Who's your most HATED final boss in any game ever?

Hmm, gah gotta' think really far back for this one...well in my opinion the most fun boss to fight against was the clown guy (forgot his name) from Kirby Superstar Milky Way Wishes, teleportation, changing forms, multiple insta-kill attacks, attacks which he is not present on screen for, limited window when you can attack him, and awesome boss music, it doesn't get any better than that. Gonn'a have to think a bit more on which was my most hated though...
I admit, I haven't been playing too many games and in turn, haven't met a lot of 'bosses' that really piss me off yet.
Though at the moment, I would have to say the one in Metroid Fusion for the GBA, Samus against... herself. Since she had the same moves, and I wasn't the 'best' with said skills, I died MANY times at her hands. Even with arguably, full upgrades. Annoying to say the least. <_<

Um, that's Serious Mr. Karate you're thinking of. The big nose says it all.
Akuma has the unblockable teleport punch from above, which is actually pretty easy to avoid, but Mr. Karate is Hell. Between having all of regular Mr. Karate's supers as normal moves and having priority and windows of invincibility on some moves... ugh.

Sephiroth. Not because of the fight, but because of the fangirls.
For fuck's sake, Kefka accomplished everything while Seph FAILED, and was cheerfully, hilariously sadistic all the while -- along with cooler music and the coolest villain laugh ever.
As far as I'm concerned, the Final Fantasy series reached their high point at VI, and then fell off a fucking cliff right after.

Yeah, FF7 was only a little bellow FF6, but after that...well...
I still like FF8, but it's true that it was far bellow the previous opus...and with FF9...I HATE FF9, no real originallity and characters totally hollows...I hate that game...it is an insulte to the serie as much as FF10-2.
Sigh...one incredible license turned into a stupid marketing magnet...
Well, anyway, the boss I hate the most is...huuuum...Ultros in FF6, he is a fucking annoying bastard, I was willing to trow my TV by the window after the third encounter.

Kefka may not have killed Celes (by the way, I'm guessing you mean the FF6-equivalent of Aeris), but he did kill General Leo; he did kill Emperor Gestahl; he did achieve virtual omnipotence; he destroyed the world; and he defeated the heroes. A full year passed between the end of the scene on the Floating Continent and Celes' awakening on that island. Whatever else the heroes may have been doing in that year, they *weren't* fighting. And it took considerable machinations to get some of them back.
In my opinion the only way in which 7 is clearly superior to 6 is in graphics. Which is a function of the system the games were designed for. Not the storyline themselves.
VII's characters were mostly flat, in my opinion, and there were fewer of them. The magic system was FAR clunkier. Chocobo breeding was cool at first, but it quickly became a tedious gimmick. And constantly switching discs was OMFG!Annoying, though this isn't a criticism of the game itself.
And 6 has *way* more replay value, because of the level of emotional investment in it. If I still had a copy of it, I might be playing it today -- twelve or thirteen years after its release. VII (7) isn't even ten years old and I've got virtually no interest in playing it now.

Sephiroth killed President Shinra, managed to get the main character to give him the key to his nefarious endgame, then put said main character into a poisonous coma. Not exactly a small resume.
Plus OWA > Kefka's theme. Both are cool, but OWA takes the cake.
What I wish is that they'd remake both VI AND VII with the PS3's graphics like rumors are they'll be doing for VII. Both games deserve it.

And how much emotional investment did we have in that guy?
Oh yeah, that'd be zippety doo da zippety jack squat.
That was:
1) no small part Jenova's work
2) nowhere near as cool as Kefka's manipulation of the statues and anyone who says it was is objectively wrong. And a liar.
Kefka poisoned all of Doma to death except for one man. And his bid for power killed or at least incredibly damaged the spirits of everyone but Celes, and she has the excuse of having been in a literal coma for a year. Hell, Strago was actively worshipping him.
Meh. I can hardly even remember it. Shows you how much it won me over.
Seven (7) already got Advent Children, it doesn't need anything more.

AC: stays as the movie... havent heard of an official game since the story's pretty much done, it would be more an epilogue to the whole story
BC: is a japanese cellphone game, centered about 5-10 years before ffvii (back when Sephie was still everyone's idol and the Turks were the good guys)... we'll be lucky if they decide to port it to one of the portables (DS *hope hope hope* and ShotGun Female :wub: )
CC: havent really read up on it... according to wikipedia it's gonna be for the PSP and yes it's going to feature Zack and then Soldier nooblet Cloud, seemingly around the Nibleheim incident (like in the Last Order OAV)
DC: ahhh Vincent's foray into stardom of a DMC-type game. Heard it's good and situated post AC... more like tying up loose ends.
