10 Video Game Bosses That Are Almost IMPOSSIBLE To Beat

8. Jinpachi - Tekken 5

Dark Souls 2
Namco Bandai

Most Tekken games conclude with a showdown with a member of the Mishima family. Ironically, the nicest Mishima, Jinpachi, is the most nightmarish of the bunch. Despite being a kind-hearted man, Jinpachi turned evil after being corrupted by a dark spirit.

Because Jinpachi is not in control of his actions, you feel bad when confronting him in Tekken 5. But within seconds, you'll hate this guy more than anything.

Although Tekken is no stranger to tough bosses, Jinpachi is the only one who cheats. This astoundingly bearded villain performs spam attacks, uninterruptible combos, and insta-kills. Before you're back on your feet, the muscular Santa pummels you again, forcing you to spend most of the brawl on the floor.

Even if you hit Jinpachi with a combo, your rival can interrupt it whenever he wants, stunning you into submission.

You can't keep your distance since Jinpachi can use Astral Projection to propel himself forward. No matter how far away you are, you can be at Jinpachi's mercy in a second.

Also, if you're one of those gamers who completes beat 'em ups with every character, you might want to reconsider for Tekken 5. Although you should emerge triumphant against Jinpachi a couple of times, trying to fight him with all 32 combatants will drive you crazy.
