I always had the image of a magical badass fighting a huge demon with this music so I'll go with it.

Wasn't there a thread just like this two days ago?

Really? /facepalm. Silly me, getting all excited over an awesome thread idea.

Could you link please?

It does depend on the game, I always thought this would be my theme if I were a Pokemon boss fight.

In the case of your other genre boss fights then this one suits me well.

As the fight goes on it becomes more intense then the music changes into this.

Well, if I were a boss in a JRPG, there is only one track that I could choose.


Tell me that wouldn't make you think the boss you're fighting is going to be one tough sunuvabitch.

If I were a recurring boss in a JRPG, the first encounter would be set with this, possibly an instrumental cover though I'm not sure it would have the same effect without the lyrics:

If I were a Sephiroth-style baddie with a final, non sequitur always-lose battle with the protagonist before the end of the game, that particular fight would be:

 
78   POSTED: 11 May 2012 22:25

Just so....Boss-y
Plus its not all low notes like most boss themes.
And it goes all, discord-y(for want of a better word) one of the reasons I love Nobody music.

 
79   POSTED: 11 May 2012 22:29

Damn this makes me want to rip shit.

 
80   POSTED: 11 May 2012 22:30

Guiles' theme goes with everything. But it especially goes with one-on-one fights.

 
81   POSTED: 11 May 2012 22:42

Standard fight, as in me as the challenger?


Boss fight, as in me as the boss?

Speed Jazz of course. I like to play a mix between a rogue and a gunslinger, so the boss battle I would put up would be fast paced and intense. When the protagonist bursts into my main quarters, they'd find me lounging on a sofa with glass of whiskey in hand. I'd mutter a short congratulations, tip my hat, and hold up a bottle as if in toast to them. I'd then throw it at them and, upon them catching it, shoot or throw a knife through the bottle at their face. Then:

Although I'd be lying if I didn't admit that there was a strange appeal to the Black Baron's theme from MadWorld

Failing that, I suppose there's always flamenco...

But if you just wanted to be silly

 
83   POSTED: 11 May 2012 23:19

Any of these will suffice:

Someone was going to post a piece from Ace Combat eventually...right?

 
85   POSTED: 11 May 2012 23:26

I am gonna own everybody. It's so simple and it wasn't posted yet. Not even once!

Out there in the stars and in between
I am gonna travel with a speed faster than thought
Evildoers can be 1 or 2 or 1000016
A breath in my lungs means all of you will get caught

My weapons, my armor and my friends will be by my side
You can bet that these will be the last hours of your blight
Cause when I am done with your worthless hide
Justice will be the only thing in your line of sight

I don't expect me to come back
But I never thought about it twice
And even though it might take me to the black
I am gonna battle every source of vice

I couldn't help it, it just came out.

I admit, the final Xemnas battle music is epic and is incredibly bossy but it just isn't as good as:

Heres a few I really like :) I'm currently looking for more

 
88   POSTED: 12 May 2012 02:27

My persoanal opinion would be this. It always makes me think that I'm an Archangel getting ready for battle against a demon army.


Also anything by Trailerhead counts I guess.

But persona songs would make sense too.

 
89   POSTED: 12 May 2012 03:01

Either this:


or this:

First: Hey, say what you want about the newest Alone in the Dark, but it had really good music.
Second: I just like it.

Superior Final Fantasy battle theme is superior.

Gotta love that SNES guitar.

But we weren't the antagonist, totally different situation.

Same concept.

Ralen-Sharr:

I've actually starting running a lot of Two Steps from Hell in the background while playing stuff recently. Good stuff to listen to.

Yep, almost anything by two steps from Hell. Can't decide whether I like the Archangel or Invincible Album better, but both have songs perfect for this sort of thing.

I officially win this thread:

 
96   POSTED: 12 May 2012 06:30

There is but one for me:

 
97   POSTED: 12 May 2012 06:44

There is absolutely nothing that gets me pissed off more, or faster than unnecessary war. No tolerance for it, what so ever.

 
98   POSTED: 12 May 2012 08:07

I don't usually get involved in fights, but when I do, I make sure I have stylin' music playing.

And when I get pissed,

Good luck.

(I could go on forever here...)

 
99   POSTED: 12 May 2012 08:18

This will do nicely:

Music begins playing after the beast within takes control.

 
100   POSTED: 12 May 2012 08:36

This makes me want to kick things in the face and generally be awesome.

102   POSTED: 12 May 2012 08:44

Nothing less than this piece of epicness.

It goes with everything, in case you didn't get the memo.

 
103   POSTED: 12 May 2012 08:51

I would have to go with this

It just reeks of boss music. As long as I start my insanely long ultra attack at around the 2:50 mark I'm good.

Same concept, but results in different music. This music is to show how you are unstoppable, or at least going to be a bitch to take down. In that thread, your music will be to go against insurmountable odds to win. This would not be appropriate here, but would be in that thread for example:

Never played birth by sleep so wouldn't have heard them.
Goddamnit why does kingdom hearts have to release on every console :/
