    Actually, not too many beefs to calm min with that. I don't think Mario himself has EVER been cool, and neither has Sonic, (hedgehog with a 'tude? Come on). The rest are pretty good though.

    Well IMO there can be no arguing with the guy in #1 but honestly now, Mario? Link I can agree with, but only since TP hit the shelves. Also no Chris Redfield= bad.

    Funny how it's only male characters on the list, unless they're planning a chicks-only sequel next week. You'd have thought Lara would be in there somewhere, or Chun-Li?

    When you look up "Cool" in the dictionary all it says is "see Duke Nukem".

    Even if his next game is still MIA, he is still the coolest.

    Mario has never and will never be anywhere near as cool as Duke. It is offensive to have him on a list with the likes of Duke.

    Possibility is infinity! You must be satisfied!

    Haha, I like how it shows a picture of Big Boss instead of Solid Snake when he's mentioned.

    ^^^^That list is better.

    Plus, its in video form. And Duke Nukem kicks more ass than anyone ever will, ever.

    What about Blade and Stryker? Those guys were "Bad Dudes."

    Mario
    Cloud

    No mention of the Lee brothers from Double Dragon? If Solid Snake only had the earlier Metal Gear games to go by and the PS1/PS2 MGS games weren't in existence, he wouldn't have even sniffed a top 20.

    Sonic was cool for a brief amount of time, but he's long since turned in his "cool" black leather jacket (which most members need to wear, unlike Duke).

    There is no way anyone with the name "Cloud" could even be considered anything close to "cool".

    Just one thing confuses me.

    How the FUCK did Mario outrank Kratos?! How does that work, huh?
    Gimmie a game, I'll either love it, or pimp-smack it.

    Abe? ABE? Abe should be on a list of the uncoolest video game heroes. Not that there's anything wrong with him being uncool, but he is.

    Also if you're going to include a Final Fantasy character at least include one that was actually COOL, like Auron, or better yet, Balthier (though he might be a little too recent for the list).

    Everyone always told me how badass Auron was, but I just finished the game, and wasn't ever impressed by him in any way

    Maybe cause the game sucked. Cool characters can turn into uncool pieces of crap pretty quick if their game is garbage. There are a ton of examples, with Sonic being the first that comes to mind.

    Cool characters? Hmmm... I always think the bad guys tend to be cooler. Just me opinion in terms of character design.



    Kratos -- how can you not mention him? He oozes cool.
    Ryu Hyabusa -- the definition of ninja
    Master Chief -- obvious
    Sure, I'll give ya Duke -- obvious choice
    Dante (DMC) -- guns AND swords? One please.
    Jehuty from ZOE2 -- great char design just makes him look badass
    Guile -- love da hair
    M. Bison -- know how to use him and watch your opponents get real pissed
    Liquid Snake -- how cool is it that he just won't die? evil laugh hahaha!
    Revolver Ocelot -- i want to learn how to dual wield pistols
    Parallel universe. Bush, destitute, joins army.
