Purely random. Who's more, for a lack of a better New World term, 'badass'?
The Jedi with a borderline darkside fighting style, or the Evil King?
Been actually starting to get into Star Wars after an ITV full saga showing a few weeks back.
Such outcome may affect my avatar choice. :)
Windu was a bit of a wuss in Episode 3.

Windu was a bit of a wuss in Episode 3.
That scene didn't do him any justic. The fact he lasted so long when the other Masters were wiped out so easily proves his 'badass-ness'.
Got to be Windu for me.
Those were masters? They just stood there while Palpatine slowly attacked them.

Well Mace has the advantage in having a lightsaber, because that bitch >>>>>>>>>>>> anything else... it could cut through his sword, absorb his magic attacks etc...

I think I agree. But doesn't his presence in the Clone Wars (and the animated version) make up for that? He did have Siddious on the ropes.

Yeah they were all members of the Jedi Council, I can't remember all their names, one is Kit Fisto. One of my favourite Jedi, owned in seconds.

If we're talking Ganondorf on Melee, with me at the helms....then Ganondorf.
But in all other circumstances (apart from bitching out in Episode III) its gotta be Mace.
But then Plo Koon trumps both of them in his starfighter...so.....

Isn't Ganondorf pretty much immortal with the Triforce of Power?

Mace was like a Hero to me, until Episode 3. Yes, getting killed by a very wooden Hayden Chrisstessenseanbean. Not only did he eventually nose dive towards the ground, but so did my love for him. :(
Ganondorf is a badass to me. My favourite character on Melee, and despite being much, much slower on Brawl, he's still one of my characters of choice. Awesome character. Twilight Princess wasn't his best outing, but I still loved each scene with him involved.
King V, why don't you just get an avatar of Jules Winnfield from Pulp Fiction? A much, much better role played by El Jackson.

Hehe, yeah seems like the obvious, straight forward choice eh? But I like things with an air of mysticism and something that kind of applies to me in someway. (like combat, and the philosophies with it). I also like how his purple lightsaber is vaguely interpretated as having both darkside and light qualities (blue + red?) and his fighting style, Vaapad, is deep enough to warrant it's own school of thought: fight like one fromthe darkside but for the light...
Or maybe I'm just reading too much into things. ;)

If only Episode 3 wasn't so shitty.

Kit Fisto. One of my favourite Jedi, owned in seconds.
I loved him for his cheeky grin. But out of the four pansies who challenged Palpatine, he lasted second longest.

Ganondorf is better because he was part of a series when it was at its best (Ocarina of Time, Wind Waker). Mace Windu, on the other hand, is part of a series of films that are in no way iconic in their own right.
Samuel L Jackson is great in Jackie Brown though. That's an excellent film. :)

Ganondorf
There's something about a villain that manages to successfully manipulate his enemies into achieving his own goals. The fact that his punches are stronger than Falcon's is just a perk.

Ganondorf!
Windu's lightsaber was purple because Samuel El Jackson asked for a different colour to all the others so that he could identify himself in the battlescenes when the view was at a distance... it would've been standard colour otherwise.
I watched an interview with him explain that prior to the movies release.

Yeah, but there's also an in-story backstory to the purple saber. Basically his fighting style is one that others who tried to master it, fall to the darkside.

True.
Yeah, but there's also an in-story backstory to the purple saber. Basically his fighting style is one that others who tried to master it, fall to the darkside.
George Lucas then decided to create a back story, and allow ridiculous colours such as yellow and orange lightsabers. I think there are other purple lightsaber users as well, though I can't confirm my suspicions.
The thing with Mace Windu unless you're a star wars nerd (me) then you don't really know much about him. He plays a very small part in the films and it doesn't really do his character much justice.

lol grunch win.
Ganondorf gets my vote because in OoT he was probably the most successful Nintendo villain ever. Gaining control of Hyrule for like... 7 years before the Hero of Time grew old enough to fight back. Most of the time Nintendo villains just kidnap the princess for 3-4 days until you get enough stars or whatever. Think of the misery of those 7 years, how many people will have died, how much of an easy, laid back tyrannical rule he must have had.

Buuuut...none of it ever happened. :p
Ganondorf, though, definitely. Mace Windu hardly seemed all that important, but then again I'm not much of a SW fan, having seen most of the films only once. I feel less strongly about Ganondorf's character with each of his subsequent occurrences. I think villains should eventually just be killed rather than constantly 'sealed away'. Seems a bit silly.

Shit, I completely forgot that.
Well... it still sort of proves he had the capability. Unlike Bowser, who is kind of like Bart Simpson when he kept trying to grab that electric cupcake.

After Link pimpsmacks him in the "future", do the Sages erase him from existence?

As far as I can remember, the seven sages trap him in the sacred realm and he still has the triforce of power.

The timeline splits (not my own theory, this has been confirmed by the Zelda people). Wind Waker is the continuation of the adult timeline in which Ganondorf has been sealed away in the Sacred Realm. Twilight Princess is the continuation of the child timeline in which Ganondorf is captured before he can do anything to Hyrule, but because of the adventures (as evident by the ending scene in Ocarina of Time in which Link and Zelda are in the courtyard, the Triforce of Courage visible on Link's hand), the three still have their pieces of the Triforce, including Ganondorf, which is the "divine intervention" that results in the Sages being unable to execute him.

Ahhh love that good ole Zelda lore. How I cream for an OOT directors cut that goes a little bit deeper in content and shows more of life under the seven year Ganondorf reign; awakening volvagia, his relation with the other Gerudo etc.
The lack of depth and serious interest by the developers kills me.
