When bosses go bad: The worst video-game bosses of all time

We stick the boot into gaming’s worst bosses; from the laughably limp to unfairly hard.

Jinpachi Mishima — Tekken 5 (Namco, PlayStation 2, 2005)



Beat 'em up bosses are notorious for being big fat cheats, but Tekken 5’s Jinpachi Mishima is truly in a class of his own. The old geezer exploits every cheap trick in the book to snatch victory from your grasp, time and time again. Unless you get in quick with some well-timed combos, his unblockable barrage of attacks will make mincemeat of you in seconds. Our brutal showdowns with Jinpachi Mishima left us bleeding from every orifice, including our ears (courtesy of the wailing J-rock soundtrack). To this day, we still feel violated, and we pray daily for his removal from Tekken 6.

Jinpachi Mishima, we hate you like the Devil himself.
