Strikeforce is not a good example, that is without a doubt the worst warriors game I have ever played. The combat is soooo slow and trash enemies have high health bars.
Also LuBu isn't that bad ass. He sounds like a bad ass but he dies very early on at the hands of Cao Cao and his horse is taken from him and given to Guan Yu (who's so bad ass he is nicknamed the God of War).
CALIBRATIONS
As much as I like Guan Yu (I like Ma Chao more, if we're strictly talking Shu) and even though Lu Bu did die early in his life, he had a very ruthless reputation as being a pure warrior. Besides, I never had a fight with Guan Yu where I thought, "Man, this fight is actually difficult in comparison to the other enemy officers."

Eh. I like Cortana more. She has more personality as a character. I like Master Chief, but mainly because the voice is a Chicago-boy (DJ for the classic rock station, The Drive, in the mornings).
Ocelot is a bad-ass in the MGS series, especially when you take into account everything he's done in the series.
As far as GTA characters go, Tommy Vercetti is tops for the protagonists (though calling him that is a stretch), but Tenpenny is the king for the villains.
Ridley is the king of Metroid villains, of course. Dark Samus/Metroid Prime proved to be a formidable villain during the GCN/Wii series, though.
Ganon/Ganondorf, happily, hasn't been diluted as an antagonist. Majora's Mask is a pretty frightening villain in its own right.
Wesker for the RE series, naturally, who developed quite well as a character, considering. Nemesis running a close second, and with good reason. Most badass RE protagonist? Jill. And those of us who played RE3 back in 1999 know why.
Barret from FFVII always struck me as a kind of a bad-ass. A good heart, certainly, but when the shooting got going...

Whaaa ha!
Yes, Master Chief counts as he kills those seashell grunt things and they're kinda cute. He even kills them when they run away, that's pretty bad ass.

I hate Chicago.
Let me know when we have a "Who is a better character" thread. This is about whom is more badass. Master Chief has badass in spades.

Someone here is a fucking casual.

Casual with your mom, maybe.

I nominate the Diablo III Servers as being bad to the bone, rotten to the core.

Yep, haven't been able to log in yet.

Play Diablo III on Hardcore and you can be a badass yourself (once you manage to log in).
Whaaa ha!
Put about 5 hours into it. Asia/Pacific Servers ftw.

Sephiroth Didn't know what Murasame was before him...now I do
Solid Snake/Big Boss no way to equate one over the other, Big Boss maybe the "original" but Snake is the ultimate personification of his daddy
Kratos--Just Nasty, and MEAN
Dante--started the whole Swords/Guns is "cool" movement on PS2 in a big way. Classic one liners...
lara Croft--yeah she's old now, but back in the 90's when video games were still Mario kart and Metroid balls, she came out with big guns, T&A and a whole lot of sassy sexiness. Started the whole badass thing on Playstation probably, and has crazy sexy appeal, even had Angelina Jolie play her roll and fulfill the sexy lip look in spades!
honorable mentions, Duke Nukem, Kain from Soul Reaver, Cloud Strife, Master Chief and Omnistalgic (because I've played enough silent protagonist to be considered awesome!) SILENCE I HAVE SPOKEN!

Two things here:
1 - His sword was Masamune
2 - I don't see how anyone considers Sephiroth "bad-ass." He spent a majority of the game being a popsicle.

Must have been that flashback scene where he is smiling whilst the flames are around him.
And yes, FFVII was glorious then and it is glorious now. Turns 15 in September. Amazing. FFVI has the edge on VII as both a game and for its bad-ass villain. Kefka might be THE most bad-ass villain around. You look up nihilism in the dictionary (the online one, mind you) a few years from now you'll probably see his picture there.
And all that talk about Solid Snake and we forgot Psycho Mantis? Aw man, we suck.

Psycho Mantis isn't that bad ass though. He is very memorable but....Ocelot/Shalashashka/Adam is more of a bad ass I think.
CALIBRATIONS
He actually wasn't controlling any of the events and he didn't really do much of anything. After finding out he was injected with Jenova cells, he burned down a village and killed some people...but then he was stabbed through the guy by a low-ranking soldier and tossed into the Lifestream like a bitch. He then was frozen for years. The problem is that Jenova was one the loose after that event, and went around shaped as Sephiroth. The murder of President Shinra? Jenova. The murder of all those soldiers on the boat leaving Junon? Jenova. Aerith's death? JENOVA. Sephiroth didn't actually come to life again until...what? two-thirds through disc 2? And even then, all he really did was unleash the weapons and create a barrier around North Crater (well, there's the whole "summon a meteor" thing too). He really only manipulated Cloud, but there was some kind of connection between the two of them. Otherwise, Sephiroth was just a crazy person infected by an alien lifeform.1) Tks for the spelling
2) How more bad-ass can you be if you're controlling great events in the world while ur friggin frozen?!!
I wasn't really impressed with him when I first played the game. To be fair, though, he was a better antagonist than say...whoever the fuck was the bad guy in FFVIII. I mean, shit, that game was convoluted as fuck and you don't even find out about the "real" villain until the very end of the game (kind of like FFXI).
And Psycho Mantis isn't very bad-ass, but he's cool.
