Saggat the god of muay thai is cool , Soma Cruz from castlevania is cool too.

I second this - especially Freeman. Kicks a whole lotta ass AND has an MIT PhD.
So what if the Chief is a half-ton cyborg…

His name was Pitfall Harry.
Anyway, my vote goes to Barret from Final Fantasy 7: a powerlifter’s physique, and a gun for a hand. Doesn’t get much more badass than that.
Garret in the Thief series.

Birdie from the original Street Fighter. I could never beat that guy…
[how many of your guys remember him?]
Coco Savage from the original “Exciting Hour” arcade wrestling game.
Wow. I’m OLD.[/quote]
dude. that was probably the FIRST good fighting game that came out.
it was one of the first to come up with “certain combinations of moves work better than others” thing.
it was marketed under several names. we knew it as “mat mania”
coco savage was the hardest of all of them… as i recall, if you could get past cocoa, you could defeat the last two guys (The Piranha and The Golden Hulk) easily enough.
best, most useful combination in the game? “punch” til he falls down and then body slam him three times and then move away. after doing this a few times, "punch"til he falls down, and then suplex or pyle drive him.

my vote is for Eddie from tekken. caporeia is a totally bullshit fighting art (useless for self defense), but man, eddie makes it all look wicked.
Cervantes in Soul Caliber is awsome, especially for those of us FSM’ers.

Another one from the past: The guy from Wolfenstein 3D.
“I’m death incarnate”
Bo Jackson in Tecmo Bowl.
Kain from the Legacy of Kain/Soul Reaver series.
Kratos from God of War, there is a threesome mini-game, where you get to screw two busty twins!!
Ken from Street Fighter.
Akuma! The ultimate in functional psyhique and by functional I mean able to participate in any sport/activity
Some trivia for ya…
Street Fighter was released as Fighting Street for the Turbografx 16 (only Ken and Ryu were playable in both versions). Birdie can be found in the Final Fight series of video games, as well as the Street Fighter Alpha series.
Ryu Hayabusa is also playable in the “Dead or Alive” series of video games and starred in the original Ninja Gaiden(s).
I was also thinking, how about any of the main playable “class” characters from the Diablo(s). They seem T-2-the-Extreme to me

You guys must not have seen this yet…
And by the way, he seriously wants to get that game developed, so if any of you are interested (become a fan of his work first, or at least familiar with it) give him a mail.

Not quite true. Street Fighter was an arcade game origionally. Im not sure it even came out on the TG-16. Only Ryu was playable in the game and he had red hair.
Tommy Vercetti - GTA: Vic City.
The knight from Ghouls ‘n’ Ghosts.
Alex Kidd.
Nope. Someone the developers of the TFX16 got ahold of the Capcom lisence and produced Fighting Street. The arcade game and the TFX16 adaptation look really similar.
Here’s a screenshot of the arcade game. The TFX version is posted above.

Hey man, for my money it has to be Bill and Lance from the first “Contra” put out by Konami. It was the first game my little brother and I saved up enough scratch from pitching poo and mowing yards.
He and I would brawl nearly every time we played it though, he wasn’t much of a team player back then.
Sure, there’s other, cooler, more technically dynamic characters out there, but for nostalgia’s sake, it’s Bill and Lance all the way.
“Rick Dangerous” for all you Amiga 500 fans out there.
He had a hat and a cigar - doesn’t get better than that!
