Gaming Favorite Video Game Enemy

[satan665]

Final Fantasy was what i had in mind starting this thread to begin with, mostly because the character design is fantastic. Not all games can or should spend lots of time and money on design like FF does, but it really pays off when they do.

Mantis from Metal gear was great! The whole controller switching and memory card/ mind reading part was so original, I don't think anyone has done anything like that before or since.

I would have to say Sin from final fantasy 10. I thought the way they made like jecht as u made your way through spira looking at his spheres and showing you he was a good guy afterall was a great twist,

Made me actually care about him when i was killing him and plus the cut scene at the end rapped it all up nicely i thought.

I previously started a post in the anime lounge regarding the villains of a show, asked for people to list their favorites and tell why, I've decided to do it in this forum as well, I love RPG's and some of the villains are the collest characters I've had the pleasure of playing, list your favorite villain from a video game, and tell why

my favorite would probably Sephiroth, even when I was posting for anime Sephiroth came to mind as an amazing villain, although he does die, he was by far one of my favorite villains from the games I've played

[color=#4B0082]I've merged this with the old Favorite Video Game Enemy thread, since they're pretty much identical in topic. It's an old thread, but still relevant.

As for my favorite enemy. ... I'm not sure, really. I've never given much thought to which is my most favorite, but there are a few that I really like.

In regards to random monster type enemies, I've always liked Darknuts from the Zelda series. Fighting a room full of blue Darknuts, with two fireball-spitting statues in the center, was one of the hardest things in the game. You had to be really good at dodging and stabbing with your sword, so as to get around to the side/behind them since they're impervious to frontal attacks. Killing a full room of them without taking a hit and without using sword beams is such an awesome accomplishment.

They're also cool in The Wind Waker and The Minish Cap. I'm really glad they brought back Darknuts for those games, and I hope they continue to have them in future releases. They're so much more fun to fight than the Iron Knuckles (from Zelda II) that were brought back in Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask.

I also have to give a mention to Desbrekos (can you guess why?), those huge skeletal fish from Zelda: Majora's Mask. They actually grab on to you with their jaws, then drag you around underwater for a while before letting you go. Definitely the best original enemy from MM.[/color]

I've always liked the eggs and hot dogs and whatever else was in Burger Time. There's just something about rampaging food that I find really funny. Also, stunning the enemies for a few seconds by salting them is really funny, as well lol.

I also like the Stalfos in Ocarina of Time, because they're really fun to fight. I like the enemies like the Lizalfos, Stalfos, and Iron Knuckles that enable you to take full advantage of the Z-Targeting. I wish there were more Stalfos fights in Ocarina of Time. :(

[COLOR=DarkRed][SIZE=1]My pick for the all time best enemy in a video game, ever, is... The Schmoo! From Castlevania: Symphony of the Night! These little guys not only have an awesome name, but if you're lucky, they drop the best wepon in the game.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[SIZE=1]Interesting, most interesting.

I have to admit that I'd be hard pressed to pick a single enemy from every game that I've played and label them my "favourite". There are so many enemies, and as Desbreko pointed out they don't even have to be "main enemies", that are exceptionally well done and very cool. However this is a favourites thread and I guess I have to cut the waffling and get down to my usual listing off bit.

[b]Desann:[/b] I always enjoyed the main villain from [B]Jedi Outcast[/B], there was something about his mannerisms and voice that make him a very enjoyable enemy. Even though Desann has fallen to the Dark Side, and was for better or worse a dinosaur there seemed to be great intelligence in what he did [spoiler]as proved when he pretended to kill Jan in order to get Kyle to give away the location to the Valley of the Jedi.[/spoiler] His voice was great, it reminded me of Vader, but also had an aggressive and confident tone which suited the character very well.

[b]Darknuts:[/b] Though more specifically the Mighty variety, I found the Darknuts from Legend of Zelda: The Wink Waker to be the best enemies in the game, they were one of the few, if not only enemies who could seem to fight you on a decent level. Their design was also top-notch, they genuinely looked like a fierce enemy and had the sword skills to back it up, I loved the way their capes would sway at their fought you.

[b]Darth Sion:[/b] Yes another Star Wars character, but this time from the Knights of the Old Republic series. Even though I stated originally I didn't like Sion I had to admit that playing through the game a few times has given me a new respect for this character. Sion is interesting not because of his look [even though it is very distinctive] but for his motivation and drive, [spoiler]even though he betrayed Kreia/Darth Traya he still longs for her[/spoiler] support and respect. And as such his drive to kill you is only based on the fact that he feels threatened by your hold over her. His character is fascinating once you get beyond his simple "I'm a Sith and want to kill you" complex.

[b]Steven:[/b] I always found the Champion from Pokémon Sapphire to be a great final boss, he doesn't come along with this whole "I'm so much better than you, prepare to lose" line, instead he wants you to hit him with everything you've got. Steven had the respect factor that earned him huge points, that and he wasn't really interested in a title, he was interested in the betterment of his Pokémon, and in fact the betterment of all Pokémon as served by his attempts to help you throughout the game. Steven was the kind of Boss you wanted at the end of the game, the inevitable fight.

I'd list more but my brain isn?t working as well as I'd hoped, as I just noticed that three of the names on my list begin with D.[/SIZE]
