This question screams n00b
Yeah, I would say Ansem is modeled a little bit after Sephiroth (probably one of the reasons I like him so much). Ansem wasn't a last minute thing, but if it wasn't for him, the game would have ended at the Maleficent Dragon. Nomuru said they decided he would play an important role in the story. If it wasn't for him, the sequels would have A LOT less meaning. I can't believe the game started out without him, his reports, his awesome level!! They totally should have used Destati instead of the watered down version of it for his fight. They made Maleficent Dragon harder than his Final Form, I'm offended. NO, I repeat NO, final boss should ever be anything less than another boss's fight. If Ansem had been harder than the Dragon and Sephiroth, if he had had Destati playing, he would one of the most popular villains EVER!! Even if in CoM, he was the hadest boss (which he was), it was KH that would make him or break him. Would be cool to see him in other games, like Sephiroth. I'd buy it just to see him.:)
Thinking of witting comeback . . . I got nothing . . .
In terms of:
Strength: Sephiroth
Looks: Tie, I say!!
Endurance: Ansem, easy
You beat him once, he creates that huge dome and fights you again. Twice, he brings you into Kingdom Hearts itself. Thrice, he goes into his Guardian and awaits your defeat by his grand army of Heartless as he regains strength. Four times, Ansem opens the Door to Darkness and is overcome by the Light within. A little shaken, yes, but he remains as though he is yet to be harmed as he opens the Dark Door. In KH:CoM, Ansem returns and troubles Riku ever so relentlessly. Once defeated, he proclaims he shall return. Since Billy Zane is listed as doing the voices of Ansem/DiZ, it is obvious he is returning. I think it would be awesome to fight Ansem in the final battle after obtaining the power of Kingdom Hearts.
So, ffxfreak93:
Ansem=Sephiroth
