I posted this question a bit on other forums, but I thought it was a genuinely interesting question, so why not?

Personally, I'd have to go with this song. note  Mainly because Rule of Cool. I'd imagine it being one of those big grand "everything I've trained for is leading to this moment" fights, where the hero and villain are finally face to face, and the two use godlike powers (that are really shinny) to tackle and destroy each other.

But, anyways, what about you? And no, it doesn't have to be from a video game. It can be any song.

Something like "Mach 13 Elephant Explosion" or even "Blackened Angel".

I bring firepower.

Hmm... maybe something like this. Something with Soundtrack Dissonance, too creepy for battle music.

No "Bowser's Fury" questions please. I haven't played it yet.

Something like this, this, or this. I don't know what this style is called, but I love it.

Hm, that's a neat question.

While I can imagine I'd use a different theme based on the fight's context, I'd likely default to using the Universe Seth Theme from Shin Megami Tensei IMAGINE as my Final Boss theme.

If our battles have phases, my final phase music would definitely be something like this.

Quo Vadis. Alternatively, LVBNR5 Schwarz.

The first is kinda unfitting for a boss theme, but well...

I changed my mind, I want this as my battle music.

Probably something like this. GaMetal's remix of Star Dream's battle themes , but mostly 2:52 to 4:07 (Virtual Space Manipulator / Intermezzo Without A Leader) You were expecting Pokémon music? Psych.

There's no way in hell I'd be the Final Boss of anything. I'm more likely to be a quirky middle-of-the-game boss that spends most of the 'fight' escaping, though I'm not above giving myself some kind of vehicle to even the odds. :V

With that in mind, I'd have to go with this magnificence!
