Following up on Joe The Destroyer's most excellent top 100 video game idea, I figured why not feature some of our favorite characters from the games we waste away in front of...my first choice.
1.) Raiden - Mortal Kombat
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/14/RaidenMKSM.jpg)
He had one of the coolest quotes ever, "There is no knowledge that is not power."
2) KING -Tekken Series
(http://www.fightersgeneration.com/games/14_king_l.jpg)
3.) Spinal - Killer Instinct
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKFqxSIVy-M
The laugh is the best part about him.
4) Sephiroth - FFVII
(http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/4586/sephiroth8jy.jpg)
5.) Slash - Eternal Champions
Hard to find a pic of him but he an awesome fighter. He has the best throw in all of fighting games. He throws the guy up in the air and smacks him with his club. His screen kill is about 1:00 into this clip.

Sinistar!
Used to play this all the time when I was a kid.

I always remember Sinistar's evil laugh.

7) Hana from Fear Effect and Fear Effect 2 Retro Helix:

8. Kratos!!!!
(http://www.dxgaming.com/images/news/kratos.jpg)
9. Duke Nukem!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6JcZv3wPuU
10. Wario
(http://www.theage.com.au/ffximage/2004/08/27/icon_wario2_aug28,0.jpg)
Great because he's so damn unimaginative! :bouncegiggle:
11.) Sweet Tooth - Twisted Metal
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNPQp3RD09k
Evil clown driving around in a naplam firing ice cream truck...whats not to love?

11.) Sweet Tooth - Twisted Metal

12. Nightmare/Seigfreid (Soul Calibur Series)
(http://bestuff.com/images/images_of_stuff/210x600/siegfried-schtauffen-24720.jpg)(http://www.computergame.com.au/userimages/user1166_1148872749.jpg)
Pretty boy with a massive sword
13.) Calypso - Twisted Metal
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/ed/Calypso_in_Twisted_Metal_2_Intro.jpg)
So suave, so cool and downright evil. Almost a cross between Donald Trump and Charlie Manson.
Heihachi!
(http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/5702/heihachi6ccrp0.png) (http://imageshack.us)
The head honcho of most of the Tekken games. His simple yet effective fighting style made him a good choice when playing against a human or AI opponent.
(http://i416.photobucket.com/albums/pp249/dadda_06/luigi-1.jpg)
Luigi
In my humble opinion, the coolest of the Mario Bros. Who the hell doesn't love Luigi?
16) Raziel (Legacy of Kain series)
(http://images.legacyofkain.net/defiance/fankit/characters/Raziel.jpg)
17) Shao Khan (Mortal Kombat)
(http://a.bebo.com/app-image/6923687091/5411656627/PROFILE/i.yaquiz.com/img/q/u/08/05/29/shao_kahn.jpg)

(http://gi58.photobucket.com/groups/g241/80747WXN30/Scorpion_Render.jpg)

Dirk the Daring

(http://img363.imageshack.us/img363/5554/dl1fe4.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)
23.) Max Payne
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/4c/Maxpaynebox.jpg)
24) Samus Aran (Metroid)
(http://nintenblog.free.fr/images/ngc/samus_metroid_prime_2_echoes_20041126.jpg)
If I'm not mistaken, I believe that Samus was the first female lead in a video game. Take that Lara Croft! :teddyr:
25.) Izzy Sparks-Guitar Hero Series
(http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/guitarhero/images/3/3f/Sparks.PNG)
26. Sub-Zero
If I could turn into any Mortal Kombat character, it wold be this guy.
(http://www.midway.com/images/MK_Monks/mksm_subzero_render.jpg)
27. Vincent Valentine (FFVII)
(http://tn3-1.deviantart.com/fs11/300W/i/2006/193/9/f/Vincent_Valentine__finished__by_crystalmyst.jpg)

30.) Ms. Pacman
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/6c/Mspacman.png)
As Robert Palmer would say, she's simply irresistible...
31. Crash Bandicoot
(http://www.wirelessgaming.it/site_media/uploads/images/2007/02/06/an-crash_bandicoot-party.jpg)
32.) Simon Belmont
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/9f/Truesimon.JPG)
33. The Tyrant (Resident Evil)

(http://www.gamekyo.com/Webmasters/Images/34601020060123_125624_0_big.jpg)
36.) Krista Sparks (driver of Grasshopper) - Twisted Metal 2
Note: The character in the game isn't that great but she has the best ending I've ever seen in a game. :thumbup:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhWm6fZ17aM
37) Solid Snake
(http://cache.kotaku.com/images/2006/06/snakedojo.jpg)

39. Yoshimitsu
(http://unshrouded.files.wordpress.com/2008/04/yoshimitsu2.jpg)
For #40 I nominate Kronos from God of War.
He gets nearly zero time on screen, and no diolouge whatsoever, but he has an entire third of the game on his back. I DARE you to argue with that.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v300/BigVEE/GoW/7184.jpg)
41. Cervantes De Leon (Soul Blade)
(http://www.videogamesblogger.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/cervantes-de-leon-in-soul-calibur-4.jpg)

47. BloodRayne
(http://xboxmedia.gamespy.com/xbox/image/article/588/588310/bloodrayne-20050216013015998.jpg)
Shamelessly rips-off 2000AD's Durham Red
48.) Glass Joe - Punch Out
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkyRMdzg_fg
Because he sucks, he knows it, yet he keeps fighting...
49) The DOOM Guy
(http://www.geocities.com/methaneman10k/Graphics/MySpaceDoomGuy.jpg)
Toughest video-game guy ever!
50.) Lovefist - GTA Vice City
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pk1kPD3Gsw
The most excellent METAL band from the game...
51) Ignatius (Nightmare Creatures)
(http://img240.imageshack.us/img240/7919/92lt7.png)
Don't mess with a guy who's staff has blades on either end...
52.) Lazlow - GTA series
(http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i169/darksider66/lazlow.jpg)
His performance in GTA 3 (Chatterbox) is still one of the funniest things I've ever heard anywhere.
53) Cloud Strife
(http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z172/mulmulmul/FF%20Character/FFVII/cloud_strife_Final_Fantasy_VII.jpg)
54.) Claude - GTA 3
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/78/Gta3casino.jpg)

55) Knuckles

56.) Dr. Robotnik
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c1/Robotnik_Riders.png)

"YOGA FIRE!"
#59 Lo Wang!
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/3/3e/Lo_Wang.gif/180px-Lo_Wang.gif)

81. Kung Lao
(http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/0/31/11140-kung_lao_large.gif)
He punches like a schoolgirl, put his hat can cut your head off. :thumbup:
82. Xena (yse the game sucks and it's maybe cheating, but the character is awesome)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a87/2dubious/27030-xena-la-princesse-guerriere-1.jpg)
She also punches like a schoolgirl, plus her chakram can cut your head off. :thumbup:
83. Ayane from Dead or Alive (Great game, ignore movie)

(http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/images/mario/mario.jpg)
If he hasn't been named, that HK droid from Knights of the Old Republic.
He has some of the BEST one-liners, and an unending reservoir of hate for the "meatbags" he encounters.

Could this be ASHTHECAT from the way day? I was formally known as loyal1. Been a long time!
109. TERRY BOGARD (Fatal Fury/King of Fighters series)
Cool, ultrapowerful American fighter.
