Personal moments of badassery go!

[The Funslinger]

My alliance guild in wow said I couldn't pvp with them because I am a girl...so I rolled a troll shadowpriest character on horde, leveled it up and finally killed them all in arathi basin one after the other. They were wearing Naxx 40 man gear and I had blue pvp items.

It was glorious.

I got kicked from the alli guild for about 10 minutes as a joke.

"You can't come PvPing with us 'cos you're a GURRRRL!"

The manchildren stereotype strikes again...

Really, the implications that gives as to why they let you join is a little sad. I assume they don't make that excuse anymore, though?

 

[The Wykydtron]

Thinking whether Ranked would be easier with Kat or harder with Kat... It depends if your team has their shit together as always I suppose XD

Well, the other team would have to actually go out of their way to not counterpick you, really...Kata's hard to play efficiently, but so damn fun when you manage to get such a game.

What role does Kat usually play in Ranked? I assume solo mid since solo top is usually Battle of the Tanks. Always dominated by Garen whenever he's in the game of course.

Yeah if you have a good initiator Kat can just Shunpo into the enemy team and watch them play a deadly game of Hunt The Katarina before they all die horribly. Oh and if the rest of the team isn't umming and arring on the edges of the fight you can even Shunpo out before you get focused down. I still want to see a Morgana/Katarina combo. If Morg ever gets out of Permabanned status that is.

Black Shield + Death Lotus sounds like such a badass combo...

I still love her passive.

Double Ultimate haters!

It was back in vanilla so a long time ago now. I definitely went up in their estimations I think. lol

Sometimes I still feel that I have to prove myself to an extra extent because I'm a lass though. Whether that's true or just my problem is unknown though haha.

 

[ToastiestZombie]

In Fallout 3: I too was using the Wanderers Edition mod. I was in utter shit. Pretty much all my limbs were broken, I had run out of surgical supplies AND stimpaks. I was on barely any health, about two more shots from any weapon would kill me. I was in the Science museum, doing the Galaxy News Radio quest. I had gotten into the room with the satellite dish thingy. When BAM, three motherfuckin' Super Mutants come out of nowhere. I ran like shit back the way I came. Then I remembered, I had two Bottlecap mines. So I laid them down, and simply watched as the Super Mutants walked into them one by one. Each dying in a massive explosion. I felt like such a crafty badass then.

And that's why I love playing the Wanderers Edition of Fallout 3.

My number one most badassery thing I have done...Airsofting.

The Scene last game before lunch at a sites opening day, casual players and seasoned mil simmers.

My load out Sig552, 226 side arm,

Spoiler: a mini mp5

and a 2 quid toy shop springer - manually got to pull the slide back each shot (can't find a picture that can demonstrate it's cheapness).

Loading up for the game - Looking like a 2 cent rambo people laughing at me taking toy guns out...

Mission: Advance from Base too the Safe Zone.

Pre badassery (The set up for awesome) - Clearing my way through "pallet town" with my proper guns, my teams dropping, < 15 shots in the last mag on the 552, got a partially loaded mag on the pistol. Toys unused.

Badassery.

Heading down a corridor spot targets and lace two people whilst advancing - 552 clicks dry.

Draw Pistol - Proceed down corridor towards a room, get shot at by some geezer in cover return fire to force him deeper into it, slide locks back, no more 226.

Draw Springer and flank...Bumped into another person and springer him like a boss, quickly springer the original guy who turns up to take me out.

Look out of building, across the deadzone is a handful of them...Muster up some run power and dart out of door, letting fly a round at movement - Hear someone yell hit - crash into cover.

Peak and see where I gotta be but with 3 people scurrying about.

Pull out the mini.

Jihad out of cover like a pellet spraying god, leg it towards the safe zone.

Dodge seemingly every shot.

Somehow hit the nearest dude.

Shit gets bullet time and I see one pellet catch in the breeze and hook into a guy who declares hit. <- Honestly the coolest thing my eyes have seen me do

Nearly there...

Last guy rolls over the corner of his cover...M203.

I go down in a wall of white pain.

Cheers from people watching.

The marshal who was following this was omg'ing at the awesomeness for the rest of the day.

I personally thank luck xD

I really should take it up again

 

[Erttheking]

Was playing Dark Souls and fighting the Iron Golem for the...3rd 4th or 5th time I forget. I wasn't doing very well, the guy was wailing on me and I was forced to use up all of my flasks. I was whacking away at him and he did that off balance thing while at the edge of the tower. I remembered how he had knocked me off in a previous fight and said to myself "God, it'd be nice if HE fell off." Then I hit him, he stumbled back...and he did just that. I was so shocked I didn't even speak, but in hindsight it's pretty damn awesome. Really it's moments like that that make Dark Souls worth playing.

Also one time in Halo Reach when I was playing invasion I was attempting to capture a point all by myself when four Spartans swarmed me. I was able to kill one before they got me down. However, before I died I managed to drop a plasma grenade and they were all clustered together. So in other words I died, but I brought down four other players with me. It was a good death.

 

[SirPlindington]

I was playing TF2 as a sniper on... erm... a map. It was almost certainly a map. Anyway, I'm all set up, the other team is jostling to get out, the game starts, they pour out, and... I headshot every last one. Seriously, corpses were piling up outside the door. It was glorious. Slaughter on a scale I've never seen before. Then a demoman blows me to hell, but it was fantastic while it lasted. Ahh. Good times. It was complete luck, but still good.

 

[namhorFnodroG]

I have one moment from yesturday actually. I was playing Counterstrike : Source at the map hoejhus9 (If you know what map I'm talking about, you will understand what I'm saying. Otherwise, use your imagination).

Spoiler: Long story

I was playing T, and joined late to the game. Right when i spawned, the last 2 teammates died, and it was 5 CT against me. I had enough startingmoney to pick up a scout, a flashbang and a smoke. First, i popped one skull from spawn on a guy who was going to look after me. Then walked over the bridge, and popped a flash down at the side to CT spawn. Then i bhopped down to their spawn, picked up 2 Headshots from stunned people, needed to reload, dropped it and picked up a CT's M4A1 and got another Headshot. Then it was 1v1, and the guy had gone hiding in the glassbox. I threw down my smoke, and jumped right into him. Knifed him to death as the last kill. Got kicked because the admin thought i had WH.

Short story: 5 People Vs me, killed 4 with HS, knifed the last guy, got kicked.

[Carbonyl]

Last month I fire-danced in front of over 800 people five times. It was pretty badass.

 

[Lunar Templar]

Vindictus

Battle: Blade of Silence
now, all of Ortel Castle is kinda of a pain due to the 'trash mobs' actually posing a threat, unlike every over area. anyway, its my first run and we get to the boss, Silberin, and his pet Golem. at first the battle was going pretty average, then we started running out of feathers (item used to resurrect fallen ally's) and pretty soon its down to just me, a mostly dead Golem
and a half dead Silberin, and no way get rez anyone. so after dispatching the Golem, to learned 'fuck ... they respawn', i shift my focus to Silberin, whom still had enough HP to be a *****. mind you, never fought this guy before, i didn't know his moves, so i was fighting more or less blind, and after a rough 10 minutes (he teleports, shoots lightning some times, and then there was dodging his damned Golem) i final put him down, felt like such a bad ass afterward.

then there was the first time i solo'd Hidden, a giant spider raid boss, now every one solo's it for the EXP, there's a bit of a choke point where you need to grind a few levels, but its still a raid boss and it was still intimidating, now i can kick his ass with about any one, but felt like a badass that first time, actually, i felt like that every time i solo'd a 'hard boss' in that game.

hmm ... maybe i should try to solo Titan some time ....

 

[Furioso]

World of Warcraft, my guild and I were fighting that one boss in I think the Lich Kings fortress (been a while) at that boss before the scientist that mutates, the behemoth guy that has the pools of poison form around him.

Anyways, everyone was dead, and I, the rogue, was the only one left to fight against the boss with a sliver of health. So I popped my cooldowns and dodged like a badass and took him down with only 25 HP left, good times.

Oh one more, in Team Fortress 2 I play on servers that use the VS. Saxton Hale mod, a mod where one person is Saxton Hale, meaning he has rediculous amounts of health, scout level speed, a typically one hit punch, a super jump, and a shout that fears everyone for a few seconds. One round Hale had about 1/2 his health, I was the scout and the last alive of course (scouts always survive the longest in this mode) and I managed to side step out of Hales way only for him to run off of the edge in Nucleus. I then watched him constantly try to superjump out only to keep hitting his head on stuff, knocking him back in, until he died

 

[Misterian]

In Fallout: New Vegas, I killed a full-grown Deathclaw, with my fists!

Okay, so I used a fully-repaired Balistic Fist, but still... I even survived blocking it's claw swipe.

 

[danodanz]

Years and years ago, I was but a wee ten year old. And I needed a way of getting Final Fantasy music.
So I popped on FF7, and recorded the music with a small recorder. Anyway....


I was taking on Sephiroth in his last form, with the team of Cloud, Yuffie and Cait Sith. A weird team but hey hoh.


And shockingly, I killed him without taking any damage whatsoever.

The song on the tape was forever tarred with me shouting "Wow!".


Needless to say I've not managed it since.

 

[lord Claincy Ffnord]

Most recent one I remember I was playing might and magic dark messiah on the hardcore difficulty, was a couple of missions in when you first get to a forge. Hmm a couple of guards up ahead, now I could use charm to get one to attack the other and then polish them off, I could sneak past, engaging them in straight sword melee combat was probably a bad idea as I was playing heavily as a mage. Then remembered the hammer sitting on the anvil back at the forge....I wonder if I could.... Went back, grabbed it and successfully pummeled both guards with it, not sure if I even took a hit.

 

[shadyh8er]

I did this in Uncharted 3.

 

[RedDeadFred]

Dodged three different ults as Shaco. I was low on health and had the misfortune of walking into a bush where Nunu was preparing his ult, I flashed out just in time only to see Ashe's enchanted crystal arrow nearly about to smack into me. I managed to deceive out of the way just in time. During all of this, the enemy Karthus had activated his ult and it was about to go off. I timed my ult just right almost right after I dodged Ashe's arrow to narrowly escape Requiem.

I'm generally decent at flash dodging in high tension situations but I had only just started using Shaco. It was the first time that's I'd pulled of a dodge with his ult.

I have never played Shaco, does his Ult make him untargetable for a split second? He does the Decieve smoke thing then splits in two. I thought only Fizz had the "fuck you Karthus" button... And Soraka but hey an Ult for an Ult right? XD

Yes Shaco's ult actually makes him disappear completely from the map for half a second. Fizz's fuck you Karthus is quite a bit longer and easier to pull off. Then of course there are Nocturn and Sivir with even bigger fuck you Karthus buttons.

 

[ThatDarnCoyote]

Planetside.

I was playing an NC sniper, can't remember what continent it was, I think it was Cyssor. Anyway, I was hunkered down with a sizable force of NC slugging it out with a sizable force of TR on the opposite side of a bridge. Tanks, mech, tons of aircraft, basically a giant battle between things much bigger than me, with me hiding in hopes of not getting squashed by either side.

I was hiding behind a section of wall, and there is an NC MAX suit behind there with me, trying to pop rounds at the enemy vehicles and generally crowding me out of my own cover. I'm looking for any infantry to shoot at, but there aren't any.

Across the bridge, I see an enemy Deliverer APC rolling through the battle, taking multiple hits from the surrounding aircraft. Lacking anything else to do, I start firing my sniper rifle at it. One shot, two, three, and then suddenly my name pops up in the killspam four times in a row, with the sniper rifle icon next to it. The MAX guy stops firing and says in chat, "What the hell did you hit?"

A moment later, I got a congratulatory message, from the guy who had been driving the APC when I blew it up. Even he was impressed.

Okay, so it's a glorified kill-steal, but still, it was glorious.

 

[Hezz]

So the threads lately seem to have gotten slightly super srs lately so time to break out the tried and tested "who has the most bad-est skillz in video game history?"

Just today in League of Legends I finally Flash dodged an Ezreal Ultimate (as Support Soraka as well) that 100% would have killed me. I can never pull that shit off since my reaction speed is that of a lazy donkey most of the time. He fired it rather close to me as well... I even had to heal myself through the follow up teleport/laser beam combo Well done me. ^^

Ok, I wasn't going to respond to this thread, but your example reminded me of a similar situation.

I was Cho'gath, and I was chasing after the enemy Ashe, who was low healthed. She couldn't risk shooting me without allowing me to hit her with a Rupture or a Feral Scream, but I had other plans for her anyway.

I flashed directly on top of her just as she shot her ultimate arrow trying to stun me. The result was, I flashed directly over the giant arrow, and ate her up with Feast. Felt pretty awesome leapfrogging her shot to eat her.
