5.10 ROUND 3

It's the semi-finals and a shiny tyrant goes up against an octopus and a destroyer in a purple thong!

... gotta say, I love this match-up, and I can't see this happening anywhere else, haha.



I was going to make new banners, and was debating how to make them as evil as possible and came up with ones llike this... puke yellow + mismatched purple:



But then I decided that might be too evil, so have the old ones again:



[Poll #1889533]



It's two points for voting. ... and with this, I am out of different villain icons. D:

Deadline: January 12th, 11:59 PM EST

I have to say I am very pleased to see a more obscure final list (even though I do love quite a lot of the popular bad guys too ^^;;) for a change. :)

IF WE ARE ALLOWED TO TRY AND CONVINCE PEOPLE TO VOTE FOR SOMEONE THAN I SHALL DO THE OBVIOUS AND TRY TO MAKE A CASE FOR THE ONE I FANGIRL FAR TOO MUCH.

Vote for Kuja because I will let you cheat on all my minigames if you do I think that he's one of SE's best written characters, both as a villain and a personality. Whilst that is just my opinion, I do appreciate how he is not a black and white character, his motives for being a villain are very much 'do or die' which makes him incredibly narcissistic and leads to the theatrical persona as a means of covering up his own anxiety. He enjoys being a villain and is good at it (trololol "I have your friends, Zidane, now you must pick up my laundry for me!") because he's been raised to do so and knows he has to become the biggest bully in the playground if he wants to survive so he literally thrives off being a nasty son of a bitch. He is a genius but he is inhibited by his own insecurities and neuroses (let the threat to your existence live so that you feel psychologically feel comfortable with your own right to exist...that won't bite you on the ass is a couple of years...) so despite being a very dangerous threat he is not indomitable. But what I love most is that Kuja is a tragic figure in FFIX, a game that is entirely about the potential of people and how anyone can be who they want to be: Kuja is forced into a role by fate and fights to break free from it to determine his own destiny, to be his own person. By cruel irony he only truly achieves this and grows past the Angel of Death role when it is too late. Though I should probably not voice this as it's more sympathetic than evil.

Also he destroyed a planet and baited a Bahamut (coming out with nothing but a scratch). Oh and kicked the tyrant who'd been controlling two planets for about 5000 years in the crotch and then off a platform to his death whilst in the process attaining ultimate power. That's pretty badass.

I see you have a lot of feels. I guess I'll vote for Kuja :P

I have feels and I am not afraid to use them! (They make a very good bludgeoning device...)

I like the purple theme they all share. Very regal.
