Most badass video game Protagonist

[Gallahadd]

Yuri Godslayer Hyuga.

Gives no fucks, looks badass and kicks more ass than most people have ever sat on.

[Arrashi]

Pacman. He devours his enemies. No fear. No remorse. No mercy.

[D3athsting]

Guybrush Threepwood

[XDurionX]

Basic Campfire (am I doing this right?).

[-aiko-]

Gonna have to go with Geralt. He's smokin' hot and is one sarcastic bastard. I love it.

[Ergar]

Gotta go with my boy Kratos. Got so pissed off about the god's fucking him over that he murdered each and every one of them. And if that wasn't enough now that he's killed all the gods in the greek mythology he's gonna go north and (apparently/hopefully) kill odin/thor/freya/whoever.

[dextersmith]

The guy in Dragon Warrior 1. He saved the world and did it walking very slowly with shit pixels!

Seriously, Terra FF6.

[Mechazod]

Wario

Has no moral objection to playing the villain for profit, still gets recruited by other worlds to help fight their own battles. Part time treasure hunter and also runs his own video game company in which he has roped his "friends" into doing the majority of the work while he collects the revenue. Has ridiculous strength, drives a bad-ass motorcycle and/or pimp-mobile, has Kirby like lungs that let him inhale objects towards him, came up with an invention once that let him invade television shows, wears the head of a dragon that can breath fire and made a genie grant him his own castle/planet.

Wario does it all for money.


OR

Mike Haggar: former street fighter, former mayor that took on crime himself with his fists and pro wrestler.


And obligatory votes for Duke Nukem, Bayonetta and Kirby.

ALSO, god damn B.B. Hood from the Darkstalkers series, though in game canon she is a villain.

Gonna have to go with Geralt. He's smokin' hot and is one sarcastic bastard. I love it.

I am a kinda straight guy, and I agree with you!

I am a kinda straight guy, and I agree with you!

Only kinda straight? :P

[May90]

Only kinda straight? :P

Let's say, 95% straight!

[Deleted]

Let's say, 95% straight!

Me too! *high five*

[Treeskee]

Geralt! Death dogs his every step and he never looks back.

[dextersmith]

That's actually not a bad pick.

Especially if you do a naked run. Just a dude in a loin cloth wandering the world alone, punching out dragons.

Not upstaging you or anything but my dude's loin cloth was a circus tent!

[May90]

Me too! *high five*

*highest of fives*

...so you're sayin' there's a chance....

I guess there is... But you would have to compete with Geralt, and that ain't easy!

[Katchii]

Difficult to pick just one...

Geralt
Doom soldier
Master Chief
Pretty much any RPG main character (ability to wield swords, magic, bows or arrows and kick ass and look good while doing it?)
Link
Snake from Metal Gear
War from Darksiders
Kratos
etc...

Of all those War or Kratos would be my choice.

[Deleted]

Kratos because he cuts mythological creatures' heads off and uses them as weapons!

[Henako]

Asura seems like he could be the poster-child of such a term.

Edit: I'd give a nod to Bayonetta for a female candidate.

Took five posts, but this guy gets it.

If we're going more rooted in reality, I'd go with Snake.

[Sorrior]

That merchant in Skyrim. He fucking fist-fought a goddamn dragon to death in his underpants. No fear, only sheer baddassery.

If this is a requirement Godbert from ffxiv. Man is impossibly badass

Buut Kratos for savage baddassery

Bayonetta for female snark f you badass

Dante for male version of Bayonetta

Samus for female overall badass

[Mister Cheese]

Dante for male version of Bayonetta

There is so much wrong with this sentence it's not even funny.
