The Best Sword-Sporting Character

[happysock]

Arbitar from halo nah thats pretty poor he's shite, Has to be septhiroth, a proper evil villain

I will go for Link as well...it was close between Cloud and Link but Link wins for being...erm kinda little.

But if I need to be original, Rayne;

Spoiler: Rayne, sporting two silver blades

I agree with that one.

Ivy from Soul Calibur: if you need a reason, then you haven't played the games.

Pyramid Head from Silent Hill: because if the game has to contain someone weilding a weird, oversized sword, it should be a weird monster who it is in character to be using said sword, not some annoying bishi who propably weighs less than the sword in question.

Dante, from Devil May Cry. Easily the greatest sword-wielder of all time.

This, or Nero, Nero's bad ass, but lacks the finesse of Dante.
EDIT: Oh yeah and Ryu from Ninja Gaiden
EDIT EDIT: Also, Deadpool is sweet.

Squall from FF VIII

Wow, I was going to say Cais from Firewarrior, but... yeah, I'll go with Squall as well.

Yumie. A nun with an alter ego. Who slices people in half. And then becomes a nun again and has no recollection of killing people.

Link
Dante
(I'm not sure if it counts since its not [i/]really[/i] sword but) Sora.

 

[Chimpzy_v1legacy]

Guts from Berserk. He's actually a manga/anime character but he was in two crappy games, so it counts.

Imagine Cloud, but infinitely more badass and manly, and wielding a sword that's even bigger than the buster sword. Oh, and his left arm hides a small cannon. And he wears armour that turns him berserk and to no longer care about pain. And he is in a great manga.

Spoiler: One Manly Badass

 

[timmytom1]

I'm going for the less popular:
Siegfried from soul calibur, because sometimes you just need to wield a sharper-than-normal SUV

Given that it takes 50 odd hits to take someone down with that sword i`d say it`s not very sharp,big yes,but not sharp

 

[Go Fighting In The War Room]

Llyod Irving and Travis Touchdown.

 

[TheSentinel]

Ha ha ha. You fools. Bickering over who's sword is bigger. It is not the size of the blade, but whether or not it is electrified!

 

[Darth Brownie]

Darth Maul
