Magical CC Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 So, in your opinion, who or which are the most iconic and distinguished game antagonists? They dont have to be the final boss or the strongest one. They dont have to be the villain of the game or evil but they have to oppose the main characters. Here is my list: _Bowser _Dr.Willy _Dark Link _Dr.Robotnik _M.Bison _Rugal _Giovanni _Akuma _Kefka _Sephiroth _Luca Bright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Emblem Fan Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Bowser (Mario) and Ganondorf/Ganon (Zelda) for sure. Sephiroth (Final Fantasy), Dr. Robotnik/Eggman (Sonic), Dr. Willy (Mega Man), the four ghosts in Pac-Man, Dr. Neo Cortex (Crash Bandicoot [laugh all you want but those Crash Bandicoot games on the PS1 were HUGE]), Dracula (Castlevania), Albert Wesker (Resident Evil), Team Rocket (Pokemon), Andross and Wolf (Star Fox), and I'm sure there's some I'm forgetting.

Naughx Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Ganondorf Dragmire! (Or Ganon) He remains my favorite video game villain/antagonist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) Ganon(dorf) Bowser Robotnik Dr. Wily Ridley Sephiroth M. Bison Shao Khan Liquid Snake Dracula Glados Blue (Pokemon) Albert Wesker This is a list I think most people into gaming can recognize or at least has heard of these characters before. Chances are I forgot someone big, I was trying to remember Crash's villain, but I figured if I've forgotten then he can't be that recognized. Oh wait, somebody else has him, okay...

Avarice Shadow Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Mine would be: Bowser Akuma Ganondorf Dr.Eggman Albert Wesker Sephiroth King K.Rool Nightmare Heihachi Mishima Kazuya Mishima Jin Kazama(in tekken 6) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrightBow Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) As for my guess: Bowser Dr. Robotnik Sephiroth Ganon Dr. Wily Dracula M.Bison Edited August 28, 2015 by BrightBow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire Emblem Fan Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I was trying to remember Crash's villain, but I figured if I've forgotten then he can't be that recognized. I forgot Ridley existed until someone else listed him, since I forgot him I guess he can't be that recognized Not saying Cortex is a more prominent and recognizable video game antagonist as Ridley, 'cause he's not, just saying he's WAY more recognizable and prominent than people give him credit for.

NinjaMonkey Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Bowser, Ganon(dorf), Dr. Wily, K.Rool, Ridley, Dr. Robotnik, Albert Wesker, Andross and King Dedede. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't really mean that as insult to him. I was never a giant Crash fan anyways and I didn't grow up with the system, that probably has more to do with it. I get really tired in the morning so I have a tendency to say dumb things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maybe Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 (edited) you guys should really see bowser in the mario rpgs. hes amazing esp in paper mario 2.i agreein mario rpg he's basically just a joke at first who tries to act really cool but in paper mario they actually made him seem really evil and powerful and all then in the second game they basically demote him from main villain to main comedy relief, which is actually hilarious and probably my second favorite bowser in mario and luigi he's a lot less prominent though like in the first game the whole rookie thing was funny but bowletta was uhhhhhh in partners in time he's barely there from what i can tell though never actually finished it but he was pretty boring there bowser's inside story bowser is the best one though bowser is like the best protagonist ever he's so stupid and likable i love it also the way he says "SHOWTIME" is just perfect Edited August 29, 2015 by maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Alear Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 I don't think dark link should be on the list. Also, I want the magic emperor in lunar to be on the list, but since recognizable/popular, he really doesn't deserve a spot. I think Arthas in wciii deserves a spot. He's also in wow but I don't know much about that. Glados would be another good pick. I like Luca blight but I think he's not really recognizable enough.

Magical CC Posted August 31, 2015 Author Share Posted August 31, 2015 Oh right, Nemesis from RE3 and the Pyramid Head from SH. In the case of Nemesis, not only that he can appear in a lot of places, he also chases you around from place to place. He's probably the most iconic boss of the whole RE franchise.

TheUnderman14 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Probably my top 3 is: Kefka (FF6) Nyarlathotep (Persona 2) Senator Armstrong (Metal gear rising) Kefka and Nyarlathotep are some of the rare antagonist that actually accomplishes they're objectives and Senator Armtrong....well...you just don't fuck with this senator!
