Training Boss: Difference between revisions

* Your superiors, Girardot and Abelia, from the early chapters of ''[[Soul Calibur]] III'''s Chronicles of the Sword mode. They challenge you to test your worthiness in battle at first, but when you face off against them later on: it's for keeps.

* Master Tetsu in ''Legend of Legaia''. Near the end of the game, he becomes a [[Bonus Boss]].

* ''[[No More Heroes]]'' has Death Metal, who arguably functions as one of the easier bosses in the game, provided that the player knows what he/she is doing. The sequel has Skelter Helter, who functions as more of a training boss more than Death Metal did, yet is [[Almighty Janitor|harder than his successor, especially on Bitter mode.]]

* The Komamen from Jump! Ultimate Stars.

* In an interesting take, [[Vagrant Story]] actually gives you dummies to practice on, which you find in various places. This is useful even late-game because as you attack the dummy, your skill against that particular enemy type (say, lizards) will increase even though the dummy never moves and is practically indestructible.

* ''[[Call of Duty]] 2'' actually justifies this - immediately after basic training, the player must destroy a German armored car that enters the area.
