Greatest Bad Ass Video Game Character of All Time!!!

i need everyones help for this. i want to know who people think is the greatest video game "badass" of all time. not best hero or villian or anything like that. straight up, bad ass.

i am undecided as or right now, but lets see what you all think!

i thought Nero and Dante from Devil May Cry 4 was pretty bad ass. But then again there's all those dudes from the GTA series.

Auron from FFX. The first time you see him in the game you think to yourself "wow, that is one badass mother****er". Then he just keeps getting more badass from there. Giant monster destroying an entire city? Meh, just another boring day in Auron's life. Why is his arm in a sling, is it injured? No, he just doesn't feel like using it. One arm is more than enough to kill you, and both you and him know it. Enemy is covered in ten foot thick armor? Auron doesn't even notice. Auron's dead? That's just a hardship for him, a learning experience if you will. Hell, he doesn't even think much about it. When your party finally finds out that he's an unsent Auron just goes "what? Didn't I tell you guys? No? Well, now you know". This is to say nothing of the way he goes out at the end of the game.

That and his speech before fighting Yunalesca was epic, and that one of his over limits involved drinking a jug of what I'll just guess was some alcoholic beverage, spitting it at the enemy, and then attacking them.

Let me guess, you've only played RE4 right?

I only say that because I can't imagine how anyone could think Leon is a badass after playing RE2. Up until RE4 he was RE's wimpiest character. He was to Resident Evil what Tidus was to Final Fantasy. Leon spends the whole of RE2 freaking out and being really sensitive, chasing after a woman he has a schoolboy crush on (and who, btw, doesn't give a **** about him and is only using him), and even spends half the game limping around after getting shot by yet another woman.

Oh yeah, that speech is definitely the most memorable line out of that game. And that overdrive you're talking about doesn't just have him spitting alcohol at an enemy. It has him spitting alcohol at an enemy and then lighting it on fire and creating a 200 ft fire tornado.

Also, just to add about the Yunalesca fight, he becomes even more badass when you consider the fact that he already tried fighting her once before and died within five seconds, and yet he doesn't even hesitate to go at her again.

COLE TRAIN. Gears of War. If you disagree, please observe the following: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GM1unPJ6N00Adam_the_Nerd

The I block from Tetris.

Kratos hands down, he rips the arms off his enemies and then beats them to death with it. He came back from the depths of Hades and Tartarus to kill gods and the Fates. Not many other characters can call themselves god-killers.

kratos lol...he breaks any part of someones body

mario he spits fire and stomps a mushroom half his size flat and breaks a brick with his head

GTA is full of badasses... but Auron is just atotal jerk and **** :)

One name: Blazkowicz :!:

Guess I'll have to toss the old Doom Guy into the ring. Reason is quite simple, He alone battles demonic hordes through a base on the moon, discovers that is hangs over Hell and makes his way down to hell itself, combat the overwhelming forces in hell and takes down one of it's greatest Demon warriors. Afterwards he find his way to Earth, realize the demons are rampaging through Earth aswell, Helps the remaining people of earth escape and is left alone on Earth with the hellish forces. Once again goes back into hell after fighting on Earth itself where he fights and kills a great demon and saves Earth. If that isn't badass then I don't know what is. =PTreflis

Just to add a bit more, Hell told him to get out for being too hardcore and badass.

Every response to this thread should be Kratos.

He's ripped a god's head off and used it as a flashlight.

Beaten a persian general to death with a large wooden chest, put a ship's mast through the mouth of a Hydra...etc.

I dunno...but I have a list: Mario (c'mon, he kicks Bowser's ass a bazillion times, and those stupid goombas), Commander Shephard, ...that Scottish Captain from MW1 whose name escapes me, Master Chief, Altair (and Ezio), and Gordan Freeman.

• Snake from MGS.
• Sweettooth from Twisted Metal: Black.
• Kratos from God of War.
• Kain from Legacy of Kain series.

My top bad ass character would have to be Commander Shepard, simply because I played a lot of Mass Effect. Think about how he/she became a Spectre candidate. Had he/she not held off the Skyllian Blitz, survived the thresher maw on Akuze, or destroyed the batarian base on Torfan at the cost of his/her unit (depending on which backstory you picked for Shepard), he/she wouldn't be as special as he/she is supposed to be. Although, when you think about it, bad assery depends on your knowledge and skills with certain weapons and abilities, whether it's ranged, heavy, or light, as well as how you can master your environment and against certain enemy types. But even then, Shepard pwns everyone else.1wingedangel45

Shep isn't as bad ass as Wrex.

BTW: I might be wrong, but could you be angelw1ng from the ME boards?

While probably not the most badass, I think he's the coolest.

Geralt of Rivia, his mission? Hump every woman and kill every monster in a 10 mile radius, he's one BAMF.

Duke Nukem, no contest.

Someone mentioned Kratos ripping a boss' head off and using it as a flashlight. Duke Nukem ripped a boss' head off and took a dump down his neck whilst reading a newspaper. The Duke wins.

I'm sorry guys, but no one beats mah boy Siegfried.

Klonoa

pictured: one BAMF

In all seriousness it has to be Kratos.

I'm going with Sam "Serious" Stone.

I'll have to go with Dante or Vergil those are one BMF's.

Duke Nukem

BJ Blaskowics

Doom guy

Brick from Borderlands

Kratos

Sgt/Capt Soap MacTavish

Simon Belmont

Manny Calavera. He's the Grim Reaper! With a hot rod!

"Bound only by the paper-thin wrapper of mortality, a soul here lies, struggling to be free. And so it shall, thanks to a bowl of bad gazpacho, and a man named... Calavera."

And special mention to GLADoS. It takes a special kind of badass to sing you a song after trying to kill you.

Duke Nukem hands down. jg4xchamp
