I'm celebrating Valentine's Day with the video game characters I love most: bad girls. This is a collection of music associated with big bads, supervillainesses, henchwomen and general badasses who don't fit the mold of damsels in distress, with music from DarkStalkers, Shovel Knight, Sonic, Breath of Fire, Battletoads, Final Fantasy, Samurai Shodown and more. You go, girls.
