I saw the enemies you hate thread and decided to make one about enemies you love.

I like Sephiroth. Very mysterious and such a bad ass.

I also liked that rabbit in the basement of Super Mario 64... I was surprised when i saw it for the first time.

 

[DopeyFish]

the covenant. Especially elites

This thread represents everything evil about gaming today. Thx.

 

[LAMBO]

The Shivans. 2 Freespace games and we don't know why they want to kill us, why they sent the Cappella star supernova, and why didn't they just march into our home systems with their 80 Sathanas ships.

Yes those things around the star is their fleet.

 

[Do The Mario]

Koopa Troops is my nemisis!

 

[Mr. Lemming]

Raphael the Raven in Yoshi's Island.

also the Pac-Man ghosts.

 

[Cioran]

The running boss in Rez Area4!

 

[Late Stage Marxist]

Imp from Doom
Skaarj from Unreal
Metal Gear Rex
Ganondorf
Drake from Shadowrun

 

[The Take Out Bandit]

Poison, Final Fight: Taught me an important lesson. To see some titties, all you gotta to is punch a bitch in the face.

Risky Boots and Naga, Shantae: What more needs be said?

 

[Takuan]

Master Tonberry
Clawed Soldiers from SH:C who go "UWEEE!" when they die
Goombas
The pots from FFVII with imps/goblins in 'em that say "Gimme Elixir!"
... A lot more.

 

[Jonnyram]

Goblins in FFXI.

 

[AeroGod]

Alfonso(sp?) from Skies of Arcadia is awesome

 

[way more]

The Half-Life marine

I would replay the levels with these guys over and over. I would quicksave and play the individual rooms with these guys over and over.

and these cruel, nimble, bitches.

Frighting A.I.

 

[Tim]

 

[GaimeGuy]

These bad boys.

 

[Ronin]

The entire Zeed/NeoZeed syndicate

This thread represents everything evil about gaming today. Thx.

Hmm? I don't see why...

There were tons of awesome enemies in older games. From simple arcade style bosses to fully developed villians in the various RPGs...things really haven't changed that much.

 

[Scott]

 

[SD-Ness]

 

[GaimeGuy]

Oh, and this guy, too:

 

[bahndotcom]

My picks:

Sephiroth
Liquid Snake
Kefka
King Koopa

 

[Fatghost]

Every enemy in Ninja Gaiden.

 

[Ollie Pooch]

the S.A.X from metroid fusion creepy

 

[Minotauro]

Hunters in Halo and the black ninjas in Ninja Gaiden.

 

[GhaleonEB]

Ghaleon from Lunar the Silver Star and Lunar Eternal Blue.

 

[MrCheez]

I have many more favorites, but those are the first two that come to mind. I mostly like Bowser just for the whole nostalgia/traditional vibe you get from the entire Koopa Klan (plus whenever he gets dialogue he tends to be pretty funny). As for Ganon, he's been developeed beautifully over the last few years.

 

[Jason]

 

[speedpop]

Kefka, hands down. If there was ever a character that was purely insane, it would sum this guy up.

 

[Mike Works]

Cliff racers.

Oh, wait, LOVE?

Probably the majority of enemies in Conker's Bad Fur Day. The giant haystack, the dung beetles, etc.

I also thought those electric turtles who throw their shells at you and you have to spray them with water before they boomerang back in Super Mario Sunshine was a really clever enemy design.

 

[Kiriku]

I always loved the Ganondorf fights, especially in Wind Waker, where you strike an energy ball back and forth until someone is hit.

I hope you’re being sarcastic because that was done on the N64 and SNES!

Was fun in OOT. I remember doing a 3 heart run (no faires) and using the hammer to volley the shots. One hit and it was game over.

 

[Kiriku]

I know they were, that's why I said "especially in Wind Waker".

 

[Do The Mario]

To be honest I thought it was lame because it had been done twice before, sorry but something new would have been nice.

Nintendo not only whoring franchisees and old games but boss battles to!

Well, as I said, I've always loved those battles. Ever since Zelda: ALTTP. Maybe it's the intensity, getting the timing right or something. Admittedly, it's not that hard, especially not in Wind Waker, but I still love the concept of it (and the little sound that's heard everytime someone strikes the energy ball in WW was cool). I actually missed a couple of times on purpose just to make it last longer in WW. :|

 

[Do The Mario]

Despite the fact I thought it was lame it was a beautiful sequence

 

[impirius]

Yes! Also Lakitu.

 

[hobart]

Psycho Mantis.

I was sorry that encounter ended... and he knew what I played!!!!
