Hello everyone, and welcome back to Best of the Trope!
Here are the rules. Each day, I will post a trope from TV Tropes, and each poster can name up to three examples of that trope. Whichever nomination gets the most mentions wins! Posters may also name as many Honourable Mentions as they like, but they are purely optional and will not count towards the running score. You may look at the TV Tropes page for that day's trope for examples, but you do not have to pick all your examples from the page. You can nominate whatever examples you like, as long as they qualify for the trope. Each trope will last around 24 hours before the next one goes up. Posters may also nominate any tropes they wish to see come up during the series. This is optional, and you don't have to do it every day, or at all. Tropes will be randomly selected from the list each day, except for some occasions where I will pick a thematically appropriate trope that may or may not be on the list. Here's the list of previous tropes, so if you wish to nominate some tropes, check on here that it wasn't previously done. http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Best_of_the_Trope Trope List: Launcher of a Thousand Ships One True Love Disc-One Nuke Beef Gate Lampshade Hanging Difficult, but Awesome Tier-Induced Scrappy That One Level Breather Level Game-Breaker Broken Base Cliffhanger Cruel and Unusual Death Evil Cripple Squishy Wizard Magic Knight Big Bad Friend Torch the Franchise and Run Lights Off, Somebody Dies Grand Finale ...

Today's trope is Breather Boss. Here is the link: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BreatherBoss
There are some bosses in gaming that are more difficult than the creators expect...and then there's this guy. He's not quite pathetic enough to go down in one hit from any old attack, and there's no story significance to him being easy, or indeed, any story significance to him at all. In fact, the developers expected people to actually find said character a challenging opponent in some way, but failed. This is the Breather Boss, the boss enemy that lacks any semblance of challenge or plot importance. They may just have had a predictable and easy-to-exploit weakness, or they may just be easy due to attack pattern. Nevertheless, they are easy and weak. Simple as that. TL,DR: This boss is particularly easy in comparison to the other bosses in the game. Nominations: Janine (Pokemon Gold Silver and Crystal) Palmer (Final Fantasy VII) Gaping Dragon (Dark Souls) ...

Bloody Malth (Ninja Gaiden)
The guy in the intro, the whole plot has been leading toward your revenge against him and... you hold right and mash B and kill him every time. To be fair, most of the game's bosses until then are easy even without spin attack abuse, and it's hard to actually dodge his attacks if you insist on doing so, but he's barely a speedbump on the way to the dreaded 6-2. --- "God Hand is the ultimate expression of the joy of humanity, specifically the punching part of the joy of humanity."-Shigeru Miyamoto ...

I was thinking Palmer, but after reading the description I think he doesn't count. He has at least some plot significance and more importantly I'm pretty sure he is exactly as easy as intended.

Yeah, Palmer has plot significance. He's more of a joke boss. (not sure if Joke Boss is a trope) Edit: Palmer is also listed under Anti Climax Boss, which I think better applies to him
I second "anything you can kill with a Phoenix down" in the final fantasy series. --- Don't mess with a Bunny! ... Copied to Clipboard!
