Hers just a few of the most memorable in my opinion. No order. Post yours, and add a pic at least.

Dr Neo Cortex, Crash Bandicoot Franchise

Still remember the guy? What can i say, just look at him, hes ****ing insane.

Dr Neo Cortex Battle~

Sephiroth FF7

"Sephiroth's strength is unreal. He is far stronger in reality than any story you might have heard about him."—Cloud Strife to his party

The most badass villian in video game history and one of my favorites. From the theme to the name itself, no other villian comes close. Tell me any other villian that has an orchestrated song with a chorus singing in latin his name.

Sephiroth Batlle FF7 CC

Sin / Yu Yevon, FFX

"He who crafts the souls of the dead into unholy armor. An armor called Sin. Clad in it, Yu Yevon is invincible."—Grand Maester Mika

One is Sin, the greatest giant monster ever. Terrible underrated for falsely being acused of being nothing more than a giant whale. When hes way more than that.The other is even more underrated due to the fact hispersonality is also utterly unknown as he has no dialogue in his single appearance, also, his appearance is somewhat of a mystery, as he is never shown in human form.Mystery is the right word for these 2 the entire game. You dont know nothing about them but in the end they end up being the villians with more backstory in the entire franchise.Probably my favorite " Villians " of all time tied with Sephiroth, but in this case these arent really villians.

Nemesis Resident Evil 3

What an ugly son of a ****. He scared me every time he appeared in RE 3 when i was a kid. He apperead out of nowhere when everything was calm just to scare the hell out of you. Most memorable monster iv ever seen. All his moments in RE3 were great.

Nemesis at Police Station

Liquid Ocelot MGS

Liquid wasnt that memorable to me IMO, but Liquid Ocelot defenetly is. Hes evil and has one of the best boss battles ever in MGS4.

Psycho Mantis MGS

MGS is well known for having some of the most memorable bosses, altough MGS4 failed in this area, Psycho Mantis is a masterpiece from Kojima. Not really the guy himself, but the boss battle. Seriously, he could read your memory card and tell you what games you had been playing. You had to change your memory card to port 2 so he couldnt read your moves and you could beat him. Pure genius. Maybe the most original boss battle of all time. Heck, it defenetly is.

Psycho Mantis fight MGS Remake LOL

Tekken, Heihachi and Kazuya MishimaIn case you dont know Heahchi Voice Actor died yesterday. RIP. But i think these are no doubt an icon in video games villians. Kazuya is ****ing crazy and evil.Thats it, thers many others good villians, im sure you will name a few, like Kefka that i dislike and is terrible overrated, but im tired of typing.

Most recently I'd say that the Joker from Arkham Asylum and the Scarecrow were awesome villians

U had some good ones tho. Dr. Cortex was epic.

Joker and scarcrow arent really gaming villians. They already existed before that.

Meh. The final battle with him is quite memorable; the battle, not Kefka himself.

Sephiroth is definitely not the most badass. He stabbed a woman in the back :| While she was praying :| Then there's all the "mommy" issues and... just no. He looks cool and is powerful, but beyond that there's no appeal to him.

But if he didn't stab the woman in the back she would've killed him. :|

So avoiding being killed by Aeris makes you badass :| Yes I realize who Aeris was, but put that in perspective.

I think the 'badass-ness' comes from the fact that he's hard to kill. That particular scene I think was just to make you hate him more than you already do.

Eh, maybe to an extent. Like I said, he's powerful, but there's things about him like that scene and his overall issues that make him less appealing. When you think about why he's powerful too, really its hard to see him as "badass". Powerful, yes. Very much so. But not badass.

Not if you have Double cut / Knights of the round .etc. FF hasnt really had a Memorable boss since Kefka.. And 13 seems to follow this trend.

Easy. Badass relates to a character's actions and personality. How powerful they are relates to what its like to fight them and how physically strong they are (or other forms of strength, like magic). Good examples would be people like Ezio of Assassin's Creed. He could be considered badass, but he's hardly "powerful". Or the opposite can be seen in characters like Zant of Twilight Princess. He's absurdly powerful, but he's hardly badass.

No question the following 3 in no particular order.

1.) Ganondorf (and all incarnations).

2.) Bowser

3.) Dr. Robotnik (or...Eggman if you prefer..)

And, Robotnik still has the most epic boss themes in all of gaming...period.

Count Bleck, all of Super Paper Mario's villian cast were memorable, but Count Bleck in particular was the stand out villain imo.

Kefka is more memorable than Sephiroth IMO.
