Favourite Boss?

Post by RefluxtheKnaaren64 »

Just choose a boss for whichever reason:
How epic they are
How much fun to fight
What challenge they give.

Mine is Reflux the first time round in the Desert of the Knaaren. He is my favourite character because of this fight since he has so many moves, the music is epic how it changes for each move he uses (cool didgeridoos), the build-up is genious (you've infiltrated the Knaaren caves only to be captured by their champion. Now you must fight a glorious battle in the arena to determine if you live or die. The odds aren't too good: Reflux has chained 28 consecutive wins, he's the champion of an invincible race who scare the crud out of you, he's about ten times your size and he utilizes the power of the GODS!!!) and it's an all-round lengthy and challenging battle.

Yep, that's a good one. That fight is pretty cool graphicly and is quite varied in other aspects.

I think I still like the Grolgoth battle best. Not because it's particularly challenging - the only things that are hard about it is the lava that can trap you or the homing missiles you tend to forget, which then ram into you from behind and kill you. But I just love the music, the way of battling Razorbeard and how he makes the commentary on you while you fight. Especially the 'Aaaahh... I'm slipping!' and 'Never do that again!' still make me chuckle. Also, the massive ball of metal still has agility and skills enough to be ninja and somersault his way into a new position, which is always nice.

Mr. Dark of course
i like it how he play with rayman in the battle, just to amuse himself (that's the same way i would do it)
and when he get bored he send in other bosses
it's fight style is just perfect
it's my favorite character out the series
and now i gonna have to wait for RO Bosses, i hope you have to battle him there, too

Sweet, we all picked the final bosses (apart from me) :cry:
I prefer the first Reflux fight though because in the final battle, he seems to have lost all his variety of moves. He's no longer a dignified warrior, he's some dumb beast who just screams and flails about

By the way, does it seem as if I like Reflux at all? REFLUX!!!!

Yeah, that's why I noted that your pick was a good one. I know exactly what you mean. I just picked the Razorbeard battle for... well, reasons stated above. I also like the Foutch one, but it's not quite as good as the Razorbeard one as it's very repetitive.

Well, your sig, username and just about every comment you make scream Reflux, so... yes. XD

Actually I like the final battle against reflux. 1st phase in particular. it is somewhat baddass to dodge all those lightning bolts.

and also the biditank from rayman 2. he kicked my ass so bad before I got how to beat it :shock:

Rayman 1 = Moskito (Epic character)
Rayman 2 = Razorbeard (Epic character)
Rayman 3 = Begoniax (Epic music and great challenge)

Cauldron.
And the gloop is quite hard to dodge; its better to hit her potion before she even jumps up to hit you.

Ah, yes, I was actually staring at the word, knowing something was wrong - couldn't quite figure out what.
Yep, I always try to hit the bosses as most times as possible, even at very unlikely times, right after they attack for example - sometimes a game is set up in such a way that you can actually harm them then.

Don't kill me, but I preferred the PS1 version of Razorbeards boss fight, because it felt more One on One, and the fight felt more direct.
My favourite boss overall is probably Grolem 13 from Revolution.
My favourite Bosses individually are:
Rayman 1: Mr. Dark
Rayman 2 (non-revolution): Foutch
Rayman 3: First Reflux fight in TDOTK

It is hard to choose just one, but I guess I'll pick from each game:

- Rayman 1: Skops and Mr. Dark

- Rayman 2: Foutch and Razorbeard in the Grolgoth

- Rayman 3: Reflux in his original form

Maybe the best boss ever is Reflux (first time encounter) or the mask Guards from Rayman 2.
