Samus is a chick and destroys planets basically for fun. Not much else to do when youve got the height of technology for your pajamas.

Leon S. Kennedy beats all.
But Amaterasu is a good one too. She pretty much kicks ass and takes no nonsense.

Real badass.
Unlike cowards who throw their kids to the dogs when thing do not go their way.This dude, is a true bad ass. Because he does nothing.
Literally Kazuya has had some amazing feats sure, he beats the crap about heihachi several times. Has a demon inside of him, has an evil lazer eye.However, his real badass-ness lies in him doing absolutely nothing. For long periods at a time the worst Kazuya did was bring joy to the world, he got a velociraptor and a kangaroo family to box. Yet the badassness he exudes is so great, for some reason people think he is a bad guy, when in actuallity g under kazuya has done nothing wrong. He has done jack shit most of the story and everyone is scared of him and thinks of him as some kind of threat when in actuality he does nothing to initiate that fear. He beat up old man, true that old man was heihachi but all he did was beat up an old man.
He is so badass his presence created a reputation that process him.
Kazuya just walks in the room, people run screaming.
also story hints a devil coming back, so horay for that.

The Protagonist of Strange Journey
It's hard to narrow it down to one SMT/Persona/Devil Summoner character, but it's GOT to be the dude from Strange Journey. Fighting the supreme creator/God/whatever else as the chosen one isn't exactly new in video games... Except you're not the chosen one. Unlike other SMT games, you're not the chosen one, you're not a half-demon being of rage, you're not the messiah, you're not the wild card who can form bonds, you're not from a lineage of ancient summoners. You're a fucking soldier. You're a fucking dude. A fucking dude with fucking armor a fucking sword and a fucking gun and they push you into God/Demiurge and say 'OK HAVE FUN!' Not only that, it's fucking freezing and you're in Antartica and it's this creepy military base in the middle of nowhere so it's like Doom + Shin Megami Tensei. You don't have any waifus, or if you try to get one, you fucking die. You have to babysit Lucifer in a dress, and you have to deal with Mastema's bullshit.
AND YOU ARE JUST A FUCKING DUDE.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
Zack Fair, Final Fantasy VII.
He's an extremely likeable character, everyone looks up to him, he's
the only normal guy we know of to make it to First Class as a member of SOLDIER whereas everyone else has alien genes or is an experiment of some kind, he's able to (and pretty much does) become friends with everyone, including the villain in his own game, and he can take on a small army by himself.
Zack is awesome enough that Cloud pretends that he is him for 70% of his own game.

There's also Tekken 4 Diaper outfit.
I'm posting from my phone and I don't know how to post pics but my choice is...
The Original Dante
In Devil May Cry he kills many MANY demons. He defeats his brother who basically becomes Satans bitch, and the Demon King himself.
In Devil May Cry 2 he defeats a demon that's fused to a skyscraper, a business mogul who more or less has the power of a demi god and a bunch of other demons I can't remember.
In Devil may cry 3 he bests his brother who is arguably just as badass and as powerful as him( for the first time.)
In Devil May Cry 4 he is so damn powerful that he toys with everyone from beginning to end.

I think that Ezio was pretty badass without being a stereotypical badass. He is a calm and collected killing mahcine, a ladies man, has two hidden blades, runs an Assassin's guild and palled around with Leonardo DaVinci. His father and brother were murdered and instead of moping about it he cooly extracted his revenge. He
(Is that even a spoiler now?) He's also the best character in the entire Assassin's Creed franchise.
But seriously, Kratos is the most badass character in all of video gaming. Has any other game character killed and become a god?
fights the pope.

Came to mind as well.There's a lot but I'd pick Stocke from Radiant Historia.
He's very refreshing unlike your typical JRPG hero.

Duke Nukem is more badass than any of these weak motherfuckers in this thread.
Everyone bow to the ultimate BADASS
Went to hell and back, and then again just for shit and giggles.
Excellent choice. I've always thought of the Doom marine as a kind of template for what we have with Master Chief (Speaking of, where is that guy?).

Halo's are the size of Earth's Moon.
So IMO Master Chief is the most badass video game character.
Abducted as a child, put through the most rigorous military training imaginable and then at 14 subjected to the most painful physical augmentations for enhanced speed, strength, decreased reaction time, hearing, eyesight, intelligence etc. Then he is given a suit which doubles all of that on top of the most powerful AI ever created. He fights The Covenant, the Flood, Prometheans, Human Insurrectionists etc.
What could be more badass?

Watch Shinji cry in the corner and say how much he hates his dad.
Next weeks episode: He gets over it, but does it again later.

Questionable. And it can be argued from the revelation later on the game that he's basically a coward who can't handle the responsibility of the situation.

Loses his friends and goes through different worlds to save them, ends up having to fight his best friend to knock some sense into him, and then become a heartless to save his other bf/gf. Doesn't become a key blade master, but still isn't mad. He continues his quest after that to go save some prior people stuck in the darkness.

There's a reason why he dominates the polls.
Caim from Drakengard
Part 1:
-Pretty much single-handily slaughters a possessed, raging army of thousands upon thousands consisting of humans, monsters, and all sorts of other unholy bullshit.
(Sure, he had party members, but they pretty much did shit. Except the dragon who did help.)
-Lose voice in exchange for souped-up abilities? Hell yeah.
-You got problems? Fuck your problems. Caim ain't got no time for that.
Part 2:
-Uneven odds? Fighting Caim with an army of thousands is already at at a disadvantage.
-Murders a certain somebody so hard, he breaks their immortality and kills Death. DEATH!!! How do you top that shit?
Unfortunately, he pretty much straddles the line on being a complete omnicidal psychopath.
