IGN's number one greatest villain of all time: http://video.ign.com/dor/articles/1089926/igns-1-videogame-villain/videos/top10villain_spc_051410.html

[Mirrorsandfevers]

Only 10 are posted M-(

[anthonydarko]

Knowing IGN lists, it's probably going to be some villain that pales in comparison to others worthier choices.

[trappedintime]

I was trying to figure out why there's only ten listed. But some of the comments talk about some in higher places. Maybe you need to have an actual account on there. Someone help?

[Joe DeAndrea]

Usually IGN releases big lists in bunches don't they? Next ten will probably be released in a few days or something.

[Forever.Zero]

Yes. It's a countdown. 10 a day. Being a Pokemon fan, I love the last bit of sentence they wrote for Gary Oak

[So-Crates]

Would love to see 'The Mighty Poo' from Conkers Bad Fur Day get a mention haha

[popdisaster00]

Bowser for #1

[The Summer Ends]

Gigyas and Porky Minch (Mother 3 spoilers) for number 1 and 2...........:-(

Bowser or Sephiroth or some other widely known douche will win.

[bard]

bowser of ganandorf will be #1

or donkey kong

or mother

[DaveFeelsRight]

pretty sure big boss will be in the top 15, along with wesker. count it.

[golferpunk1]

Would love to see 'The Mighty Poo' from Conkers Bad Fur Day get a mention haha
Definitely this!

[Whalejaw]

I don't think I can actually come up with 100 videogame villains I actually care about. I'm curious what the top 10 will be though.

[tkamB]

Darth Traya/Kreia should be in the top ten.

[Greg.Kushlan]

Sniper Wolf was awesome.

[Scrandon]

wow tried to jump to number 1... I'm callin Bowser

[flask]

Sniper Wolf was awesome.

Yup. I wish i still had my ps1 so i could play that battle again. The first time i did it, i was 9 or 10 so i didn't feel like sniping and just hid behind a rock and used the Nikita. Really cheap and now i feel like going toe to toe with her for real.

[Greg.Kushlan]

Most of the Boss Battles for that game were awesome. I think that one and Psycho Mantis are the best ones. I need to get a copy of the game to play again.

[BoysNightOutie]

If you have a PS3 get it on the PSN. Psycho Mantis should definitely be well represented in the upper echelon's of this list.

[Numero10]

Mario was a villain? Wuuut?

[aradiantsunrise]

The Axem Rangers better be on that.
http://www.rpgamer.com/games/mario/smrpg/art/smrpgart001.gif

[Numero10]

Nice to see Lance Vance on the list

[aradiantsunrise]

I'm going to guess Sephiroth is number 1.

[BornUnderPunches]

Yup. They probably only picked him so people would bother looking at it in the first place. Love how they call Gary Oak a little douche haha. If Team Rocket isn't up there then all hope is lost.
#1 will be Bowser. I bet Ganondorf's up there. the Covenant. maybe Goombas since they don't just include the big bosses

[eraserhead]

Ganon #1!

[a speedo model]

Ripburger should be higher.

[recall reality]

I'm going to guess Sephiroth is number 1.

This would be my guess as well.

[sweepthenation]

Loving the mentions for Lance Vance and Gary Oak

[trappedintime]

Ganon better make the top 5. That's all I'm asking for.

[ratmachine182]

sephiroth will be #1.... i really think so

[Bryant]

These guys will be in the top.

[jared091]

The Axem Rangers better be on that.
http://www.rpgamer.com/games/mario/smrpg/art/smrpgart001.gif

Was that a Super Mario RPG reference? I love you.

I still feel Geno needs his own game.

[aradiantsunrise]

Was that a Super Mario RPG reference? I love you.

I still feel Geno needs his own game.
Only one of the best games ever.

I back that!

[The Summer Ends]

Pyramid Head better be somewhere on the list, preferably extremely high. Also, Giygas should at least make the top 100, right?

[Sean Rizzo]

Was that a Super Mario RPG reference? I love you.

I still feel Geno needs his own game.

Only one of the best games ever.

I back that!
I double back that, SMRPG was great. I just replayed it last week, on my hard copy. =D

[Cameronisonfire]

Ocelot better be in the top 10.

[aradiantsunrise]

I double back that, SMRPG was great. I just replayed it last week, on my hard copy. =D
I can't find my cartridge. :-(

[Sean Rizzo]

I can't find my cartridge. :-(
Aww, that sucks. D= If you have a Wii you can get it in their store.

I'm scared that mine might die so I'm taking extra good care of it. My save files have corrupted before. D=

[aradiantsunrise]

Aww, that sucks. D= If you have a Wii you can get it in their store.

I'm scared that mine might die so I'm taking extra good care of it. My save files have corrupted before. D=
Ahhh, bummer.

Is it free?

[Sean Rizzo]

Ahhh, bummer.

Is it free?
I'm pretty sure it's not, but it's DEFINITELY worth it.

[aradiantsunrise]

I'm pretty sure it's not, but it's DEFINITELY worth it.
Of course it is, haha.

[Sean Rizzo]

Of course it is, haha.
What's your preferred team? Mario, Bowser, Geno was my fav, but swapping Geno out with Toadstool makes you unstoppable if you put the Lazy Shell on her.

[aradiantsunrise]

What's your preferred team? Mario, Bowser, Geno was my fav, but swapping Geno out with Toadstool makes you unstoppable if you put the Lazy Shell on her.
Yeah I did variants of those 4 usually. I guess Mellow doesn't get much love, haha.

[Sean Rizzo]

Yeah I did variants of those 4 usually. I guess Mellow doesn't get much love, haha.
haha yeah. he does have great offensive magic though. it would be fun to do a playthrough focusing on magic.

[aradiantsunrise]

haha yeah. he does have great offensive magic though. it would be fun to do a playthrough focusing on magic.
Yeah, could be fun, maybe a bit harder though.

[Sean Rizzo]

Yeah, could be fun, maybe a bit harder though.
Harder is what that game needs, though. I stocked up on all kinds of items and NEVER used them. D= Except for rock candies and the occasional syrup/pick me up. They give you way too many freebie heals. I guess this is to be expected though, it's an accessible game for kids so they can get into tougher RPGs.

Speaking of starter RPGs, did you ever play Mystic Quest? I loved that game too and it has great music. Still have my cart. =D

It is a bit too easy but some bosses still were a pain in the ass for me when I played it a couple months ago, haha.

Nope, never played that one.

[tD77]

The Axem Rangers better be on that.
http://www.rpgamer.com/games/mario/smrpg/art/smrpgart001.gif

Haha, this would be marvelous.

[Akissforher]

Sephiroth like it or not will win this,

[bandrewes]

The Hand from super smash bros has gotta be there.
No.1 either dr eggman or bowser

[Forever.Zero]

Can we make a list assuming who will be in the tops? I expect to see Sephiroth, Bowser, Liquid Snake/Revolver Ocelot, Ganon, Dr. Wiley/Sigma, Ridley

Oh I almost forgot, Lavos

[trappedintime]

The Hand from super smash bros has gotta be there.
No.1 either dr eggman or bowser

HIGHLY doubt this. He may have been a good villain but he didnt have much of a back story and to be honest, he wasnt that memorable.

[Forever.Zero]

hahaha Psy-Crow just got a mention.

[takkuri]

Kael'thas deserves a mention as most hopeless villian.

I love Zelda, but Ganon is usually pretty terrible. I vote for Gruntilda in that huge war tank from the second Banjo Kazooie. That thing was badass

[Forever.Zero]

Kefka. He's pretty much staple in this list.

[ohitsmark]

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/10/Eggman_pose_29.jpg

Top 5 for sure.

[Forever.Zero]

I never cared a whole lot about Dr. Robotnick. I thought he was kind of a lame villain. You know who was bad-ass? Knuckles.

[colorlesscliche]

Boswer for sure. The Pac Man ghosts always break top 10.

[zachff]

pretty sure big boss will be in the top 15, along with wesker. count it.
f yeah

[WakingTheMisery]

Psy-Crow and Gary Oak should have been #1. Sephiroth will be top 5.

[bandrewes]

HIGHLY doubt this. He may have been a good villain but he didnt have much of a back story and to be honest, he wasnt that memorable.

His mystery is what makes him so terrifying..

[ohitsmark]

http://www.gothicalchemist.com/catalog/umbrellacorpt1.jpg


Not sure if it'll count, but maybe someone from the game?

[WakingTheMisery]

Tyrant, Wesker, and Nemesis will all make the list.

[mht]

how the fuck is Shang Tsung 97? Dude should be way higher he is a Cult Classic Boss

[mht]

i will seriously LOL if GMan makes the top 5

[WakingTheMisery]

how the fuck is Shang Tsung 97? Dude should be way higher he is a Cult Classic Boss

Shao Khan will be somewhere in the 50's-60's. Kazuya, Bison, and Dural will probably be lower.

[TheOtherAndrew]

http://www.gothicalchemist.com/catalog/umbrellacorpt1.jpg


Not sure if it'll count, but maybe someone from the game?
I would love to see the corporation in general just make the list.

[knux]

Sephiroth

[threepunchjim]

The Axem Rangers better be on that.
http://www.rpgamer.com/games/mario/smrpg/art/smrpgart001.gif

Hell yes

[DaveFeelsRight]

how the fuck is Shang Tsung 97? Dude should be way higher he is a Cult Classic Bossign is known to have shit lists

[threepunchjim]

Can we make a list assuming who will be in the tops? I expect to see Sephiroth, Bowser, Liquid Snake/Revolver Ocelot, Ganon, Dr. Wiley/Sigma, Ridley

Oh I almost forgot, Lavos

If Lavos doesn't make top ten I'll shit the bed.

[Mandee, darling]

I can see Atlas/Fontaine (Bioshock) and Big Boss being pretty high on the list. Big Boss could easily be in the top 5.

[Numero10]

ign is known to have shit lists

I just thought I'd let you know that you have the best avatar in history

[evvandflow]

some serious throwbacks on this list

[WakingTheMisery]

Villains I'd like to see:

- Gruntilda (Banjo-Kazooie)
- The Flood (Halo 2)
- Shadow (Sonic)
- Nazi's (Every WWII game ever)
- Sydney Losstarot (Vagrant Story)
- Albedo (Xenosaga)
- Dark Demon (Dynamite Headdy)
- Dracula (Castlevania)
- Darksol (Shining Force)

[aradiantsunrise]

Here's a group that better be on the list since I'm a dork.

http://monstervine.com/wp-content/2008/07/org_xiii.jpg

[Sean Rizzo]

It is a bit too easy but some bosses still were a pain in the ass for me when I played it a couple months ago, haha.

Nope, never played that one.
The only bosses I had any trouble with at all were the giant squid and smithy. XD

[aradiantsunrise]

The only bosses I had any trouble with at all were the giant squid and smithy. XD
Haha, I usually beat the squid on my first chance. Do you remember Jinx?

[DaveFeelsRight]

Here's a group that better be on the list since I'm a dork.

http://monstervine.com/wp-content/2008/07/org_xiii.jpgno i agree, but it should only be xehanort

[Sean Rizzo]

Haha, I usually beat the squid on my first chance. Do you remember Jinx?
Yes, i never felt the need to get the jinx belt ahaha.
no i agree, but it should only be xehanort
Xemnas*

MANSEX!!!!

[aradiantsunrise]

no i agree, but it should only be xehanort
It probably only will be. Axel was great in Chain of Memories though.

[aradiantsunrise]

Yes, i never felt the need to get the jinx belt ahaha.

Xemnas*

MANSEX!!!!
It's still fun to try to beat him, haha.

[Sean Rizzo]

It's still fun to try to beat him, haha.
true.

lol @ xemnas word scramble. I wish axel hadn't died. He deserved to be complete like roxas. D=

[Shin Akuma]

M.Bison ftw!

[ohitsmark]

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/8d/KingDedede200px.jpg

[aradiantsunrise]

He better be on it too ^

[ohitsmark]

He better be on it too ^

I'm hoping so. He was a pain in the ass in Kirby's Adventure.

[Hagysaurus Rex]

If I get some combination of Sephiroth, Bowser, Kefka, Gannon, or Dr Wily in the top ten I'll be happy.

I wonder if the Archdemon's gonna show up on this?

[Mirrorsandfevers]

If Lavos doesn't make top ten I'll shit the bed.
Get your bed ready.

[WakingTheMisery]

Oh. And Kane of the Command and Conquer series.

[aolsux]

Yes, 89 - Sander Cohen. The man is pure unadulterated evil, and so eloquent about it. My favorite boss, if you can call him that, from BioShock.

[Forever.Zero]

http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e13/theonlytrainerever/smrpgart012.gif
As a kid, this guy gave one of the most irritating boss fights in an RPG.

[aradiantsunrise]

He was cake!

[Forever.Zero]

He was cake!
He gave me a hell of a hard time as a kid. When he took all the items I wanted to brake my TV. And that was the only reason he was difficult , halfway through the fight he took the items.
Still a cool character though

[colorlesscliche]

Alma from FEAR, nice!

[Forever.Zero]

The next batch of villains isn't being uploaded from my internet. Can anyone give me a link ?

Oh, and Kaptain K. Rool ( Donkey Kong Country series ) should be there too.

[aradiantsunrise]

Haha, yeah that was a pain in the ass. I liked most of the characters in the game. This guy always seemed to give me a hard time though.

I loved all the characters in that game. They were so classic and fun. Mallow was good for this fight being able to hit the the clone and the real one.Talking about this makes me want to play it again so badly. I'm gonna ebay it when I get some cash together.

http://www.ign.com/videogame-villains/80.html
Thank you

I could probably talk about the game all day, haha. I wish I knew where my damn cartridge was. I've found all my other SNES games after my move except for that one.

[evvandflow]

Your image is showing up as a tripod image hosting label. What did you post?

the many faces of kaptain k rool

[Forever.Zero]

Lavos got....75
As long as he is ON the list.

[Thomas Balkcom]

first post updated.

[aradiantsunrise]

I wonder what number Goombas are at. They HAVE to be on it.

[evvandflow]

i disagree, they were many goombas not just 1...then you gotta include koopas as well

[aradiantsunrise]

Well the regular one of course. They should be in it too. They've been in so many games it wouldn't make sense if they weren't listed.

[trappedintime]

first post updated.

Thank you sir. Forgot to update.

Surprised to see Dark Link even on the list.

[Forever.Zero]

Goro is on today's list. Deserving spot, too. He was a bastard in the original.

[aradiantsunrise]

Nice to see Calypso. Love the Twisted Metal games.

[WakingTheMisery]

Good to see Grunty and Kane get shouts.

[WakingTheMisery]

Does Birdo qualify as a villain?

[trappedintime]

60-51 are up on the first post. Halfway there already.

I lol'ed at "Zombies : Many games"

[aradiantsunrise]

Yeah Nemesis!

[ohitsmark]

60-51 are up on the first post. Halfway there already.

I lol'ed at "Zombies : Many games"


Hahaha, me too.

[mht]

lol @ the tank from L4D being so god damn high, or even on this list for that matter.

Also they are spot on with that cock sucker Liquid Snake, everytime I thought I got rid of that bastard, it never ended with him. Everytime I thought my favorite Revolver Ocelot was going to lead the way in the next sequel, it was god damn Liquid Snake. Blasted Liquid Shithead.

[cirerelleum]

Tom Nook? A villain? Really? I understand he's greedy, but he is by no means a villain.

[WakingTheMisery]

If zombies made the list, Nazi's will be high on there.

[aradiantsunrise]

Guess it's not being updated today.

[Forever.Zero]

No update yet? wtf

[aradiantsunrise]

They missed an entire day. They better post up two sets.

[drewinseries]

Fontaine is only 58? I would have thought i'd be seeing him later down the list.

[trappedintime]

No update today I guess...

[WakingTheMisery]

Lameeee

[aradiantsunrise]

That works for Team Rocket. Nice to see Akuma as well even though he has never really done much.

[WakingTheMisery]

Good to see the Flood on there. Interested to see where Andross falls.

[Forever.Zero]

I was going to suggest Giovanni but putting Team Rocket there in general is good.

[WakingTheMisery]

I could see Mewtwo making the list.

[evvandflow]

was this todays update or yesterday?

[ActorInThisPlay]

Kessler is great...glad he is on there

[aradiantsunrise]

was this todays update or yesterday?
Yesterday.

[aradiantsunrise]

Haha, Bob the Killer Goldfish and the fucking Lich King. I hate WoW now.

[LastDeclaration]

spoilers galore in that list.

[trappedintime]

They should tone down the spoilers a little...

[anthonydarko]

I like that Wario is on the list.

[aradiantsunrise]

Lots of good ones on 30-21.

[WakingTheMisery]

Ultros was a great choice. Dracula should have been higher, I think.

[aradiantsunrise]

Yeah, Dracula should have been in the top 10.

[trappedintime]

Wait for it... MECHA-HITLER! I didnt think they were serious at first. I've never heard of that villain until now.

[Forever.Zero]

Still waiting for an Earthbound character

[DaveFeelsRight]

mecha-hitler is higher than revolver ocelot? lol

and how the fuck is big boss #32?

[kafe]

Was hoping Neo Cortex would be on the list but it's only 30 left so I kinda doubt it. Other than that, I don't know like 90% of that list, ha.

[Numero10]

This list makes me realize that I really don't play that many games

[WakingTheMisery]

I want to see Jason on the list.

[The Summer Ends]

Still waiting for an Earthbound character
we should be best friends

fuck this list, no giygas, no pyramid head, no godot, no edgeworth.....shit's lame

[aradiantsunrise]

There's still 20 left to go, haha.

[The Summer Ends]

There's still 20 left to go, haha.
if they have any of those in the top 20 i will be surprised

[aradiantsunrise]

if they have any of those in the top 20 i will be surprised
Pyramid Head probably has the best chance out of those.

[WakingTheMisery]

After seeing the 80 so far, I'll try and take a stab at the top 20.

Dr. Robotnik/Eggman
Dr. Wily
Bowser
Ganon
Andross
Star Wolf
King Dedede
Birdo
Metal Gear ____
Mewtwo
Nazi's (pick for #1)
Bison
Heihachi
Kazuya
Tyrant
Wesker
Mother


I hate that there are so many fucking Bioshock characters on there.

[aradiantsunrise]

Forgot Sephiroth, he'll definitely be there.

[WakingTheMisery]

Oh duh. I just kinda threw the classics out there and completely forgot.

[WakingTheMisery]

Donkey Kong too.

[The Summer Ends]

Forgot Sephiroth, he'll definitely be there.
he'll probably be there twice since IGN is shitty enough to be like "oh he was a boss in FF7 AND KH!!!!"

[WakingTheMisery]

God. I keep forgetting guys. Fucking Kefka.

[aradiantsunrise]

he'll probably be there twice since IGN is shitty enough to be like "oh he was a boss in FF7 AND KH!!!!"
Fuck that, once is enough haha. I'd like to see Xenmas though. Or just all of OXIII as one ranking.

[aradiantsunrise]

Haha, I'm sure there are other obvious ones missing too.

[WakingTheMisery]

Oh most definitely. Shao Khan is still going to show up. He'll probably be in the 20-11 range.

[aradiantsunrise]

I always thought Shang Tsung was more bad ass. He was ranked so low.

[aradiantsunrise]

Fuck, Scorpion will probably show up too since Sub-Zero is already on there. Ugh.

[WakingTheMisery]

If there weren't 6 Bioshock characters, there might have been room for good choices.

[aradiantsunrise]

Stupid IGN people.

[WakingTheMisery]

When have they been updating the lists?

[aradiantsunrise]

Seemingly like around 5pm est from what I've noticed in the past few days.

[gettopunk]

No Sephiroth =(

[WakingTheMisery]

Dr. Robotnik/Eggman
Dr. Wily
Bowser
Ganon
Andross
Star Wolf
King Dedede
Birdo
Metal Gear ____
Mewtwo
Nazi's (pick for #1)
Bison
Heihachi
Kazuya
Tyrant
Wesker
Mother

Definites are Sephiroth, Bowser, Mother, Ganon. The rest are up in the air.

[aradiantsunrise]

Is it really necessary for them to put in Joker/Mike Tyson/movie&comic villains and whatnot? Wasn't Arkham Asylum like the only Batman game that got any praise?

[WakingTheMisery]

Mike Tyson deserves to be on there. The Joker does not.

[aradiantsunrise]

Fair enough. I never played that game.

[Forever.Zero]

I really wish they would focus on video game characters and not characters from movies/ series ( Batman / Star Wars ).
And heavy on the fucking spoilers. I didn't get to play Resident Evil 5. Fucking assholes at IGN

[evvandflow]

Kerrigan, nice. probably my favorite video game ever..

[WakingTheMisery]

Hahahaha fuck. I knew, just knew, that GlaDOS was going to throw me for a loop. Nazi's at 6 though? Come onnnnn.

No Heihachi, Andross, Tyrant.

[Whalejaw]

The top 5 are actually pretty respectable choices. I can't say the rest of the list really deserves any merit though. It seems like they just pulled things out of a hat for most of the time.

[WakingTheMisery]

Not a single Bioshock character should have made that list.

[anthonydarko]

Nazis should of been number one.

[aradiantsunrise]

Fucking Bioshock. Number one seems random to me.

[sweepthenation]

Not a single Bioshock character should have made that list.

OK, first, major props on the avatar. Just got back from the Wachovia Center.

Second, I agree Frank Fontaine and Sofia Lamb shouldn't have (Lamb was ranked way too high at 40) but Andrew Ryan as a villian, and a philosophical opposite, was an amazing character. He really made you wonder what could have happened to that city. I am biased because Bioshock is my favorite game, granted, but I do think Ryan has merit.

[Whalejaw]

Not a single Bioshock character should have made that list.

Fucking Bioshock. Number one seems random to me.

What's with the Bioshock hate?

[aradiantsunrise]

What's with the Bioshock hate?
There's like 7 characters from it on the list. Really unnecessary.

[WakingTheMisery]

What's with the Bioshock hate?
:yawn: 30 years of gaming and some of the greatest of all time don't even get a mention.

I will agree with that. Ryan was probably the only character in the game I can agree with being on there. I feel like putting it at 9 was a bit of a hyperbole.

[Whalejaw]

There's like 7 characters from it on the list. Really unnecessary.

I can agree with that.
:yawn: 30 years of gaming and some of the greatest of all time don't even get a mention.


I will agree with that. Ryan was probably the only character in the game I can agree with being on there. I feel like putting it at 9 was a bit of a hyperbole.

I kind of skimmed the list. What do you think was overlooked? Like I said before, its kind of like they just pulled most of them out of a hat.

Heihachi/Kazuya/Devil Jin (Tekken)
Mewtwo (Pokemon)
Shao Kahn/Scorpion (Mortal Kombat)
Birdo (Mario)
Star Wolf/Andross (Star Fox)
Abyss (Marvel vs Capcom 2)
Valgas (Power Stone)
Pyramid Head (Silent Hill)
Nobunaga (Onimusha)
Jason (Friday the 13th)
King Dedede (Kirby)

I could go on for days.

Wow. That list just had some HUGE fucking flaws. Totally agree with the Star Wars, Joker and shit like that being on the list. It's not that hard to take a villain created from a movie or whatever, into a game. Doesn't really need much, yet they out listed other characters thought of just for the game.

List was fucked up.

I would have liked to see:
Organization XIII (Kingdom Hearts)
Axem Rangers or basically any villain from Super Mario RPG:LOTSS
Vergil (Devil May Cry 3) or anyone really from those games as well

That's just me though.

Dinosaurs could have been a nice one too.
