Post (in your opinions) the most challenging boss fights you've come across in gaming.
I'll start.
Touhou 6 - Sakuya Izayoi
Stage 5 boss. The stage itself is grueling, and has tricky patterns coming from the cannon fodder fairies, but at the very end, there's a boss that throws knives and FREEZES TIME. If you get too close, she can freeze time without warning and end up with a face full of knives instantly. Her danmaku can also be a real bitch to dodge.
Sonic 2 - Metal Robotnik
Ok, not only do you start the stage with ZERO RINGS, but you also have to go against metal sonic, who isn't very hard, but it's the fact that he can 1 hit you. If you manage to beat metal sonic, you chase after robotnik, who somehow manages to run faster than you. He then jumps into his gundam mech suit and then pwns you, hard.
Pokemon Red/Blue - Misty (if you chose charmander)
I really don't know what to say here. Starmie used bubblebeam! It's super effective! A critical hit! You die instantly. Even if it isn't charmander that starmie is using bubblebeam on, it always 1 hit kills. I always rely on crits when going against Misty, because there's really nothing else I can do, even if I have a pikachu.
Bomberman Generation - Bomber Elite
I really struggled with this boss when I first fought it. The attacks are so hard to dodge, and the window of opportunity for you to do damage while avoiding damage is very low. Not to mention his "panic" attack is brutal if you don't know how to dodge it.
