Hope from FF13-2

I liked Hope in FF XIII-2 but his

proto-Fal'Cie plan

was just asking for trouble.

Alakazam
Doesn't one of its Pokedex descriptions state that its IQ is supposed to be like 1000 or something like that?

or maybe someone from the Ratchet Universe.

 

[Xero]

I agree with Lezard. Dude pulled a total Dr. Doom style move, except even more elaborate and awesome. I also nominate Shu From suikoden 2. Makes mathiu look like apple.

 

[Perfect Cha0s]

What about Eggman? The dude has an IQ of 300.

300.

 

[t26]

 

[Finaika]

 

[THE Caffeinated]

I nominate Guybrush Threepwood

- able to store infinite objects in his pants

That is absolutely the leading criteria I think for intelligence.

 

[Taruranto]

Nah, Kevin is definitely smarter than her, beside Shion

Spoiler

suffers from several PSTD that make her act rashly and on instinct, relying on her emotions more than anything and imagining things.

 

[Shepard]

Lucretia Merces - Suikoden V

Chick knew everything

Nice one.

 

[MrCunningham]

Barney: "Good job pulling that lever, Gordon. I see you're putting your MIT education to good use."

 

[Fimbulvetr]

Frankly, I find all the of people with Reasons to be fools.

Pretty much. If anything, Yuko is the only character in the entire game to develop positively and learn from her mistakes. Everyone else is too busy being stuck up their own ass or is

Spoiler

Lucifer.

 

[raven777]

Wilhelm from Xenosaga.

Yea as Xeno series fan, him and Krelian from Xenogears comes to my mind.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

Intelligence is not how much one knows, it's how one figures out new things.

the most intelligent character is not one who confuses speaking with jumping

 

[LeleSocho]

Hal, sure, he's a genius level engineer, but most of his work is modified/stolen tech. Metal Gear Rex certainly wasn't the first of it's kind. Octocamo, if you recall correctly, was

Spoiler

stolen Patriot technology.

etc. Whereas both Huey and Strangelove headed the peace walker project with just a borrowed concept from a former colleague (Granin).

I mean, three precursor Metal Gear's designed by Huey with advanced AI systems designed by Strangelove and Peacewalker itself: A mobile, decision making, dealer of assured mutual destruction. It's hard to trump.

Emma

Spoiler

was creating the Arsenal Gear and hacked a Patriot (GW)

and Sunny

Spoiler

stole information from them and reprogrammed GW with FOXALIVE

don't know man... maybe you are right on Hal but Emma and Sunny are real deal

 

[Korigama]

Fixed with the right Uzuki (Citan, Xenogears).

Spoiler

In all seriousness, though, Shion is terrible.

 

[kittens]

Gravemind from the original Halo trilogy. The collective, hive mind intelligence of millions and millions of Flood organisms. It has knowledge spanning galaxies and millenia. And it speaks in iambic heptameter, which is pretty swag.

Edit : Hah, I got post 117. Nice coincidence.

 

[Gospel]

I couldn't stand this guy.

Even his character art makes him look like a dick. very accurate.

 

[Joe Lee]

I mean, she was only a robot who gave Webster's Dictionary explanations for everything, nbd.

 

[jchap]

 

[DanielJr82]

At least compared to anyone else in KH. All the other characters will scratch their head over what the hell's going on, and Goofy will just blatantly point it out.

LOL... it's true. =P

 

[woahjeez]

Donatello from TMNT Arcade

 

[Gomu Gomu]

Not when I'm controlling him, though .

 

[Kurod]

Dr. Thaddeus Egghead Brain

I'd love to a see a 'Who are the most unintelligent characters' thread.

 

[epmode]

I'd love to a see a 'Who are the most unintelligent characters' thread.

Low-INT guy from Fallout or Arcanum!

 

[atomico]

 

[The Technomancer]

this fucker knows where to put the sheep and the wolves.

The correct answer. Gaming's Sherlock Holmes

[CorvoSol]

I liked Hope in FF XIII-2 but his

Spoiler

proto-Fal'Cie plan

Hope is kinda an oddball in that, while some of what he does is Cid-Tier intellect

Spoiler

He built a Fal'Cie better than the God Lindzei could. He also didn't stop once to consider that machines can turn on their makers, despite having fought Pulsework robots a million times.

which isn't that far from Cid Lufaine who

Spoiler

in addition to inventing the Airship and using Levirock to construct the Floating Tower, also discovered a way to use Crystals to create life, whereupon he made Chaos and the Warrior of Light. The difference is that Cid's folly was entirely emotional and not intellectual.

What about Eggman? The dude has an IQ of 300.

300.

But he loses to the world's dumbest heroes repeatedly? Like, seriously, Eggman's robots are smarter than him.

LOL... it's true. =P

This is cuz Goofy is also the Mysterious Figure and therefore the most powerful VILLAIN in the series.

 

[Wag]

Indiana Jones of course. He's an archaeologist, a professor, an explorer, and gets all the ladies.

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

Lucretia Merces - Suikoden V

Chick knew everything

I change my answer to this.

Frankly, I find all the of people with Reasons to be fools.

"To rely on the assistance of a fickle player, who knows of the TDE? FOOLS!"

 

[CorvoSol]

Does Gilgamesh count? He knows he's a video game character, and is even aware of the fact that he was DLC.

 

[EnderWiggles]

 

[QisTopTier]

LOL... it's true. =P

Goofy is one of the smartest disney characters. It's cannon to his character. He's just klutzy as fuck. He probably has the highest common sense of any disney character as well.

 

[dragonbane]

This guy. Agent Nahman Jayden, FBI. Solved the biggest serial killer case in the history of mankind in less then 7 days, while the retarded police was unable to find anything in 2 years. His special weapon is the ARI, an awesome pair of high tech glasses.

 

[Nemesis_]

She's not intelligent in the IQ sense of things, but I think Ada Wong from the Resident Evil series is certainly savvy with a lot of things and quite switched on when you consider how she has orchestrated many of her "deals" throughout the series.

 

[The Spoony Hou]

Wilhelm from Xenosaga.

Spoiler

Guy pretty much orchestrated the actions of everyone, and they didn't even know it. Sure, he had the advantage of having the Compass of Order and Chaos, and the whole eternal recurrence thing, so who knows how many times he repeated the events.

I agree.

Spoiler

But he himself also can't survive the recurrence, so even he doesn't know how many times he succeeded.

 

[ido]

Non-game: Keyser Soze.

 

[Astra]

I agree.

Spoiler

But he himself also can't survive the recurrence, so even he doesn't know how many times he succeeded.

It's been a long time since I've played, and don't recall whether he did or not. Well, that just makes him a pure badass, then.

Emma

I guess at any rate, Sunny is en route to beating everyone since she's, like, eight.

 

[DonMigs85]

Smartest man in the Mario universe for sure.

[Laughing Banana]

Jade from Tales of the Abyss, huh...

Well, he is certainly "intelligent" in that the game makes him appear intelligent, and in the universe of Tales of the Abyss he is perhaps the smartest of them all, but it's no hard to appear intelligent in front of the players when he seems so fond in saying stuff that the players will say "Huuuuhhhhhhhh?" like Fonon this Fonon that Fonon this Fonon that.

Damn ToTa is really fond on saying "sophisticated stuff"--or should I say, "make-up stuff"--to make their characters look intelligent. Just like FFXIII with all the Falcie and Cieth bombardments even during the first hours of the game, heh.

An intelligent person wouldn't wear a bright-red Cheongsam, of all things, in high-stakes high-action highly-confidential infiltration mission, hahahaha.
