A Difficult Boss VS A Cheap Boss

A difficult boss should be hard, but a well skilled player can overcome them, leaving the player with an immense sense of gratiffication. MK9 needs a lesson in boss fights because **SPOILER**(not really though..) the Shao Kahn boss fight with Raiden is not hard, it's just stupidly cheap. There is no sense of accomplishment from dodging spear after spear only the flying dragon kick him when he taunts, I thought this was such a disappointing boss fight. What's everyone else's thoughts?

You want difficult bosses, go play Shadow of The Colossus. :D

He takes less damage then the other characters, and can even attack through ones you are already perorming. He does more damage and with his 52% damage special he absolutely destroys you. I've yet to beat him through any normal mean, by that I mean doing combos and attacks. I've only beaten him by using spam attacks and trying to stay at a distance.

Ya, there is a huge difference between difficult and cheap. They have been making cheap bosses (and cheap gameplay) since mainstream video games first started in the 80s. Finding a good, difficult, but not cheap boss is much rarer. The bosses in Demon's Souls were mostly all difficult and rarely cheap (only real exception is maybe that bastard on the narrow bridge).

God of War 3 is the king of boss fights.

Ya, thats interesting because I never had a problem with Flamelurker. Oh well, we all approach fights differently and experience results differently. I definetely thought Flamelurker was hard though and the fight was intense, but I think I killed him first attempt.

Oh ya, and new game+.....MASSIVE jump in difficulty. No comparison really. Still love the game though. I think I completed it 4-5 times.
