Yes you can, it's just a little harder than with the other weapons.

Pick a Megaman game, then pick a boss, their patterns are painfully predictable once you've seen it once and that only takes about 30 seconds.

Now I couldn't figure out how to kill the damned boss at the end of Southpark for the 64, he would always go and recharge after I gave him a significant enough beating, sure he couldn't hit me but I think my cartridge had a glitch and the bastard kept healing himself before I could kill him.

Fighting Sigma in Mega Man X. Just about everyone who's fought him knows about the claw trick against his final form. Wait for him to do the "here's my hand, jump on it and I'll give you a lift so you can shoot at my head" attack. Just stand on the edge of one of his hands. The lightning he shoots from his hands won't hit you, and you'll be out of range of the lightning and fire he shoots from his mouth. You can just stand there and fire charged shots. That is, until he decides to use his "here's my hand, jump on it and I'll give you a lift so you can shoot at my head" attack again, except with his other hand.

If you're lucky enough, you can take off a good chunk of his lifebar before having to jump off his hand.

Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. Take a full set of heavy armour, enchant it to reflect damage with Grand soul gems, stand in a corner and block, healing yourself every so often. You know the Gatekeeper in the Shivering Isles expansion? Killed him without swinging my sword once.

Vanish + X-Zone

i always went with vanish and doom, but same thing. really made the game pretty easy. and it was too tempting not to do it.

In the last level of Conflict: Desert Storm, theres a secret passage in the bottom of the canyon that leads into the base.

What, noone remembers that game?

(And I made that up by the way, I just wanted to mention Conflict.

The Fury in MGS 3, just run to the back of the area you fight him in, then sit there with a sniper and shoot. He won't get anywhere near you.

I did the same, but with a rocket launcher.

Lol, the point of the fight wasn't so much as to beat him, but to reflect on the previous games and events.

Yes, When fighting salazar, fluke that the rocket hit him in the right spot in the first 30sec and therefore skipped a long hard boss fight.

Those freakishly difficult ghost fish thingies near the end of Ninja Gaiden. Even though they're individually nothing, if one got a hold of you, you became helpless to all freaking 20 of them feasting on you...
Air destruction slash (A+X) takes care of them without a hitch, so long as you never stop for anything.

Most of Bad company,
"TANK!!!" Take my golf cart and run away,

"MERCS!" Run trough,Shoot one to get a new gun.

"helicopter!" Run to the red smoke,which causes a cut scene and the helicopter disappears.

If nothing else, High grade Explosives.

In RE4 in professional mode when you're fighting Krauser. From my experience there is no way to just shoot him to death within the time limit. If you don't already have the money, sell everything that is unnecessary and buy a damned RPG. Kills him in one hit and was the only way I could beat him. Remember only in professional mode. He's cake on normal.
Also something I accidentally discovered in Oblivion for the PC. Hit the ~ key, click on an enemy and type 'kill.' Instantly kills anything. I figured it was a cheat when I found it, but I'm still proud of the fact that I just found it, not looked it up.

I-War 2

Ok, so, big fleet-vs-fleet battle, I get killed. Replay, I skip the cutscene. Enemy fleet has disappeared and now its being declared a victory. I look around in blinking confusion and say, "O...k then..." and continue the game. Hoorah!

FFVIII. There's this part where you have to fight a demon thing which is nigh on impossible to beat. Just wait until that dame with the nunchuks get her Limit Break, and keep cycling through until you reach The End, which will instantly kill the guy.

Come to think of it, having Selphie in your party allows you to avoid every battle in the game...

Easiest battle to date: Women

The answer is "Yes, you're right" regardless of if they truly are or not. Let them have that illusion while you go about more important things...

I'll try that one.

Anything above average difficulty in Condemned 2 (the creepy girl in the doll factory, muscular guys, etc). Just keep knockin' em back. Kick, hook, kick, hook, weapon hit, power hit, kick, hook... you get it.

It's possible but difficult with the timing.

In that case, it's the worst Boss Fight ever.

In timesplitters future perfect in one stage you verse this mutant deer thing that breaks through a wall. Hide in the spot it breaks out of and it can't hit you. You can do the same thing to the goliath later on but nedd to hide behind the door.

Any battle in Oblivion once you have items & enchantments giving you 100% chameleon (I did it with 2 rings, a custom pendant & a custom shield).

You're not just invisible, but people don't even feel you stabbing them in the back. They put it down to drinking too much ale or rats!

AND, every counter with the hidden blade is automaticly a kill.

Agreed, that's the most ridiculous part of the whole game, you can even hold a torch in your hand and they won't see you.

Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Link VS Gannon, final boss battle

i was hammered on Jack Daniels and didn't have enough arrows. i joked that i was going to just hit gannon in the cock with the sledge hammer until he died, at which point i discovered you could roll through his legs to reach his tail with the hammer, stunning him for the sword hit.

this crotch roll method is probably the fastest and easiest way to beat him.

yes, you can.

just press the button once to pop the blade out. the next button press will execute the counter with the blade. the blade only stays out for a limited amount of time, so you have to keep popping it out in anticipation for the counter. the timing for the hidden blade counter is very very narrow, being the most difficult weapon to counter with.

the hidden blade counters also happen to be the most brutal and like another poster said, it's the easiest way to beat the end boss.

I ran up to tanks with the power drill and drilled the tracks until they exploded.

Actually, the point is to show you that war never changes, in the end, its just two old men beating the shit out of each other - it proves nothing. I thought it was a really good fight in that sense
