Dr. Neo Cortex.

Whoever's loved the Crash Bandicoot series ever since it began should know this funny, foolish. evil doctor. I've always loved ruining his evil plans especially with the elementals in Crash Bandicoot The Wrath of Cortex. He always skitzed it and I loved how he had an army of bosses by his side.

I will always love Crash Bandicoot and Dr Neo Cortex and his minions. Although, I find the recent series of Crash Bandicoot has changed.. dramatically which I am highly dissapointed in. I loved the style of the very first 3. Ah the best memories smashin' his booty all over the place with my super rainbow ooka ooka mask! :D Weee!
 
The police in Grand Theft Auto ... wait. They're the good guys. :x

I love Meowth, there is just so much depth to his character as I see him.
 
Dr. Albert W. Wily... He's a psychopathic (albeit super-genius) man-child hellbent on enslaving humanity with a bunch of killer robots! That is THE classic mad scientist, a character type I quite like. Wily's nearly invincible, too, leading me to believe he must be part robotic himself, with a reconstructed titanium skeleton, or something like that. He's also kind of a mental train wreck, to be honest. He's always rolling out these repetitive, simple plans, all nearly identical to one another, and consistently getting his butt handed to him day in and day out by Mega Man. He must enjoy their fights, or something, because he's just inviting the law to come screw with him by this point. Speaking of the law, why have they not gone completely nuts searching for this guy? After over a dozen attempts to conquer the world, I'd say that they should start being a little worried about this one particular criminal. Maybe they have as much fun with the struggle as Dr. Wily does... Weird form of entertainment, in my opinion, but I'm not the genius here, so what do I know?

Fawful from the Mario & Luigi series! This speaks for itself.

It would be a shame if I didn't mention Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik here, of course. Like Dr. Wily, Dr. Eggman is an evil but childish robotics master... I must like that kind of character. Eggman plays up the childish side more, though; His schemes are often just absurdly cartoony, ranging from literally blowing Earth apart into pieces (this worked) to kidnapping aliens and turning their energy into a mind-control cannon (this also worked). With such a colorful, goofy, carnival-like empire, he's practically an evil clown!

While only a sampler of my favorite villains, I don't feel like being here all night.

Favorite villain... names escape my mind right now but one of my top favorite villains would have to be N from the pokemon series. He is so mysterious yet very cool at the same time!
 
Just to name a few...

Alex (Golden Sun) - This guy...I still can't figure him out. What is he REALLY after? His shock reveal as the ultimate antagonist at the end of The Lost Age was one of the highlights of the games, and whilst Dark Dawn was the most disgustingly unworthy sequel I have ever had the misfortune of playing, it DID bring him back into the thick of things, and only raised more questions. Alex intrigues me. He doesn't seem to be overly antagonistic, yet he's clearly cast as a villain. But...why?

Liquid Snake (Metal Gear Solid) - Oh, Liquid...how I love Liquid. He has the most incredible accent, and he is one of the most stubborn video games villains I have ever seen - he gets shot down in a helicopter and then in Metal Gear REX, then he gets punched off the top of it, and THEN he comes back in a jeep, guns blazing! Then he random collapses due to FoxDIE. Then, to top it all off, he apparently possesses Ocelot through his hand. This guy is badass. He loves to monologue. He has a spectacular inferiority complex despite being the superior clone. Liquid Snake should never have died in the first MGS, the series was made so much poorer for it.

Kefka (FFVI) - Because he did something no other FF villain has ever done before or after FFVI's release: he actually accomplished something. He achieved his goals, and he did it with a smile...well, a manic grin, and some extremely amusing jokes.

Faize (Star Ocean: The Last Hope) - Faize's story in Star Ocean is quite tragic, really. I liked him as a protagonist (although his relationship with Lymle freaked me out...she fifteen, but looks like she's five, and he's eighteen. GOD ALMIGHTY.) and his gradual descent into insanity was the most believable emotional trauma any character in that game - ignoring Edge's embarrassing little angst fest here - went through. It made the ending of the game, which threw the entire thing into confusion, so much better than what it may otherwise have been.

Popola (NieR) - To be honest, I did not see this coming at all, and I'm fairly good at predicting things like this. But fighting her and her sister to a remixed version of Song of Ancients was one of the highlights of the game. But what really made this stand out was how she reacted after Devola was cut down...she went absolutely INSANE. I was genuinely freaked out, because she had always been such a mild-mannered, sweet girl. I got the impression that Devola was the assertive one, but she really went and proved me wrong there...

Lezard Valeth - I didn't see this coming, either. One minute, I'm positive I'm going to be fighting Odin as the main villain, and then...wham. Lezard kills Odin, takes Gugnir for his own, and sets up his own dimension, with the thoroughly bizarre goal of fusing with Lenneth Valkyrie, leaving me to think "I don't know where the hell this came from, but I like it!" whilst I climb his tower...only to watch him go psychopathic. Lezard's laugh is one of the most terrifying laughs I've ever heard, and his maniacal little speech during his Meteor Swarm attack is impressively grandiose...especially considering how much damage it does. He was a deceptively uninteresting side-character who took the role for himself, which was fantastic.


I tend to prefer the antagonists to the protagonists in video games overall though, to be honest. They just have so much more depth to them.
 
hmmm...I like Ganon from The Legend of Zelda I don't know why, but nowadays whenever I play Zelda I can't help but think that him kidnapping Zelda/endangering Hyrule is his way of playing with his BFFs Link and Zelda. I think it's because of in SSB:Brawl in Subspace Emissary that one scene with Link/Zelda/Ganon all together came to me like

Ganon: Hey, look! Zelda! I'll kidnap you or something!
Link: >:I
Zelda: come on guys, not now. We have more important things to do.
Ganon/Link: Fine.

I dunno, I guess i'm just weird and have weird imagine spots about the triforce gang having tea at the hyrule castle when not fighting each other.

oh yeah, and Izanami from Persona 4. She's suppose to be the evil, conniving Big Bad but you can't help but feel sorry for her...and in New Game+'s be all like, "aww it's Izanami! What a cute lil' Goddess!" when fighting her.

That's all I can think of right now.
 
Shadow the Hedgehog, he's such a badass
 
GLaDOS from the Portal series. She's hilarious and a great antagonist in the first Portal, and even funnier in the second. Though she does help you in Portal 2...
 
I would have to say my favorite villains are,
N from Pokemon Black and White, Kuja from Final Fantasy 9, GlaDOS from Portal, and the Arbiter from Halo 1 and 2 (since in 3 he was technically good)
 
Alex from Golden Sun only succeeds at being a decent villain because the rest of the cast is retarded. His actual motives (at least in TLA) are nothing original and are quite disappointing. In Dark Dawn he wasn't any better because he just left us kind of confused to what the hell he was doing in the last 30 years, which will probably amount to
Spoiler:


A battle would be much appreciated though, Camelot! I'm sick of your copy and paste critters as final bosses.

Anyways moving from that.

I personally like quite a few of the villains from the Suikoden series, but think of a character that can top Luca Blight in badassery in less than 30 seconds and I'll give you an e-cookie. Seriously, his sheer badassery makes him pure awesome. I know, some people will say that Kefka was a better villain, but remember that Luca has absolutely nothing that separates him from a normal person, and yet he takes an EXTREME amount of difficulty to kill (i.e., tons of arrows, 3 parties of 6 battling him in an extremely difficult battle, a duel, more arrows... need I say more?). And because of that sheer badassery I can't help but adore Luca.

...Alex is hiding under his little mask now, isn't he?

General Jarod from Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn, play the game and you will understand.
Too bad you kill him way too early off.
