Line #5 PlayingWith/SNKBoss


1	'''Basic Trope''': A video game boss who actively subverts or even outright breaks the mechanics and rules of the game.
2	* '''Straight''': In ''Destiny Duel III'', the FinalBoss, Blackhole, is difficult to defeat, due to him countering your every move, having an impossibly high attack strength, and possessing a Super Move that fills the entire screen.
3	* '''Exaggerated''':
4	** Blackhole is capable of defeating the player in one hit, instantly.
5	** Blackhole is capable of defeating the player in an unskippable cutscene during the fight (and said cutscene plays ''at random'').
6	* '''Downplayed''':
7	** Blackhole's A.I. is very powerful, but he is balanced for multiplayer.
8	** Blackhole has a ton of cheap moves, but [[ArtificialStupidity his A.I. is very poor]].
9	** Blackhole either only has [[GlassCannon ridiculous attack]] or [[StoneWall ridiculous defense]].
10	** Each of Blackhole's stats are only slightly increased, but he'd stick out like a sore thumb of steel in the game's intricate multiplayer balance.
11	* '''Justified''':
12	** The Blackhole that serves as the end boss is a powered up version of the one that is available in multiplayer, reflecting him showing his true power.
13	** The Blackhole ranks higher on the JustForFun/SuperWeight scale than the other characters.
14	** The Blackhole is a {{Jerkass God\|s}} that can punish a player with ease.
15	** The Blackhole is the only supernatural character in a LowFantasy setting.
16	* '''Inverted''':
17	** ZeroEffortBoss
18	** The ''player'' becomes the nigh-unstoppable badass during the final battle, thus InstantWinCondition.
19	* '''Subverted''': Blackhole's attack strength is very high... but [[GlassCannon his defense is low]] and his attacks leave him vulnerable.
20	* '''Double Subverted''': ... for Round 1. Once you beat him for the first round, he decides [[IAmNotLeftHanded it's time to stop playing around]], [[TurnsRed and shows off his full power]].
21	* '''Parodied''':
22	** Blackhole is obviously CherryTapping, including attacking you with his pinky or his little toe.
23	** Blackhole fights with ''a different genre's rules'' while you're still in ''fighting game'' rules!
24	* '''Zig-Zagged''': (continued from "Double Subverted") And then in Round 3 he thinks he overdid it, and goes back to using less than his full power.
25	* '''Averted''': The boss is different for every character, but it's always a playable character.
26	* '''Enforced''':
27	** "How will we keep gamers coming back [[MoneyDearBoy for their quarters]] again and again? I know! Make the boss real hard!"
28	** "Since this is a {{Gacha Game\|s}}, we need to make the boss extremely hard to obtain so we can keep the gamers coming back!"
29	* '''Lampshaded''': "You will die a thousand deaths before my awesome power!"
30	* '''Invoked''': The creators of ''Duel Destiny III'' have mentioned that they always believe in giving the gamers a challenge...
31	* '''Exploited''':
32	** Blackhole is so blatantly overpowered and cheating so the player decides to cheat back using their cheat devices.
33	** Alternately, the player [[BribingYourWayToVictory spends a lot of their money to buy multiple SNK Boss units to defeat Blackhole]].
34	* '''Defied''': The creators of ''Duel Destiny III'' do not want to be unfair to the player, so Blackhole is no harder than the other opponents.
35	* '''Discussed''': "What're we gonna do? He's so powerful, we gotta give him everything we've got!"
36	* '''Conversed''': "ARGH! Stupid freaking Blackhole! Another quarter..."
37	* '''Deconstructed''': Blackhole is hated by the community, who advocate using cheap methods to defeat him, or even recommend against pumping quarters into the machine.
38	* '''Reconstructed''':
39	** However, the Hardcore crowd loves him, considering him to be a WorthyOpponent for their skill.
40	** The company takes note, and in ''Duel Destiny IV'', the new final boss, Deathwing, is more balanced, but still tough. Blackhole is now made an optional {{Superboss}} for those who crave more challenge post-game.
41	** The company, after seeing so many complaints, release a notice about a small exploit they built in that prevents him from using his super, making him balanced even for casual players.
42	* '''Played for Laughs''': Blackhole is a boss, not necessarily the final boss, of a fighting game in a similar vein to ''VideoGame/IWannaBeTheGuy'', thus his difficulty is cheap to the point of hilarity.
43	* '''Played for Drama''': If you lose and don't continue (or [[VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha can't continue]]) against Blackhole, you get the BadEnding.

45	Back to SNKBoss to [[VideoGame/StreetFighterIV witness my limitless power!]]
