Alrighty then! I'll keep my Ocelot submission, you go submit Nightmare.GolisoPower
Hey. Just checking if you're keeping your submission as is. I might submit Nightmare but I just wanted to check you weren't planning on switching back to him. If not I have other ideas
We could take the desing used in Bomberman and adapt it to Pyramid Head's normal proportionsIt's even in Bomberman.
I wish I hadn't designed fxxkin Pyramid Head.

That I CAN accept as a reason. still think he was joking but whatever
Umm, yes. Spirit events disconfirm characters.
Honestly, this one feels like the best option for a villain rep.
Cant do a full write up but I will officially submit Pyramid Head
Hey, my cousin said that she wants to submit something, she wouldn't late too much, so if you can wait a little it would be cool, sorry for the petition.
Is this a villain?
Yep he is the villain of the VN in the Fate and in the Unlimited Blade Works route, in other games he is more friendly but due the animes his role has a villain is more knowed.
Maybe a weird election, but trust me I have some reasons to why consider him.

"Suffering defeat after defeat, that man’s body was reaching it’s limit…Who is Vergil?
breaking down… but he couldn’t die yet, the man had a job that must be done:
To defeat his twin brother"
VERGIL
SHOWS HIS MOTIVATION!
Vergil is one of the sons of Sparda the Legendary Dark Knight and the human Eva apart of the twin brother of Dante, Vergil was always be portrayed has his opposite being their main difference how Dante rejected his inner demon embracing his human heritage meanwhile he constantly denies his humanity searching the power that his demonic blood can provide. The first appearence of Vergil wasn't actually completely has himself but a brainwashed version called Nelo Angelo, his more well-know portrayal appeared in the third game Dante's Awakening where he is the main antagonist of the game, in Devil May Cry 4 he had a pseudo-canonical appearence has a playable character in the Special Edition of the game and reappears once again in Devil May Cry 5 being the main antagonist (and also the villain) this time. You can even say that even when Vergil doesn't appear he is always related in some way to the plot.
Why Vergil over Dante?
Probably the question most people would be doing the moment they looked this, why you should include he instead of Dante who is the protagonist?, well, first for all, is kinda fair to say that Capcom doesn't care about Dante's status has the protagonist since the actual games even if include him in the poster it's Nero who should be considered the protagonist, yet even then this doesn't answer the question of why we should add him over Dante or even Nero, well I think there are two reasons why he must be at least considerated.
Vergil is the most popular character of the franchise, you can note it just searching how many memes, fanarts, etc are of him, everyone loves Bury the Light and everyone hates (and at the same time love) how broken he is in Marvel vs Capcom 3, and the proper Capcom tends to use him has the main push for buy the Special Edition's of the games. Even if Dante is cool (and I would love to see him) Vergil isn't a bad election in terms of popularity.
- Fan Preference
Has I said before you can perfectly say that DMC's plots is about Vergil and you would be right, Vergil is always present in a way or other into the story, in DMC1 he appears has Nelo Angelo, part of the reason why Dante has a drastic chance in DMC2 is because Vergil, in DMC3 Vergil appears physically and the plot is about how Dante must stop him, Vergil's son is the protagonist of DMC 4 and 5, in DMC4 his sword is an important key in the game and in DMC5 Vergil is the only reason why Dante was even interesed to take the job, so not only in fan popularity but in terms of the game's story Vergil is relevant enough to be considered a good replace of the other son of Sparda.
- Lore
How Vergil would play?
The main reason why I would even think on include Vergil over Dante is his gameplay, sure maybe Vergil lacks Dante's variety of weapons but he compesates it with something in particular and it's his technique. You can say that Vergil would be "a generic swordsman" and you will be totally wrong, because...did you even see what Vergil can do even with just three weapons?
He could also bring almost anything Dante could have in terms of gimmicks (combos, Devil Trigger, between some others) with the exception of the styles (that honestly I usually don't like those fanon Dante's moveset that uses the Style gimmick..., mainly because they try to change all his special moves and even his normales that actually makes his moveset more limited than variante). He also has his own unique mechanic in the form of the Concentration meter that it's unique since it could be considered the Anti-Tension Meter, it compensates when you do precise attacks, walks slowly and even just standing still but whiff to much, being attacked and even run unnecesary reduces this meter and with that Vergil's power, Good Vergil players should avoid the move spamming and try to control of the space mantaining mostly estathic (unless they are using his teleport) whole a bad Vergil player would be punished for miss moves and take hits that the could avoid.
Summary
- Vergil is a submission equally good to Dante.
- Vergil could bring a similar playstyle to Dante or even a more unique one.
- Vergil has the approval of the fanbase to be the DMC rep.
- Vergil is awesome.
Emet-selch (Final Fantasy XIV)
MAJOR FFXIV SPOILERS BELOW!
The main villain of Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers and a recurring presence throughout the series. Emet-selch is an ancient and a member of the Ascians and he helped to establish the nefarious Garlean Empire and ruled it under the name "Solus Zos Galvus"
Emet-selch's true name is Hades and uses the power of darkness
![]()
Emet-selch can use the abilities he has in his boss fight and also the powers he has as an ancient as seen in Endwalker
Final Fantasy XIV is an incredibly popular FF title and has received near universal praise for it's writing and gameplay.
FFXIV also has an incredible soundtrack that also has near universal praise.
In conclusion, Emet-selch would not only be an interesting character to add not only for his gameplay but also the new Final Fantasy representation is valuable.
Crow/Goro Akechi (Persona 5)
Since Persona fans will now play their favorite game thanks to the Switch port and Akechi is supposedly getting it's own spin-off I think it's a good time to submit him, while he wasn't the main villain from what I know, he is one of the villains in the game and the most iconic probably, he has a good moveset potential, the only thing that for me kinda of ruins Crow's inclussion it's the amount of Persona content already, but there's always something to add.
I hope Crow gets included because Persona 5 is every Persona fan's most wanted game to play
Bad Piggy (Rovio)
Who are the Bad Piggies?
Coloured green as an at-the-time topical swine flu joke, the Bad Piggies are the villains of the massively influential Angry Birds series of games - within the plot of the original game, they had stolen the bird's eggs and planned to fry them as a meal, led by the greedy King Pig Smooth Cheeks, and thustly the birds needed to tear down their forts to get their eggs back.
The Bad Piggies would go on to star in their own title: Bad Piggies, where the player is tasked with building inventions to help the pigs get to their much-desired eggs using a variety of parts and gizmos. While maybe not as big as Angry Birds, Bad Piggies was a big deal when it first launched - propelling to the top of the App Store charts. This game will be the basis for my piggy pitch and the reason to choose them over their avian rivals
Why should a Bad Piggy be in?
Bad Piggies is due to recieve a long-awaited sequel very soon, and as a whole the Angry Birds franchise is having a nostalgic resurgence due to its fans becoming adults with their own money - the classic Angry Birds games have been returning to app stores for example. Zoomers who may have already been attracted by the inclusion of Crazy Dave and Steve would be very happy to see the Piggy join. Angry Birds is a puzzle franchise, something we still haven't properly represented, and at that a physics puzzle franchise, which would make it unique even if Dr. Mario is considered a puzzle rep. We also already have Angry Birds content in base game.
What would a Bad Piggy do?
The Bad Piggy's moveset would probably revolve in some form around vehicle creation - while this isn't the only possibility, my idea is that the piggy should be inside a single frame with a wheel on the bottom - the left, right, and top all have different gizmos attached that can be swapped with a Down B, these would modify back/neutral, forward, and up attacks respectively - so, for example, you could put a fan at top to deal damage with your Up B and add a windbox to your up smash, or an umbrella to add a slow descent after your Up B and give your up smash a bigger hitbox. Similarly, you could put a Soda bottle as your back part to get a multihit back air and neutral B that creates a long, damage dealing geyser backward, or put on a pump to have your back air propel you a bit forwards and Neutral B that pushes foes behind you away with wind. (this is assuming that the Up B and Neuteal B are just standard flight and dash attacks, which they probably won't be)

There are many other ways to handle this though, like creating your own kart shapes; or having a destructible kart with some kind of physics to it.
Why a pig over a bird?
The most memorable part of Angry Birds is the wooden and steel structures - something the birds just can't represent since their goal in the game is to destroy them. The pigs, being the ones who build the structures, can represent the structures in the form of vehicles. Although there's only one Bad Piggies game, it is just as beloved as the other games, if not moreso, and has kept relevance through nostalgic memes and absurd inventions that show them as more than just the washed up pop culture icons people tend to (wrongfully) see the birds as.
Kerrigan
Starcraft
Kerrigan is the Queen of Blades who commands the Zerg. Originally a Terran operative, she was captured by the Zerg and infested leading her to become a leading commander of its forces and, eventually, it’s ruler. Kerrigan is constantly featured on top lists for both villain and female gaming characters. I chose Kerrigan based on this as I feel having both fulfilled would be a step in the right direction but she is nearly universally recognized and appreciated. This also brings RTS games into the mix and adds Starcraft. While Warcraft is more recognized than Starcraft, Kerrigan, to me, has more to work with. In regards to her attacks and powers, she utilizes psionic powers that would make her similar in application to the Mother heroes and Mewtwo but also utilizing devastating melee attacks along with Zerg units to retain the RTS gameplay.
Why is Kerrigan a Good Choice?
Beyond coming from a new series and being from a real-time strategy game, Kerrigan is a rather unique villain as she was forcibly transformed to forsake humanity and became to be the queen of a war-worshipping race that infests other planets. Beyond that, she has unique psychic abilities combined with the ability to use this infestation to destroy her opponents. This could provide to not only be unique as a mewtwo-like character but also the antithesis of Shulk where she can sabotage opponents. This and compiled with excellent zoning and edge guarding abilities would be quite an interesting character. This can be coupled with her unique design which is something we don’t often see in Smash. She has such an evil yet graceful design that doesn’t clash with the Smash aesthetic much.
And don’t forget Dwight Schrute from the Office cosplayed as her
Here are our submissions:
Makes sense, I guess. I was thinking of just sticking with the head to make it easier, like with Dead Spike, but I guess the Aramasa's a better choice.
Contributing with this, you can see some good action of him here:
bro you can’t just give an “honorable mention” to your own submission that’s just weird
I also think my own submission isn't that good, has I said I have Vergil more has a backup for DMC representation rather than "oh yeah Vergil over Dante is a must that should happen". It isn't that I don't love him it's just that I know there are some other better options in the table.
You said the best FF OST yet I don't see Garuda's theme there/s.
?
I mean I have a very low opinion of most of the other submissions
