I just thought I should start this topic.
I think Ganon in LoZ 64 was pretty cool.
KEFKA PALAZZO
Hah, I even beat Gamer to it.
Also, Count Bleck, Mr. L.
Miror B. He was just soooo retro :P
Quote from: SirIngusBingus on July 01, 2009, 07:52:41 PMAlso, Count Bleck, Mr. L.
Damn, I wanted to say it :P
Also Robotnick (Sonic), Gruntilda (BK), Master hand (SSB), and probably others that i cant remember...
I also liked Gruntilda (Forgot about her, my first game I played.) and Bowser from Super Mario 64.
I'd have to say my favorite would be Meta/regular Ridley from the Metroid Series. You fight him in almost every metroid game and he's always fun to fight. Also that he looks totally awesome!
The Greastest Villain ever in video gaming history has got to be Flotsam(Dark Cloud 2).

OMG, do you play another game besides Dark Cloud... You're such a fanboy xD
My favorite villain was either Bowser, or Kreya from KOTOR II
Second best villain is probably Olimar. He enslaves natives of a planet and sends them to die in order to acheive his own personal goals. How is that not a villain?

Yep, its an rpg.
Giyga's from earthbound, he was so deadly.
Skull Kid/ Majora's Mask in LoZ: MM. HE WANTS TO FREAKING CRUSH TERMINA WITH A MOON THAT HAS A FACE!
Quote from: triforced1 on July 04, 2009, 05:36:25 PMSkull Kid/ Majora's Mask in LoZ: MM. HE WANTS TO FREAKING CRUSH TERMINA WITH A MOON THAT HAS A FACE!
Definitely
Nightmare from Soulcaliber. He fights with a friggin' Zweihander!
Wesker from the RE series...and Alex from golden sun
badass
Quote from: Dalonzo on July 18, 2009, 01:18:53 AMWesker from the RE series
He was just annoying, he wouldn't shut up.
Masked Man from Mother 3.
Wesker has the most annoying voice EVER.
That's what makes Wesker the best, he's annoying when he talks, annoying when you fight him, and can kill you in one hit!
Or do you prefer the strong, silent type that can kill you in one hit. ->Dark Flaz: Final Form from Phantasy Star Online.
Mid boss from Disgaea-lol yeah right! he was pitiful.
Quote from: SuperFireKirby on July 02, 2009, 08:46:44 AMThe Greastest Villain ever in video gaming history has got to be Flotsam(Dark Cloud 2).
I AGREE
NO IT'S KEFKA. OR FAWFUL.
Kefka really was something.
The Time Splitters.
I think Dr. Deathshead is a good villain too. (btw, he's the Wolfenstein Villain)
Giyga was pretty terrifying, too.
But Kefka's remains the best (or worst, depends on your view).
This is the face of evil:
(https://www.ninsheetmusic.org/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimages1.wikia.nocookie.net%2Fdarkcloud%2Fimages%2Fthumb%2F7%2F73%2FFlotsam_Ingame.JPG%2F189px-Flotsam_Ingame.JPG&hash=95c443b1b517a7b2db794e73eb6fb822f5509029)
I still don't know who/what that is or where it's from.
IIRC, it's Flotsam from Dark Cloud 2.
Magus & Gilgamesh...Kefka was pretty good too, Bass was also nice, can't think of any other awesome ones.
CHRONO TRIGGER SPOILERS OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG
But Magus wasn't actually bad, so you can't really count him. He is awesome though.
END SPOILERS.
Dhaos from Tales of Phantasia made a great villain.
BOWSER RULES!
Quote from: Magus Darkwind on October 16, 2009, 07:51:37 PMGilgamesh
Nooo, don't remind me! *cries in the corner of the room*
Magus was rather cute, while Kefka is just the best villain ever.
No! Not Excalipoor! Aaaaaaaaaaaaargh...
The Black Baron from Madworld is another one of my favorite villains.
Quote from: G-Han on October 20, 2009, 07:10:45 AMQuote from: Magus Darkwind on October 16, 2009, 07:51:37 PMGilgamesh
Nooo, don't remind me! *cries in the corner of the room*
Magus was rather cute, while Kefka is just the best villain ever.
My biggest question is...why the heck was Gilgamesh working for ExDeath by the time you got to the 3rd encounter, I mean...He almost could've beaten ExDeath, and had the Excalipoor been the Excalibur...ExDeath would have been SSOOOO dead. In addition, Gilgamesh had the crap beaten out of him the last two times he fought your guys.
Yea, Magus was kinda cute...
The one reason why I don't like Kefka is...his being overpowered in taking all the espers...that didn't make any sense, nor him knowing about the standing in the center of the warring triad when it was gestahl who studied the whole thing.(As a side-note, the warring triad were the crqppiest crap ever, each one was soloable by a decent party)
Um. Did you pay attention to the story at all? He essentially absorbs all their powers. Makes perfect sense in a Final Fantasy sort of way.
Yes I did pay attention, and I know what happened, yet...how did he come across this amazingly overpowered magic(?)
I'm going to save both of us a hell of a lot of time. (http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Kefka_Palazzo)
I could say Sephiroth but there was one big disappointment with him so I have to go with Ganondorf and Garland. And there was one cool fella from Phantasy Star IV, Zio.
Dormin from Shadow of the Colossus. nuff said
Fawful was THE epic villain. Same with the Shroobs. :)
IT'S THE OVERHEAT
Gary is the one "Video game villain" that irritates the protagonist more than any other.
Gary Oak.
Team rocket wouldn't work: they never do anything right, despite how much they irritate Ash
neither are IN the videogames.... but don't deny it, that's who Blue IS. and team rocket is mentioned a lot too.
:p
Team Rocket IS the name of the gang in R/B/Y. So there's nothing to deny. It's fact that they're in the games.
It's no secret that villains have all the fun. Head is the most terrifying creation in the pantheon of video game villains.
Please visit for more information: Reverse Phone Lookup (http://www.articlesbase.com/communication-articles/facts-on-free-reverse-phone-lookup-you-must-know-1598084.html)
...What.
Ummmm.... spam bot. Or somethin?
Probably. Trying to be subtle or sumthin.
head is the most hardest final boss ever.
What game?
i finally beat ballos...he was kinda hard...
Just cause a boss was hard doesn't necessarily mean it was a good villain.
Like a could rant about how impossible the giant crab worm in Borderlands is, but it wasn't a good villain, it's just an extremely hard boss.
but ballos was a pretty good villain too :)
THEN HE IS ACCEPTABLE! HUZZAH!~!
lol -DAMN U BALROG‼
Kamek was pretty menacing in New Super Mario Bros. Wii.
Im my opinion, the best villain is Porky, from the Earthbound/Mother series. At first, you think he´s dumb, but then is like: OMG! HE´S THE LEADER OF THE PIGMASK ARMY! :o
â†'â†'spoiler alert? lol.
never planned on playing any of those games anyway. :P
After some thinking I think that Ganondorf is the best. Seriously, he plays the organ! Just that makes him epic ;)
And the final battles with him is always epic (except in Oracle-series where he just looks insane). The TP battle was epic, especially the last part
Emperor Griffon from Dark Cloud 2 was a beast because when you first fight him, he's a cute little bunny who launches deadly roses at you.

Man do I hate Shroobs! Making a comeback in M&L: BIS, who knows what will happen if a fourth game comes out!
Oh! And I also love the Metroid Prime, a.k.a. "the Worm"! lol
It´s an epic battle, the second part, I mean.
Hmm. Tough one.
I want to say N (From pokemon B-W), but that guy was evil for a good cause.. If that's even possible?
I fucking hate Ghetsis. He's a dick, bagging your rivals and saying N is retarded. >:(
Ah yes. I loved N's comment: "Poor Bianca is discovering that not everyone succeeds..."
...douchebag...>__> Seriously, doesn't anyone ever give Bianca a break?
I felt sorry for her throughout the game. Still...
Cyrus, the leader of Team Galactic in Pokémon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum versions ---
He's a psychopath that enslaves Dialga and Palkia in order to use their powers over time and space to destroy the universe and make himself God of the new universe. You can't get more evil than that. Well, he almost does, if it weren't for those meddling 10-year olds.
Yes, I think there's something very wrong with him. The fact that he looks like a 60 year-old in the games when he's really 20 something is disturbing too.
I'm surprised that there are six pages to this topic and no one has posted this link:
http://www.ign.com/videogame-villains/
THERE'S FREAKING 100 VILLAINS ON THIS LIST!!!
The Final Fantasy series has been pretty good about effectively building up villains, so several of the most memorable bad guys in video games on my list come from the franchise.
The one that's stuck with me the most is probably Golbez from FFIV though. At first he's just introduced as the guy that usurps your place as captain of the Red Wings then you learn that he's using Baron's army to gather all the crystals and you see firsthand the destruction he causes in places like Damcyan. When he's finally introduced, he literally WALKS INTO THE CRYSTAL CHAMBER of Fabul with your best friend brainwashed, pimp slaps everyone out of his way, and then WALKS OUT with the crystal in one hand and your love interest in the other.
The fact that he's introduced with a downright badass leitmotif does't hurt either. You know the writers have done their job effectively when bricks are shat every time you hear those pipe organs kick in because Golbez is coming to PERSONALLY ruin your day.
Actually I really enjoy the bossbattles in Spyro 2 (and 3?) since you can't only get different power-ups to fight the boss with, but THE BOSS can also use them
King DDD is really a mystery.
Quote from: Oritendo on July 05, 2011, 06:40:43 PMKing DDD is really a mystery.
I know, right! I've never played a Kirby game (Yes, I know, I'm such a sinner) but I've played Super Smash Bros. and saw him kill Luigi. And hug Kirby. Then on the Kirby Wii E3 ad King Dedede is chasing Kirby THEN HE'S ON KIRBY'S SIDE, LATER. I MEAN WTF? Is Dedede just confused about his evilness or just really likes Kirby? Could someone please explain???
Oh my gosh the most ANNOYING villain of ALL TIME is Porky/Pokey Minch from the Mother series. HE IS SUCH A FREAK. >:(

I wish I could explain for his weirdness, but I'm lost for words too.
Dedede just generally wins, but he's not my favorite villain. I just don't know who is...Bowser Jr. is pretty epic.
I hate bowser jr. :-\
HE GETS ON MY NERVES

Dedede is only kind of a villain since he generally ends up joining you in every game. Ex. Kirby 64, Kirby's Adventure/ Nightmare in Dreamland, Epic Yarn.

OMG! I know right?! Bowser and Bowser jr. need to think of something better to do than just kidnapping Peach.
My top 10:
1. Giygas (Earthbound): C'mon... Everyone knows he's the creepiest, most powerful and epic villain of ALL videogames.
2. Ganondorf/Ganon (The Legend of Zelda series): Another great villain. I love his appearance in Wind Waker because you realise that he's a "deep" and complex character, more than the simple and common bad guy.
3. Team Rocket (Pokemon series): My favorite evil team in the Pokemon world (yet, of course ::)). Giovanni is badass! I can't wait until the "Team Rocket VS Team Plasma" anime special! It's gonna be big...
4. Andross / Dr. Wily / Sigma (Starfox, Megaman and Megaman X series): A tie between these 3, all related to technology, madness and world (or space, in Andross' case) domination. Insane evil villains that won't desist until their plans are succesfully completed and will return again and again if they fail!
5. Miror B (Pokemon Colosseum / XD): Just one thing to say... Let the music play! ;D
6. King K. Rool (Donkey Kong series): A fatty fat crocodile that leads a bunch of crocodiles from a crocodile-shaped island and wants to exterminate the kongs with no reason, which doesn't make any sense. Still, he's funny (what kind of evil leader throws his crown at his enemy when battling? K. Rool, of course!) and awesome.
7. Bowser and his offsprings (Super Mario series): What can I say?
8. Cackletta and Fawful / The Shroobs (Mario & Luigi series): Another tie. Both are foreign villains that attempted to take over the Mushroom Kingdom. Be careful, Mario Bros., they have fury and chortles!
9. Space Pirates / Dark Samus (Metroid Prime) (Metroid series): Kraid, Ridley and Mother Brain over all the pirates. Dark Samus is just... epic.
10. Zant (The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess): He betrayed the Twili only for power, almost conquered Hyrule and... he's mad. Good enough.
Other villains that I personally love and aren't so popular or important are: Pigma Dengar (Starfox series), Terrormisu (Wario: Master of Disguise), Krux / Krawl (Spectrobes series), King Boo (Super Mario series), Porky Minch (Earthbound and MOTHER 3), Greevil (Pokemon XD), the Shadow Queen (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door), Don Paolo (Professor Layton 1st Trilogy), Popple (Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga) and My Lady Venus! (Pokemon Colosseum).
Note: When I put a tie on the ranking, I consider characters with something in common which I can't decide if one or the other.
My own top ten, in descending order:
10. Gengar (from Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team/Red Rescue Team) ~ You wake up as a Pokemon: already a bizarre premise for a game. But while most Pokemon are nice to you, there's this huge jerk that seems to hate you for some reason. He convinces the villagers that you're actually the cursed human from the Legend of Ninetales, who abandoned your best friend, Gardevoir. It turns out that he was that human all along...and it's kind of nice to see him feel remorse for Gardevoir and make amends with Ninetales in the end.
9. King Boo (from Luigi's Mansion) ~ I love this game so much. I think my favorite part were the bosses, and King Boo, while not the most fun or interesting, just looks so cool and bizarrely cute. He's pretty menacing.
8. King Dedede (from the Kirby series) ~ The waddling leader of the Waddledees (how fitting is that?) is a great character despite always seeming to end up on Kirby's side. He's also fun to play as in Brawl. :3
7. Ghetsis (from Pokemon Black and White) ~ He's such a huge jerk. He RAISED his son as a pawn in his game for his entire childhood. And then he proceeds to give him a further "fuck you" when he's defeated by essentially calling him an idiot. What a fantastic father. I wonder who the brilliant lady is who decided to get it on with this freak show.
6. The Shroobs (from Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time) ~ The Shroobs are awesome, okay? Partners in Time was one of my first games for the DS, and I loved the zany humor that it brought to the table. I laughed myself silly at the menacing shroobs. (see this cutscene (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfg2Raz2GYI#t=6m3s) for more details.
5. Midbus (from Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story) ~ This guy is funnier than the Shroobs. This pink bull/pig thing's stupidity and foreign way of talking is hilarious. Notable quote: "Taste your fist? Ha ha ha. I think not. I HAVE NO TASTE!!!"
4. Don Paolo (from the Professor Layton series) ~ I love this guy. He has a great accordion-based theme, a bizarre design, a crazy habit of wearing amazing, near-perfect disguises, and a surprisingly moving backstory.
3. Fawful (from the Mario & Luigi RPG series) ~ This little alien-thing is amazing. He has some of the funniest one-liners in all of video game history. Playing Cackletta's underling in Superstar Saga, then reduced to a brief cameo in Partners in Time, then finally obtaining his well-deserved role as main villain in Bowser's Inside Story, we love Fawful and demand more of him!
2. N (from Pokemon Black and White) ~ N was such a great character. Shame that he didn't realize Ghetsis's true intentions before the end of the game. I especially liked how in order to emphasize his fast mumbling speech, all of his text moved faster than other peoples'. Plus N's Farewell totally wins.
1. Bowser Jr. (from the Mario series) ~ Come on. He's adorable AND threatening. And he had some great boss battles in Super Mario Galaxy, most notably the Megahammer.
Quote from: SlowPokemon on September 10, 2011, 11:43:43 AMwe love Fawful and demand more of him!
In my opinion, in Mario & Luigi RPG 4, Fawful should return to Beanbean Kingdom to try to revive Cacketta again. I mean, the Beanbean Kingdom was awesome, and I think Nintendo should bring it back. They could introduce Wario, Waluigi and Bowser somehow, along with new characters. ;D
Also, they could combine Bros. Attacks (advanced commands were AWSOME) and attacking objects to make battles more awsome.
Superstar Saga is my favorite M&L RPG, and I don't want it to be forgotten. :P
Who doesn't remember Popple and Rookie (Birdo)? Boo-Stupid-Hoo! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpNnpdBrJrs) I love how Mario and Luigi react when they see Birdo! lol
I loved Popple. Stupid how he runs away after you beat Bowser though.
Quote from: SlowPokemon on September 11, 2011, 05:59:30 AMI loved Popple. Stupid how he runs away after you beat Bowser though.
That's what makes him even cooler! ::)
The villain from Heavy Rain. I won't spoil it because it would ruin the whole game.

After playing Portal 2 again...
GLaDOS
^seconded.
^ Thirded, any character/robot from Portal 2 is epic, but can GLaDOS be considered as a villain in this game?
On to the new stuff...Ghirahim! That guy is creepy...
I've only battled Ghirahim once, and he mostly seems weird so far
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZUs03O5UMM
Watch that video and you'll see what I mean :-X
Sam of Mafia. >:(
I hate him so much, I save him thousand of time after that he betrayed.
My favorite villians are Ashnard and Lekain (bet you wouldn't have guessed that ;D)
I'm currently playing through Lufia 3, and the Sinister of Destruction sure made an impact of me. EVERYONE is an idiot in that game, literally!
And that he likes epic stuff (which keeps him from destroying stuff)
Flotsam from Dark Cloud 2 is still teh coolest villain in my book.
Reasons he's so awesome:
1. He's an overweight clown
2. He has a tophat
3. Everything he says is just pure awesomeness. "
3. He turns the mayor of Palm Brinks into his whiny bitch
4. He has a giant, radioactive, wind-up spider clown as his main mode of transportation
5. He also rides in an atv with a mounted machine gun and clown hands on the front of it.
6. He strips down to his underwear and tries to blow you up with dynamite
7. He comes back as a freakin cyborg.
I think my favorite villian would have to be the Prophet of Truth from the Halo series. His whole 'I am truth' speech still creeps me out!
That doesn't make sense; prophets foretell of their enigma, not embody it! D:
Kingdom Hearts, oh god why.
BUMP
