Halo 2, I believe.Finch58 said:
Anyways, four way tie for me.
Dante, Vergil, Duke Nukem and Broly.
I lean more towards Broly because, even though you have two half-human, half-demon twins stylishly kicking the crap out of everything and Duke being the video game eqiuvalent of personified GOOD bad-ass, Broly would eat your first born child, rip you, and everything on the planet, in half, then rip the planet in half, then throw the halves of the planet at other planets, causing them to create a pinball-like effect of destruction, and then escape the collasping solar system...only to drop his pants and fart so damn hard it ionizes the system out of existance before it has the chance to completely collapse.
All while laughing his ass off....and that's just the first HOUR of his day.
He will throw you down the throat of some FREAKING SEAMONSTER.
then he goes to hell to kill you again. then he forces an ENEMY OF HIS to resurrect you. so he can kill you again. then he reads your letters of damnation. AND LAUGHS AT YOU.
Then he kills planet Earth. Because he can.
Badass #1. PERIOD.
I say that Duke is NOT the true videogame badass. He is a false prophet, tricking you into believing his badassitude extends beyond one-liners.
Bayonetta is a bit closer, as indeed, punching God into the Sun is quite a feat. However, it is much more badass to be able to throw the Sun AT God.
As such, there can only be one true winner:
You know this to be true. His penis alone is bigger than all the other candidates combined. THAT says something.

Duke Nukem, obviously. Stops alien invasions all by himself, while being a cocky badass the whole time.
Some others of note:
The Doom Guy (Doom) - Fought hordes of the legions of hell. And the Cyberdemon.
Alucard (Castlevania, Symphony of the Night) - Defeats Galamoth, Death, Dracula, and a billion minions.
Cloud (Final Fantasy VII-when he wasn't going emo) - Omnislash. Nuff' said.
Not really a hero, but Kane from Command and Conquer is pretty badass.

This, in fact I'm listening to his theme right now. And never ever except a duel against him, he will mess your shit up.Jazoni89 said:motherfucking Lu-Bu!.
If you play any dynasty warriors game, and Lu-Bu comes into the battle, you might aswell quit, because Lu-Bu will come knocking and he will rape your life bar with his overpowered moves.
And my honorable mention goes to V-13 from BlazBlue Calamity Trigger. The most ridiculously overpowered fighting game boss ever.
John Marston, easily. It's too easy to be a badass when you're wearing a 5" thick powersuit made of indestructible shit, or have a retardedly futuristic gun with enough firepower to take out an entire herd of bull elephants without needing to reload, or have magical fucking powers of some kind. John Marston is the ultimate badass because he doesn't need any of that shit. He's just a man with the same guns as his enemies, and despite this he's a quiet, polite badass who killed a whole fuckload of people.
I'm personally gonna put in a vote for Sgt. Cortez from the Timesplitters series.
It's time to split!
It's time to split!
OK. I'm going to end this thread right now.
Link kicks ass. Why? He kicks ass by virtue of being a knight.
Knights, as we all know from history class, kicked ass. They came in hordes, rode horses, and slashed people up good. Link does all those, and more. What killed knights? Longbowmen. Longbowmen were little crappers that had the annoying ability to shoot arrows right through the thickest of armor. Imagine rushing at the enemy, resplendent in your ass-kicking armor, and then the guy next to you falls down. Then, another flash of movement and there's an arrow through your chest. It went through your armor like it was paper. Those damned archers and their ass-kicking bows. While you're bleeding there, you realize that your ass-kicking was not superior to thiers, and if you had a bow of some sort you may have had superior ass-kickingness and then blazed through those little archer-men like they were nothing.
Link, however, is like an Archer-knight. He's got a sword, arrows, and a shield. He doesn't have that crappy armor that barely lets you move, he just carries a shield and then pwnz stuff hard. All his junk kicks ass too. He's got an Ocarina. The name Ocarina just kicks ass. But this isn't any Ocarina, its an Ocarina of Time. He can friggin travel through time with it, and he can do all sorts of cool stuff. He controls the planets rotation, changing day to night and vice-versa. This Ocarina kicks ass.
He has the help of faeries. In the rare event that he falls, they revive him. So you're all like, "YEAH! I killed him, and overcame his ass-kicking power!" and then he comes to life and then kills you, because he just kicks that much ass.
His arrows aren't just regular arrows, they're all sorts of crap. They can be infused with fire and never burn up, they can freeze people, and they can even vanquish evil with a few well-place shots. Not just that, but his bow-and-arrow isn't just a BAA, its a friggin missile launcher. THOSE ARROWS CAN CARRY FRIGGIN BOMBS! So this guy has the equivalent of a freeze-ray, a flamethrower, a gun-of-holiness, and some sort of rocket launcher. Just with his friggin arrows. Therefore, he must kick ass. Lots and lots of ass.
But it doesn't stop there. His shield kicks ass. It doesn't just defend him, it absorbs magic and THROWS IT BACK AT THE ENEMY. What the hell kind of attack is gonna get through that? You're all like, "Feel the wrath of my Hadoken-style magic beam of deathness, Elfie!" and then he catches it and flings it back at you. Then you die.
His shield kicks ass, but so does his sword. Not only is it a sword, but its a special sword. If Link isn't hurt, IT SHOOTS FRIGGIN LASER BEAMS. He has a sword that SHOOTS LASER BEAMS. I'm going to say it again, the sword SHOOTS LASER BEAMS! You're all like, "w00t! I'm 20 feet away and running faster than Link! I may not kill him, but he won't kill me!" Then he shoots you. Not with an arrow, which is cool but expected, but he shoots you with his sword. With his laser-beam firing sword.
He also uses magic. Invincibility-inducing magic. Teleportation magic. Ass-kicking fire magic. His sword charges with magic and shoots it outwards in a circle around him. So Link is like Samus, nearing the ass-kicking threshold. But he already has a hat. Unfortunately, he has a very hard time of taking the Ass-Kicking Beam of Light form, whilst samus just puts a funny hat ontop of her helmet. That is his one weakness.

Isn't that cute...
Anywyas Im going to say Duke Nukem also... He is so badass, he takes his sweet time to do things... like 12 years...
*Edit*
Knights were of typically noble up-bringing, and in many cases were complete dicks to everyone. Link is typically a kind of peasent character, that ends up saving the world when the big, ol' glorious knights couldnt handle the job. Calling Link a knight seems to be an insult to Link. If anything, his Martial skills, Archery abilities, and lower class up-bringing put him into a different catagory...Arnoxthe1 said:
