Lefties always get the best shit, guys. Seriously, being a villian would kick ass.

Especially if you employed the 2-D Dictator Defense 101 tactics.

This is an excellent comic you have introduced to me.

I used to be lefty, but then my hand went through a window and I started to use my right. I can still kind write left handed.

Link is left handed except when Nintendo wants to be cheap and reuse sprite animations by flipping them over a vertical axis.

Was Hitler left handed?

I really don't compare the two. Mostly because I'm too lazy to notice.

Funny story, that. It's in no way physiological. Rather, because left-handed people tend to be more adventurous, they're more likely to do things that will get themselves killed early.

There's a very fine line between adventurous and suicide.

I'd say crackpot theories are crackpot theories.

Also, thank you Skydude for EXPLAINING THE JOKE AND THUS RUINING IT

According to some website I forgot the name of that I saw on the elite board on Gamefaqs, being right handed increases your value as a human by 5000 dollars.
What have you to say now?

Well, since obviously most people haven't played the series, they probably don't get the joke.

The villains aren't actually left-handed. In fact, the battle sprites of them clearly show one of them being right-handed, one uncertain (as he's holding a spear in both hands), one with no weapon but extending his right hand (as if in a spell) and one who seems to be left-handed in one game but right-handed in the other two in which he appears.

The joke I assume Alastor is making is that they are called "Sinistrals" and sinistral means, in one sense, left-handed. Obviously the makers were going more towards "sinister" than that, but then, even that has its roots in leftedness. So it's a rather lame pun he's making more than anything about the actual nature of the villains in question

Lefties were more common before the Roman empire, or so it has been theorized.

Geniuses also tend to be left handed.

Asdf is right though, there's been no absolutely concrete data that shows lefties will die sooner.

I like being lefthanded.

As for why the villains are left handed, maybe it's an inside joke? Maybe they're trying to emphasize the two sides of the spectrum or the good vs evil thing? I have no clue.

They end up being unable to use the righthanded (i.e. superior) contraptions in dire circumstances, which don't come up that often, so they would have a *marginally* higher death rate, I would think.

Actually, according to Wikipedia (here), the study of left-handed people dying earlier than right-handed people has been deemed uncredible. Myself, I am ambidextrous, so I can play lefty or righty.
