The Old Skool Cult of Kefka, bitches!

[Arkaine Ultimus]

Other than Kefka, who was your favorite baddie, be it old skool or new?

Nice Topic. I think its time I share a baddie here.

Like Loco here, this is probably going out on a limb as well, but I just cant help but praise this character. This character is...

Justice.

The Antagonist of the Guilty Gear series (the character's origin, the first GG for the PSX), he lead a hundred years war against the humans. If anything, this Gear (that's what Justice is), fought and won all battles, except he had about 17 ties with the rival, Kliff (human, and leader of the Holy knights), and then was sealed in the void (but he got out at one time), and still kept on going (but soon kicked the can when Sol Badguy came).

He was revived in a Tournament (the blood of the fighters revived due to a ritual made by a human turned gear named Testament), but then Sol came again, and defeated him.

personally, he had one of the coolest designs for a villain (PERSONAL THOUGHT) Ive seen in video gaming so far.

(Im going to post a pic of him, its low Q, but I had to keep under the F-limit.)

(On a non-related note, I remember we used to have a Currently Playing list at the bottom of our posts. Care to reinstate the tradition?)

Currently Playing: FFVII, Soul Calibur II (GC)

yeah, you should know that I STARTED the tradition, so you should thank me for the idea! (not really if you dont want to, lol)

Currently playing: Thunder Force IV (Hard Mode, going for 1CC baby!), Cho Ren Sha 68k (another good name is PAIN IN ASS, but im starting to get the gist of it, and its extremely fun too despite being difficult.)

Niiiiiiiiiiiice. I remember that conversation we had about him.

Yeah, Neo, I s'pose you were in the OSFFC; sorry I don't remember much of that member list.

Heh, well, Seymour wasn't exactly my FAVORITE baddie besides Kefka. As far as the other FFs were concerned, yeah. Out of all games in general? I'd think that award would go to one of a few really awesome guys... the Anti-Uni from Uniracers.

This little cycle was demented. It took me months to finally beat that game because of him. Not only is he faster than the hardest-level cycle, but he cheats as well. Things like reversed controls, invisible tracks, scrolling backgrounds (that make you want to puke), low gravity, and other such devious tricks forced me to learn every single centimeter of every single track so that I could be prepared for anything at any moment. Months. Seriously. I daresay I have yet to see a bad guy nearly as innovative as this pain-in-the-ass unicycle was. Mad props to the game programmers.

Not many peolpe will have played Grandia II, but that had a pretty awesome villain. Doesn't reveal himself till towards the end of the game, so I'm not gonna dig into any spoilers, but that guy was twisted.

As for FF villains, well, I'm kinda for Seymour aswell, Colt, so you aint alone. I think until you fight him for the second time he's a really good character, and works really well in the story, then he just gets completely messed up and beomes more of an Ultros type opponent like you say. Not that I've got anything against Ultros that is, that cotopus owned ^_^

[Walter Sobchak]

Hmm, I was in OSFFC, so here I am.

Ultros was so much cooler than Kefka. I hated Kefka, but seeing Ultros was like seeing the candyman. He was just so jolly.

Every time you fought him, he screwed up things other than wasting your time, like with the play and Setzer. Kefka did nothing, except for change the world, but in the end, so what?

My favorite other baddie would be Golbez from Final Fantasy IV. Oh, by the way, we are two doors over.

*dodges BOLT3 from Loco for not posting sooner*

Wazzabi!!, im actually in shock to see both Dau and Arkaine posting again, there must be a god after all but *ahem* moving on.

As you all well know, i been getting into FFXI something chronic lately, lol, and inbetween playing that and the various other FF's ive having quite alot of damn fun i must admit. ^_^ i downloaded a guide to the jobs in FF3j, and funnily enough the Red.Wiz stats are kinda, mediocre, like.. they are good, but they could be better, heh. As the Bard is to D&D, the Red Mage is to FF.. jack of all trades, master to none. Stats are as follows (HP isnt included, since it varies greatly throughout the game when you change jobs).

Str. 50
Agi. 70
Vit. 30
Int. 50
Spr. 50
AtX. 22
Att. 26
Ht%. 97
DeX. 4
Def. 15
Eva. 17
MDf. 0

As you can all remember, the old school FF's went by Magic Levels, not straight out MP stacks like you see in the new FF's.. heh, that little list is like.. Lv1 -> Lv8, and as the Red.Wiz is limited to Lv4 magic, but he has quite alot of casts up his sleeve as you can well notice.. only bitch of a thing, is the 3-spell limit per level, just like the original FF you are limited to how many spells to stack up in each level available.. so eh, yeah, as the Red.Wiz can cast ALOT of spells, he is limited to how many and what kind at a time. Heh.

He still rawks, as psiko will be willing to debate. XD

I'll have a stab at that other topic that psiko threw up for us.. its been a while since i even touched FFVI, but my party tended to ALWAYS have Celes and/or Terra in it, along side either Relm (Control) or Strago (Lores), and eh.. some random character shoved in the middle who needs levels lol. I generally had one uber character in every part of the game, just so i wouldnt get fucked over.

Ark, as i told you on AIM the other day, heh, its been so long and my skills at that game kind of uh...? sucked over time, lol, i can only do a FEW levels without being killed, so doing the entire game dodging every single bullet and what not would be quite the task for an old fella such as myself. lol. i do seldom listen to the GYM music set of that game though, fuckin' awesome music by anyone standards.

Bout time you got in here Scorp, BIATCH! XD

And now, for the current topic, fave bad dude besides Kefka? well, Kefka i find to be a derranged psycho pussy, so eh, Golbez will get my vote easily enough. Besides, his sprite was WAY cooler then Kefka and his.... Jester-ish appearence. Jester's just, never gave out that fright-factor.

Currently Playing: FFXI

*insert random spell here, TFF explodes*

[Neo Necron]

Dawezy.... Golbez wasn't a real villain, he was under mind control... he was an old softie at heart. Rather like Darth Vader (No... I'm not going into that whole FFIV/Star Wars crap XD)

But you're right, his sprite was uber cool, especially his battle sprite.

Then X-death tried copying golbez's appearance.... what a turd


But Pancakes, no way was Ultros better than kefka IMO. I hated Ultros, lol. Okay, he was fun to fight, but he just seemed out of context of the game somehow :/

[Dawezy]

Bah! screw you, he was a pretty damn cool looking villain! Well, for the part of the game that he was under mind-control anyway, Zemus was just.. meh, as hard as he was to pummel into the ground, he didnt pull out any good lines like Golbez did IMO. So uh..... Golbez gets my vote for best "Temporary" villain?

There, happy NN!! you FUCKER!! XD
