Vampires! We all want them dead! Who is your favorite slayer of the damned and protector of humanity?

The Belmonts and Scoobies are tied for my favorite, but I gave my vote to Simon because I just got Dawn of Sorrow. (Luckily, I bought it used, and the previous owner had already unlocked Julius Mode, so I didn't have to suffer through Soma's mode. But that's another thread for another day.)

Are Diva and her chiropteran considered "Vampires"? If so, I'd have to go with Saya Otonashi, only her blood can actually kill them.

Definitely Buffy, I love that show.

Van Helsing was kind of sexy in a hairy man-beast kind of way but Buffy kicks serious ass.

Aww, I thought it would be favourite hunters who are vampires, not hunters who are after vampires. I would have said Lord Aaron Wesley Wilkshire, the Silver Death from Vampire: the Masquerade lore. He is a vampire who makes a habit of hunting...everything. Did I say a habit? No, it's pretty much his religion and/or code of ethics to go and hunt prey - the bigger the better. His nickname comes from killing werewolves. His just hardcore.

Well, if it's people hunting vampires, then I'll have to go with Alucard from the Hellsing anime/manga (I also like the original anime). He's even more hardcore but Lord Wilksire...has a Lord in front of his name at all times. Also he has "the Silver Death" as a nickname.

EDIT: Oh shit, I forgot - the hunters from John Carpenter's Vampires! I think they are just so cool - they are normal dudes who go against immortal superbeings. The start of the movie has one of the coolest scenes I've seen
Couldn't find the scene itself but it's in the trailer - when they harpoon the vampire and then reel her in the sunlight. It was awesome.

Van Helsing, most definitely. He's just well...a badass. Seriously, that guy handles vampires like play things. Also, i'm one of the people who enjoyed the movie as a guilty pleasure sort of thing.

Buffy, definitely. My avatar makes my bias known. I loved that show so much. Faith may have been my favorite Slayer, though.

Van Helsing! Both because of Hugh Jackman and because the original was an elderly doctor who was still more competent at killing vampires and discerning what the hell was going on than pretty much all of England. I have a soft spot for hypercompetent elderly people.

Hm... Buffy is good, but my vote goes to "D", i guess. You know... VAMPIRE HUNTER D. Can't argue with that; in the title and everything.

Ninjas. Ninjas everywhere.

Now excuse me while I pull a "nothing to do here" while seeing so much fascination with the lowest common denominator "vampire hunters", jeeze.

Other. Specifically, Grunfeld Motherfucking Bach. Who's the Dutch(?) Catholic Priest whose a death machine for all the Vamps? Bach! You're damn right. They say that cat Bach is one righteous motherf-

Wasn't he German? I always assumed he is, although I don't think it's stated anywhere. And anyway, I can't call him a "death machine" the number of vampires we know he killed...is none. If we include his entire team...it's still no vampires. Sheesh, these guys suck. OK, maybe they managed to kill a Sabbat shovelhead or two but I'd hardly call this an accomplishment. And yeah, Bach possibly did kill more than that but we don't see it.

I'd even go as far to say that he and his team aren't terribly competent - Chastity, really? She truly is the master of stealth and blending in. OK, although I admit - being able to pull a friggin' katana out of a thong is impressive but she doesn't hide as well. And the other hunters after Ash? Yeah, talk about not blending in - a guy obviously surveying the club and obviously not out clubbing. And his plan was to...put a steak through Ash's heart in the middle of the club. Assuming he managed to get Ash...what then? People freak out, police gets called, the guy is still charged with murder. At most, he might actually...turn Ash to ash but otherwise nothing would have actually happened - Ash gets declared "dead", then Isaac pulls a few strings and his childe walks free, although possibly having to relocate somewhere he isn't known.

I admire the guy for having some actual True Faith and also the Society of Leopold does manage to be threatening, but none of this was actually shown.

Guy is the second hardest boss fight in the game, only beaten out by that nigh-invincible ***** Ming Xiao, assuming you don't have a Flamethrower, anyway. I'd call that pretty badass, considering what he's facing and what he is.

It's hard as in "oh, sheesh, I have to wait again" - at least Xiao would damage you. Yeah, having True Faith is an accomplishment, as I said, but the actions of his team are incompetent and he (and the others) aren't revealed to have killed any vampire at all.
