Bad-ass video game villains

Mother Brain might have been the big boss, but Ridley’s king.

even though he is not a boss, Bald Bull could not have been stopped by puny little Mac.

Quake 2’s Makron.

That’s not true at all though, he left himself wide open during his “bull charge.”

Maybe someone can explain to me why Hitler was the end villain in Bionic Commando. I never did get that.

Kefka from Final Fantasy VI was kind of a badass. Played himself off as pathetic and turned out to be really evil and creepy.

Because he’s Hitler and everyone hates Hitler. Right? RIGHT???

Sephiroth, man! Sephiroth is definitely a badass villain.

Oh, and Guts Man from the original Mega Man.

And even though he’s a fat guy clad in a hawaiian shirt, Starkweather from Manhunt was badass simply because he made you brutalize all those crazy people.

Bald Bull was nothing compared to the likes of Hoy Quarlow. He wasn’t in the original Punch-out!!, but he did make you realize that Narcis Prince was just a tease and that the Special Circuit was going to hand your ass to you over and over again in Super Punch-out!!.

Honorable mention goes to Storm Eagle. The character himself wasn’t a badass, but his stage music certainly was.

SHODAN, motherfuckers!

Shenmue’s Lan Di. Badass martial arts master. Lets hope Ryo actually ever fights this guy. Are you listening Suzuki-san?

Altho not very difficult…Gorro was pretty bad ass lookin…in fact, he was outright creepy.

Purple Tentacle…Day of the Tentacle…

I mean cmon! He was a tentacle…WITH ARMS!

His voice was da shit, thanks Brian Cox. His little pet, Piggsy, wasn’t that bad either. Sick fucking freak.

Super Macho Man.

Oh, wait. I apologize. I thought this was the LAME ass vilians thread.

Screw Dr. Wily. Wood Man has the greatest stage music in videogame history, defends himself with razor-sharp leaves and commands a legion of robotic ostriches. His Tree Trunk Armor +15 is pretty wicked, too.

I’m a little rusty on that, but I think that the Japanese version of Bionic Commando has you fighting Nazis, swastikas and all. The good folks at Nintendo didn’t want us to be scared/offended. . . the hell if I know.

The Nazi stuff was removed.

Dracula may hve been the boss in Castlevania, but Death bends him over the table and gives it to him nice and rough 7 days a week.

Regarding the Mega Man series, no one beats Doc Robot, who emulated all eight Mega Man 2 robot masters. In the Mega Man X series, it’s all about Boomer Kuwanger, if only for his name. What the fuck is a kuwanger, anyway?

Also, isn’t Ridley a female? I could’ve sworn that was the case.
