  • You know what we love, here at Team TripleJump? A proper good villain. You know, the sort that can really get under your skin with their evil plots, vile schemes, and maniacal actions. But which video game villains are the most despicable of all? There’s only one way to settle this… A big list!

    • @acantilado
      @acantilado Рік тому +1

      Love that there was an Ace Attorney villain on this list! The first trilogy at least is truly fantastic. I think most hardcore fans of this series would probably choose Godot over Van Karma though - the catch is that he’s not introduced until the 3rd game so a lot of people may not have experienced him. He’s not particularly high on the evil scale, but he’s clearly one of the best villains of all time

    • @isaaccollins4533

      I am sad, Count Bleck was a great villain with a sad backstory with a presumably a happy ending but Dimentio made a great impression of a villain but one of my more favorites is Team Star from Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

    • @Feelthefelt
      @Feelthefelt Рік тому +2

      This is probably too obscure for you all but AM from "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream" is the most terrifying of all of the AI villains because of its pure sadism. Also, as stated elsewhere in the comments, That Dog from Duck Hunt is a bastard.

    Imagine including Wizpig and not including King K. Rool at all, at that point imagine if they included Fawful and didn’t include Bowser at all, imagine if they included Metal Sonic but didn’t include Dr. Eggman at all, imagine if they included Ghirahim but didn’t include Ganondorf at all, and finally imagine if they included Culex and didn’t include Sephiroth at all, that’s how King K. Rool’s exclusion from this video feels.

    My Final Fantasy favorite would be Caius Ballad from XIII-2. While ending all of life and time would be considered more than just an overreaction under normal circumstances, I can't help but sympathize, knowing what he went through, having to see the one person he is literally fated to protect die over and over again ad infinitum.
    The true stroke of genius though is that he not only succeeds in a wonderful gut punch of an ending, but that the protagonists never had a chance to win in the first place, dancing in the palm of his hand all along, as is emphasized through the non-choice you are given after the final fight to spare him and the paradox endings.
    Also his musical theme with its variations is among Final Fantasy's best.
    If there's anything unfortunate about him, it's that his character design is less than intimidating and that he's stuck in the middle part of a trilogy that doesn't belong to Final Fantasy's high points.
    And that Lightning Returns destroys the beautifully bleak ending I mentioned. Always refused to play that...

    Since we can’t do a battle royale, I’m doing the next best thing. I am going to take every villain in this list, have them face each other gauntlet style with the help of ChatGPT, and keep it going until there is an ultimate winner. Wish me luck!
    EDIT 1: 14:00 Elden Ring came out in 2022, after ChatGPT’s database ends, so simulating that fight is impossible, but so far 343 Guilty Spark has emerged victorious in every battle so far, so let’s assume he wins this one too.
    EDIT 2: 23:24 Despite me saying that there had to be a decisive winner, Kessler proved to be the first person capable of drawing with Guilty Spark. I reestablished my rule, and Guilty Spark won anyway. But he may be tiring out!… Maybe!
    EDIT 3: 31:13 Another fight that’s impossible to simulate since ChatGPT doesn’t know 2022 video games. But… yeah, Guilty Spark’s still going. He hasn’t lost yet.
    EDIT 4: 32:48 Somehow we got another draw. I’m going to have the AI simulate it again…. Okay, it didn’t even simulate a battle. It just said Guilty Spark won. I’m not satisfied with that. I’m going to try this one more time… Guilty Spark wins. The streak continues!
    EDIT 5: 36:52 I swear, if THIS was the villain that dethroned Guilty Spark, I would have lost my mind. But, well, he didn’t. The streak remains alive.
    EDIT 6: 41:10 I had to run this fight three times because ChatGPT wasn’t understanding the “one boss absorbs the other’s powers” mechanic. Each time Guilty Spark won. I’m starting to think Guilty Spark is unbeatable.
    EDIT 7: 59:15 When 343 Guilty Spark beat this villain, I took a short break from the gauntlet setup and had him fight other powerful foes. 343 Guilty Spark beat the entire Greek Pantheon, drew with God, and finally lost to Chuck Norris. I… I don’t even know what to say anymore.

    Okaaay... Maybe some of the villains I instantly think of are not as iconic as I thought... Did I miss them on this list or were they really not mentioned?
    Mundus
    Luca Blight
    Dhoulmagus
    Jacqueline Natla
    Nobunaga Oda
    Xenomorph
    Mitochondria Eve
    Does anyone know them? I can't be the only one. Come on, guys, at least Luca?! I thought he was widely known as one of the most despicable villains in gaming history! 😭

    Bison listed higher that Khan? Wtf are you thinking? You said "If we were to list all of his misdeeds, we'd be here all day." in regards to Bison. Yup. Correct. About one full day. As Bison only has around 35 years of experience being evil, so one day might just cover it. Kahn? You might need about 400 years, if you don't sleep, eat, breathe, or take any breaks at all. Kahn is over 10,000 years old at the whole dominating entire planes of existence thing. With an iron grip on all of their daily lives and all with in it, in literally thousands of universes, the grand lord is KAHN. And has been for 10 MILLENIA. Bison cannot even conquer ONE world. Kahn has near infinite dominion over a few thousand universes. That's not even comparable. Seriously? Galactus should be jealous. Thanatos needs to get in the back of the line at villain amature hour in comparison. Darkseid is a pale shadow beside his brilliant shining star of EVIL. And he hits like a truck, cheats at his own game, and has multiple combos that do between 45% and 80% of your hp.

    • @CrazeeAdam
      @CrazeeAdam Рік тому

      I would say if there were going to be any more it would be Umbrella themselves, one of the RE8 villains (Heisenberg is pretty iconic and the other houses are pretty tragic) or if you include them as one thing, the Baker Family. Like the new RE games were pretty good at giving real character to all the baddies

    Abby has no sympathy from me because I stand by the first telling of the group not the stupid rewrite to try to make me like her and justify Joel’s death

    • @CrazeeAdam
      @CrazeeAdam Рік тому

      Joel's death was justified.... as much as anyone likes Joel, he was NOT good person. We sympathize with him for the same reason you should feel empathy and sympathy towards Abby, someone was taken away from him in a ruthless manner for no real good reason, accept there was even more a reason the solider shot Joel and Sarah, it was an order, one the Solider didn't want to follow but had to.. Also, Abby is in fact more a protagonist in Pt. 2 than anyone else. She has the greatest story arc, the greatest change, understanding, and overall makes the most mature decisions of any playable character in the game after learning from mistakes. She's not a perfect person of course, but she's real and not the monster you seem to paint her as.

    Lack of any of Bioware's fantasy RPG villain is pretty painful. No Sarevok, Jon Irenicus or Loghain? Baldur's Gate series basically kickstarted Bioware's legend.
    Meanwhile we get Sans who is iconic, but can he really be considered a villain when he only opposes us if we are the murderous assholes?

    I cannot believe you don't have Clockwork from the Sly Cooper Series. Some of the villains in this list are derived from pure hate, and to me, no other villain takes the cake more than the malicious metal owl. His actions are motivated by his hate of the whole Cooper Family bloodline, and he would stop at nothing to end the legacy. He is the mastermind who bands together with other villains to finish the job in the first game. Then the second game, the entire plot is trying to prevent him from coming back to life, which shows the true FEAR the protagonist (Sly Cooper) really has for him. He is one of the most underrated villains of all time, and every future villain in that series took inspiration from his hate.

    Soul Calibur fan sitting here, watching the list go on, the numbers getting higher and higher, thinking that my one big vote wasn't going to make the list. That everyone forgot about how phenomenal of a villainous and evil force Nightmare/Soul Edge actually are (kinda like how Bamco has forgotten about the series altogether these days). Because there was _no way_ they'd make it above the likes of Wesker, Dracula, Ridley, Phantom Mantis, Pyramid Head, Kerrigan, or _Sans._
    Then I get to #24 and realize, to my _great_ surprise, that they're not only on the list, but _high_ on the list!
    Thanks for proving me wrong, Internet. Every once in a blue moon, you do something pretty good, like remember how fucking dope the SC franchise is.

    Pokey "Porky" Minch from the Japan-only Game Boy Advance game Mother 3, while not quite as terrifying as Giygas, is still a notorious villain. Sure, he's incredibly annoying in Earthbound (a.k.a. Mother 2), but by Mother 3, he becomes worse. He is a horrible psychopath.

    No Peter, you're completely right. As a father of 3 I can confirm that indeed "don't throw your child off the top of a tall structure" is pretty high up in the child rearing handbook's list of do's and dont's..
    Me and my ex-wife added a new one to the list when our younger daughter was about 18 months old "always watch your toddler when they are playing outside. Because to a toddler, a snail (including shell) can actually appear quite appetising.."
    Likewise when we told that particular incident to a close friend who also had small children, she said.. "Yeah.. add caramelised cat poo to the list as well.."

    Great list, however, it is almost criminal that you left off Dr. Nefarious from Ratchet and Clank. Also, Ornstein & Smough aren't so much villains as they are soldiers performing their duty. They serve as the biggest hurdle to prove that any undead are actually worthy of succeeding Lord Gwyn. If you want a better choice for a villain from Dark Souls, then a better choice would be Gwyn the Lord of Cinder. A god who cursed Humanity with the Darksign and artificially extended his age of fire because he was afraid of what was going to come after. This act is what leads directly to the absolutely terrible state of the world in Dark Souls.
