History YMMV / Fraxy

* GameBreaker: The "Quicker" ship type, while designed for speed, ends up just being more powerful than anything else.

* GoodBadBugs: One bug allows for the creation of a 100% invisible boss, with no hittable parts.

** Comet Drone Cluster, if you fought [[VideoGame/{{Touhou}} Koishi Komeiji]].

** @/{{Oneshiningstar}}'s Star - Pincer Core. 3 easy attacks, followed by [[VideoGame/{{Touhou}} Vajra of]] [[ThatOneBoss Perfect Buddhism]]. Enjoy dying!

* [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome Crowning Battle of Awesome]]: ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPW6E_-b4MA#t=3m27s Arc. Legion.]]'' The finale to the ][nfector storyline, it is a fight against a being so powerful that [[spoiler:Reactor 00, which had the strength to wipe the galaxy clean of an invading army, could only hold it in check]], in AnotherDimension, set to [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome epic rock music]][[note]][[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBETIUlgZdY Dark Chest of Wonders]] by Nightwish[[/note]].

** To clarify, Zapan D is a giant mechanical skull that uses a shield made of big cores to attack. [[spoiler:In its second form, it becomes even larger and uses assorted {{BreathWeapon}}s and {{Eye Beam}}s to BeamSpam proportions.]] Scylla, The Infected Titan is a boss that has several forms, ending in a gentleman EldritchAbomination. [[CrowningMomentOfFunny It also uses Awesome Faces to do its dirty work in the first two forms.]]

* FreudWasRight: Phallic Avenger!
** Comet Drone Cluster, if you fought [[VideoGame/{{Touhou}} Koishi Komeiji]].
** Also [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=q06Nb6VAX24#t=20 the "cutscene" the player is treated to]] before fighting Birth, one of Eboshidori's creations.
** The first half of Omoresu's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mj4zxEsKGR0 Angelo Acala]] has a weak spot and attack that both come from [[GroinAttack a peculiar place]]. Naturally, people noticed.
* GameBreaker: The "Quicker" ship type. Enough said.

* SurpriseDifficulty: A typical new player pits themselves against the premade bosses, gaining confidence. Then they go download a few bosses from various Fraxy websites and soon realise the error of their ways.
* ThatOneAttack: Every boss has some really painful attacks. Notable attacks include:

*** Though fortunately, if you're playing without limited movement, that attack becomes far easier.

** Among the generic bosses, Clock Trap is a order of difficulty much higher than its compatriots.

** [[spoiler: Actually you get to face [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTeZrno8DNc Buddha]] too]].

* DesignatedHero: Mara. No matter who created him or why, no matter the intentions, Mara has the simple mission of [[spoiler: killing Sakra-Devanam and her spawn for attempted (and possibly accomplished) genocide of humanity.]] If he needs to [[spoiler: devastate an alien fleet for making the simple mistake of experimenting with Sakra-Devanam's [[FreudWasRight oddly shaped]] [[DeusExMachina resurrection leeches]]]], so be it.
* NightmareFuel: Eboshidori's storyline: shortly after Mara's fight with the Phantom 30k, he destroys it ''while the pilot is calling for backup.'' ''SET TO CREEPY MUSIC.'' [[spoiler: It's implied that the P30k and all related ships were created by Sakra-Devanam, and are not human, but still....]]

* ThatOneAttack: Every boss has some really painful attacks. Notable attacks include:
** Eboshidori's SBS 1300K, with the Archer Beam. If you can't hide in the nooks in its wings, you die.
** @/{{Oneshiningstar}}'s Star - Pincer Core. 3 easy attacks, followed by [[VideoGame/{{Touhou}} Vajra of]] [[ThatOneBoss Perfect Buddhism]]. Enjoy dying!
*** Though fortunately, if you're playing without limited movement, that attack becomes far easier.
* [[ThatOneBoss "That One Boss" Makers]]: Several, including:
** Eboshidori, who's something of a MemeticBadass in the Fraxy community for making difficult (or just interesting) bosses (in the grand scheme of things, that aren't all that hard).
** @/ZarroTsu, a boss maker who focuses on making [[BulletHell danmaku]] bosses, [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown most of whom will cause massive damage to your lives.]]
** Oomagatuhi, a Japanese boss maker who also focuses on danmaku bosses, [[NintendoHard except these would give even the most difficult of shooters a run for their money.]]
** Henny5555, who used to make bosses ''[[HopelessBossFight that are impossible to beat without the Quicker ship type!]]''
** Among the generic bosses, Clock Trap is a order of difficulty much higher than its compatriots.
** And of course, everyone else who can make a decent boss is less then one step away from such a title!
* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic: Several bosses are re-imaginings of deities from several religions (Eboshidori's guardian series is built around this, with every Buddhist Deity except for the Buddha himself showing up and the protagonist being ''the Buddhist devil'' ), one sticks the player on a crucifix, and one ''crucifies himself'' to achieve his final form.

-->'''Arc Legion''': "You still cannot give in to the inevitable? Then ''let the heavens fall!''"

* GameBreakingBug: Several bosses don't work properly in the latest beta versions, despite appearing fine in the editor. These include Eboshidori's ''Virupaksa II'' and ''Sakra-Devanam''(This one recently began working again, however). @/{{Oneshiningstar}}'s ''CX-07: Giant Delta 3'' has its 3rd delta self-destruct for no apparent reason just before the 4th phase begins. However, if it was not so, [[BulletHell you'd be panicking. That thing is spam.]]
