Okay so it's a popularity contest, it has nothing to do with an actual battle so it doesn't matter who is stronger, but only who is a better character as a whole. So naturally the newest characters are gonna win, because people haven't been playing for the last 30 years and have no idea who most of these guys are, even if they are much better then the new ones. With each new year we get more gamers, both casual and hardcore, wii sought to that. But this should be separated by year it should be more like greatest game villain of 2010, and feature only newest characters introduced or featured in games of 2010. It's really unfair because many older chars are simply better in every way but nobody votes for them because they are new to gaming and don't care about older ones. so its all unfair and unbalanced. This voting should also be held every year accordingly, but not mixed because this simply doesn't work. The character roster is also horrible, who decided on that ? How could Purple Tentacle go against Psycho mantis, and why does GTA even have 3 entries when there are som much more better characters to replace them with. How could Ocelot lose to Team Rocket ? Why did LeChuck lose to Akuma ? This shouldn't be happening! They are much better characters as a whole, so keep them separated accordingly because nobody now knows who they even are. Kerrigan and Gruntilda, you have got to be kidding me. Don't even get me started on Sephiroth and RAAM, or Irenicus and Shao Khan. If you truly want the "best of all time" then only winners of previous years should be participating in this, not just random characters. How can we get the greatest villain of ALL TIME, when only new players are now voting, and not the older players who actually witnessed Baldur's Gate. This is such a waste of everyones time. If you wanna do it then do it right!
