The Rock at the end of WWE 2K14. The match is supposed to match up with the real match at Wrestlemania 29, so at the end both you and the Rock automatically get infinite finishers, and you're supposed reverse his finisher twice before you hit yours. So not only do you have to get the timing right to reverse his finisher once, you have to do it again after he reverses your finiser.

But luckily if you do it right you the ultimate reward: all of John Cena's colored shirts

The big boss that jumps up and down to create a shockwave that you have to jump over.

The boss that is invincible 99% of the time until you do some tedious bullshit to make them vulnerable. Alternatively the boss that is only weak to one thing and if you don't have that thing you're hosed.

The boss that you are supposed to lose to and will lose to in the story even if you defeat them.

The boss that spams status conditions.

The boss that has a ton of health and you have a time limit to defeat them.

Slight variation on this one. A boss that you are supposed to lose to but wasn't made overwhelmingly strong, just unlimited health, so you spend a lot of time, energy and items before letting the boss kill you.

any boss that gets invincibility frames when you hit them so you can't kill them quickly

any boss that makes you wait before you can hit their weak spot or some poo poo (worst offender, arkham asylum's poison ivy fight)

Arkham boss fight from DMC3, definitely. Vergil coming in to steal your style button for babysitting his AI doesn't even really need is pretty loving weak

Also the boss fight itself is long and boring and Arkham's boss design sucks too. He doesn't really personify the power of Sparda so much as he does the power of Sparda's bowel movements

Basically any boss that has too much HP because more HP is not a substitute for an actual challenge, it's just a test of how many healing items you have. Most multiform bosses are also this.
