[SneakyPenguin]

Where the hell is Duke Nukem on those lists?

[peteloaf]

The Ranger From Quake
Cody from Final Fight
Ryu from the Ninja Gaiden (NES Version Especially)
The Marine From Doom
Kefka from Final Fantasy III/VI - By the end of the game he's already won, you are just trying to stop him from spreading salt on an open wound...

[Mospeada_21]

Link from Wind Waker, he'll shaq-fu (i actually typed in shaq-fu, and not a slur) you with his enchanted master sword. lol j/k!

I'd say CounterStrike, but that's me playing.
I don't play games to be a badass, but just to have fun.

I guess having superpowers are cool, so playing Spider-Man 2 is fun too.
Is there a good game where you can fly? Where the gameplay is not dumb? Hmmm...???

Okay here's 3: Samus Aran, wow! (For taking on Space Pirates)
Sam Fisher, cool. (High-tech weapons and sneaky)
Sarge from Army Men, gung-ho commando.

Edit: after seeing SoulEdgeVII's post, I'd have to add 47 as well. (He is a real bada$$, brutal killings man. Plus the voice acting is spot on perfect.)

[SoulEdgeVII]

Astaroth
Hitman 47
Solid Snake
Sam Fischer
Samus Aran

[Duo_Maxwell]

Dante
Solid Snake
Simon Belmont
Terry Bogard
Ryu Hayabusa

Pretty much the same as everyone save for the "Lone Wolf."

[ykryptonite13]

Scorpion
Solid Snake
Iori Yagami
Sam Fischer (over 40 and still kickin' ass)

Duo Maxwell, I'll see your Terry Bogard and raise you a Geese Howard.

I'm surprised no one said Akuma yet. But I don't like Akuma anyway so that's not a vote for him.

[Renzokuken]

Dante
Ryu Hayabusa
Solid Snake
Nightmare
Samanosuke

[Xevious]

Duke Nukem would be the #1 baddass. Everything else is kinda hard to figure out.

Maybe Scorpion would be in the top 5. Max Payne would get honorable mention.

[Derwood43]

Is anyone going to mention Master Chief? no? I will.

[liquidsnake]

how in the hell can you not mention spyro?

[Dok Diamond]

Tommy Vercetti

[Sheik Rattle Enroll]

Sadler (Exile for Turbografx CD)
Geese Howard (Fatal Fury)
Orlandu (Final Fantasy Tactics)
Lu Bu (Dynasty Warriors, or any three kingdoms based game)
Olan Durai (Final Fantasy Tactics)

[Slipknot9762]

master chief definitely and solid snake

[Trakan]

I think Auron deserves to be in there.

[Skylander7]

No Magus, Kain, Chrono, Zero, or Id meantioned yet?? I'd say Alucard or Simon Belmont, but they've been meantioned...

I have a feeling this thread is going to get long...

[Wet Ninja]

In no particular order:

Sephiroth (Final Fantasy VII)
The Undead Warrior (Guardian Heroes)
Mitsurugi (Soul Calibur 2)
Cervantes (Soul Calibur)
Gilder (Skies of Arcadia)

Honorable Mention:

[DenisDFat]

[coolcps]

I think that other FF3 characters could use some love. Cyan, Locke, and Sabin. Though Locke was more of a pimp/thug than badass. Auron is definately up there along with all the other stuff mentioned on the list.

[Zmonkay]

Dante
Beyond the Grave (from Gungrave, a severly underappreciated game)
Ryu Hayabusa
Akuma
Sephiroth
