Your Top 3 favorite villains of all time

[snail]

I couldn't decide the order but here is a vague list
- Handsome Jack (Borderlands)
- Lusamine (Pokemon SM)
- Edward Sallow (Fallout New Vegas) though there is no real "villain" in new vegas, I feel like Caesar is one.

1. Bowser (Mario series). No matter how dedicated he's been to kidnapping Peach and commanding an army, the quality of the epic struggle between him and Mario hasn't degraded in value for over 30 years.
2. Gruntilda (Banjo-Kazooie). The entire fight was one huge build up from start to finish. There are very few battles that were equally challenging and entertaining. You knew the stakes going in and the payoff when you beat her was worth it. A great villain for one of the best n64 titles.
3. Dr. Wily (Rockman/Megaman series). I like classic villains that never give up trying to win and Wily fits this to a T. Part of the big Three of Nintendo villains, you know what you're getting into with a Megaman game and you're still into it decades later.

[Darksol]

Darksol
Sephiroth
Valmar

With honorable mentions to
Cardinal Albert Simon
Joseph Seed

[TheTuque]

Mithos Yggdrasill (Tales of Symphonia)
Saturos and Menardi (Golden Sun)
Lechuck (Monkey Island series)

1. SHODAN from System Shock. There's something to be said about her manipulativeness.
2. Viktoria from Thief 1 and 2. Not many villains straddle Neutral Evil and True Neutral like Viktoria.
3. The Master from Fallout 1. A deluded madman who wanted to only wanted to bring Man to the next step of evolution.

I know this thread asked for only three, but I'd also like to give special mentions to Deidranna (Jagged Alliance 2) and Ravel (Planescape: Torment). Both were really well-written, with Deidranna being one of fthe most hilarious over-the-top villains turned up to 11, and Ravel being such a conflicting character.

Grigori from Dragon's Dogma

Zinyak from Saints Row 4

Ocelot from Metal Gear Solid 4

[Zeoinx]

1 Dark Falz - Phantasy Star Series (It always came back, had multiple unique forms, and was the ultimate form of evil in the Phantasy Star Series, and in PSO, the boss fight was really fun)
2 Dr. Robotnik - Classic Sonic Titles (Always was unique, and was really fun to fight growing up and getting better and better at engaging)
3 CyberDemon - Classic Doom Titles (Lets be honest, the first time you ever beat this thing, you feel satisfyed as all heck)

[zeorhymer]

Kefka - FFVI
Revan - KotR
Xehanort - Kingdom Hearts

[MrQMac]

Surprised no one has my No. on their list but anyways:

1. Gygas, from Earthbound (Mother 2). Stumbling into the last room and that entire fight was so memorable when I was a kid.
2. Sephiroth, from FFVII. I played that game as a young, love struck pre-teen and Aerith was my first video game crush.
3. King Wart, from Super Mario Bros. 2. The boss didn't stick out so much as the euphoria I felt from finally beating SMB 2 with my older brother.
