Got inspired by a FB group, gamers of 30, where they talked about the most bad-ass protagonists... So I thought "What about most bad-ass gaming character in general" instead. Everyone from hero/protagonist to villain to NPC to casual enemies. You name it!

I'll have to go with my beloved Bayonetta/Cereza for starters. LIKE DUH!! Kicking both demon and angel and even odd AI made thingies arses in spectacular ways. Also going to Hell and back for her best friend. Come ooon!
Jack from MadWorld is just, well, bad-ass. He eats onions like apples for fuck's sake =D

Villains! Kefka! There is no other.

Enemies? Thwomp from the Mario series.

NPCs? Blackthorne from FF16 pops into my head.

Anyway! I wanted to make this short so you guys can tell me who is the bad-assest of them all! =)
