Most Bad Ass!

Peanut · 01-13-2007, 08:01 PM

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!

*Kid Icarus* · 01-13-2007, 08:21 PM

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.

Kratos. Wins.

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.

I'll hold my vote until after I beat Zelda.

*XERO* · 01-13-2007, 11:22 PM

How can Ryu Hayabusa not be in that list?

*Spitfire* · 01-14-2007, 12:25 AM

We all know who I'd pick but h's not on that list and for arguing purposes I won't even put his name in here.

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.

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.

*Spitfire* · 01-14-2007, 02:38 AM

Except those disk games he was in where he talk alot. And in the TV series haha

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!

That king dude is pretty bad ass... His chair owns my soul.

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