Summary

• Facing your character's former self in battle can add complexity and difficulty to the game.
• Battling past champions or main characters offers a challenging and fun twist for players.

There are two great joys in gaming almost everyone shares. ꧅Unlocking a boss character as playable, or adding them to your party, is one of the best. The other is the reverse, facing the protagonist or one from earlier in the series as a boss fight.

Being onꩵ the other end of the abilities you used to plow through the story is an experience that never gets old, so it's a bit of a surprise it doesn't happen more often. With that in mind, here are some video gꦺame protagonists who would make great boss fights.

9 🥃 Kasuga Ichiban

Like A Dragon

The Like♈ A Dragon series, previously called Yakuza in the West, has no shortage of tough-as-nails protagonists, but most of them have already featured as boss fights at some time or another. The stark exception is Ichiban, the lovable goof who has become the leading man of the series.

This would be interesting because Ichiban doesn't fight normally. His games areꦆ turn-based, but🐈 characters have said he really fights that way. Going up against him would either change the mechanics of the game to match his style, or you'd be tackling a very bizarre enemy indeed. Either way, it would be great fun.

8 Aloy

Horizon

A🧸loy is one of the best protagonists in recent years, brought to life with a powerful performance from voice actress Ashley Burch. She'd make a great boss fight too, constantly changing her approach 𒁃thanks to the tools at her disposal.

Fighting from range with𓃲 her bow, closing the distance with her spear, layi⛄ng traps and even sending overridden machines against you could all be different phases. The only reason to argue against this is it would mean changing the protagonist, a risky proposition for the series.

7 💧 Geralt Of Rivia 🌳

The Witcher

Geralt is a little like Wolverine: he's the best there is at what he does. Although you'll specialize him while playing 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Witcher game🔴s, he can do it all. Swordplay, signs, alchemy, and more are 𝔉all at his disposal when it comes to tackling threats.

Getting to square off against him as a genuine boss fight would be an incredible experience, and not out of the realms of ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚpossibility as the series goes on. A friendly sparring match is more likely, but a no-holds-barred combat would be one for the ages.

6 Past Champion🐬s

Pokemon

Pokemon has let you battle your previous characters🅰 before, most notably when you take on Red during Pokemon Gold, Silver and Crystal. What's so baffling is that this isn't don🐲e all the time, fighting past protagonists using their region's top Pokemon should be in every game.

This does get trickier to implement now ൩that your character is customizable, but give us a shadowy figure, a glitchy hologram, or anything at all to make this work. It being a rare trea🦂t rather than a staple is mind boggling.

5 Yuna

Final Fantasy 10

Yuna, the real main character of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Final Fantasy 10 (sorry Tidus) would m🐻ake a terrifying boss fight. Although you fight other Summoners in that game, they generally only have one Aeon they call upon. Having to defeat Yuna, who can call on all of them, would be a tall order.

Even in Final Fantasy 10-2 she'd be a tough nut to crack, using the Dressphere system to constantly switch jobs and change her combat style. If we ever do get the teased Final Fantasy 10-3 then she'll probabဣly g꧙et a third, equally variable, set of skills.

4 ✨ The Sole 💖Survivor

Fallout 4

There's no build you could give the Sole Survivor from 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Fallout 4 that wouldn't make them terrifying to take on as a boss. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Fully kitted out Power Armor is a walking tank that you 🍨pro💞bably couldn't face head on, especially with heavy weapons thrown into the mix.

A stealth build might be even more frightening. Getting caught with a critical out of nowhere would be an instant Game Over screeꦛn, sending you to reload the game without them ever needing🧔 to reload their gun.

3 Your CAW

WWE

The WWE 2K games feature a story mode fiꩲlled with unl💙ockables, called MyRise, where you create your own wrestler and take them through a series of short storylines. It's a shame that by the end they don't flip the script on you, handing you an existing W🐽WE Superstar to play as and forcing you take on the monster you maxed the stats for.

The good news is you can always do this yourself, setting up any kinᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚd of dream match your heart desires. The real෴ challenge, though, is making 29 custom wrestlers and trying to run through them all at a Royal Rumble.

2 V

Cyberpunk 2077

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Cyberpunk 2077 may have had a rough start, but 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:it's now one of the best games out there. Part of that is helped by V being a compelling character, no matter who you make them to be. They can also be an absolute combꦆat monster if you set them up correctly.

Whether it's a master netrunner of a Sandev🤪istan ninja with a samurai 💟sword, fighting V would be amazing. For an idea of how strong V is, remember that David from Edgerunners was using bleeding edge combat tech and Adam Smasher beat him. V runs through Adam Smasher like he's made of paper.

1 ꦐ ♏ Commander Shepard

Mass Effect

The hero who saved the Citadel, commander of the Normandy, approver of messages. Commander Shepard from the original 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Mass Effect trilogy is the rare example of an almos💫t flawless main character, and they'd make a superb boss fight.

You just have to hope that the version oꦰf Shepard you're taking on isn't from the Control ending. Shepard the human you migh♛t be able to fight, but Shepard the AI controlling every single Reaper in the galaxy is going to be insurmountable.
