Well, Gamefaqs is doing something alike, only with extra 29 contestants and prizes for those who make good choices.

Click here for info and regulations;

And here to know already the competitors for the title of greatest game villain ever. There are some obvious entries, along with curious ones.

Obviously, you need to live in America and to be a member of the place to participate.

I can bet you my piggy bank money that Sephiroth will win that contest because of the crowds of loyal fanboys/girls who's spent the last five years wooing over him.

I would vote for Sigma. I mean, this victory would be a "postume" tribute- after all, he died for good recently, after a war that dured 10 games.

They've been doing this contest for about 3 years now. I always lose on the first bracket set.

Winner = Sephiroth because it's GameFAQs.

I thought Link won last year.

Nope. Sephy. Crono got pretty far, as did a shitload of mutes, but Sephiroth has a big ass sword.

Eh, I though I was sure that Link actually won again for last year though, I really never payed any attention to any Gamefaqs' "Best ______ of All Time" on the account of them being predictable and laaaaaame.

The majority of polls became somewhat commercial awhile back if memory serves.

Either Link or Cloud usually wins, and for best villian I would guess Seph or Ganondorf.

They should call it "Best Pretty Boy Badass Archetypal Unoriginal Trite Brooding Character", that'd be more accurate.

They could just make all the candidates Sephiroth.

Round 1
Nice Sephiroth
vs.
Crazy Sephiroth

Round 2
JENOVA-Obsessed Sephiroth

Super SOLDIER Sephiroth

You could have rounds for each of his personalities.

I've been getting by with good looks and a big-ass sword for my entire life.

Sephiroth is popular because fangirls like to masturbate to men who have vaginas.[/quote]

Why is he so popular anyway? (besides his good looks and the big-ass sword) I mean, yeah, he killed Aeris and tried to dominate the world or whatever. Any videogame villain can kill an important character and try the world domination thing.

I always theorized FF7 was the main reason he's one of the most well known...ahem..."villain"s of all time. After all, the game can't go anywhere without people identifying it from 2 inches away. So...maybe it's a popularity thing...and the gobs of fangirls who's into girl men.
