How about... hmmm.... GBD!

No really, how about some Kelvin. Is there any of him in it?

Well, if you read the comments on my DA page for that, you would've seen that I mentioned I was a little drunk when I made that image so of course things'll be off.

Still, for my lack of talent I feel I did pretty good.

It's about time Ninty introduced a BBK for Bowser!

Well that's also kinda what he was doing in Sunshine (except under the false pretense that she was Junior's mom)... Thanks for that info!

If memory serves, you made that during the Super Saiyan craze, right? I think I've got an SS Clarisse pic here somewhere...

SUPER SAIYAN DONALD!

Does he get pants?

12312
No Tatsumaki Senpukyaku in X3. I made it so! SEE?

Could've been someone else though. My memory is a bit hazy on this.

12313
Thankies! If memory serves, I think it was Sakura Leic who was complaining. But I could be wrong.

Hey, it's just speculation! And plus, the PS2 thrived while the PS3 was out, so there's nothing saying that Ninty won't announce the Wii 2 (or the Wuu as I call it) soon.

I would rather download it than have to wait for a YouTube video to load, and then listen to three tracks in a row or something.

Still, it is now law. POST THEM HERE OR FACE THE WRATH OF... the next poster!

Well, it's Galaxy 2. They wouldn't completely ignore such vital components of the original Galaxy.

Judging by the average lifespan of a console, which is 5-6 years, we've still got at least another year before anything is officially announced regarding this. Then again, since Sony's keeping the PS2 alive because it's such a money maker, maybe Nintendo will do that with the Wii...

Kinda depends on what you're looking for in a villain...

Most lovable villains to me are tied between Bowser (SMB) and the Bonnes (MegaMan Legends).  The Bonnes used to have that hands down, but the ending to Bowser's Inside Story gets me every time.

Now for a TRULY evil villain, Copy X MK1 (MegaMan Zero).  That guy is dangerous.  Anybody else who corrupts people generally does so by driving them crazy.  Copy X had the heroes of humanity, and hell the better part of humanity, honestly believing his crap.

The villain who best got his "just desserts", would be Sigma in X6.  What's that, you just got killed three weeks ago and you can't even see straight?  Too bad, we are NOT waiting for you to hatch another scheme, and you are damn well getting your ass kicked again right now.

Overall most badass appearance, Bowser gets another honorable mention (the NSMB roar was perfect; a shame Nintendo insists on the distorted voice in Galaxy and NSMBW).  But OoT's beast Ganon is unforgettable.

I have to agree with you completely on all those points!

Gotta give it to Bowser here.

I can't think of too many characters, much less villains, who are able to flow between two main archetypes (imposing, menacing badass, as well as the lovable oaf) so well, from game to game. Hell, in the recent M&L3, you could argue he did just that within the context of ONE GAME.  owo

The best thing is, it just "works" and is seen as something that works well with the character. For example, I couldn't see the likes of Wario and Dedede being "bad-ass threats", any more than I could see Ganon(dorf) or Ridley being relegated to "comic relief". If you were like me, trying to imagine such would likely make your head hurt. The notion of such would likely cause a conflicted image of what you perceive the characters as. Yet, Bowser is able to walk this thin line of "believe-ability" and do it well.

Plus, you gotta give it to a guy who runs a highly industrial Empire with efficiency, and seemingly has enough charisma-inspiring loyalty that his minions follow because they WANT to, not because of the usual "you know the price of failure...!" type of thing that can be so normal for a lot of villains in any medium. Even his brat pack (canonically, in the games, at least) don't seem to have any interest in trying to usurp his throne, seemingly content to let Pops stay in charge. The fact that Junior went through the trouble of resurrecting his Pops, instead of taking the throne for himself (when he certainly could have) speaks to me a lot.  :V

So, for him being in the business almost as long as Mario himself, I think that Bowser deserves just as much credit as the man himself. Because after all, a hero only remains as great as the villain(s) he combats, right?  owob   

And those ones too.

Bowser is my favorite villain. Especially now because of Bowser's Inside Story. Before, he was just a stubborn jerk who wanted Peach for some odd reason. Sure, his reasons were slightly fleshed out in Sunshine, but not really. In BIS, it shows his side of things. He's loved and respected by his troops, who know they'll be saved by him if captured. He's goal-oriented, and doesn't stop until that goal is accomplished. He won't let ANYTHING stop him from his ultimate goal of conquering the Mushroom Kingdom, not even a purely malevolent force bent on world destruction! And he's just so stubborn about things.

Bowser's Inside Story is the reason why Bowser is my favorite villain.

Bowser's main quality: Persistence. Even in BIS, he had that. Well there's that, and pure stubbornness. Which was demonstrated repeatedly in BIS.
