Rapiers, Cutlasses & Broadswords there all types of Swords so a Gunblade should count even if there is no real word counterpart.Fightgarr said:
He also had the Blade of Artimus in the 1st game too. I thought the Blades of Chaos were more like over sized daggers or something.Indigo_Dingo said:
Guts/Gutsu from Sword of the Berserk: Guts Rage the game had great programming if you were in a narrow hall you couldn't swing the sword around well cuase it would hit the wall or celling and you'd have to go hand-to-hand.
You mean that Yoachim Armster guy?B-lockdown080 said:
My personal vote goes to Gilgamesh, that 8-armed warrior guy from Final Fantasy V. Only one of his weapons is a sword, so if you're gonna pick nits about that, take the FFXII one. I wonder where two of his arms went, there...
"Known" The shitty sub weapon does not count. As for the blades, myeh, compared to his character model they always looked like knives.Indigo_Dingo said:
and if i branch to non-game Id say Rand Al'Thor The Dragon Reborn wielding Callandor the sword that is not a sword
That thing is a sword? It looks more like a really long trouble light like you see in auto shops. I'd say the hero of the Ninja Five-O game. That was a really cool ninja game. It's still one of my favorites even after playing all the Ninja Gaiden, Shinobi etc. games.Souplex said:
Known for wielding a sword? Well, I guess I'll vote for Nariko then. You know, from "Heavenly Sword"
However, if we're allowed to choose sword-wielders not originating in, but having appeared in videogames (like the Deadpool example above), my vote goes to Goemon Ishikawa XIII from the Lupin the 3rd franchise (which includes several games across different systems). He's at least seven kinds of awesome when it comes to swordplay.

I'd have to give it to Cloud Strife myself. He's a classic.
I'm reluctant to go into characters that were created for another form of media, because then I'd have to start thinking in terms of guys like Conan and Drizzt or whomever. Drizzt having been in a few games, and well... Conan has been around in video games in one form or another for ages.
Thinking of things that way you'd kind of have to say Conan because let's be honest: he's the prototype on which pretty much all modern sword-wielding heroes sprung from (even if there are some that are technically older). NOBODY beats Conan.
