  • 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! TO BE CLEAR, these entries are in no particular order, meaning that the villain in the number one spot isn’t necessarily any dastardlier than the one in the 101 spot. This video is simply a chronicle of all of the video game wrongdoers that we (and you) believe should be celebrated for their various misdeeds.

      @acantilado Год назад +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

      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 Год назад +3

      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.

    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.

    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.."

    Technically, not only was he one of Kain's lieutenants, but he was almost the, if not the, equal of Kain, meaning he was as much a bad guy as Kain all along. He just never wanted to go against Kain, but was forced into it.

    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!

    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.

    Spoilers for Radiant Historia, which was remade for the 3DS and is the best DS AND 3DS game, period, in my opinion
    Heiss is an amazing villain. A massive part of his villainy is, in fact, done out of love for the main character, who is his nephew. He uses time travel to try and make things work out so that The Ritual, which requires a human sacrifice, would not be carried out. Minor detail, The Ritual is necessary to stop an eldritch monster from sucking all the life out of the world. He was designated as a sacrifice, but escaped, and so Ernst was supposed to be the next one-but Heiss kidnapped him and wiped his memories so he would become Stocke-our main character. Heiss is Stocke's uncle, and so carries out much of his villainy to PROTECT Stocke-with no regard for the fate of the world.
    Then in the true ending of the original game, he saved Stocke from The Ritual by making himself the sacrifice. In the remake, he changes his ways and survives, and the eldritch monster is killed so The Ritual never has to be carried out again. (and there's even more stuff going on with him)

    • @CrazeeAdam
      @CrazeeAdam Год назад

      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.

    Armored Core 4:For Answer. You, the player. If you choose to do the game's "Destruction" ending, you will find yourself personally responsible for the murder of 30 million civilians and that your actions have doomed humanity to a slow death, trapped on a planet that is no longer able to support human life. They even give you a final mission where 4 good guy mech pilots are sent to ambush and kill you, essentially making YOU the end of game boss. 😅
    P.s. Donkey Kong isn't a villain. He's an escaped part of "Jump Man's" collection of animals. Animals he mistreats. Donkey Kong escaped and shnaffled JM's girl as revenge. So technically Jump Man is the villain and we're helping him avoid the repercussions of his animal cruelty. 🤷‍♂️
