Best LP Boss Character 2021

Post by ano0maly »

The opposite of the protagonist thread. An antagonist or some other boss that had a good boss fight or was a good boss-type character.

out of all the antagonists this year, Sabu is certainly the Most Boss-Type of All

Recency bias here, but I'm giving my vote to one of the last bosses raocow fought in 2021, Tramious Todenburg in SUMMONED.

I'm going to vote Evil Pete (Black Doom), not because of any of the boss fights or even for the in-game character.

Rather, I'm voting for him on the basis that he is by far the most memorable antagonist of the year, solely due to the way raocow reacted to him throughout the Shadow LP. It's like in some way, he was an antagonist for raocow, whose goal was to make him enjoy the game less, and that dynamic was a big part of the LP.

I don't know if this is exactly in the spirit of the award, but it's the basis for my vote.

Yes, I was just about to vote for Evil Pete as well. Shadow's clingy-ass father that gets no respect.

Also I still think his design is cool. n~yoron

I was going to say Tramious, and Sabu's got serious chops too, but I know in my heart it's gotta be Evil Pete. That character was the gift that kept on giving: his stupidity in the game, interplay with raocow, and excellent memeability.

As far as boss battles go, Ripto from Spyro 2 was cool. Multiple phases and having the majority of the fight being about powerups utilized by both Spyro and Ripto led to a variety of neat attacks.

As a character, I've seen differing views about him: some people see his plotline as just silliness, but for others he is the favorite antagonist in the trilogy. Even if it's the case that the story could have made him feel more of a threat (maybe the game could have not excised the parts that describe how he influenced Avalar), the final battle had a vibe of an immersive climax. At least the bosses in this game were a step up from the predecessor.
