Prometheus/Siarnaq wouldn't be too bothered (Prometheus because he's outright insane, and Siarnaq because he's reverted to extremely basic programming, thus would treat them as nothing more than an ally or target). Sigma may underestimate them, though.

...Damn, now I also want to play Aeolus.

I've really got to make my mind up!

Also, which Material?

Sigma sounds fun, that's all I'll say.

I suppose if I were to pick a wrestling villain, I'd have to go with Edge. Though he'd be too busy trying to screw anything vaguely female that held still long enough...

Well that came out of nowhere.

@Gloom:

That is, of course, unless they're just like the male villains.

Case in point: Atlas from ZX Advent.

@Colonial:

Oh? What makes you think Sigma would be fun?

Well let's see: Experience, Ham, Knight Templar//Viral Motives, Ham, and he can easily hold his own against the likes of Frieza and Megatron.

@ Flanker I'm not sure yet. I'm caught between Material-S and Material-D. L is just too childish for me to play honestly. D has the villain tones for sure (She wants to rule the universe and demands to be addressed as your majestry). But S I can see as the 'quiet' villian. The one you don't think about till it's too late...

So Material S is Pandora?

And Material D sounds like she would be excellent in a ham-off with Sigma/any other hammy villain (which Siarnaq, Prometheus, and Aeolus are definitely not... apart from Prometheus, maybe).

It's not really that crazy, Chabal; in Halo Reach, Jorge actually does speak a good deal of Hungarian over the course of the game—mostly to placate frightened civilians who can't or don't want to speak English.

[up] Of course Prometheus is hammy; he's Promotheus!

Hell, he puts on that epic rape face when Grey/Aile receive Model A, instead of the expected response of Oh, Crap! or This Is Gonna Suck.

Yeah, but I'm used to the "English is the universal language" trope, so Hungarian seemed like an odd choice. I thought it was The Cast Showoff.

I wouldn't say that Material-S doesn't express emotion, but she's very reserved. But she's also incredibly ruthless. I think each of the Materials express something inside each of the originals they didn't want to admit.

Material-L is very childish, and Fate never got to really have a childhood. Material-D is very megomanical. Hayate was stuck in a wheelchair for most of her childhood and needed constant help. I have to think that she would, somewhere down deep, want power so she never had to feel that again. And the Book of Darkness just amplified that reaction. Material-S I think is the end result of Nanoha inner...I don't know, respect? Drive for following orders? She just doesn't have an reservations about blowing up and using lethal force where Nanoha wants everyone to be her friend.

So far as Rey...

"Rey, you never said you knew Hungarian."

"I don't. But it turns out for any language, all you need is 'yes' and 'no' and lots of gesturing, and you can get about whatever you need."

Plus I mentioned in his sign-up that Rey has an understanding of context that allows him to not necessarily make a complete translation, but to catch the emotional gist of whatever someone communicates to him. It's a play-up from his apparent ability on Smackdown to be able to hold conversations with other wrestlers who don't speak any language he knows...or in some cases even SPEAK.

They fit scarily well with Megaman villains:

Material D: Sigma

Material S: Vile

Material L: Thetis

...And people wonder why I say the two universes are related somehow. tongue

Frieza, Gig, Dio Brando, Hidan, and Jack Spicer are who I am thinking of for the villain game.

Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha.

Ironically, the Subaru player in the MMFRPG got me into the 'verse (though only StrikerS, since that was the most technological and least girly).

The Materials are from Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A's Portable: The Battle of Aces. It's a PSP game that is set is a slightly different universe. It takes a different route in the 2nd season of the anime, where instead of purifying the book of darkness and killing the original Reinforce, the heroines instead choose to try and keep Reinforce alive. This has the rather bad downside of the book of darkness splitting into three copies of the main Heroines who go on a rampage.

wild mass guess The Book of Darkness and the Maverick Virus would be the ultimate weapon if combined; ergo, Sigma would attempt to corrupt the Book of Darkness - though how a technological virus can do that to an inanimate object is unknown wild mass guess

Dunno which villain I should pick. Hm...

No clue of what villain I'd play, either.

I've been doing some more thinking on Blink's personal challenge, and I think I'll get Gordon's written out sometime soon.

Although he's more of a mysterious force than anything, what about the G Man or if you're aiming for a more traditional villain, how about Breen?
