10 Impossible Video Game Sub-Bosses That Stopped You DEAD

10. Kintaro - Mortal Kombat II

If you thought Goro was difficult in the original Mortal Kombat, wait until you face the penultimate of the sequel. Before going head-to-head with Shao Kahn, you must face his champion; the four-armed Shokan warrior, Kintaro.

This tiger-skinned monstrosity only takes half-damage, has an immunity to certain attacks, and is strong enough to kill you in four moves. He almost never stops moving, so you're always on your toes.

The most vexing thing about Kintaro is his tendency to leap offscreen and then drop down on top of you. Not only does this teleport stomp make mincemeat of your health bar, it's the only attack in the game that's unblockable.

If you're playing the Super Nintendo version of MKII, you only get a measly five credits. Even if you don't lose a single life before facing Kintaro, you only have five tries to beat him or you have to go back to the start.

The only saving grace is Kintaro regularly taunts you throughout the battle, which is the perfect opportunity to attack him. If he didn't take time to gloat, he would be borderline impossible to defeat.
