Of those, Minsc. However, Kratos I like better; sure, he's not funny. Minsc with the talking sword in BGII was god damned hilarious. But Kratos is awesome in ways Minsc, Sephiroth, Wario, and most others can't match. Not because of the blades, though the grace with which he handles those is pretty sweet, but more because hes a completely fearless guy who wants to and can slaughter everything he comes across, including those that help him. Yet, he still hates killing women and children (except motherfucking harpies. I think only I get more glee from killing those than he does), showing he still maintains a rock-solid grip on his humanity despite being insanely violent. That, and he takes on monsters that are bigger than buildings, sometimes very heavily armored ones, and is only a little more durable than an average human.
Oh yeah. I did remember one of my malkavians now. His derangement is that he can hear all the things that I, the player, hear, but of course he's in a completely different world and there aren't any people around. It didn't help that my gaming group jokes and talks out of character a LOT (much more than in-character). Although he did have one good idea... he had the Cast No Reflection flaw, so he didn't appear in mirrors, and then made some glasses with a mirror on the inside of one of the lenses, so he could see behind him. This unfortunately neglected the fact that his perception sucked and he can't concentrate for one second...
Oh yeah, them. We've found in our vampire games the presence of a Malkavian and total batshit craziness is entirely incidental; by that I mean we accomplish it well enough without one. At one point, my Tremere (who had long since jumped off the deep end) raided a natural history museum dressed like a pirate because he wanted to steal a viking longboat, during which he animated all the velociraptors to cover his escape from some MIBs. Later that night, he went to the zoo (I don't remember why; I think it was solely to screw around) and used some obscure Thaumateurgy path to create the headcrabs and barnacles from Half-Life around the zoo, fully alive and carnivorous. Life (unlife?) was tragically cut short when he accidentally teleported into the sun.Chicago Ted said:

Sephiroth is awesome, though he wasn't actually the first that came to mind. That would be Albedo (Xenosaga), who rips off his own head to scare a little kid (he regenerates). Sephiroth's cool and all, thus getting a nod, but Albedo's ...uh...Albedo, which makes him my pick. The only thing I don't like is how he's eerily into 12-year-old girls.
Kefka is definitely up there. . . he was just crazy psychotic. He made a good villain because of it.
Oh, does anybody remember Bad Girl from No More Heroes? Man, she actually scared me a bit with how crazy she is. Not even funny.

Yoshimitsu is not insane, he is probably one of the more sane characters in the Soul Caliber series. His fighting style is just erratic.
How can you have this poll without Adam the Clown from Dead Rising?

I'd probably give my vote to Kefka of Final Fantasy VI. No morals, no scruples, and no traces of sanity.
That's definitely another good pick. Albedo was really something. Didn't he stomp on his own head after tearing it off? His eerie obsession with Momo made a lot of sense considering his backstory, but it definitely loaned a special edge to his craziness.dstryfe said:
I wouldn't say Yoshimitsu is crazy, that move he dose is an ancient Japanese suicide ritual where the person in question had to grip the sword by the blade so not crazy. I'd have to say the entire line up of Bosses from MGS3, they all looked crazy to me.
Yoshimitsu without question, he's the only one that is hardcore enough to impale HIMSELF with and armor piercing stab in hopes of getting the enemy behind him as well.
