17 Secret Video Game Bosses You Need To Beat Before You Die

8. Ultra Street Fighter IV - Oni

How you get there: Are you ready to experience complete and utter despair? Your mind might say yes, but your hands will never be ready. In order to even have a chance at fighting Oni, you have to do the following.

First of all, you can't lose one single match on your way to encountering the 100% evil version of Akuma. Then, you have to get two perfect wins (i.e. you can't take any damage), end five matches with super or ultra finishers, get the first hit of ten separate matches AND defeat Seth with a super or ultra. Yeah, good luck with that.

Why you need to beat them: If, by some bizarre miracle, you actually make it to Oni, don't expect him to be balanced in any way. At all. This incarnation of the character is nothing like the playable version: he has faster attack speeds, less recovery time and does more damage.

If you achieve the impossible and beat the intentionally unfair demon, congratulations - you've achieved a feat to be proud of.
