[idodo35]

well yea...
not suprisingly a chainsaw...

 

[n.s.c.m.]

Clawed Gauntlets, I could rock a fight with a pair of those.

 

[Dragonpit]

Go, Pokeball!

 

[teebeeohh]

a naginata that is so high-tech it can fold itself to the length of a comfortable walking stick for better transport, plus it does not get as much attention AND makes for a cool unfolding animation at the beginning of combat.

From what I have by my bed, I'd go with a KA-BAR, or a Gerber machete. But really, in a close space a machete is kind of pointless, it can't stab, and if you try to swing it more than likely you'll just hit the wall. The same with a katana, claymore, cutlass, what have you. So I'd take the KA-BAR. The knife is good enough for the USMC, it gets the job done.

 

[navyjeff]

A shillelagh. Nobody knows how to spell it, and you can take one practically anywhere if it looks like a souvenir item.

 

[sgt. soap mctavish]

Seriously? Nobody said Gurren Lagann?

 

[Eovik]

A carbon-fibre handled sledgehammer/Fireman axe. light enough, strong, ease of use, and blunt or slashing attacks

 

[LifeSentence]

CROWBAR
I keep one under my bed.

 

[Nickompoop]

I claymore as long as I am tall. Even though it's heavy, it can act as a shield if need be, and it can scare the everliving shit out of people (again, if need be).

As far as melee weapons go I'd want one of the rediculously long bayonets that everyone had in the first wold war.

or failing that i could get off my ass and invent the chainsword.

 

[SovietX]

My depleted-uranium tipped +7 rocket-drill-lance of Soviet slaying.

Stay away from me then.

 

[Trippy Turtle]

lightsaber. easy, simple, effective. all for the low low price of $99.99.

 

[LiftYourSkinnyFists]

There have been many colourful hand-to-hand weaponary so far, wrenches, bare fists, crowbars, daggers and so on. I thought the other day, what would I pick as my basic melee weapon if I was video game protagonist? I like the idea of a whip, with it's cool cracking sounds and flashy tricks, whereas something simpler like a large spanner would be more satisfying to whack an enemy with. With so many possibilities it's hard to decide what I would choose.

So I ask you, readers, what would you pick as your signature melee weapon?

Shaolin Spade.


Zombie Apocalypse, just come at me bro.

 

[WorldCritic]

A sword and short sword combination. I've used them before and dual weilding identical weapons didn't work out for me too well, a short sword on the other hand while using medium length blade, it really works, for me anyway.

 

[Valiard]

Cold Iron Knuckles... cause fancy swordplay does not always best a solid punch to the face

 

[Formica Archonis]

In a game: A war scythe. Just because. Kinda farmy while still incredibly unpleasant looking.
In real life: A wooden cane.

 

[meditator101]

Everywhere I go, I carry a cane.

Not a walking cane, oh no... an old fashioned fancy cane!

That my friends, gives the best fwaps ever!
