They're just... Bad-Ass!

[Asdalan08]

Sometimes in games you find characters that are awesome, sometimes they become Epic.

And some... cannot be explained in normal words. Our ancestors saw this coming and invented a term for a character or object so... impossible to describe.

We still use this today, the term. Bad-Ass.

But is there any characters that you seriously see almost nothing wrong with, something so perfect that nothing else describes them. For me that character is Dante from Devil May Cry but I want to know yours.

Lu Bu, just.....epic

 

[Korten12]

Despite what many (not all) say:

more so if you read the book "Fall of Reach."

JESUS CHRIST

edit:to the post above me I disagree,the actual most epic halo guy is Sergeant Johnson

He knows what the ladies like

 

[jamradar]

He may not be a video game character but he is the definition of bad-ass.
Stone Cold Steve Austin

A lot of Arc System works characters like SOL, Chipp, Ragna, and my personal favorite:

The white Void himself, Hakumen.

Oh and in b4 Kratos!

Motherphucking ninja OP...curse your guts.

The runner-ups are Jim Raynor (from StarCraft 2), The Rook (from [DEMIGOD]), and Starkiller (from The Force Unleashed). One's a badass normal, one's a walking castle, and the last one is the universe's biggest Mary Sue. More to the point, they were all awesome.

I'd say Solid Snake and Big Boss. I'd give more examples, but Wyes ninja'd me.

They've always described Gran Turismo as a "CarPG", and if that's the case, the cars are characters, and this character stood head and shoulders above the rest.

The Suzuki Escudo Pikes Peak. It is your god. Bow down.

 

[shadyh8er]

Kratos. He's not "perfect" (Extra Credits dedicated a whole video to just pointing out his flaws) but he fits the definition of Bad-Ass no matter which way you slice it.

This may seem weird, but I also put Bayonetta in this category. I mean come on! She's got guns on her FEET and knows how to use them, and she kills her enemies with her HAIR!

I would also like to mention the most dysfunctional family in video game history, the Mishimas from Tekken. They hate each others' guts, and two of them could turn into a demon. 'Nuff said.

 

[hittite]

Duke Nukem. 'Nuff said.

I'm going to have to say Minato Arisato ("nameless" protagonist of Persona 3 fes). He was a player, controlled the Messiah, voice of god, and different forms of Satan, AND sacrificed his life to make seal to seal the ultimate evil, all with the cool calm confident quiet smile that says, "so?"

 

[Call Me Arizona]

You guys may rib me to death but...

Axel. He's just so laid back and cool throughout the game. Plus, he and Roxas are adorable.

 

[Dango]

I hope I ninja people...

You succeed. But even Auron cannot withstand the might of Rachel Alucard!

She doesn't get KO'd, she just gets bored of fighting you.

 

[omega 616]

So bad-ass! Hell, most MGS are bad-ass, even Raiden in the forth.

Though I love Master Chief.......(not that kind of love you pervert!)
