League of Extraordinary Video Game Characters

RobinStarwing · 11-02-2010, 05:23 PM

So, I was looking for pics of a video game character I RP in a forum group on Yahoo and I stumbled across something that got me thinking and decided to ask it here. If it gets enough of a response, I might do one for fictional characters in Media.

If you could do so, what five video game characters would you put together into a team to fight, with the last one named as the leader? The format is as follows. You can also point out problems with choices as well.

NAME(GAME or GAMES)
IMAGE
REASON

Here's my five

Ryu Hayabusa - Ninja Gaiden Series and Dead Or Alive Series

Let's face it, this guy is not called a Super Ninja for nothing. He carries a sword and kicks ass with it. He maybe the last of his clan but Ryu is not someone to mess with even in an age of technology and modern weapons. (Reference his ending in DOA4).

KOS-MOS (Xenosaga, Capcom X Namco, Super Robot Taisen)

Yeah, she had four rebuilds but each one had more tricks and kick butt than the last. She carries or can teleport in a whole array of weapons and is basically a one-woman android army. Enough said I hope?

Dante (Devil May Cry, Viewtiful Joe)

How many other guys get up after being stabbed, burned, frozen, slashed, etc and can shrug it off and return the favor? Dante can and he can dual wield two pistols (not to mention his sword is bad ass IMO). He also has the attitude of someone we can enjoy.

Terra Branford (Final Fantasy 6, Final Fantasy Dissidia)

Ah, love at first sight for me as a young teen when I first played FF6 and I still love this gal as one of my favorite video game gales. Between her Morph and Magic skills, not to mention a not to shappy Swordsmanship...this gal can hold her own against many threats. Not to mention her being shy.

And now, last, but not least, the one who would lead this little team in battle...

Master Chief/Spartan John-117 (Halo Series)

Yes, Master Chief himself would lead this group. Neither an alien horde bent on Humanity's extinction, an alien parasite, nor a crazed AI could stop him from his mission. It seems the Universe will not let this guy die. Hence why he is here as leader.

So give it a go guys and let's see your LoXVGCs.

Sonic because I think he'd be good as the washed-up drug addict.

Kirby because I think he'd make an interesting totally amoral sociopath.

The dude from Altered Beast because he's the only example I can recall of a character who is a basically useless jerk who transforms into a stupidly powerful monster.

Doctor Wily as the guy who provides the team with transportation and also is a bloodthirsty maniac who wants to kill everybody.

And um... Princess Toadstool trying to lead her team of miscreants in a no-nonsense manner in order to redeem herself after her public disgrace following her romance with foreign nobility of ill repute.

Alex Mercer; Dude survived a nuke blast and fights whole armies of both super mutant zombies and the military, AT THE SAME TIME!

Kratos: Guy killed pretty much every named mythological named creature, hero and god in ancient greek myth, and whole armies of other, not so named heroes and beasts. The only persopn who could kill him, was HIMSELF.

That's all I've got right now, and frankly, that's all I really need. These guys together can take out anything or anyone. Period.

Daimo Mac, The Blue Light of Hope · 11-02-2010, 07:48 PM

As the master of stealth and assassin's, I am giving it to Altair, who not only learned the art twice, but perfected it and added new stuff.

Cole McGrath, he can remove electricity from various applliances. Have him grab a gun, and his power will ignite the gunpowder. He can also provide a chield to repel bullets.

Alex Mercer, whatever Cole doesn't fry, Alex will smash.

Sly Cooper: Whatever you need stolen, he can get.

The Warden: He can unite elves, dwarves and humans to take on the horde of hell themselves. He is a leader you want.

Ryu (SF)- great fighter, can possibly blend in

Ryu (Ninja gaiden)- Stealthy guy, also deadly

Ryu (BoF)- The Artillery

I tried to think of 2 more Ryus, but I think the 3 of them can handle anything you need.

RobinStarwing · 11-02-2010, 08:52 PM

Um...you also need images. >_> And a minimum of five characters.

Edit: Um also why was the Master Chief image removed?

This for the guy who didn't even provide for a Sherlock Holmes role!

So why isn't anyone going with the Dream Team?

Mario, Link, Kirby, Sonic and Donkey Kong?

I'd go with Ness (Earthbound), Snake (MGS), Altair (Assassin's Creed), Henry (Silent Hill IV) and Raziel (Soul Reaver).

I see two ways to go with this, picking the dudes with the greatest potential for destruction and/or problem solving and hope they all have the Victorian sensibilities that merely the audacity of having a girl in charge of them can keep them in line (it's what they did in the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen), or picking the ones with the greatest potential to work as a team.

I see we're mostly going with option A so let me offer some of column B:

The Paladin from Diablo 2 with his many beneficial auras is a nice addition to any team.

The Medic from Team Fortress 2 too, and he has some experience with teamwork.

Tails from Sonic 2 is invincible, fast, stubborn and perfectly selfless. He lives to follow orders without thinking. He's our cannon fodder.

Our muscle will be a Worm from Worms, a vicious war-forged guy tiny and cute enough to throw anyone off their guard before unleashing weapons of mass destructions enough to turn the whole landscape into dust. Don't even think about letting him/her/it load that minigun with bazooka shells; that's cheating.

And finally, a leader who commands absolute loyalty and respect from his squad and conveys his orders without fail without even needing to speak. An educated man, a practical engineer and commensurate marksman. I give you Doctor Gordon Freeman.

I'll throw in some pictures later, if you really need them.
