Topic: YEAH! You're not the boss of me game!

I thought It might be fun to talk about memorable times in gaming that made you feel like a master. when you finally completed a goal you were struggling with for a long time. Say for example collecting all the Chaos Emeralds in a Sonic game or Defeating a boss that seemed impossible. Which moments in gaming made you jump out of you're chair and say YES YES take that you stupid game! Then you dance around the room singing I am the Champion.

When I defeat a difficult boss or level, I usually put my arms in the air and talk gibberish.

-Beating Battletoads on NES
-Beating Ninja Gaiden on NES
-Beating Ninja Gaiden Sigma on PS3 on a higher difficulty
-Kicking the crap out of Seth on Super Street Fighter 4
-100% Songs on Rock Band on Expert Difficulty (Drums)

All of those make me feel great, as well as running oh about 160+ mph on a motorcycle, that is the one I really love

When I defeated Ansem in Kingdom Hearts one. I was stuck on that final battle for about 3 days, only because he had like 4 or 5 evolutions to fight. >: P

Yeah I had to go back and do some leveling for him myself

The guy in KH2 with the guitar was hard as nails as well.

I beat Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe Arcade mode on max difficulty without continuing. It's hard enough for me to beat any fighting game on normal. I just have to do it again to get the trophy for my current PSN account.

I also had a blast with GTA IV when getting the "One Man Army" trophy. After surviving a 6 star wanted level for 5 minutes I was planning on giving the cops a good chase before dying. I ended up having the most epic car chase I'll probably ever have in a game. I thought I was going to die but I somehow evaded cop after cop until I got to the beach. I jumped out of the car, ran into the water and just barely made it out of the flashing zone. I remember wishing I had recorded it 'cause it was insane!

Beating the Spikey Tiger in Secret of Mana. This one took me months! And before that, those Werewolfs outside the forest gave me hard time for probably another month.

I was 9 back then though. These days Spikey is my .

-beating abyssion in Tales of symphonia
-beating little red riding hood's zombie bbq on hard(that was hard enough but extreme mode is insane!)

hover bike level on Battletoads for NES
mother mary of joseph, hands down the most difficult undertaking of my video gaming career

When I finally beat the Champion in any Pokemon game. OK IT TOOK ME 50 TRIES BUT I BEAT YOU SO THERE!

My level 62 (at the time) Ampharos once beat 2 Dragonites (including a level 70 Dragonite) at the SAME TIME during the Lance/Clair double battle in SoulSilver. That was pretty awesome.

Also finally beating the 3rd level of Robot Ninja Haggleman 3. It took me 2 hours to finally get to that annoying red and blue block filled puzzle room the first time I played it and I probably spent at least6 more hours before I beat it, despite only even attempting the level at 3 different points. (it's a long ass level that you can easily get lost in and it was awesome)

Fighting the turantula dude in Dragon Quest 9 and only my main, a minstrel was left. All my party members died and I had no magic or health replenish items and I had only 23 points of health. One blow could have killed me. I decided to just attack one more time before I died and I must have been lucky because that was the killing blow! Take that, spider thing!

Oh and anytime I see this thread, I think of Malcolm in the Middle's opening song.

yulacusa or whatever near the end of final fantasy x was hardest boss ever i had 40s by that time instead of 70s
