Editing KHWiki:End of Year Event 2017/BSS

In addition to the various creatures that spawn throughout the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series, we are often faced with defeating the various powerful bosses throughout the games. This bracket will determine which is the '''Best Boss Battle''' in the series.

All characters who are listed as [[Boss|Boss characters]] qualify for this bracket.

-|comments=Interesting match up. Went for Sephiroth because he's the only one I've battled and I appreciate a good boss fight. {{User:FinalRest/Sig2}}
-<br>Defeating LW on CritLV1 is many times more satisfying for me than the 10 minutes it took to get Sephiroth for the 9th time (adjusting to one-hit kill difficulty conversion). I just think it's a better boss fight in general by a larger margin with how it's the truest test of skill and reflex in the entire series. --[[User:Adventuretime1|Adventuretime1]] ([[User talk:Adventuretime1|talk]]) 16:52, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
-:Sephiroth taught me how to use different abilities correctly. Lingering Will is much harder though, I will admit that. {{User:Chainoffire/sig}} 21:03, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
