ITT: bosses that could have easily wrecked you numerous times in the game but didn't for stupid reasons

...

Superiority complex, man. In the beginning, you're "not worth their time/effort."

...

Every single boss in Resident Evil 4

Ghirahim was fighting full strength in every battle. He only increases in power because Demise was growing closer to release and they're synched. He tells you as much, "I am a demon lord, a weapon without fault, and yet, you continue to prevail.... Boy, what are you?"

Did your mind just get blown?
Be honest OP.

Almost every fucking boss out there.

On Metroids case It amazes me that Samus can even touch Dark samus. She should have been SA-X but on a few tons of speed.

She were nearly a god with her resilience, being able to posses people, clones, all on top of Phazon strengthen abilities. Samus were fucking dying slowly and obviously painfully and still mopped the thing.

You're pretty good user

Bad example, actually. When you beat him the first time in Skyview you can tell he's pretty worn out. He's just dropping the "not worth my time" line to cover his ass because he's a sore loser.

Every time you beat Ghirahim you actually beat the shit out of him.

yeah, cause Samus is essentially space batman

He couldn't have done anything without blowing up his cover and he wasn't sure if he could go back from the TV World.
The only thing stupid he did was hiding from the IT when they had their suspicions on him, there was no way they could prove he was the culprit even after his tongue slipped during their confrontation and nobody would believe a bunch of teenagers speaking about Personas and Shadows.

>In the beginning, you're "not worth their time/effort."

That counts as a stupid reason because it's so overdone. Especially in RPGs where the power difference is so great even the smallest attack would be enough to kill the underleveled hero.

...

It would have been extremely easy to just wait at the Junes TV entrance, jump in when they do, and kill them in a surprise attack while they're busy fighting one of the many extremely powerful shadows. He saw them enter and leave the TV plenty of times, so it's not like he didn't know you could just use a TV inside as an exit.

Arthas was the king of this.
>B-But it was his plan! He was going to resurrect us as his super elite army!
Yet his plan didn't work, so he failed like a jackass when he could've just killed us off one by one in the dozen or so times he popped up to mug at us during the questing experience.

Wow that image is fucking stupid

Even if he did take them by surprise, it would have still been 1 on 2 to 7 depending on when he strikes, and beside he never went into the TV so he probably wasn't fully aware of personas at the time.

>Villain knows there is a prophesy about the chosen one beating him
>Finds the chosen one
>Destroys his village, fights him but doesn't kill him because """he's not worth the time/effort""" even though the villain just expended all of this time/effort destroying the village
>Villain is somehow surprised when the prophesy is true and the chosen one kills him

...

Well yeah, but Res 4 is an action movie.

...

How does Chakravartin lose to base form asura

This pic triggers my warnings.

>Asura gets more powerful the more angry he gets
>Asura is infinitely angry right now
>Asura is infinitely powerful, even in base form

Like every time Sephiroth appears.

Granted Cloud is a little ninny for 90% of the game and the last fight is literally against his own sanity.

Too bad it still holds true in reality.

Every time sephiroth appears in 7 its a jenova clone, not the real him. The real him is in the northern crator.

"We've knocked Geralt unconscious, we'd better run before he wakes up!"

what a shitty antagonist

>didn't for stupid reasons
He didn't have stupid reasons, papyrus just wasn't evil or an asshole and just wanted friends.

If anything he just has stupid reasons for wanting to hurt you, not for sparing you.

It's the real him during the Nibelheim Incident flashback.

Thats the only time you see the real him outside the northern crater and the final boss fight.

This fucking bitch just refused to finish the job.

>the villain has a reason to keep you alive
>a stupid reason, usually involving sentimentality, but a reason nonetheless
What games do this? Trails at least makes a token attempt at it.
>the villain is gay for your father and wouldn't hurt his kids
>the villain is autistic and is specifically trying to kill you in the most emotionally crippling way possible
>the villain needs your party as a cover
>the real villain is at least nominally on your side
