Most badass playable character?

[Me Am Greatest Warrior]

Knuckles from the first Sonic games and definantly Captain Falcon and Falco.
Master Chief really doesn't feel badass to me, he's just doing his job. He's probably as badass as a person who wakes and goes to work at the office.

 

[Aries_Split]

Solid.Mother.Fucking.Snake.

 

[The Iron Ninja]

Solid mother fucking snake on a mother fucking plane.



The Priest in age of empires.

 

[Haberley]

Other people have mentioned most of mine already, so I'll just reiterate:

Knuckles of 'Sonic &' fame
Jack from Bioshock
Conker the Squirrel
Raz from Psychonauts

 

[Corven]

agent-47
solid snake
and HK-47.

 

[Omnidum]

Sir Daniel Fortesque. The first playable skeleton ever.

 

[roo18]

Bryan Fury from Tekken 3. I loved that guy.

 

[Graustein]

Said several times, but Samus Aran, *****.
She kills radioactive mutant abominations, single-handedly wipes out entire SPECIES and blows up planets.

Samus Aran.

 

[Wilfy]

Kratos obviously
Turok because he kills dinosaurs with a knife
And of course Bowser and Shadow the Hedgehog

 

[rottenbutter]

Dan Smith from Killer 7.
The man just oozes badassness.

I mean just look:

[Souplex]

Kirby. Now I know what you are thinking, how is that adorable puffball badassed? The plot of squeak squad is him leaving a trail of destruction all over the world, eating his enemies alive along the way all for a slice of strawberry shortcake.

 

[the protaginist]

Cryptosporidium 138

Oh,how could you not love Crypto? the only character with good one-liners.

 

[Ritamio]

Ethan Thomas.

I mean, seriously. He gets his finger CUT OFF and then goes off to bash the crazy guys heads in like nothing happened!

 

[FredIsHere]

I have to say CABAL/LEGION of command and conquer as you play as him in CnC3 KW.

 

[Raynaux]

Playing as Vile in Megaman X for the PSP is awesome and he's the most badass of all megaman villians ^^

Anyone who looks like Boba Phet is badass to begin with. God damn is his campaign hard too.

 

[kaiein]

Master Chief, Gordon Freeman, Link, Cloud, Squall, Conker, Duke Nukem as well

 

[searanox]

Geralt from The Witcher has some totally badass moments, as does Shepard from Mass Effect. I'd have to say that J.C. Denton from Deus Ex wins over all of them, though. There's nothing like playing as a politically-aware cyborg with sunglasses, a trench coat, and superpowers.

 

[Calzzzone]

As mentioned, Hk-47 is just too "cute"

And, of course, Brad Wong from DoA.

Drunken Boxing saves the day!

 

[Devil's Due]

Kane from the C&C series.
