This is a topic dedicated to the most annoying of boss fights in RPGs. Its a revival of the topic Erdawn posted a long time ago in the gunjin, which seemed (accurately) out of place. Here we go:

SEPHIROTH IN ANY FORM (Listed here in Kingdom Hearts and KH2 forms)

Well, this is a given. There is an easy way to beat him (Level 75-99 can tear him up in no time.), but he is VERY difficult in hard mode, and at level 67 (Yeah, I'm foolhardy), he ain't a pushover. In both games, I took the hard67 challenge, a little challenge I made myself. It used to be hard50, but why would I take a risk THAT stupid? Feh. At any rate, he is a boss that all of the major 'sources' recommend a 70 plus level for, and yeah, that sure as rain is useful. He takes a high level of reflex, and a concentration on patience and memory (Memorizing his pattern makes it WAY easier to defeat him). Upon learning how to make him attack unwillingly, and learning exactly when he was going to summon almighty satanic evil fire from the heavens, and learning the glidy meteor avoiding technique, Sephiroth became a very weak opponent. But that was in normal mode. I ventured to take him on with the Lionheart or Oblivion keychains, because of their capabilities, and do this all in Hard Mode. I used a number of double combo, double finisher, and dodging techniques, and all of the aerial techniques, in both cases. The Nightmare Before Christmas keychain was my favorite, even though its name escaped me.

ANY way....

He killed me. 35 times in a row. I drank several energy drinks, pepsis, and a few other soft drinks, and laughed, cried, fumed, flipped off the TV, and kicked a leg off of a chair, thus knocking the chair over onto my video games. Goodbye, older copy of Pikmin. I eventually took him down, in KH1.

KH2 was a bit more consuming. He actually taunted me. He angered me. He made me look foolish. 54 times in one night. Cursed Sephiroth...

I had to level up in tiers, going from level 50 to level 55 to level 57 to level 60 to level 67. I had so much of a pea built up at the end of my Sephiroth slaying night that I fell into a mild coma one hour afterwards. Still, it was challenging, and cool. Even if that punk Sephiroth did nothing over his SHAMEFUL defeat other than wipe off his shoulder and tell me to bring Cloud. Ass****...

Good times.

GOOD times...
