[COLOR="DarkOrchid"][FONT="Times New Roman"]Not going to gush about how pretty he is, but he wore a mask for the first half of how we knew him and that was pretty awesome.

But I enjoyed his tortured lack of humanity, and while his voice actor for the English release was a whiny little bastard, I found his voice in the Japanese version and surprise surprise, it was much better. He's like an angry teenage version of Sephiroth, but a lot more vulnerable. Thus, dating material.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[FONT=Calibri]Couple of names come to mind for me.

First up is [URL="http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s182/Artysci_FW/Nikana/devil_may_cry_vergil.jpg"][COLOR="Blue"]Vergil[/COLOR][/URL], the [I]other[/I] son of Sparda. Vergil is essentially the exact opposite of Dante: he does not speak or move more than is necessary; his dress is refined and carefully chosen; he is smooth and patient and the epitome of power through precision. And even though fighting him is an absolute *****, you just can't help but look forward to every time he shows up.

Personally I like his coat.

. . . and vest shirt and tie. > >

Other one I thought of is the infamous [URL="http://supersmashbrosbrawlvideogame.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/starwolf5lv.png"][COLOR="Blue"]Wolf O'Donnell[/COLOR][/URL] of Star Wolf, even if he's now an overused meme. With probably over a hundred individual 64-game story-mode completions under my belt, the only thing I always disliked about the most lucrative stage path (which is [I]not[/I] the one listed in the Nintendo Power guide, actually, dunno what that team was thinking) is that I only got to face Star Wolf once, at the very end on Venom 2. To this day I firmly believe that a wing of Fox, Falco, Wolf and Leon could probably shred the combined forces of Corneria and Andross and probably even the Empire, provided the old rabbit was overseeing things from Great Fox.

I also always wondered why Wolf was on that particular side to begin with. Best I can come up with is he was a merc and got the lunatic floating monkey head to pay him 90% up-front.[/FONT]

[size=1][color=grey]Can't believe I forgot about him, and I'm getting ready to start playing that game again. And I really can't give a better explanation than what was already posted. The guy is cutthroat and straight to the point. Those are always the best type of villains (need more heroes like that too)

I also like his coat, too.[/size][/color]

[FONT="Microsoft Sans Serif"][SIZE="1"]Ho'kay, I've not [I]quite[/I] beaten Ace Attorney Investigations yet, but I've played enough of it to discover a rather despicable human being that I can't help but find myself attached to.

This chica [URL="http://i44.tinypic.com/2ijj4fc.gif"][U]right[/U][/URL] [URL="http://i42.tinypic.com/140cbcl.gif"][U]here[/U][/URL], [spoiler]Calisto Yew/Shih-na/whatever her name really is[/spoiler] [[B]MASSIVE[/B] AAI SPOILERS WOAH CRAP. Seriously. Don't make the same mistake I did and spoil it for yourself way far in advance.]

Why do I like [spoiler]her[/spoiler]? It's...tough to say, really. There's just something really appealing about [spoiler]her[/spoiler] that I can't quite put my finger on. I guess it's the same deal as [spoiler]Dahlia, delightfully evil, downright irredeemable, but just so darn likable. Capcom just has this weird track record of making likable female villains...[/spoiler] And then I had a bit of a fridge moment when I realized [spoiler]we don't even know what she actually looks like, and I find that REALLY fascinating.[/spoiler]

Oh, and [spoiler]she[/spoiler] has a [URL="http://i43.tinypic.com/ohr80o.gif"][U]sufficiently creepy breakdown animation[/U][/URL] [also [B]big spoilers[/B]] that will supply my night terrors for the next three weeks. THANKS, CAPCOM!!![/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT="Times New Roman"]After playing the [STRIKE]lackluster[/STRIKE] somewhat interesting [B][I][U]Biohazard 5[/B][/I][/U]; I have to say that Wesker is once again my new favourite villain. Not because [SPOILER]he's practically immortal til the end of the game[/SPOILER] and he has that odd accent... It's due to the odd accent that he delivers the most hilarious lines about a plague I've ever heard.

Wesker: I have [B][I]Uroboros[/B][/I]... And nothing can stop me!
Stark: I'm sorry Wesker, but it sounds like you have an STD... I can't take you seriously anymore.[/FONT]

Resident Evil has always been the master of unintentionally hilarious dialog, especially four.
