dat laugh

Wallmasters are the worst in the series.

>>432830

>>432838
I just had a panic attack!

Every opponent in Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo.

I consider myself at least halfway decent at 2d fighters, but this game just rapes, and rapes, and rapes, and rapes my tattered anus until I've bled out, and then goes in dry for another couple rounds. Even on the easiest setting, I don't know what the fuck is with that game.

>>432838
You can press 'f' to go faster and escape the yeti.

>>432760
God damn, I'm actually surprised others hated these fuckers as much as I did.

>>432760
>>432838

I never got why people found Phanto to be scary or frustrating. I mean he stops chasing you when you drop the key.

>>432865
are you fucking around right now?!

Yes I was a huge pussy, and yes I still am.

>Playing Ocarina of Time when it's still new
>About eleven years old at the time
>See first Skulltula and it spooks me
>Reassure myself that something like that won't pop out and get me IRL
>A little while passes
>Suddenly, my older sister unlocks my door, bursts in to the room and throws a huge banana spider on me for no reason
>She did that without knowing about the Skulltulas at all, or even knowing that I was playing a game with spiders in it

That's what I get for relaxing and feeling safe. The universe likes to arrange little things like that to happen when I stop feeling anxious for more than a minute.

>>432894
Jesus christ!

>>432871
Its true, but if he comes from the front you are still fucked.

>>432894
>Throws a spider at you
WHO THE FUCK DOES THAT?

He will end you.

>>433284

>>432683
There's a part in the Shadow Temple where you can't see them until they clip through the ceiling at you. Fucking scariest part of the game for me bar none. I fucking hate spiders and I walked very slowly through that corridor.

First time I ran through there I'm pretty sure I took a few years off of my life.

>>432780
Scarier version.

>>433546
>not being patient

He will swoop down to your level and wind up behind you, then restart his movement towards you. That's when you turn around, crouch, and swipe it at him.

Now if you had no choice but to keep moving, well, hope you have 20 power and the fire shield spell.

>>433546
Duck and swing, yo. They're only a pain if you're standing right where they infinitely spawn.

Fucking 6-2...

>>432858
Sounds like you aren't as decent as you think you are. Try Art of Fighting 2 sometime and tell me how your butt feels after that.

my nightmare

>>432894
what why would you even!? can't those things kill you?

>>432827
scared tha fuck outta me the first time i sawr it

IF ANY OF YOU HAVE PLAYED KINGSFIELD...

YOU MUST UNDERSTAND THIS FEAR

>>433638
And everyone thought the same thing when they saw it.
>Oh a piano! I wonder if Mario can playOHFUCKOHSHITOHFUCKOHSHIT!

What really creeped me out in OoT were actually those rocks in the water temple that turned into spikes. it was weird how they chased you, as if they were alive

Giant Cheep Cheep scared me when I was a kid. Just the fact he ate Mario/Luigi whole.

Also not an enemy, but the room before Bowser in SMW that is dark except for that disco-ball light. That room freaked me out because it's the only place (I'm pretty sure?) it is present in the game.

The Spider boss "Dancing Insector" from Star Fox was scary and intense when it would extend it's "legs" and start spinning real close to you trying to hit the Arwing. It just felt so close like it would come through the screen or something.

A lot of the shit I was afraid of wasn't really supposed to be scary so much as they surprised me.

>>433737
>Giant Cheep Cheep scared me when I was a kid. Just the fact he ate Mario/Luigi whole.
Remember the giant fish in Tiny Huge Island in SM64?

>>433737
Holy crap, yes. Big Bertha was the worst damn thing I remember about SMB3.

>>433746
Not that guy, but I remember freaking out when I first saw it. And there were two of them.

dat king dedede battle

>>433779
Kirby games tend to have weird ass final bosses.

>>433746

Yes I do. That freaked me out worse because it's so surreal. No death animation like usual, it just eats you, swims away, and you're left looking at whatever piece of water + background until finally the Bowser laugh + transition sets you free.

>>433653
And to think every other game that had featured a piano up until that point had the protagonist play a cutesy melody of the title screen or some shit.

Damn, Mario's fuckin' hardcore.

>>433763
Nowhere near as the Big Berthas in Happy Time Circus 2..

>>433763
Big Bertha just swam back and forth and spat little fish at you. Boss Bass was the one who never stopped chasing you even if you killed him.

>>433819
>[object Object]
Which wad is that from? If I recall, that's actually a screamer.

>>433834
Er, it's Happy Time Circus 2.
It's not a screamer, it's actually a really fucking good and very fleshed-out wad.

Now that I think about it, most enemies in that game qualify as NOPE material already.

These guys

> that roar
> that ripping sound
> that death animation

Fucking Sinistar. Sometimes I would be so scared when he came I would just turn off the game and cry.

Also, that horrible miniboss in the well in OoT, just the way the hands grabbed you and you were totally helpless while that horror slowly made his way over to you. I had nightmares about it for a long time, and it still freaks me out.

>>434394

>those trousers

>>434394
>not wanting to be sandwiched between a pair of sweaty hunks of demon muscle

I shiggitydiggitydoodledoo

>>433632

Golden orb-weavers? Heh, not even close. These motherfuckers, however...

Ecco was pretty fucking creepy for what it seemed like.
This is still NOTHING compared to the Vortex Queen and Welcome to the Machine

>>434573
It didn't help that Ecco screamed like a frantic banshee every time he got hit.

I have a personal hatred of the crabs in the game because they looked like giant spiders and they'd just home in on you and rape you to death.

"Ahhhhh, Fresh meat!"

>>433593

only NOPE I need

>>432740
God, I fucking hate those stupid Chucky dolls so much. They always scared the shit out of me.

You could set 'em on fire, and they'd still run after you!

>>434718

<- These fucking things were fear itself
on the N64 port

also fuck vores

>>434573
Don't forget Tubes of Medusa.

I never realized I had a fear of heights before that stage. Although I WAS painfully aware of my fear of jellyfish.

>>436227
THIS

>>432773
This. If you're scared of Redeads and Skulltulas you haven't played Ocarina or Majora. That noise it makes when it approaches you is a nightmare. I couldn't progress through it without sound until I was 17. This genuinely scared me.

>>436416
I used to be afraid of Wallmasters, but I got over it once I figured out how to avoid them.

>>434553
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atrax_robustus
Sidney funnel web.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_funnel-web_spider
And this one. There are four types apparently.

Apparently anti-venom has ceased the fatality rate from this type of spider.

>>432827
CLANK CLANK CLANK

>>436416
>tfw you discover that you can reset their attack by pressing C-Up and looking at them before they fall on you
fear no more!

These bastrds scared the shit of me in a game where you command a fucking warband.

Their only problem is that you remember their positions almost exactly after 1-2 playthroughs.

>>433606
>>433596
>not just running by and letting them despawn from flying off screen

Standing still will get you killed in Ninja Gaiden, you should always be moving forward.

>>437179
I think problem is much more basic, possibly the fact that they're fucking easy to see. And that a few shots kills them anyway.

>>437239
Some of them are hidden pretty deviously behind corners on low ceilings though, which gives you about a second of warning time.

this.

Surprised no one posted this one yet.

>>433546


As soon as I looked at that bird I swear to god I heard the failure song.

This thing's huge, and Keen swims agonizingly slowly.

>>433546

>>437539
dopefish lives

>>433775
Good god I don't remember that. What is it?

Electric Eels
Sharks
Hammerfishes
Suicide Robots
Massive Wheels
And Rubber Ducks.

Guess which one will kick your ass over and over?

Nevermind me, just owning the thread.

>>432690
The thing I liked with the ReDeads in OoT was that if you walked very slowly you could just go past them, and even stand in front of them and look them in their face with the camera without getting attacked.
And how they moved to the other ReDead you killed to sit by its corpse as if they were mourning its death.
But they still make me slightly uncomfortable.

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

>>432780
I blame this guy for my fear of deep waters.

>>432858
that whole game always and has and still does give me a horrible feeling and i have no idea what it is. I can't actually play it without feeling physically sick.

I can't be the only one surely?

Fucking endless nightmares. I even got chills seeing him in Crisis Core

>>434946
Sup bro

>>437638
I thought they were eating the corpse.

I AM SINISTAR

Fuck

>>437881
>sit inside the half-built Sinistar
>shoot out through the one missing piece
ehhhhehehehe

>>437482
Seahats were worse.

Especially on stormy nights, when you could only see their shapes hovering in the distance. Lit up suddenly for the barest second by a flash of lightning.

>>433591
Oh my god this.

I checked the room with the lens of truth the first time and didn't see anything, so I bolted through. First one came down and hit me, and I quickly turned off the game. It's a good thing I didn't have to go to the bathroom because I'm pretty sure I would have shit my pants.

>>439541

It appears one of your characters doesn't swallow.

>>439493

Oh fuck man I know exactly what your talking about

too bad there dispatched easily, zelda games have a bad habit of making big ass enemies piss easy.

>>434450

Now with musical accompaniment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jq_xj5lXmO0

>>434607
>tfw it eats 3 mammoth tanks

>>437503
The only thing I hated about that game.

>>440012
>2 AM
>UAAAGH UOOOGH *THUMP THUMP THUMP*
On a lighter note, I'm just got past this spot on my current playthrough.

>>436416
Didn't redeads only appear in Ocarina and Majora?

>>442246
They are in WW, but they look different.

>>442246
Redeads are in Wind Waker with a louder scream and they're sort of in Twilight Princess.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

>>432827
>Meanwhile, at Nintendo of America headquarters...

>"Okay, bring in the tester."
>One of the developers leads their nine-ish old child into the room by their hand and seats the child in front of a single tv screen.
>The child has played some of the previous levels and bounces with excitement at the prospect of continuing mario's adventure before any of his friends even buy the game
>The game is already turned on. A piano sits conspicuously in the middle of the room and the child directs mario towards it. The better half of the entire dev team watches in silence. Even the hardest working devs peek over their cubicles at the scene unfolding.
>BANG BANG BANG BANG
>The child shrieks in abject terror and throws the controller down to cower with his back to the corner of the room, the entire floor explodes into raucous laughter and celebration that carries over the endless expanse of cubicles
>high fives, chest bumps, bro fists and (manly) hugs are had
>WOOOOOOOOO!
>Tears stream down the child's face as he watches as mario repeatedly recovers from his brief invincibility period and desperately tries to get back up only to be knocked back down and crushed in the monstrosity's razor-sharp maw

>>442829
More companies should try to horrify children in games you wouldn't expect. It makes for much more memorable games.

Do bosses count?

>>432894

I've always deeply feared someone doing that to me, but I always put the possibility that someone could be that cruel out of my mind.

>>434946
>>437858
Now I remember these bastards. Damn exploding tarballs.

>>442930
You're going to laugh but

Those fucking monkeys terrified me when I played the game. They start off sounding like they're in grief, but if they hear you they become ENRAGED. It was also the first enemy that had any kind of ranged attack (as far as I can remember) which freaked my shit out.

>>442878
Agreed. Maybe I didn't always feel that way then, but in retrospect being scared by games was a part of the fun! I wouldn't want to deprive this generation of that. I wish I could feel the same kind of fear I felt as a kid, but now I don't even have good nightmares. It SUCKS.

>>432865
> Escape the blue shell

>>442940

Do do do do dun na NAHHHH NAH NAH nAh NAh NAH NAH DUN NAH NAH

Awesome song for a pretty nice boss fight.

>>432894

I JUST WANTED TO PLAY A GAME ABOUT SPIDER-MAN

>>443031
Everyone's been eaten alive by this motherfucker on their first playthrough.

>>437663
You could just splash them with a kick.

>not this guy
>why

>>443146
Oh please, he can't even steal lives

>>443123
Wait, those things are supposed to look all techie? I always thought they were just on fire.

>>443123
Because he's fucking simple. Lowish health, easy to avoid primary attack, and given those is simple to keep from regenerating too many enemies.

>>432894

>Grow up in Florida
>Run cross country in high school
>Have to run through this half mile loop through woods near beach
>Banana spiders everywhere
>"Anon, you're tallest, you take the lead and clear out the spiders"
>Run so fast, so very very fast. Spiders in my hair, body, face

:(

Living in the mountains is so much nicer.

>>443146
This fucker in Donkey Kong Land 3.
The monocrome graphics and the small resolution made his face kinda of hard to make out.
It seemed almost like an old man's face when I was a kid.

Shadows of the Empire really creeped the shit out of me.

These sewer monsters were fucked up.

>>443291

>>443298
This guy in cave.

>>443314
Or his friend coming to get you from a long, narrow hallway.

>>443176
That's clearly not the original sprite. Probably just someone's interpretation.

Their torso might be techie though. Looks like vacuum tubing or something.

>>443337
This boss - you never knew where he was in that room and he would just pop out of nowhere.

This whole train level was creepy in itself

>>443314
>wampastompa

>>443291
The noises these things made were horrifying.

>hit spider webs I tediously avoided before

>huge spiders all over me

And that's why I have PTSD.

>>432690
Haha the first time I played OOT on a higher defintion screen, I realized those things were wearing one of the masks you could get from the happy mask shop. I played the sun song and was up close to it in first person looking at it and it came back to life and jumped on me

Scared me shitless, I probably screamed too

>>432830
oh, fuck that dog.

>>433546
And that bird.

>>440012
dawwww

>>442310
double fuck this dude.

>>432690

>coming out of the temple after pulling the sword and seeing these

NOPE NOPE NOPE

>mfw final boss is two of these fuckers. Mind you, they're easy as dicks to kill but after spending the entire game running the fuck away from one of them I pretty much shit

>>445119
Holy shit, anon. I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

>>443291
