There are few scenarios that leave gamers quaking in their boots more than going head-to-head with Shin Bison in Street Fighter Alpha 3.

Shin Bison is an amped up version of his regular counterpart, meaning he's faster, stronger, and tougher than usual. On top of that, his Psychocrusher attack takes up the entire screen, eating up half of his opponent's health bar.

But what makes this battle so infamous is the fact Bison MUST be beaten first try in Arcade Mode. If the Psychopowered dictator triumphs, the player is sent back to the start.

Even though FromSoftware titles are renowned for their arduous difficulty, at least these IPs gives gamers the chance to fight bosses repeatedly in rapid succession, so they quickly learn from their mistakes and adjust their strategy accordingly.

Because Bison doesn't give the player this opportunity, it takes ages to defeat him, even once. And if you're a completionist who intends to beat Bison with every character, you're in for a world of hurt.

Bison, we know you're an egotistical tyrant set on world domination, but could you give your enemies a chance?
