I can tell that most people are trying to refrain from posting: "Link" too often but he's definitely my top pic.

but runners up are:
Kratos (God of War) he fights with swords attached to CHAINS!!!
Meta Knight (Kirby) really fast and furious and without a doubt goes overlooked here
Auron (FFX) The dude uses ONE ARM to wield a sword nearly AS BIG AS HIM and still kicks sin-ass
Protagonist (Shadow of Colossus) Can you scale mountain-like beasts under harsh conditions, then whilst riding them, effectively take them down with your near tooth-pick (in comparison) like blade? Didn't think so!


...of course I can't forget Marth (Fire Emblem/Smash Brothers) probably the most elegant use of a sword ever witnessed... oh yeah and did I mention he's effin GOD TIER in melee

Does a variant of a sword count?

If so, Squall and his gunblade (FFVIII).

If not, Wander (Shadow of the Colossus).

So many to choose from, so I'll just stick them in a top five. Everybody loves top fives!

Zero (Megaman X/Zero)
Ryu Hayabusa (Ninja Gaiden)
Strider Hiryu (Strider)
Cyborg Ninja (Metal Gear Solid)
Samanosuke Akechi (Onimusha)

Non of these are in any order, I just feel as though these are some of the best swordsmen in video games.

The guy from Spartan Total Warrior (amazing game) with any of his swords, they all kicked ass anyway.

I would say Cloud would take Link's place because you have to admit that a 12 year old girl who can lift two cubic tonnes of sword is damn impressive.
Cubic Tonnes?
you cant cube a weight you can only cube or square measurments of length.
Any way its hard to think of someone who uses a sword so umm. i have no clue really anyone who picks up a sword really can use one. "hold blunt end and pointy end goes into your target"
A cubic ton is a measure of volume, two cubic tons being rather large.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_tonne

Whats the point of replying too a topic if you don't have anything to say?

I think I would like to change my vote to Minsc, he would wipe the floor with Cloud.
ok i just thought a cubic tonne couldnt be a measurment becuase a tonne is a weight and a cubic tonne would be a different amount of whatever object your measuring and i still dont see how to cube a weight so anyway that 2 cubed tonne sword would be huge really how big is it in the game?. and iv come up with a sword guy Valdis from dungeon seige 2. he probly isnt too tough its just his sword really.

Felix/Isaac from Golden Sun (man I think about that game too much) with the Sol Blade. What can beat a sword that can send a sun to your enemies? And it is going to keep happening because of its naturally high crit, plus any awesome crit boosters. Plus, its unleash, Megiddo, just sounds cool and dates back, I'll say Mesopotamian times.

Can't really say that I know of many v.g.c.'s that wield swords, so I'll just say my Sparrow with the Daichi from Fable 2.

Ryu Hayabusa, hands down. And for the record, he'd kick Dante's poncy arse :D
Im not so sure, Dante is the son of Sparda thats alot of power.
True but Ryu is a decendent of the Dragons, plus he has a kickarse katana

Arbiter, he is bad ass. And it is not like Master Chief because that is his primary weapon.
True but the Arbiter doesn't NEED his Energy sword to kill the Chief, lol.

I prefer the Halo Wars Arbiter though he was badass.
