Most Badass Video Game character

[Intoki]

I see why everyone likes master chief so much.

I many times Auron as a bad ass, not because of anything he will ever tell you, but because of his actions and what you find out. The ultimate show, not tell of badassery.

And then there's Zhang He...

Make fun of him all you want. He doesn't care. He is perfectly composed at all times and (in his story) takes over all of China for Wei! In DW5, he's actually one of the best characters to be because of how damn FAST he is and his big claws. Fear the bad ass butterfly!

(Edit: For the life of me, I cannot get the image to actually pop up even with the instructions on how to do so in another tab. *foreheadslap*)

I defy you to argue against my choice!

Jesus H Christ. I was expecting a lot of possibilities but I was not expecting Dan Hibiki. Well played.

For me, it's Mike Toreno.

 

[Winstolf Hithill]

Er, I'll go with The Darkness, it was a total badass and a bastard too!

 

[Jesse Smith]

if not alucard i would have to say gordan freeman simply because of the fact that he accomplished all that he did while being naught but a physicist, a normal, presumably weak, human being with no battle experience what so ever.

I said it once and I'll say it again this guy cannot be beaten. Anyone who doesn't know who this is, will first be punched, and then be told its the main character from shadow of the colossus.

Sam Fisher is the ultimate badass. No other character even comes close to his level of complete and utter badassery. Did I mention that he is a badass? No? Well he is.

this guy, chosokabe motochika fro msengoku basara

http://www.creativeuncut.com/gallery-09/sb-chosokabe-motochika-cg.html

four reasons why, firstly he's a pirate. second, he can surf through the sky with that giant anchor of his while its on fire. third, his house is a castle on a boat. and finally, unlike most of the so called 'badasses' listed here he is the nicest guy you will ever meet


another prime example of badassery is sol badguy from guilty gear, by virtue of being one giant shoutout to queen. also, his name

 

[Lord Beautiful]

Original series Dante, not the new reboot Adam Lambert version.

I rest my case.

These guys have the right idea. This is a guy who launched an enemy into the air by hitting it with a flower, belittled a giant three-headed ice-covered death beast, stood his ground while blocking a punch from a fifty-story-high stone demon, and laid the smackdown on Satan. I think he wins.

 

[Josh Kurber]

Original series Dante, not the new reboot Adam Lambert version.

I was hoping someone would finally say Dante D

I love him. He is very badass (aside from the corny as hell lines he spills in every single game...)

 

[Sliverwings]

Freya Crescent is a badass

Sorry but I'm going to have to stop you there and one-up you with...

"Prepare for the greatest warrior of all!!!......The unparalleled Tadakatsu!"


While I agree Motochika is pretty awesome, he still isn't Tadakatsu Honda.

Dante from DMC is a runner-up though.

For me its Kratos hands down. I had considered Auron, Snake, Raiden (yes he's badass now), Batman, and even Auron (from FFX) but Kratos takes the cake.

I simply don't understand how people can think Kratos is badass. I mean, he certainly has the bad part down, and he is definitely an ass, but he's just not a badass.

Being badass requires more than just dumb muscle, it requires virtues, like bravery. If you're a dead-inside, death-seeking, or reckless beyond rational logic, you're not brave, you're just a mindless killing machine.

I have to agree with this.

I've noticed a lot of folk refer to some game characters as badass, but in reality their nothing more than selfish massive cunts. Extra Credits did a great deconstruction of Kratos and by second and third they label him, aptly, an 'evil git with no redeeming qualities.'

Characters such as Master Chief, Duke Nukem and Gordon Freeman are all Badass to me because they're out to save the day and do it in the most amazing way possible with no questions asked.

Also, inb4 John Marston is badass, because he's not. He's a whiny ***** who works for the government and everyone else he meets despite them constantly lying to him, while his family has been kidnapped. Badass would be not doing any of those tasks, but rather tracking his family before the agents realise he has gone rogue, much like Arnie in Commando. But that wouldn't really work with the redemption aspect of the story...

I extremely agree.

My vote goes to the goddamn Batman.

 

[ecoho]

Well it's time for my awkward first post.
I'd have to say Kratos is the ultimate badass, killing Zeus, Aries, Poseidon, Hades, and screwing Aphrodite is pretty badass.

OK but...even this guy can kill Hades

Spoiler: Yes Him

OT I'd have to say, the most badass characters I know areee

Spoiler: this guy

Spoiler: this guy

Spoiler: and him

lol to the first so true and i also agree with

[LegionOfMany]

Except of course when his game was promised 15 some years ago, XD

 

[Grey_Focks]

Tie between Batman and Master Chief. They both just kick a little too much ass.

Your badasses may kill things, but Recette will hurt you where it hurts most...in the WALLET!

Spoiler: recette makes bank off your badassness
