Top 4 Coolest Videogame Characters

[Piebald]

2. Kefka from Final Fantasy 3/6 - best bad-guy lines. Ever. "You all sound like chapters out of a bad self-help book!"

Son of a Submariner! I can't believe I forgot about Kefka.

[Jin-Roh]

I'm I the only person in the world who didn't like kefka?

[Piebald]

Shame on you for not liking Kefka.

I thought it was interesting how the only backstory he had was an NPC in an out of the way place saying 2 sentences about how Kefka was the first Magitek Knight they tried to make and something went wrong so he kind of snapped.

[Epoetker]

4. Link. Mainly for all his work in OoT.
3. Leonheart from FF II-Kain was NOT the first bad-good-guy in the FF series, so I'll let him be representative.
2. Auron. Not much more needs to be said.
1. Magus. Duh.

[Gideon Brown]

1) Definitely the Commando from the original C&C. 'That was left-handed!'
2) Dr. Wily
3) Simon/Trevor Belmont

I think that's why didn't like him.
Not enoungh detail on him in comparison to the other characters.

[Eyeheart Pumpkin]

Nameless One from Planescape: Torment
Lady Aribeth from Neverwinter Nights
The talking skull from Planescape: Torment
The half-demon companion from Planescape: Torment

*sorry, it's been so long since I played Planescape that I can't remember the names of the characters, except for Nameless One (ironic).

[Calvinist4Him]

4. Link. Mainly for all his work in OoT.

Good call.

2. Auron. Not much more needs to be said.

I had Auron on my list, but then I remembered Soul Calibur.

If I were compiling a list of the coolest characters to appear in a video game though, I would have to go with DC and Mavel characters...Superman, Spider-Man, Batman, Hulk, Wolverine, etc. I love Capcom for licensing X-Men Children of the Atom, Marvel Superheroes, and the Marvel vs Capcom arcade games.

[Jaltus]

1. Samus Aran
2. The Boss (Metal Gear Solid series)
3. Golga (Golga 13)
4. Ryu Hayabusa (from the Ninja Gaiden series)

[brother vinny]

Er, the paddle from "Pong."

[Rayado]

4. Tie between X and Zero (Mega Man X 1-6)
3. The Sprite from Secret of Mana. He rocked.
2. Glenn, from Chrono Cross. (There's quite a few from Chrono Cross that I enjoyed, but he stands out.)
1. General Leo from Final Fantasy VI.

[Jin-Roh]

Whoa! General Leo! Who could forget. He was one of the cooler characters in that game.

[Mark_S]

4 Space Quest 2 hero (Roger Wilco? my memory is a bit rusty)
3 The little Lemmings when the explode
2 Gothmog and his trusty little 6-4-4 fireball (Quiz time: Can you name the game?)
1 Malkin, my loveable little High Elf Enchanter

[CatholicSage]

I can't believe no one has backed me up on Sarge. That guy's awesome!

Er, the paddle from "Pong."

I'll second that! I'll also add the barrels from Donkey Kong and the shields from Space Invaders.

[Cerebrum123]

Ooh this is actually a tough one.
1 Link
2 Samus Aran
3Zero
4 this one's kind of a tough one ,but I will go with Jill Valentine (I'm relatively new to RE ,and I just love them all so far ,except RE Zero)
