9->''"Nothing counts when it comes to [[VideoGame/StreetFighterIII Gill]]: not concentration, nor determination, nor skill. He will beat your arse regardless. He will hit you with special moves that fill up the entire screen and deplete half your energy bar in a single stroke. He will rise again when K.O.-ed, with full health, and unleash the '''FUCKING WRATH OF GOD''' on you. He will do all this in your first fight with him. And when you finally beat him, when he finally [[ILetYouWin lets you win]], you will feel no joy nor sense of accomplishment. All you will feel is the dread of having to fight him again."''

42->''"Jyazu is a Jaguar ninja of crows, apparently. He's the final boss of Kizuna Encounter, and man does he fight like it. Take the most obnoxious parts of both Gozu and Mezu, put them together, and then add in a bunch of other ridiculous shit on top and you get Jyazu. He has tools from both ninjas, the best movement and throw range in the game, almost no recovery on anything, his own uniquely unfair tools, and better mixups than just about anybody. And none of that is even getting into his unique properties that make an already broken character easily the strongest in the game. His weaknesses are purely his characteristics as a boss preventing him from taking advantage of team mechanics, but clearly that's not enough to keep him from getting banned in tournament settings."''

53'''Hyperion:''' "Hey! I can hear you!!"\
54'''Laylee:''' "Watch out, Yooka! He's probably got some [[DiscussedTrope really cheap moves]]."\
55'''Hyperion:''' "You cretins! All my moves are fair to the player and can be overcome with proper spacing and quick reflexes!"\

71->''"In the first round I was the same level as my opponent, but all my attacks did chip damage and he kept spamming a throw that took one third of my bar per pop, pop being the sound [[NeckSnap my neck was making]]. Still, I got through it by figuring out what special attack countered his throw and spamming that straight back, and when I took care of the next few guys with judicious anti-air usage, for a moment I genuinely though 'Huh, maybe I COULD actually Git Gud at this, it's really the same observation and waiting for an opening of [[SoulsLikeRPG Soulslike combat]], just with the fast forward button taped down.' But then I got to the final, final boss, and I won't mince words, [[CurbStompBattle he chopped my soft ass up like avocado for the summer salad]]."''
