The Best Sword-Sporting Character

[vexx014]

u got to hand it to link he's the man

 

[Syndarr]

Seconding Raziel from Soul Reaver, and adding Kain by extension, since they technically have the same sword.
Also seconding Joachim Armster, because he's just FUN to play, especially after having to fight him.

And my picks, in ascending order of awesome:
3) Samanosuke Akechi from Onimusha.
2) Zappa from Guilty Gear XX (though the sword wields him more than the other way around...)
1) Caim from Drakengard. Hymir's Finger, anyone? :3

 

[LewsTherin]

and if i branch to non-game Id say Rand Al'Thor The Dragon Reborn wielding Callandor the sword that is not a sword

Hi five.

Sephiroth. Megalomania and a 9 foot long katana.

Joshua from Fire Emblem, Sacred Stones.

Kratos

Aurion.

Kratos Aurion.

 

[Jamash]

Pirates better than ninjas?
Surely you must be joking.
Ryu Hayabusa could kick that guy's butt to oblivion.

I'm not joking, and don't call me Shirley.

Real Warrior & Pirate > Fictional Ninja.

 

[The Kind Cannibal]

Altaïr bin Al-Ahad, aka the protagonist in Assassins Creed.

 

[SirJewBagel]

How can I be the first one to mention Kratos? A man so awesome he can initiate threesomes just by crashing into the womans baths and glaring.

beat me to it, really though why has no one else nominated him? chains or not its still a sword

 

[Calamity]

Izanagi counts right?
I mean...he's technically a part of the main character from P4

 

[cainx10a]

The Witcher, he's basically a non-gay Dante.

I didn't know Dante had an attraction for males. Oh, and it's Geralt.

 

[plastic_window]

Nightmare. Unless they spell it differently in the game. If you just look at him, he looks totally bad ass. Not as slow as you might think, plus he's got that huge hand that just lays the smack-down on anyone in his path.

Don't listen to him though, it spoils the atmosphere.

Best sword weilding character is

Me FTW
Sorry its small its the best I could do

 

[Avatar Roku]

Wow, hooray for Marvel: Ultimate Alliance. That allows me to use Deadpool. But in all honesty, who doesn't love the Merc With A Mouth.

Yeah, he was awesome in that game, one of my favorites. I mean, two swords and two of what I can only assume are SMGs? That's awesome.

and Gray Fox...because he gimped a bipedal nuclear deathtank with a sword.

I'm just going to go out on a limb and say all the cyber ninjas from Metal Gear, so Gray Fox, Olga, and Raiden.

EDIT:

Altaïr bin Al-Ahad, aka the protagonist in Assassins Creed.

Yes! And, for that matter, the Prince from the PoP games.

 

[Bulletinmybrain]

How can I be the first one to mention Kratos?

He's not exactly 'known' for using a sword though is he?

He is more known for ripping monsters apart with his bare hands like a real man should. Damn prissy Japanese girly men, they woudn't know manly if it bent them over infront of a crowd had its way with them and then started dismembering random bystanders.

The entire length of the game, Deadpool never left my team. I think my final team was Blade, Ice Man, Deadpool, and....damn...one of the other obscure characters.

There have been a few games based on Rurouni Kenshin...not sure if any of them were good or not tho...and the thread title doesn't specify if it has to be a videogame character.

This is a thread to discuss your favorite video game characters with swords.

 

[Mr. Payne]

Me. My charachter. Life is my video game. life is an escape and i need an escape from this horrible escape. And swords are cool.

 

[Azazcyh]

Gray Fox from metal gear solid
Cyborg Ninja FTW

 

[Grampy_bone]

Bah, you're all wrong. The best swordsman ever is Citan Uzuki. I mean, he was already the strongest character in the game with just his fists; yet picking up a sword made him ten times more awesome.

 

[9-liner]

Pamela Sue Voorhees. Got a problem with that? Take it up with her family...
