Favorite melee weapon in any game (or real life?)

[Skuffyshootster]

In real life, the kukri wins.

For a video game, the Scout's baseball bat from TF2.

yall.

*Shudders*

(Just kiddin'. I like to poke fun, as long as fun doesnt poke really hard back at me.)

OT: The Power-Fist from Fallout 3. Who doesnt like a giant glove that makes you punch like a jack-hammer?

Haha a fellow Power Fist lover! I think the only thing that could make it better is if there were counterparts for your legs.

I love Nero's Red Queen from DMC4, its got a motorbike handle that can rev-up, sets on fire and just looks generaly awesome.

 

[KeefJM]

Black Health Pack-powered Fists

You can punch an enemy so hard that they are no longer distinguishable.
Hell Yes.

 

[Magnalian]

Soap-on-a-Rope. I don't know WHY they haven't put that into a video game yet.

It'd be way to overpowered. They'd have to program the bosses to flee in terror as soon as they smelled the soap.

For a realistic perspective, I study old western martial arts. The Italians had some skill with making longswords (Im not talking about rapiers, dunno why people confuse the two) And depending on the weight of the longsword, I might keep a Stilletto in my off-hand.
A Stilletto is a long Italian knife with no edge. It is only used for stabbing and blocking and the point should be kept very sharp. Its best used when aiming for the ribs. It easily slides between them and does gratuitous damage to the intestines.

You know, come to think of it, there was a forum discussion on what kind of weapon the wrist blades in assassins creed are. Im wondering if it is a possibility. From what I have seen, Altair/Ezio dont seem to slash or cut with them too much. Usually just lunge and stab....

 

[Randoms]

either power fist, supersledge from fallout 3 or Wirts leg from diablo 2
p.s. Wirts leg is a cripples wooden leg

 

[ninja555]

Hidden Poison Blade AC2.

 

[Nukey]

I love the katana, nothing says elegance like a weapon that can cut multiple people in half.

 

[Flying Dagger]

Zeno Clash Fisticuffs. or that inexplicably electric sword from operation anchorage.

 

[DarkLight523]

Crowbar, it has enough strength to kill a zombie with one hit.
It's light enough to not tire me out when killing a zombie horde.
It can be used to pry doors open so you can get away from zombies.
It can pry open weapon lockers to get the guns inside.
It can pry open locked ammo crates so you can arm you guns.

 

[Not-here-anymore]

The Soul Reaver. Who wouldn't want a ridiculous wavy sword that devours the souls of those it kills?

 

[Fingolfin High-King of the Noldor]

I love Armads from Fire Emblem. It's a gigantic axe. That's it...

 

[Cmwissy]

A fast/elegant sword for the assassin in us.

I despise how in every RPG the assassin class uses daggers - that's why I always use swords.


Such as a thin saif.

Spoiler

 

[jigs160]

the fisto! from fallout3 its a very powerful power fist.

 

[Gentelman Jim]

The Painkiller, mostly for the swishing noise.

 

[vampyricvoid]

Past: Sword from Shadow of the Colossus. Not only does it look badass, but it can also shoot light to reveal weak points!!!!
Present: Tac Knife in MW2. It is sooo cheap to get easy melee kills with it.
Future: My fists in Crysis while using super strength.

 

[orangebandguy]

The axe. Reliable and guaranteed a kill no matter how blunt the blade is.

 

[Fudgo]

Baseball bat. Bonk.

 

[Samnite]

Me.

What, we have to pick weapons you can hold? Tch, fine...

Give me another 5 years of training or so and I'll be holding a naginata
