People who tend to be obsessed with 'beauty' and similar aspects, I don't generally like. But with Vega, he's not just narcisstic but a cold-hearted assassin. Despite having been forever since I've played "Street Fighter II", any fight with or against Vega I can definitely recall. And he's one of the better yet more annoying challenges you go against.
VEGA! ♥ Favorite Street Fighter character of my brother and I.
Vega Fabio la Cerda is also my favourite of Street Fighter.
#10: Heihachi Mishima (Tekken Series)
Attachment 49006
I started playing "Tekken" with both my godbrother and brother at a very young age, beginning with the second one. So of course, I knew the early cast members, including Heihaci. Admittedly, they do make him - literally - a joke as the series goes on. But I think he shines best in "Tekken 3" and "Tekken 4".
As someone you have to fight against, he can be annoying as hell.
I like the fact he has a lot of charisma about him. How so? He's able to keep hosting tournaments, getting an array of people to join in and beat the living crap out of each other. And with those types of scenarios, you know that no one has to go. But the fact they all seem to find something, some motive to take the bait and enter this man's tournaments ... that would be how I view him as able to have that sense of leadership.
Also, he does often get help from outside sources, like scientists, to help out with his projects. And they definitely didn't have to assist out either.
This list just got 20% cooler and it was already cool to begin with.
#9: Alec Trevelyan (Goldeneye)
Attachment 49032
Ah, yes. Another game that takes me way back. Unlike any of the others listed here, he's actually one of those 'heroes turned into a villain' type which makes him all the more intriguing. You first know him as your comrade, only to later realize he's never been on your side the entire time. Makes for a very nice plot twist. I sure didn't see it coming when I played this game.
Worse off, he wasn't just any traitor. No, he was Bond's best friend which adds more to his character and the knowledge you have to go against him. It makes you almost wish you didn't have to at times, given you do have positive interactions with him before his reveal in the game, even regret knowing that the only way to deal with him is killing him.
So for his unique design - going from hero to bad - guy among everything I listed, Alec is certainly an individual whom I think deserves to be added onto this list. Fighting him in the last level is also a hell of a chore; just saying.
Can I just give a big "hell yes!" on both counts. I remember Heihachi from before his hair was grey! My favourite moment was Tekken 4 when you face him in the final in a big cage... and he comes out in just a thong. Biggest wtf moment I had experienced in gaming for a long time :lol:
Also I actually really loved fighting Trevelyan on the last level - once I figured out how to do it to perfection, that is. I admit the first few tries I was a bit frustrated but I got it down to an art form. I loved his lines and insults and I loved the music that played.
@Psychotic: Proud smile
You may, yes.
@Everyone: Thanks so much for taking the time and effort to read and check up on this. To say I'm pleased with how it's all been turning out and appealing so far is an understatement.
Next up ....
#8: Jester (Devil May Cry 3)
Attachment 49036
I realize this one has two sides to it's coin, as it were. But he was a much better villain as Jester rather than Arkham. Why? Because he played everyone, even Vergil, and led them all to the exact place he wanted them to be. All to help accomplish his end goal. And given Dante and Vergil weren't easy to trick, that is awesome he could pull that off.
Sometimes, a bit of comedy mixed in with villains can be good; as long as it's balanced and not overdone. And with Jester, I feel they did him an incredible amount of justice. He came off as one of those villains you wanted to see again, regardless of why.
Jester schooled them all. Especially when they had him at knife/gun point and he tripped them all. I still laugh at that scene.
#7: Ganon/Ganondorf (The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time)
Attachment 49049
Despite him coming off as the typical 'princess kidnapper', I don't find that to be the case with Ganon. He's strong -- physically and with sorcery even. He's one of the few villains on this list that you see multiple times, showing a resolve and adamant refusal to be easily defeated. And honestly, I like that. He also has shown to resort to other crimes like arson and so much more; all to get a piece of the Triforce and keep it for himself.
Ganondorf: I like you.
Me: I'm very likeable!
I like him and I like a lot of Nintendo stuff. It's basically the video game equivalent of Disney. A lot of people grew up with it, many of their characters are timeless and people hate it for being a shell of it former self.
#6: Kefka Palazzo (Final Fantasy VI)
Attachment 49050
Don't let the funny-looking appearance fool you. Kefka is no doubt a villain. He is definitely one of those cases where appearances don't mean anything, particuarly regarding one's personality. In fact, he's the opposite of what one may immediately assume.
Kefka is short-tempered, insane, cruel and very destructive. He went through the effort of poisoning an entire river, not caring his own men were caught in the mess. But he's also one of the few villains who actually achieved his goals and, essentially, became God. Few villains, if any, can actually achieve such feats.
Need I add more about this man? When all is said and done, Kefka has definitely earned a spot on my list.
