE: No Damage, No Special Weapons.
Now you know, that easy fights are over. BurnerMan's way movement is also dashing around. He will attack after a set amount of time. The hardest attack is when he uses traps and Wave Burner together.
DIFFICULTY: Hard
CHALLENGE: No Damage, No Special Weapons
And here's the first hard boss. The main problem is forcing Dyna to shoot her projectiles in such a way, that you will be able to destroy enough of them to avoid her electricity. This can lead to all sorts of unfortunate scenarios when damage is unavoidable. In fact, if projectiles didn't friggin' glitch through the wall, I wouldn't have won on that try.
Time kill Dracula again. Let's rock.
