Worst Fighting Game Boss Ever

I had a conversation with some friends of mine the other day which inspired me to make this thread here. Basically my friend Anthony is always bitching about BB and their difficulty curb (he can't beat U. Haku-Men nor can he beat U. Hazama). My other friend Sara countered his argument in that Seth is easily the cheapest boss she has ever played. My boy Ridder disagreed with both and argued that Magaki was easily the cheapest boss ever for a fighting game. Finally, Stephanie argued that Parace L'Sia outcheats any other boss in fighting games.

So I ask you, what fighting game do you think provided to most rage inducing boss ever?

*My vote goes to Rugal Bernstein (KOF '94) as long as I have had this game I have never beaten him. In my opinion, he laid the groundwork for cheap ass bosses in fighting games lol.

Seth. Not hard to beat, but such a lame and unfun character- and then they made it worse by making him playable.

In terms of boss fight- Igniz.
 
My vote goes to this fucker right here:

Not only was he cheap and powerful enough to take half your life in one move, but he had five forms with a full life bar each and you had to beat them all to win one round. You had to win two rounds but if he beat you once you were dead and it was straight up game over. Add to that his earth form had moves that would dizzy you through a block. He may have been made artificially hard though. The inability to continue really limited how much exposure you got to his wholesale bullshit.

Otherwise, SNK bosses make the standard. They are fairly consistently cheap with easy bosses like Mukai the exception and not the rule. I refer to cheap bosses with the phrase "SNK boss syndrome". Every time this threat comes up, Rugal jumps to mind.
