I’m ng+110 on one character but have other characters that’s ng+7 also rl1 characters

i know my top 3 is highly controversial but the rest should be pretty agreeable i think?

first off,is any boss that is in my top3 in ur top10? i am curious.

something to note is that I am a huge soundtrack guy,so its probably the second biggest criteria for my ranking of bosses after moveset and rhythm.Lore is probably the weakest factor for my ranking of bosses.

my top5 are all flawed bosses but there is a threshold of peak for me that if a boss exceeds i can forgive all their flaws cuz of how fun the fight is, imo dancing lion is a prime example of this,it has a garbage arena with that stupid staircase that ruins punishes and those small rocks on the ground,lightning breath when it does it at point blank is annoying and ice tail flip is borderline unfair but it is a very rare move that u will barely see,but despite all of that the fight is really fun.

Note that my opinion fluctuates every now and then depending on when i last replayed each game and how much i fought a certain boss,which undoubtedly makes them go higher and lastly elden ring and nightreign are exclusively what i have been playing for the past 1.3k hrs,so there is some recency bias without a doubt,for example if you asked me 9months ago,gael would have been number 1 without a question.

Edit:this is from 1 to 10,I forgot to mention.

How do you feel about this kind of win? LMAO

What are your top fights and why? Here are a few that have stuck with me throughout the years - I like wild, thematic visually interesting fights. Let's hear em!

Genichiro - Amazingly balanced, tough as nails 3 PHASE fight with an amazing third phase. The first time I fought him, I was so relieved when phase two ended and my heart sunk when I heard the lightning lol. One of the most memorable in the game.

Twin Princes - Used to go out of my way to help others with this fight. Amazing all around

Ludwig - Easily my favorite OST in the series. Tragic figure, awesome transition into phase two. Wild, erratic and tough.

Gehrman - Melancholy atmosphere, most emotional fight on here, GOATED OST and atmosphere. Amazing.

Romina, Saint of the Bud - honestly felt like one of the most fair fights in the DLC. Loved the design and the theme, had a hard time, but felt like a classic FromSoft boss without the arguably over the top "difficulty" SOE is known for.

Messmer - Wild. Hard. Fun as hell. One of those fights where I keep yelling that it's bullshit, and when it was over I was like "wow that was awesome"
