The Smash Bros. Boss Design Tier List + New Boss Concepts! - Design Dorks Episode #9

While not as varied as its character roster, Smash Brothers has still had quite a few bosses over the years, everything from sentient gloves to weird OCs (Do not steal) to a few awesome guest stars! But how well are these boss battles designed? Do they fulfill the traditional roles that boss battles are supposed to in video games? Testing player's skills, pushing their limits, teaching new techniques through their fights? How well do they embrace the crossover element of Smash, were their fights properly translated into a platform fighter? And wtf even is Duon?! All of these questions will be discussed at length, after which we brainstorm a few potential bosses of our own! 0:00 - Intro 5:49 - Master Hand 13:58 - Crazy Hand 18:45 - Giga Bowser 24:59 - Petey Piranha 29:36 - Rayquaza 36:25 - Porky 41:50 - Galleom 46:26 - Ridley 50:22 - Duon 54:57 - Meta Ridley 59:54 - Tabuu 1:05:57 - Master Core 1:10:55 - Galeem 1:16:22 - Dharkon 1:21:40 - Rathalos 1:25:53 - Ganon 1:30:07 - Dracula 1:35:03 - Marx 1:43:59 - Tier List Complete 1:44:24 - Brainstorming New Bosses! 2:12:19 - Outro Go check out Designing For!    / @designingfor   And follow Pyyr on Twitter while you're at it!   / pyrrhickong   If you like this content, consider joining the channel:    / @theponderingpeasant
