Most Bad Ass! [Archive] - The Technodrome Forums

We all know there are a ton of awesome characters in video games, but which one is truly the most bad ass? Not in terms of jumping on dudes, like Mario, or running really fast, like Sonic, but in terms of just ruining fools and pulling off insane feats. Is it Link, the dude who can rip apart anyone with the sweet Master Sword? Solid Snake, the sneakiest mofo in all of the gamedom? Cloud, the huge-ass sword wielding, disturbed hero of FF7? Master Chief, the dude who can single handedly decide wars? Marcus Fenix, the rough, tough, cursing son of a b*tch who lays into Locust with his chainsaw bayonet?

Personally, I'm going to go with Kratos. The very embodiment of bad ass. Not only are his weapons attached to chains, permanently seared into the skin of his forearms, but he can rip fools apart! He killed his wife and kid, and suppresses his feelings of guilt, by sleeping with multiple ladies at once! He got impaled by a giant spear, then climbed the f*ck out of hell, only to kill a god and take his throne. Kratos wins...HANDS DOWN!

Your thoughts?

Solid Snake, of course. He had the balls to parade around as a guy named Iroquois Plissken, for Christ's sake -- he has to be the baddest guy in town!

Meh.

We all know that Ninja, from I-Ninja, is the baddest dude out there. He freaks out, kills his teacher, and spends the rest of the game slicing everything around him up. I mean, come on.

Or Tom Nook. The bastard.

The King of All Cosmos from Katamari Damacy is more bad ass than that Ninja guy. And all he does is sit in a chair and take compliments.

haha It's cool. Though I like Dante and he has often times been called Bad Ass, he isn't the most Bad Ass. I would have to agree that Kratos is pretty Bad Ass. I mean he killed a God after crawling himself out of Hell. I mean Dante went INTO Hell and killed Satan and then escaped but Mundus isn't much of a God.

What about the guy who defeated the entire Vigoor Empire, slayed the Demon, destroyed Ashtar and killed the Jaquio?

Not to mention he has one of the coolest throw-and-grab attacks ever.8)

That would be Ryu Hayabusha from teh Ninja Gaiden series. Bad ass.

I voted Link cuz i grew up with him and he so badass with that master sword.. he fought countless monsters and saved the princess and became a hero multiple times..

Of all the characters on the voting list, Link is the only character not to utter one word besides the usual yelp or grunt.

I voted Snake for fanboy reasons, even though there's no character who is more badass than Kratos. Has anyone checked out IGN's new "GoW2" footage? That stuff is INSANE!

I had to go with Kratos, as well. That game is just so well made, and Kratos is really fleshed out well.

01-14-2007, 01:08 PM

Yea I went with Kratos as well, though I serously thought about Snake as I am huge MG fan.

That said, Kratos is insane. The things he does have no par. The ultimate badass. So kratos by an inch.

I'm going to go with Snake here. Which one of you clowns voted Cloud?

01-14-2007, 01:40 PM

I voted for Link. He's been my hero forever. I would've voted Cloud if Link weren't on there, though. Advent Children showed his ultimate awesome.

I'm going with my brotha' in the hood Ai and voting Link. I've known that jolly green giant since Kindergarten, and since he was a ****** on TV harassing Zelda, all the way to the badassity he became.

The choice was hard to make between Master Chief and Kratos, but I feel Kratos is deserving of my vote. The Chief hasn't been through what Kratos has, so therefore he's the true bad ass here. If Kratos didn't deal with creatures of the supernatural and Greek mythos, then Master Chief would've probably gotten my vote.

Question, what has Solid Snake done that's truly bad ass? I played through MGS2...and I didn't see anything.

Let me answer you with another question. Have you played through MGS 1 or 3? 2 Spends most of it's time focusing on Raiden trying to be like Snake as opposed to Snake himself. It's already established from the first game why he's such a bad ass and then elaborated on in 3 with his exact genetic match.

Peanut

01-15-2007, 03:01 PM

Yeah, I played the first one as well. I didn't touch the third one after the mess that was MGS2, though.

Dr. Doom

01-15-2007, 03:05 PM

That's a terrible mistake, trust me. I know and understand why people didn't care for MGS2 and I can guarantee you that if you are actually wanting to sit down and play an MGS game, Snake Eater will deliver the experience that you seek exponentially. As much as I love the first one, I had to bump Snake Eater up into it's spot in 3rd place because it's such a brilliant game (and I'm a totaly mark for Ocelot).

Dude is totally bad ass.

Honestly I thought Big Boss was more bad ass then Solid Snake. In Snake Eater Big Boss shows how cool he is. Snake is just a clone of him so any bad ass-ness he has he got from Boss anyways.

And yeah Snake Eater is great, well the re-release with the better camera. Anyways it's an awesome game. There's way more stealth element to it*You actually use camo to hide from guards* plus if you want to you can go nuts and blast people. There's alot of fun weapons. You can also cut off enemy supply to food and guns by blowing up their store houses. And you can feed them poison food while then hungry.

I voted Cloud. Why not Link? I do not know... I should've voted Link but didn't....

but anywho, why Cloud? Because he's truely a badass. I mean c'mon... any man whom would wear a dress and a wig and such just to get in a building to get almost molested by a fat dude just to see his friend is a great man...

....or a weird man, I haven't made up my mind yet ;-)

Now that is indeeed a great reason to vote for cloud.. He sure had to get into honeybee Inn.. wasnt' that the naem of the building?

Cloud also carries a huge sword.

I voted for snake, actually he wasent my orginal choice I was going to say kratos but I dont know I just find Snake to be more of a bad ass.

Question, what has Solid Snake done that's truly bad ass? I played through MGS2...and I didn't see anything.

Really? I mean I'm just picking at moments from MGS2 but theres plently of others but for one when he was chasing liquid and broke the cuffs that were holding him, that right there has to show some of his animal like traits. Or how about when he took on Olga, dodging a move like that isnt easy and just knowing that it was coming is pretty impressive.

But since it did revolve around Raiden more (being that they were trying to show snake in a different light) I can see how you could have missed alot of things. Then again those might not be things that you consider bad ass.

I cant wait for MGS4, that game will defiently show how much of a bad ass snake is (and now how raiden will be to).

Really, you pretty much hit the nail on the head. I don't think those things are bad ass at all. They seem more "generic superhero" than anything else.

Guybrush Threepwood. This guy just doesn't give up - he has to beat that zombie pirate. He doesn't need skills with a sword or any weapon, he survives by his smart mouth and wits alone.

But then I voted Kratos.

I want a new "Monkey Island", dammit... :cry:

Peanut

01-19-2007, 11:23 AM

I think most of us who know Monkey Island would love a new one. It's never going to happen, though. Not after that bomb on the PS2. :cry: There's just no room for point and click adventures anymore. I think it would be a great fit for the DS however. They should totally port the old SCUMM games to DS.

And speaking of Kratos...
