The Tournament of Video Game Bad Asses!

[The Babekeepers]

And now it has begun my friends. From all era's these mighty warriors come to prove that they are indeed Bad enough to save the president.

Yes, even badder then the power glove.

From those who just look like bad ass's, to those who preform extra-ordinary feets of bad assery, and those who stand strong against mighty odds, this is the proving Ground for the greatest of all the Bad Ass's.

I would have a longer intro for this, but I am tired, busy, and I'm still waiting on some issues with the images, so that is all you get.

Voting will start to Monday. Votes will be made as with previous tournaments, posted in forum and wrapped in Spoiler Tags.

The Brackets are as follows.

1. Faris (FF V) Vs. Gordan Freeman (Half Life)


2.Lighting (Final Fantasy XIII) Vs. Jade (Beyond Good and Evil)


3. Murmina (Record of the Agarest War) Vs. Cloud (Final Fantasy VII)


4. Lara Croft (Tomb Raider) Vs. Dunban (Xenoblade Chronicles)


5. John Marston (Red Dead Redemption) Vs. Samus Aron (Metroid)

7. Sly Cooper (Sly Cooper Series) Vs. Keithgriff (Atelier Ayesha: Alchemist of Dusk)


8. KOS-MOS (Xenosaga) Vs. Dekar (Lufia 2: Rise of the Sinestrals)


9. Sabin (FF VI) Vs. Nathan Drake (Uncharted)


10. Naoto (Persona IV) Vs. Arcade Ganon (Fallout: New Vegas)

15. Bayonetta (Bayonetta) Vs. Zero (Megaman X series)


16. Beatrix (FF IX) Vs. Cervantes (Soul Calibur)



Yes, somene you thing should be on here isn't on here. Shocker I couldn't grab every bad ass in every game ever made. :p


Anyway, use this time to debate amongst yourselfs who you think is the most bad ass before voting starts! And even after!

[Dat Matt]

Auron will win. Calling it here first folks.

[NeoCracker]

To kick off some discussion....

1. Faris (FF V) Vs. Gordan Freeman (Half Life)

Yeah, I never played Half Life, so honestly I don't know what to say about Gordan Freeman here, someone needs to make a case for him over Faris for me. :p

2.Lighting (Final Fantasy XIII) Vs. Jade (Beyond Good and Evil)
Yeah, if this list were purely my own choices, LIghting would not be on it, but I know some people like her and think she's bad ass, and while I know little about Jade from beyond good and evil, I am leaning towards her here.

3. Murmina (Record of the Agarest War) Vs. Cloud (Final Fantasy VII)
Yeah, I wouldn't have included Cloud either had he not had a fan base. Murmina wins this one for me for the strength of her motivation, and willingness to fight alone against the forces that destroyed her home. Plus she's a winged girl with a gun.

4. Lara Croft (Tomb Raider) Vs. Dunban (Xenoblade Chronicles)
Lara never had much character to me, so while she goes through a lot of shit, she never struck me as a very bad ass.

5. John Marston (Red Dead Redemption) Vs. Samus Aron (Metroid)
Never played Red Dead, and while the same is true for Samus (I am ignoring the last Metroid game here) never having much character, she does make up for it for running through alien worlds in a high powered robot suit. Though yeah, I could be convinced otherwise on tis one. :p


6. Conker (Conkers Bad Fur Day) Vs. Solid Snake (Metal Gear Solid)
I never liked Metal Gear, but I do think SNake is quite hardcore. Though Conker accomplished all he did after a drunk night with a hangover, and unlike Snake he's not really a combat guy. Just some dude fighting his way through some insane odds. Conker wins this one for me.



7. Sly Cooper (Sly Cooper Series) Vs. Keithgriff (Atelier Ayesha: Alchemist of Dusk)
Smooth and cool Racoon thief, vs. Old grizzled Alchemist who destroyed state research labs because other so called Alchemists weren't as hardcore as he was and no longer deserved the knowledge. Props to Sly, but it goes to my boy Keithgriff.


8. KOS-MOS (Xenosaga) Vs. Dekar (Lufia 2: Rise of the Sinestrals)
Okay, Robot chick with giant gatling guns, lasers, swords, and some serious kung-fu skills. Even if her story was bad, come on! How can you compete? Sorry Dekar. :cry:

I'll do more commentary on the match ups later. :p

[Loony BoB]

1. Faris (FF V) because I know who she is. Okay, so I sort of know the other guy but I haven't seen enough of him to make a verdict. Faris is badass enough anyway.
2. Lighting (Final Fantasy XIII) because I know who she is.
3. Cloud (Final Fantasy VII) because I know who he is.
4. Lara Croft (Tomb Raider) because I know who she is.
5. Abstain because I don't know either of them.
6. Solid Snake (Metal Gear Solid) because I know who he is.
7. Abstain because I don't know either of them.
8. Abstain because I don't know either of them.
9. Ah, crap, I actually know these two. I love Nathan Drake to bits but I have to vote Sabin (FF VI) for really obvious reasons (hint: involves a train).
10. Abstain because I don't know either of them.
11. Abstain because I don't know either of them (can't remember Akuma well enough to care).
12. Auron (Final Fantasy X) because I know who he is.
13. Ashe (FF XII) because while I know who both are, I've seen more of Ashe's personality since I haven't played the God of War series. And Ashe is actually kinda badass.
14. Heichachi Mishima (Tekken Series) because I know who he is.
15. Bayonetta (Bayonetta) because I know who she is.
16. Beatrix (FF IX) because I know who she is.

Well, 9 and 13 aside, that was actually pretty easy. ;)

[NeoCracker]

Continued Commentary. :p

9. Sabin (FF VI) Vs. Nathan Drake (Uncharted)
Yeah, held up a house and suplexed a train. This isn't even a contest. :

10. Naoto (Persona IV) Vs. Arcade Ganon (Fallout: New Vegas)
Arcade Gannon goes out like a boss no matter what his ending is in New Vegas, dudes hard core as fuck, though I would spoil all his endings to explain why, so I won't here. :p Naoto of Persona 4 puts everything on the line for her work, knowingly throwing herself into dangers she knows little of, jeopardizing both her future as a detective and her life. Compared to most people on this list, Naoto has a lot she is striving to overcome.

11. Hakuman (BlazBlu) Vs. Akuma (Street Fighter)
Akuma is pretty hard core, the Street Fighter most obesses with furthering his own power, though This quote wins it for Hakuman. "I am the white void. I am the cold steel. I am the just sword. With blade in hand, shall I reap the sins of this world and cleanse it in the fires of destruction! I am Hakumen. The end has come!" That line sends a chill down my spine every time.


12. Auron (Final Fantasy X) Vs. Citan (Xenogears)
You know, I actually do like Auron, desptie my dislike of FF X. Though Citan manages to out cool and calm him, and takes far riskier actions. So close, but Citan wins out on this one.

13. Ashe (FF XII) Vs. Kratos (God of War)
As much as I like Kratos, in the end Ashe's struggle has a lot more punch, so she takes the bad ass award here.

14. Nina (Breath of Fire 2) Vs. Heichachi Mishima (Tekken Series)
Heihachi is awesome. Dude gives people electrified Noogies, and he's in a constant state of hatred and smashing. Oh, also, end of Tekken two he defeats the devil. Kazuya, his son, survived being thrown off a Mountain by signing his soul the devil. Heihachi get's thrown off a mountain, stands back up, and comes back and kids Kazuya's demon posssed ass and kills the fucker.

Nina, however, takes this round for me. She puts up with no one's shit, just see her introduction where she just shocks this poor sap trying to get her to join their gang. She doesn't even consider her own wellfare in her fight for others, and without hesitation was willing to sacrifice herself to become the great bird. Sorry Heihachi, Nina takes this one.


15. Bayonetta (Bayonetta) Vs. Zero (Megaman X series)
She slaughters angles to a pop remix of Frank Sinatra's Fly me to the moon. Sorry Zero, shear awesome of that wins out.

16. Beatrix (FF IX) Vs. Cervantes (Soul Calibur)
Zombie Pirate is fucking awesome by definition, but obvious reasons here for Beatrix winning out I feel. :p


That completes my round by round commentary!

Also, I didn't post it, but voting ends Wensday Night or thursday morning. :p

[Sephiroth]

1. Sarisa

Warrior of Dawn chosen by Fire, withstands the void.

2. Eclair

Savior who almost alone can fight the Creator God of Light and proves him to not be allmighty, on par with Cloud when he is at full power, stonger than him when he is not at full power. Would have become even more powerful than ever by becoming the ruler of chaos, the Goddess of Death, which she hasn't in the end as shewould have needed to sacrifice her life to win and then won with the others and someone else decided to ascend to the God of Death and so she could finally live in peace.

3. Cloud

On par with Zack normally, the most powerful hero when he is at full power - only against Sephiroth as it is a storyline Limit Break where everything in his life he loves that he is fighting for mobilizes all of his power so he can at least overwhelm Sephiroth when he shows his weakness of arrogance again.

7. Keithgriff (Atelier Ayesha: Alchemist of Dusk)

The most powerful Atelier character storywise, next to Gio and Gisela.

9. Mash (FF VI)

He never played wrestling with a train that probably has no weight at all but he is a great martial artist and his physical abilities such as holding a part of a hosue for a while are impressive.

11. Akuma (Street Fighter)

Most powerful Street Fighter character next to Bison, uses the Dark Hadou. Probably on par with Ryu but Ryu needed help from Ken with Bison.

13. Kratos (God of War)

Is the god of war. Ashe knows magic but is nothing special in her world.

15. Cereza (Bayonetta)

Used a Super Nova against Jubileus, the Creator Goddess as her dark magic is powerful on a Dragon Ball scale. She did not summon it however. She just used her weaving to throw Jubileus into the sun. Still she was strong enough to defeat her with her magic.

16. Cervantes (Soul Calibur)

Is an undying who even turned into Inferno by the power of the Soul Edge, which is one of the two super powers created by Algol.

Apparently this is not just about power but I still leave it how it is (and it is still a power list). When it comes to who I like the most, it is Eclair and then Cloud.


YEah, if this was just about power I wouldn't bothered running it. KOS-MOS could pretty much waste everyone else on this list with little to no effort. http://home.eyesonff.com/images/eoff_smilies/tongue.gif



Agreed, some might give her trouble, but she'd win in the end.


Then you don't know Lightning and Cloud's canonical power at their fullest. But Neo said "could pretty much" anyway. Kos-mos is like Eve and Creed from Black Cat and but that's it.



1) In response to Sephiroth bizarrely editing his post with a reply rather then replaying, I'll give you I didn't play into XIII-2 or lighting returns, so I can't say for sure about her power, but no way in hell can cloud beat KOS-MOS. XD


As you are ignoring all officially published material with its intended context which very clearly show how powerful they are. Lightning almost became the Goddess of Deatn by fighting Bhunivelze, a universe-destroyer and Sephiroth, who was so powerful that he needed some plot device to be beaten by some DBZ power like "the good guys must win so let's make the hero stronger when he fights for his friends" gives him the power to overwhelm a shapeshifter who can regenerate, reunite, cast the most destructive magical spells, has the greatest psychic powers, can read minds, et cetera. Cloud was stated and is also very obviously weaker than Sephiroth and he still managed to beat him. Even if Kos-mos would have general powers that put her above, that does not make her better than Cloud with his Son-Gohan powers and that is how things must be rated, with full power and all options. "Chaos", and "sacrifice" and "regenerative powers" are really nothing new in Final Fantasy. Cloud and Sephiroth's battles are David VS Goliath situations, he can defeat enemies that are normally stronger than him. And Bayonetta as well, by the way.

Believe me, the way they are canonically, they are stronger. They are not the trademarks without reason and some fancy skills cannot impress them, they have seen better with Barthandelus, Orphan, Caius, Bhunivelze and Sephiroth.

[Shauna]

I went ahead and spoiler tagged your post. :}

I won't claim you rigged the Cloud losing in a tie-breaker scenario, but I will point out that you miscounted. I checked twice, both times I counted 9 votes for Cloud and 7 for Murmina. With that in mind, I suspect you may need to edit your winners list, your tally and finally you may also need to re-do the second tie for this round (or do what I would do, simply PM the people asking to re-vote). :p

1. Faris (Final Fantasy V)
2. Cloud (Final Fantasy VII) - not counting Cloud in Crisis Core or Advent Children, who would easily lose this contest to Lara Croft
3. Solid Snake (Metal Gear Solid)

I'll double check the vote count reall fast for cloud then. :p

Ah, I see where I screwed up. I saw Shai Banana's votes and saw the first name she listed. I didn't realize she stated her votes after the first time, and forgot to correct it. :p

And probably just smurfed up on another one. :p

Edit: SO youa, instead of 'murmina vs. Lara Croft' it is Cloud Vs. Lara Croft

More Round by Round commentary!

1. Faris (FFV) Vs. Lara Croft (Tomb Raider)
Yeah, I'm not really a fan of Lara Croft. She never felt like she had enough personality to really grab me, though I haven't played the reboot to be fair. This one will go to Pirate lady.

2. Solid Snake (Metal Gear Solid) Vs. Kos-Mos (Xenosaga)
...Yeah, Snake is awesome and all, even though I don't really like the games, but Kos-Mos is a fucking war machine. Through shear force of awesome she's got this for me.

3. Sabin (FF VI) Vs. Auron (FF X)
Okay, I really like Auron. But consdiering his big bad-ass feet, riding Sin, is a bit lessened by the fact he knew he would be just fine, being dead already and all. So the lack of steaks is a strike against him for me. Sabin, knowing full well the danger, holds up a burning house. The steaks are much more apperant and real feeling. Also, fucker suplexed a train.


4. Heichachi Mishima (Tekken Series) Vs. Beatrix (FF IX)
Where as Heihachi's badassitude is without question, I get more out of a character like Beatrix whose overcoming a lot, as well as crushing your characters like you crush Soldier mooks.

Credit to Heihachi again for not having to sign his soul to the devil to come back and kick the devils ass and kill him at the end of Tekken 2. That was a fucking feet right there.

Faris
Beatrix

[Jiro]

I regret to inform you that I am supporting the men.

Snake
Sabin

that is not to say that the women aren't incredible. I do very much like both characters (though my ability to appreciate Faris is lessened by not having finished her game) and I am incredibly chuffed to see them both here at the end. Good show, EoFF.

1) Solid Snake
2) Sabin

[NeoCracker]

...Yeah, I think the winner of this tournament is pretty clear at this point. :p


1. Faris
2. Sabin

...Yeah, it was really hard for me to vote Sabin over Beatrix in this. :cry:

[NeoCracker]

Lack of votes this round depresses me. :(

1. Faris (FFV) - 3
Solid Snake (Metal Gear Solid) - 5

2. Sabin (FF VI)- 5
Beatrix (FF IX) - 3

Final Round go!

I'll probably close out the final round Either Saturday night or Sunday and Announce the Winner then, since there's not really a hurry to end the round. :p

[NeoCracker]

Yeah My vote is Sabin. That puts the finally to Snake Two, Sabin Four.

This is ending on six votes, I am disappointed in all of you. :cry:
