Who the fuck believes this retard shit? if you die, you die.

The only time this ever applies is if you and the main boss happen to encounter each other early before the final fight or some shit to build tension.

Ninja Gaiden Sigma does this pretty badly. There's an incredibly difficult boss fight were you're supposed to lose but it is possible to win. Nothing happens if you win though - it immediately goes to the losing cutscene without missing a beat. You don't even earn anything from it like money or some shit.

Senran Kagura Shinovi Versus

You don't actually lose in the cutscenes, but in the cutscenes whatever character you were playing as is exhausted, emphasizes they just barely won, or the fight nearly killed them, and your opponent isn't even phased, saying they weren't even trying and they are going to kill you now, usually resolved by another character saving you.

This happens even if you completely shit stomp the opponent without getting hurt. It really fucking ticked me off that I just spent the last two minutes juggle fucking this tit ninja in the air, and then the cutscene says I nearly got my ass beat.

In Mafia 2 when you are sent to prison the local "Tough guy" challenges you to a yard fight. It starts out normally but when he gets to low health he starts to block every single hit you throw at him. You cannot beat him until the story progresses later.

You didn't actually manage to beat him, right? If you can pull it off killing Doku nets you his sword, Kitetsu, that early in the game, instead of getting normally halfway through the game on his actual winnable Boss Fight.

Or worse yet, the boss is in a turn-based game and you have to actually do something to let it kill you.
