It's not the most epic battle ever. But among JRPGs, there's one battle I won't easily forget.

And that's Nyx Avatar from Persona 3. A 13 phase boss fight that escalates in awesomeness as the fight goes on. The first twelve phases are rough, but nothing to cry about.

Then Phase 13 happens. Suddenly, he's kicking your ass, having almost 3x as much health as before. At 50% health, he now has a skill that allows him to counter your attacks. Then 25%. Motherfuckin' Night Queen. QED.

Your party is pretty much nearly wiped out.

The key reason this fight is memorable to me is because the most awesomely-titled BGM ever was playing.

But I feel that he's not epic enough to be that memorable. You won't see me talking about him for the rest of my life, for sure.

Senator Armstrong, however, I'll gladly talk about forever. Specifically, his DLC Jetstream Sam version.

So Armstrong is a tough as balls boss already in the vanilla game. Then he gets a colossal buff when you fight him in the DLC. Reason? HOMING SHOULDER TACKLE.

He generally has the same pattern. Flaming pillars of doom, homing ground pound explosion, full-area ground pound etc..

Then you get him down to 50% health and he starts jedi-chucking helicopters and military vehicles at you because he's apparently Magneto now.

Get him down to 25% health and he goes berserk. (Higher difficulties are fun. Because he goes berserk in 50% instead. The highest difficulty? Berserk at 100%)

All in all, brutally painful fight. But so so so so rewarding to kick the Senator's ass with the coolest non-cyborg in the entire game.

But if you really want the true Senator experience, you will taunt him. In Very Hard.

Here's a bunch of scrublords getting hyped about him.
