I was wondering what my greatest gaming achievements were when i was close to blowing my brains out in my work earlier and i think i've only come up with 2:
1) Beating Seth in Street Fighter 4. I know what you're thinking - he's just the guy at the end of Street Fighter 4, what's so fantastic about beating him. I say this to you then fool - have you ever fought him? He's ridiculous. An amalgamation of all the characters skills and moves, he basically teleports around the screen laughing maniacally at your ever increasing rage and firing Sonic Booms at you until you jump and then he hits you with a Dragon Punch. The first time i fought him i actually almost perfected him with Vega but alas things went dramatically down-hill from there.
Seth actually had no friends as he was growing up. All the kids in the playground used to call him names on account of him being a cheap asshole.
The real challenge in fighting Seth is in not propelling your pad across the room after he's just used the same move repeatedly to beat you for the 9th time in a row. Street Fighter 4 - good game, messed up final boss.
2) Defeating the Immortal in Lost Odyssey. This took ages and probably wasn't worth the time i invested into it but it's still something i'm proud of to this day. After trading blows with him for ages it was one of those do or die moments that you sometimes get in gaming where i had no health left and he was also on his last legs. My heart was in my throat as i'd pretty much resigned myself to him beating me but kept on regardless and then lo and behold he just died. It was amazing.
Looking back now i don't remember getting anything good for it but i felt a sense of achievement and thought my party to be pretty solid - until i got the DLC, descended all the way to the bottom of the secret lab and got my RPG ass handed to me on a plate by Professor K.
I searched Google for a picture of him but there are none. Actually i found one but it was tiny, i assume the guy just managed to fumble with his camera before Professor K killed him.
If you follow the link below however you'll see that apparently it's possible to defeat him in 3 turns which is a little embarrassing for me:
