Impidydoo!

So, I had an update all ready for our favorite FF6 villain ever, Kefka.

When suddenly, there was ink all over my computer screen!

This guy demanded I do the update about him instead, and I figured, why not?

Ultros [Final Fantasy IV]









This guy is just plain goofy!  He's a recurring boss throughout the game and always just makes things difficult, whether it be inking the party into blindness, or having his pal Typhon sneeze the party into oblivion.  Basically, whatever iteration of this character, no matter where it falls in the plot, needs to be a lot of vaudevillian nonsense and a WHOLE lot of camp.

You know, I'm embarrassed to say that I can reference it, but a lot like this...






Oh, Robbie Rotten... you're so campy!

Basically, it's that kind of camp feel for any of Ultros' appearances (the soft shoe would be hysterical with an 8 legged octopus-being, by the way).  I also demand that in his Opera appearance, for his Imp Song (and I forget if he does it anywhere else), he needs to be able to do a piercingly high opera mock (we're talking soprano-in-the-stratosphere-countertenor-falsetto here).  It's only fitting for his surroundings after all.

Oh.  Requirement Number 2:

Ultros must at one point go "Ha-cha-cha-cha!"

Basically, for any of Ultros' vaudevillian craziness, bigger is better.  The Returners should not have a clue what in the world is going on or what Ultros' deal is.  I have a feeling that his interplay with Typhon (who speaks only in nonsensical animalistic groans) would play a little like the Young Frankenstein version of "Puttin' on the Ritz".

...or is that just me?





Um...

Ha-cha-cha-cha!

  1. Ha-cha-cha-cha indeed. ^_^ I never thought I'd enjoy Lazy town clips but, that was awesome. Not to mention I'll be imagining Ultros soft-shoing for the rest of the night. >_< What an interesting image.

  2. LazyTown may be the guiltiest of my guilty pleasures.

  3. A guilty pleasure we share, A-man. <3

    That didn't sound weird or anything.
    Hahah, in any case, I'll never look at Ultros the same way again.

    HA-CHA-CHA-CHAAA~

  5. Hahaha, I think it's definitely the most fun I've had doing a post. (I've been listening to "It's Fun to be the Mayor" all day.)
