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. |
44 | ---- |
45 | Back to SNKBoss to [[VideoGame/StreetFighterIV witness my limitless power!]] |
