Could you please go into detail on how the fight plays out? Thanks
My bad, probably should have waited for some examples or looked at past submissions, dont have time right now but will edit post later.

EDIT: the fight will have 3 phases. It takes place at the same location as the final boss fight of Kimami 2. Each phase will be based on the 3X Kiryu fights Ryugi & the music will change to match each time. 1st lifebar his moves will be based on his refined street fighting. After that he will draw a katana for phase 2, then will drop it, rip off his shirt, and utilize his power based brawling moves for phase 3. He will likely be mostly a close combat and combo focused boss so keeping a distant, memorizing his openings, and using projectiles can be crucial.

I apologize if some details are inaccurate, Im only up to Kimami 1 in the Yakuza / Like a Dragon series and was taking a break before starting Kiwami 2 or Ishin so im not super familiar with the character other than him being arguably the most popular antagonist.

Gonna resubmit Michael Reynolds because Illbleed is cool and I think it’s the kind of game that lends itself really well to being represented with a boss. Also damn I just realized that every piece of miscellaneous content I’ve pitched this season comes from the Dreamcast era lol.

Job #251: Michael Reynolds (Illbleed)

View attachment 354942View attachment 354943View attachment 354944

Michael Reynolds is the main antagonist and secret final boss of the cult-classic Dreamcast survival horror game llbleed. He is the twisted and absurdly wealthy mastermind behind the titular horror-based amusement park, of which none of its visitors made it through alive. With Reynolds offering $100 million to the first patron to survive his death trap, skeptic Eriko and her group of friends decide to investigate and see what all the hype is about. It turns out the rumors of the theme park's dangers were all true, and the gang has to survive six deadly attractions themed around different types of horror movies. Some of these threats include a vengeful baseball dad, a greedy dollar store owner who made a deal with Satan for a second chance at life, and my personal favorite, Zodick the Hellhog. You fight Reynolds himself in the secret true ending, where it's revealed that he was Eriko's father. Illbleed's a wild game, super worth looking into if you're a fan of survival horror or Sega's Dreamcast oddities in general. While Illbleed isn't the biggest thing we haven't given much major content to, I think it'd be really fun to pay homage to this cool little cult title that rarely gets any recognition.

Reynold's boss fight is split up into two phases. In his first form, he's a giant deformed head that can hit you with the giant ball on his head and shoot powerful laser beams at you. He melts into the ground and reemerges behind the player constantly, so make sure to stay on your toes and choose the right time to strike. In his second phase, he'll transform into a giant flying Lovecraftian brain monster that can shoot ghosts at you and fire green homing projectiles. He'll also try to ram his brain into you and create a giant red tornado of said ghosts around him.

I previously submitted this as an assist but I think it's better suited as a boss. Also, it's criminal how The House of the Dead doesn't have one of its creatures in a prominent role yet.

Job #251: The Lovers Type-6805

View attachment 340803

The Lovers is one of the main boss creatures in House of the Dead 4 who fought against James Taylor and Kate Green. True to their codename, they are technically not one but two beings in a seemingly symbiotic relationship: The main body is a giant, female tarantula with four legs while a much smaller, male spider on her head acts as the main weak point and has a pair of enormous, spiky legs.

In a similar fashion to Rathalos in Super Smash Bros Ultimate, Lovers is a boss character that can jump in and out of the stage by climbing through the background. They usually alternate between two attack patterns: when the female throws webbing at the players to slow them down, the male protects himself with his legs; and while the male tarantula slashes his prey, the female moves around the stage. The female can also summon small, arachnid Taran creatures to their help. Due to its weak point mechanic, hitting the male tarantula's head with certain attacks can stun the boss for a short while.

The stage they are fought in is a large construction elevator in a constant ascension that occasionally drops rubble and may have a slowing spider web at random places. The battle theme is either Boss Raid or A Decomposition Dance.

Shadow Master (Shinobi)

In his first phase he zips around the screen, throwing kunai. He can also occasionally block attacks and has a special move where he throws three kunai at a time. In his second phase he throws energy blasts and gains a jumping kick attack. He also has an attack where he rises into the air and shoots energy blasts all across the screen. The area you fight him in is based on the final boss in Shinobi III.

I am torn, because on one hand, I kind of want this character to be the Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta or Smash 4 Bayonetta of this game (an absurdly powerful DLC character released at the end, or at least one who has that reputation/appearance - they'd likely be balanced), but on the other hand, I'm not sure if there's going to be DLC beyond this point, and they'd also work as a boss.



ELIZABETH (Persona)

One of the attendants of the Velvet Room, Elizabeth also serves as Persona 3's ultra-difficult bonus boss who (by RPG tradition) is much tougher than the final boss of the game. Quirky and not entirely sure how humans interact with the world around them, Elizabeth comes into battle armed with the Persona Compendium, a massive book that allows her to summon any Persona from that game.

Much like her boss fight in Persona 3, and her playable appearance in Persona 4 Arena, this means that she can use a wide variety of physical and magical skills. Her boss fight is relatively straightforward - rather than having multiple phases, she has a ton of health, and while her attacks have a wide range, they're telegraphed by the Persona that she summons beforehand.

* Agidyne: Elizabeth summons Surt, who stabs his sword into the ground - pillars of fire burst out of the ground, one at a time, as they cross the floor.

* Bufudyne: Elizabeth summons Gabriel, who shoots shards of ice directly upwards into the air - they freeze opponents on contact

* Garudyne: Elizabeth summons Trumpeter, who blows into its trumpet, causing a large green gust of wind to shoot out - the individual hits aren't as powerful as her other attacks, but it hits multiple times.

* Ziodyne: Elizabeth summons Odin, who raises his hand, causing a massive bolt of lightning to strike the area in front of him. This doesn't have much range, but it's incredibly powerful.

* Brave Blade: Elizabeth summons Thanatos, who draws and swings a sword so quickly that it's difficult to follow what he's doing. (think Vergil from Devil May Cry)

* God's Hand: Elizabeth summons Kartikeya, who stabs forward with a spear, sending out a piercing shockwave.

* Primal Force: Elizabeth summons Metatron, who poses dramatically as a massive fist falls from the sky in front of him.

* Diarahan: Elizabeth summons Daisoujou, who restores her health. She only uses this once, when she reaches half health.

* Megidolaon: Elizabeth won't use this until she reaches 10% health, and for good reason - it's an Almighty spell that covers a wide area and deals massive amounts of damage. It can still be avoided, but it's harder to dodge than her other attacks.

Even when she's defeated, she just lies down with an amused look on her face, indicating that she wasn't taking the fight completely seriously.

Job 251: Ernst (Rise of Nightmares)
Ernst.png

Ernst was once a normal man, living his life with his wife Yeli when they were both kidnapped by the twisted doctor Viktor Fleischer who performed all manner of experiments on them. After the two of them escaped their cell, Ernst offered to stay behind to distract Viktor's monsters and allow Yeli to escape. His plan to do was a success but he ended up being caught and further experimented on until he became this masked monsterous mountain of muscle.

Ernst himself is impossible to damage, with everything the opponent throws at him only slowing him down, making him a different kind of challenge for a boss battle. He can be knocked back, but he cannot be killed, and escape is really the only way to win against him!

Ernst's boss battle therefore would consist instead of a long gauntlet style stage that the fighters must escape from whilst taking down the various lesser experiments known as the Altered as Ernst chases them down. Only by reaching the end of the stage and escaping will the fighters win this boss battle.

For attacks, Ernst has the ability to shoot drill tipped chains from his hand which can impale opponents and bring them back to him. Ernst can also periodically send out an Altered to chase the fighters down. If you're caught by the altered you'll want to tap the attack button rapidly to free yourself as Ernst's physical prowess will allow him to melt through the fighters HP very very fast with his powerful blows and drill tipped chain spears should he catch up with the fighters.

Interestingly stopping for a while without making a sound will confuse Ernst, as he only can follow opponents by sound. That helmet he wears obscures his already poor vision, so in a pinch perhaps the best course of action is doing nothing and confusing Ernst making him head in the wrong direction...of course the Altered are unlikely to let you stay static for long, so this may be a situational tactic at best!

Job 251: Ramirez/Zelos (Skies of Arcadia)


I searched for a character that's from a niche series, and I landed on this man. This is main antagonist and final boss of Skies of Arcadia. From what I've seen, he would be a very unique character, having 3 phases for the fight.

1st phase: He starts off in his normal state, fighting with his sword, akin to Vyze's playstyle but far more projectile focused.
2nd Phase: He sacrifices himself to Zelos, and becomes an orb of destruction. He would play akin to Yomi in Tastunoko vs Capcom

3rd Phase: Thinking you had won, he emerges out of the orb, having infused himself with the power of Zelos. He becomes completely broken, run for your life.

Job 251: Demi Fiend (Shin Megami Tensei)

Demi Fiend was once a human, but after the Conception occured and destroyed a world, he was turned into a half demon by Lucifer, with the purpose of either destroying or recreating the world. This guy has appeared in multiple SMT games as the peniultimate boss of the game, and has even been the protagonist of his own. He is incredibly powerful and would be a formidable opponent to the rest of the cast.
We've already added an SMT boss

I haven't played Dynamite Headdy in a while, what exactly are you talking about? Just wanna make absolutely sure whether it's fine or not
In Dynamite Headdy, you go around fighting keymasters, which are the main bosses in each world, except for World 4 where Heather has already beaten one of them before you get to it.

Oume & Otane (Power Instinct)
The Goketsuji Sisters and the respective final bosses of Power Instinct (Oume) and Power Instinct 2 (Otane). Oume whos the more cruel and evil sister and Otane is the more tragic sister that ended up taking down Oume for revenge and ruling the the Goketsuji clan after the first game. their appearance here is based Groove On Fight in which they tied themselves together so they could be counted as one person. Goketsuji clan holds a tournament in which who ever wins becomes the new leader however it is mostly a impossible task in the end and most dont make it far. They'll use there more iconic moves such as Gan Saishi (throw their dentures at oppenents), Ten Bu Kyaku (power spinning kick that does multiple damage), Ikaku Gan (a fearsome blast of their faces at opponents that does massive damage), some moves from groove on fight are on here such as Boudou Kuorin which has their deceased mother attack. They'll also take out the soul mirror which has a giant demon come out and take the opponents life force. The will also get the ability to transform back to their prime age making them more dangerous.



Boss theme will be a mix of both their themes
