10 Unfair Boss Fights Designed To Piss You Off

1. Shao Kahn (Mortal Kombat Series)

No matter which iteration of Mortal Kombat you choose to play, there's one thing that's always going to be the same and that's that Shao Kahn is an absolute nightmare.

Known for being disgustingly cheap, he can completely wreck you in just a few hits if you're not careful. His special attacks can easily break your guard and the speed at which he can chain them together is downright terrifying. He also has a tendency to stun-lock you, leaving you wide open to a pummelling.

His pool of moves is limited, but each one can inflict horrific damage and his relative speed gives you very little room to breathe. Players often have to resort to using cheap tactics in order to best him, such as spamming moves or exploiting his few openings just to stand a chance .

Kahn also likes to compliment his overpowered moveset by spitting vicious insults and taunts at you every few seconds. Not only will he grind your face into the floor, but he'll openly mock you whilst doing it too!

Few video game bosses inspire as much hatred and ire as Shao Kahn, but deep down that's why we love to fight him.
