[Infernai]

The soul reaver easily. Sure, it...has a bad habit of making non-vampires go completely batshit bonkers eventually. But, it never rusts, it cannot be broken by anything except another soul reaver (Long story) and doesn't need sharpening. Plus! It devours the souls of any enemy it is used against.

No guys, what you really want, is this. *snip*

MacGyver would be pleased.

 

[Jake0fTrades]

It would have to be a Japanese Tanto. Hands-down.

Spoiler: Tanto

 

[electric_warrior]

The Meat Cleaver from Demon's Souls

That thing kicks ass

 

[Logic 0]

A lead pipe, because if it's good enough for a silent hill protagonist it's good enough for me.

 

[Kelethor]

the equalizer

 

[Dango]

Tonfa, probably because they're used by Talim, my favorite fighting game character ever.

 

[InsaneOne10]

Halberd, halberds forever, it's like the multi-tool of melee combat. That or a round shield.

 

[Hero in a half shell]

Ahh, a Flammarde for one-on-one duels

Spoiler: Its so... elegant

And a Grossemesser for brawls

Spoiler: It's so... kickass!

 

[krection]

The Hammor of Thor. With a chainsaw attached to it. It also has a fold in/fold out minigun.

 

[Gladiateher]

The Garrot. Easy to conceal, make and use.

 

[Twilight_guy]

Shishkebab from Fallout. Why just slice a guy in half when you can slice him in half and light him on fire with your flaming sword of death?

 

[Willinium]

A spear is incredibly unwieldy in close quarters and is pretty much useless for anything other than a forward piercing motion. If you were swarmed with combatants in close combat, or even just zombies, you wouldn't stand much of a chance. - Gralian

Not true if in the situation you segested you can use the spear if it is sturdy enough a staff. If used as a staff you would be able to get them away from you atleast enough to give some space.

 

[Flailing Escapist]

A blender.

So when I'm chasing you down a poorly lit hallway I can yell, "WILL IT BLEND?!"

 

[sumanoskae]

A good ole fashioned sword. If there's a sword in a game you can be sure I'l use it

 

[OldNewNewOld]

The Master sword.
Duh.

 

[William Ossiss]

This:

Spoiler

Best knife ever.

that knife would be simply flimsy at best. the ornate handle and blade would have no effect on actual combat.

OT: spear/axe combo. like a trident.

 

[Breywood]

Sais [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sai_%28weapon%29]. Good in close quarters, excellent defensive capability. Can also trap other weapons or even break swords if used properly.
