Hey Josh please post some more fobeqestrea posts. It don't have to be mlp but I miss firebrand. But I like this type of content to. Also if your name is josh scorcher or firebrand then would Ari's name be Ari scorcher or Ari brand lol just kidding she is always the firey secretary we all love keep up the good work.
I wonder if you can do an RTS top 10.
Great video, Josh! I look forward to your next one!
Primere Josh. More live chat comments. It feels great to have interactions.
If you ask me, I think the premiere system works for these on-going series countdowns. Especially when we've already been teased what the next countdown in the series is going to be.
Otherwise, just stick to immediate uploads.
Now let’s play “Which Kingdom Hearts game will be talked about?” My moneys on 2 Final Mix. Edit: better pick up that phone.
Why bother picking up the phone though? Cause you called it
Dang, you beat me to it
☎️
Because you F**KING CALLED IT!
@@dimentiosservant All hail Cooler
fun fact: The Boss is also known as The Joy, who's husband was The Sorrow
Best pair before Tinder!
And their child was Ocelot.
@@Yami-no-Raiden yeah but he wasn't talked about in this video
No he was her lover not her husband they weren’t married
Hang on...I know how to deal with that crowd...
(walks outside...and pretends to sneeze)
(crowd runs like hell)
(walks back in)
You can thank me later.
Hooktail is actually a girl. Gloomtail calls her “sister”
Indeed.
Hooktail is female. Gloomtail and bonetail are males. So yeah.
Was about to comment this myself.
Glad I didn't have to say it.
Well. I did not know that. Thanks for the information
Seeing Asura in a sweater is strangely wholesome
To be fair, Ocarina of Time's bosses all adopted the same basic strategy: stun it with the weapon found in the dungeon, attack, rinse and repeat. Granted, each boss had a unique look and style to it, Volvagia was a volcano-dwelling dragon of fire and death (My favorite kind!), Morpha was a pool-filling evil slime, TwinRova were two witch sisters who did the Fusion Dance, and Bongo Bongo... was an invisible eldritch horror that played a drum.
That said, their strategies weren't all that varied, and I understand why Firebrand put Twilight Princess on the list over Ocarina of Time.
@ericb31 Quoting Sequelitis. Justifiable, EgoRaptor brings up fairly decent points, most I agree with.
Guess we're joining Josh and Ari in the bunker. ⛑
Ocarina's still plenty fun though, never taking that away. :)
@ericb31 It actully fells quite empowering that you dont have to hurry. After Link retrieved the Ocarina he can controll time freely, rewind it, slow it down ore move forward fast. Its so satisfaying that I have 3 days but at the same time I have all the time in the world. Its so satisfaying looking at the moon in the sky knowing it will never come crushing down becuse I can just rewind time over and over again until I finished working on the solution.
I love when Josh acts like a kid in a candy store when he mentions Asura's Wrath
If I were to pick my favourites in no particular order:
Hollow Knight
Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice
Bloodborne
Dark Souls 3
Shin Megami Tensei 3: Nocturne
Undertale
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
Nioh
Megaman 10
correct opinion
The fact that you made your own version of the DK Rap brings a smile to my face.
Josh: But we're under quarantine shouldn't the police stop them?
Police: I'm part of the mob!
Me: *laughing hysterically*
Grandpa Simpson jokes are timeless
Took the words right out of my... mind?
GET OUT OF MY HEAD! It's crowded enough in there as it is.
(What is he talking about?)
[Beats me.]
(Business as usual.)
[Business as usual.]
...
shut up.
@@xientau9028 are you okay?
@@ericwlezniak2081
Hmm? Oh yeah, I'm fine. My mind is just a bit preoccupied right now.
(He's talkig about us, right?)
[Who else would he be talking about, you dummy!]
@@ericwlezniak2081 sounds like he's got a party going on in there
The rap is the greatest thing Josh has ever done in his life as a UA-camr. Great video, Josh. I hope you and Ari stay safe from the corona virus.
For those who were born after the N64 era, the rap is based off the DK Rap from Donkey Kong 64
It was lovely stuff.
The sonic 06 song though
Yeah it was very clever and u actually sang along while microwaveing stuff
At first I thought I was going to cringe because of the rap, but I couldn't help but keep smiling. Josh really knows how to entertain his viewers
Glad to see Thousand Year Door getting some love.
I think what makes the bosses of that game even more memorable is the soundtrack they were paired with. Hooktail's sick percussion line. Rawk Hawk's metal rock banger. And Doopliss's theme is by far my favorite (and I usually don't even like haunted levels that much).
bjh2o One of the first video game soundtracks I fell in love with
Definitely has the best bosses of the 5 paper mario games
"put them all into one entry! With Rapping!"
... surprised to see this from a person who doesn't really like rap.
Oh god, i forgot that Josh isn't into rapping XD
And just when I thought he forgot his monthly top 10 list.
The list was great, I agree with most of the entries (Think Demon's Souls deserved at least an honourable mention, that game has some outstanding bosses for how interesting and different they are), but the thing this countdown reminded me of more than anything else is how amazing that opening scene was in Metal Gear Rising Revengeance, the game in the transition. Hands down, the best first 30 minutes of a game I've *ever* seen. I also think that might make a cool countdown, top 10 games with the strongest openings.
Joshscorcher is allergic to difficulty that's why Demon's Souls was not on the list demon souls in my opinion is a masterpiece
@@redseagaming7832 To be honest, kinda glad no Fromsoft title was on here. Think the bosses gets a bit too much praise since there isn't all that much to most of them, basically just being a bigger standard enemy. I know there are some clear standouts, and I do enjoy the games, but most of the bosses are just kinda there.
@@Tokensdorf You should play dark souls 3, widely considered to have to best bosses in the series.
Here’s to holding out for a Rune Factory or Fantasy Life entry...or Ni No Kuni :3
I honestly think Ratchet and clank can have some pretty solid bosses
18:37 josh you knew damn well what you were doing putting him there at the last second..... nice job
As always in the darkest of times, Joshscorcher comes in to bring the light, joy, and smiles to all of those who watch his videos. I’ve been going through some hard times losing my grandpa-in-law and my mom losing her job. Your videos always brighten my day and it’s brought me joy in these hard times. Just want to say thank you for all you do and keep up the amazing work!
And that's how Corona wiped out humanity, all because Josh didn't put Ocarina of Time on his countdown. =3
Morpha, Queen Gohma, and Bongo Bongo were boring as all hell tho. Ganon is amazing, but the rest of them are pretty all right, nothing more
@@aardbei54 I agree, honestly. Especially Queen Gohma.
The fights have good enough mechanics but most have kinda underwhelming presentation and just feel too simple
@@aardbei54 and king dodongo and barinade are way too easy. honestly other than the final boss the only ones that are exceptional are phantom ganon and twinrova
*intense wheeze*
I'll never forget completing the "Beat each stage on 9.9 without dying" challenge in Uprising.
Literally! Was in a Food Basics (Grocery store), at checkout, waiting for things to come down the conveyor belt, 1 hit away from another restart, and got through Hades' final phase without taking a hit. Yelled out loud with relief when I won. Got some looks, didn't care.
... Sadly, I didn't complete every challenge; acquiring all skills was just a hassle. THANKS, RNG! But it won't rob me of that feeling of unbridled joy in completing Uprising on 9.9.
This is a very hard time. The voice of Soldier: Rick May has passed away due to having a stroke in February, then eventually dying from it on April 8th, 2020. Rest In Peace Rick May. You were an awesome voice for Soldier.
#10: Died laughing at the cringe. In both ways.
#9: I was expecting Revengence, but oh well.
#8: Blizzard, why? Why Battle for Azaroth and Warcraft 3 Remake was a thing?
#7: Meme and HAM factory. Also, Hades is best boi.
#6: Mid-2000s Dark and Edgy done right. Also, pretty mad.
#5: What's Sticker Star?
#4: New World's Symphony, anyone? Also, no more paywall!
#3: And he had a whole month dedicated to it, folks. And yes, he won't shut up about it. Not that we have a problem with it.
#2: Not having a bad time here. Also, make a video, man.
#1: The OG Boss Game. At least, before Monster Hunter stole its thunder.
I agree with most of this, but I want to inform you that the original monster hunter came out first one the date of March 11, 2004, while shadow of the colossus released on October 18, 2005.
Wow has Alot of great bosses
Also hey chin up, we got Shadowlands
Monster Hunter didn't steal anyone's thunder. It came out in 2004. SotC came out the following year.
Did you think we wouldn't have a Platinum Games rep on here?
@@sarahebris If it was going to be Platinum, I'd assumed Nier: Automata.
That number 10 left me wheezing, wasn’t expecting that
During the Undertale portion, I'm surprised you didn't bring up how many of the fights are puzzles where you have to find out how to spare or kill them.
There are so many things to love in this video.
•First of the Rap song was glorious
•I love all the games you picked it’s really awesome to hear so many unique titles on one one list.
•Kingdom Hearts Squeeee
The humour in this vids is brilliant especially the end.
Lastly I wanted to add my top favourite bosses in a game. BanjoTooie it was one of the first games I ever played each level had its own villain and you never knew where they were. I can remember being on the edge of my seat every time I started a new level.
Great vid Josh hope you survive the mob.
2 years later, and we're STILL GOING! Just how long will this series go?
I completely agree with Number 2.
The music for each boss's theme is its own form of incredible.
I'm very glad that one of these themes made it into Smash Bros.
"Mob comes to his door"
Josh: Honey, grab my amps. It's "Fight The Knight" time!
Dark Souls 3, get past the weaker/gimmick ones and you have one of the best boss collections of any video game. This doesn't even factor in the incredible soundtracks that go with the fights.
I honestly expected Kirby: Planet Robobot to be #1 given how amazing the bosses are in that game, should've gotten an honorable mention. Either way, great list!
I always thought Twilight Princess had the visual scare and what-the-crudery. I support that choice 100%.
Another great vid, man. Hope you're taking care of yourself during these crazy times.
"I'm part of the mob!" I love that.
beat-em up crew was hilarious. I feel like it should include Astral Chain, Wonderful 101 and Metal Gear Rising too....
If he does a reprise, he should get Dan Bull or someone who does gaming raps. It was funny, but still.
Top 10 metal gear bosses
Top 10 fire emblem bosses
Top 10 tragic bosses
Top 10 final fantasy bosses
For suggestions lol
A lot of the bosses in Final Fantasy XIV are great. Yeah, each boss fight boils down to "how can I do my rotation as much as possible", but later bosses tend to have some interesting twist to them. The remixed Primal fights in Shadowbringers' Eden raids are all just...so good. My personal favorite...is a tie between E6 and E8. E6 has your party face off against Ifrit and Garuda at the same time...until they decide to combine their powers and become an entirely new enemy. E8 has Shiva, who's shifting between Ice and Light attacks. The Savage raids really take things to the extreme too.
Not a bad list. Glad to see Thousand Year Door, Kingdom Hearts, and Undertale on this list. But my favorite game ever - one whose bosses are a huge reason it's my favorite game in the first place - is sadly absent. And that game is Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. This game has some of the most fun, satisfying boss fights I've ever played. Whether it's msking Burt the Bashful lose his pants, pushing Roger the Potted Ghost over the edge, battling inside Prince Froogy's stomach, or chasing down Raphael the Raven on a spinning planet, every boss has its unique gimmicks, weaknesses, and personality... not to mention some sweet graphics. The final battle against Baby Bowser is so intense, it may be better than any of Mario's battles against his adult counterpart.
"Shouldn't the police stop them?"
*I'm Part of the Mob!* I'm dying XD
It's good to see you're back fiery joker, and for this list..... Damn those are excellent choices , can't wait for the next boss video.
And how can we forget some of the great abridged series for twilight princess
Kinda sad no Final Fantasy entry, but it's understandable.
That said, Josh, will we be seeing stuff from the remake on your lists in the near future? Or possibly a playthrough?
Personally, I would pick 9. It's often the underdog of the FF franchise, but BOY did they put their all into it ! (if you can forget Death at the end, of course)
EDIT : I mean, SERIOUSLY !?! An optional boss in the middle of a tense timed section !?! that rewards you with the 'Haste' item WAY earlier than you should ? heck yeah !
@@pierre-mariecaulliez6285 Yeah, all the bosses in 9 are enjoyable, well-written, and can be challenging if you don't know the strategies.
The disc 4 Memoria bosses and Necron notwithstanding, of course.
Wait, NO Kefka!? That's a crime.
10: The Beat Em Up Crew
Me: Sick rap dawg, it’s soo awesome that it’d make Snoop Dawg jealous
09: Metal Gear 3; Snake Eater
Me: Different weapons for different bosses, cool, it makes the game play soo much more fun.
08: World Of Warcraft
Me: I really need to check that game out
07: Kid Icarus: Uprising
Me: “Can’t hear you over all this awesome” That’s gonna be my catch phrase, love it, will use it.
06: Twilight Princess
Me: And from that I have a new remake I can add to my remarks playlist
05: Thousand-Year Door
Me: So we fight paper builds
04: Asuras Wrath
Me: Logic has no place in this game
03: Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix
Me: It won’t be a top 10 without a Kingdom Hearts game
02: UnderTale
Me: And it’s an awesome game with heartwarming moments if you play pacifist
01: Shadow Of Colossus
Me: That title alone is awesome
{24:30}
Some of my choices:
Furi
Shadow of the Colossus
God of War 3
Hollow Knight
No More Heroes
Wonderful 101
Metroid Prime (1 & 2)
Shovel Knight
Dark Souls (series)
Hollow Knight should have been on this list
Don't forget the Optional bosses in Asura's Wrath, whom of which were brought over from Street Fighter. Ryu and Akuma, who you fight Ryu first in a Street Fighter 4 style fight until you beat him so hard it turns into a proper arena fight with Hadouken Barrages, Super powered Shoryukens and combo's galore, and that's before he turns into Evil Ryu where he turns up the pace 10 fold to keep you on your toes.
Then you have Akuma, who arrives once Ryu is beaten and you have to do it all again, but this time with Akuma transforming into Oni! The fight with Oni is so immense that you actually clash Raging Demons and attempt to out punch the godlike demon himself! The fight ends with a climax where both Asura and Akuma become petrified in stone due to all their clashes and then wind up for one last blow.
Honestly, as optional bosses, this is how you do your strongest street fighter justice and it only becomes more hype when you watch someone like Maxmillian-Dood undertake this feat on the hardest difficulty. Man that shit was so hype!!
A Top 10 on bosses huh , a bit typical but I'll definitely still find enjoyment in it .
Best Bosses in total
Personally, I’ll defend you for picking TP over OoT. You had to limit yourself to one per franchise, otherwise LoZ would have multiple slots. OoT and TP are neck and neck when it comes to bosses but I would agree. TP just manages to edge OoT out.
10. The Beat Em Up Crew Rap was amazing. And i say that unironically.
9. I GIVE MY LIFE. NOT FOR HONOR, BUT FOR YOUUUUUU
8. A World full of WarCrafting Bosses
7. Every Day is Pick on Pit Day
6. TP is definitely one of my all time favorites.
5. I T ' S A C O N S P I R A C Y !
4. Asura's Wrath would've been lit as an Anime.
3. "Oh wow, who saw that coming?"
2. Oh yeah. it's all coming together
1. Eventually, JK Dormin reveals that you, the player, were the boss all along
Awesome list ! :D. One game I love the bosses of is megaman zx advent, because you get to play as them after you beat them .
I'm honestly disappointed that you didn't put any of the Kirby games on this list, with boss battles that seriously deserve recognition. Other than that, great video. The rap was glorious!
12:47 - Seeing something that can scar you be like "NOPE, NOPE, NOPE! The Land of 10,000 Nopes!"
Great. Just great. Fabulous list, Mr. Scorcher.
...Josh. It's freaking midnight over here.
Patrick: Oh boy 3am.
Hey Josh. I'm curious since I know you love Kingdom Hearts 2 final mix so much. What do you think of Kingdom Heart 3's DLC. Or rather the Organization 13 data fights and the secret boss fight. Are they as fun as the Kingdom Hearts 2 bosses?
I would say they are just as good if not better personally I feel like Yozora is one of the most well constructed superbosses I've ever faced
@@KeyBladeMaster-Dan Agreed. They were all really fun and really tough fights. =) Yozora of course was by far the most fun and thrilling.
Well Josh.....Thanks to you, now I'm never going to be able to fight in Agrabah again without seeing Mr. Popo spitting fireballs at Sora!
The jumpscare at the start of Blizzeta's boss battle gets me every fucking time
17:13 Thank you for the Lilo&Stitch reference. :)
I'd cry "Stitch", but he seemed to be a footnote in the KH series.
That Beat em up Rap was glorious. :D
12:11 as a Beyblade fan, I approve. A lot.
That rap was beautiful.
Asura's Wrath should've At Least been Top 3 with all it's Massive feeling All Out Brawls, the Music Alone makes those Boss Fights feel So Hype!
Honestly I was feeling so rubbish today but this was pretty funny and cheered me up 😂😂 thanks for sharing!
My curiosity for Asura's Wrath slowly grows further.
Holy cow, there's a version where you fight Gantu from Lilo and Stitch. I meed to find a walkthrough of that.
10:24 I DEFY YOU HEARTMAN
What is the name of the transition music?
Maybe for part of this set of boss countdowns, we could get a top 16 Shadow of the Colossus boss fights.
9:50 IS THAT A MOTHER FUCKIN LEROY JENKINS REFERENCE?!
What is the name of the song that plays when the next boss comes up?
Those are considered character action games. Beat em ups are stuff like Streets of Rage, Final Fight, Castle Crashers etc. 3D beat em ups are more like Shenmue & Yakuza.
Does anyone know what the song is that plays during the number transition?
You were having fun with number 10
What was the song that played during the countdown sequences?
Rules of Nature from Metal Gear Rising Revengence
I’m bummed Cuphead didn’t get an honorable mention. It’s basically Boss Battles: The Game and is why I wanted to get it. All of the bosses are unique and require you to be on your toes at all times while figuring out the right pattern to deal with them which still doesn’t ensure a win due to how challenging they are.
The lack of cuphead and soulsbourne series immediately told me all I needed to know about this particular opinion
Where can you find the lyrics for the song at the beginning?
I actually enjoyed the beat him up crew rap. It was clever cuz I've never played any of those games
I've thought about getting #4 at times... then I remember that the final boss is DLC. Not bothering with that nonsense.
Though to clarify, I wouldn't have problems getting the DLC that is NOT story-based, or that one "intermission" chapter, but I don't take kindly to having to pay twice to get the base game.
I seem to have lucked out with how many of these games I grew up with.
Anyone know the song Josh uses between transitions?
What was the song in the beginning
I was wondering if any of the MegaMan series, MegaMan X, or any of the MegaMan spinoff series were considered for the list?
Number 9, how passionate was about one fight brought me back in time. I miss Media Master dude...
Wonder how long it took to write that rap?
Number 4 has Allegro Con Fuoco, also known as Dvorak's four movement in his 9th symphony in the background. HELL YES
15:20
And that's when I reached this comment!
This might be because I'm on a Castlevania high right now, but I'd put Dracula X Chronicles in my own personal choice. The fight with Death on top of the ships main mast was pretty neat, if frustrating with the extra sickles. Not to mention your first boss being either a wyvern or a sea serpent, the Minotaur and werewolf battle, the quick boss rush Shaft gives you with the bosses from the first game, and one of the best Dracula fights.
I will absolutely agree on the DMC 3 choice.
Wouldve loved to have seen some smt or persona games on this list but other than that great video josh edit: oh and also if your looking for hack and slash games I believe persona 5 scramble would be a good choice
What’s that song you keep playing during this video? It kicks ass!
The "RULES OF NATUUUURE!!" one? It's from MGS Revengeance
while all good choices, I still love the boss lineup in Resident Evil 4 from El Gigante, Del Lago, and Chief Mendez, to the Verdugo, Garrador, and Salazar, to Jack Krauser, the U3, and Osmund Saddler. all of these bosses are good bosses and is one of the reasons why I like this game
Sonic frontiers would fit perfectly in this list
Oh this countdown is going to be FUN!
RULES OF NATURE!
DJsquare3 Josh’s KH2: Final Mix let’s play has ruined *Rules of Nature* for me.
ZeroRanger, Hellsinker, Metal Gear Rising, Hollow Knight and Dark Souls 3 for me. Probably more that I can't quite remember as of now, but those are the ones that I can think of at the top of my head.
I like the bosses in A Plague Tale. There's only 3 of them, but they're all completely unique and really awesome.
Wait, with the maze and the fact that those hearts blow up, was the H. Heart boss suppossed to be a reference to Bomberman?
That rap was amazing
How odd to have the list be in reverse order...
What did Ari say Josh didn't include at the end? I couldn't quite make it out.
It rarely happens when he MC in the game is not may favorite. But in Kingdom Hearts 2 did Roxas and Axel so well they both became my favorite
Hey Josh, would you consider the Monster Hunter series a Honorable Mention?
I am honestly surprised that there wasn't a mention of Final Fantasy in this. Be real here, most of the bosses in those games, especially recently, are awesome. You have the Holly Kefka that makes you feel tense, Sephiroth who is a literal death Angel, XIII had multiple God like entities you could kill throughout the series, X had Sin which was creative in design, then there's XV where everything is so giant that when you finally fight Ardyn you feel like you found your equal.
Love it or hate it, Final Fantasy just has really good bosses that I'm surprised the series wasn't even mentioned.
Terraria, Cuphead, Asuras Wrath, Undertale, Shadow of the Colossus
