Soulblighter from Myth 2:Soulblighter. So evil, he's right there in the title.

Seriously though, this guy is up there with Diablo and Hitler.

SO3? Luther? I've no clue who you're citing.

Quite literally, Luther was portrayed as the owner of a company which had created the entirety of the universe that is Star Ocean. After the "programs" were finding things that they weren't supposed to figure out, he figured he'd just wipe the memory and start from scratch, despite the fact that the "programs" were more along the lines of being true races in and of themselves. The kicker? He didn't care.

Marche troll aside, Kotomine is just plain awesome. But
Fate route? Come on, we all know that Heaven's Feel is where he achieves his true level of awesome. That and Zero I guess.
I know, but the Angra Mainyu picture was the most impressive CG of him I could find. He's much harder to distinguish here [http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/3782/399ve.jpg], and most of the other Heaven's Feel shots are him being heroic.

But if we're talking about Type-Moon villains, then my favorite is
Nightmare Nanaya. Tatari Nanaya is cool, but he just doesn't carry the weight Nightmare Nanaya does.
Oh trust me, <url=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/326.139628>I know. His appearance was genuinely surprising, and actually unnerved me whenever I encountered him.

Doctor Horrible. Just 'cause.
I would say Dr. Horrible, but by the end of the story I got the feeling that he wasn't really a villain, he just thought he was and by the time he realized it, it was too late.

Everything he wanted was everything he lost.
I'll agree. Dr. Horrible was technically the hero of the story (being that the audience sympathizes with him rather than Hammer), even if he was striving to be a villain. Very much the classic "hero thinks they want one thing for duration of the story until the end" plot.

Though, I suppose he knew both things he wanted, but his plans simply backfired.

Yes, and then when he got one of the two things, he realized it wasn't as important as he thought. That it was just an empty shell. A lot of commentary on life can be drawn from the ending.

"And I wont feel...a thing."

Technically, you are.

Ah, true on the Kotomine subject (did you play with the Waku Waku patch? If not, it adds in Realta Nua CGs to Nine Bullet Revolver, All the Evils of This World, and All That is Good in this Life. This is awesome, but the really important addition from Realta Nua comes to those who clear all five main endings.
I actually downloaded a folder with all of the Realta Nua CGs, long before I found out about that patch. I do plan to use it, though. Watching Nine Lives Blade Works in context is too cool a proposition to pass up (not to mention the Heaven's Feel fistfight).

...and yes, I know what you're talking about, and I'm actually saving it for when I need a pick-me-up. Saber is my favorite, after all...

As for the Kagetsu pair... the latter kind of seems odd to me. I mean, Eclipse sort of establishes Shiki as being totally zen about that particular subject. That and the one he usurps is more interesting in my opinion.
I also don't like how we have no real closure on where the REAL Kouma is. He just kind of vanishes at the end of Red Demon God and we hear no more from him.
I'm kinda disappointed about that, myself. Not so much because of Red Demon God, but because he's actually surprisingly interesting in Melty Blood.

It's odd. He quotes Buddhist scripture, speaks respectfully to almost everyone, generally seems like a pretty cool guy...and according to the Night of Wallachia, he's so insanely powerful in reality that he can maintain his own personality and motivations even as a tatari (and supposedly under White Len's control).

I definitely want to see more of him.

Clever, I see the comparison. Me, I'm talking Cthulhu, who by the by for those that don't know is not an Elder God, but a Great Old One.

The basic original description of the Great Old Ones is that they are a race of sentient... things. Things which exist in more dimensions than our rudimentary senses can detect. Creatures of such power and vastness out minds cannot even conceive of them. To see one is said to be madness! And so these vast god-like creatures wander the cosmos and where they go follows death and destruction and agony. Why they do it no one knows, for can the ant conceive the intentions of the foot which crushed it? I think not. As the original story goes the Elder Gods encountered these beings and, so it is theorized, tried to contain these Great Old Ones through means we cannot conceive in order to try and preserve themselves.

We do not know if they succeeded or not, for the Elder Gods are mostly vanished now. All we do know is that Cthulhu waits, dreaming, and when he awakens it shall be the end of humanity as we know it.

There are also other theories about the Elder Gods and the Great Old Ones, such as August Derleth's take on the matter where he theorized the two were once one and the same. Myself? I prefer to stick with the original story.

Love those Youtube carols. I'm pretty fond of Awake Ye Scary Great Old Ones [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbzuzSbCyfQ] myself.

I seriously need to play Melty Blood.
I thought White Len couldn't control the Tatari beings though? I heard she makes a pact with Tatari Nanaya, but that he only does so to sustain his own existence. And even then doesn't he turn around on her once he's killed everyone else?
Yeah, they do all turn on her, but they also never act out-of-accord with their natures as manifested nightmares.

If I understood Wallachia right, the surprising thing about Kouma is that he doesn't act like that. If he acted like a genuine tatari, he'd likely be Shiki's fear of death in flesh, the implacable monster of Kagetsu Tohya; instead, he's powerful enough to exert self-control over his tatari nature, so he behaves essentially like the real Kouma.

More than that though I NEED TO PLAY BATTLE MOON WARS.
Among other things, apparently Nightmare Nanaya pacts with Archer and Roa does a fusion dance with SHIKI to become RoSHIaKI the ninja. Yeah.
I've been considering looking that up, myself...if vaguely. If anything, I'd want to play it for another thing I've heard about: the canonically impossible but unbelievably awesome concept of

Shikis Ryougi and Tohno doing a crossover Death Perception attack!

Adolph Hitler. Even the might of Superman, Aquaman, and Captain Planet couldn't beat him on three separate occasions.

Not one mention of the Dark Lord of the Sith?? I realize that he redeems himself in the end, but to this day, the character of Darth Vader is one of the most recognizable villians in the world. Uncaring and powerful with a face that's a combination skull and nazi helmet, the elder Skywalker is the ultimate villain.
