5. Sora (Kingdom Hearts)

Which Snake are they refering to? I think The Boss>>>>>>>>Big Boss>Solid Snake
The solid one, obviously
I'll rather Ocelot...
OCELOT BONUS!
Ocelot was cool when he was a cowboy with a revolver reloading fetish, but when he became Liquid ocelot,he lost much of his edge.
That said.
Big Boss>>>>>>Revolver Ocelot>>Solid Snake
Ocelot was cool when he blew out Big Boss's eye too. I never regarded Liquid Ocelot seriously since technically he is 2 persons in one.
*Spoiler for MGS4*
Liquid Ocelot was one person acting as if he was two while he was trying to fool the patriots.
Where's Imperialdramon?
-Plasma Snake-
At least The Boss was fapable
Everyone knows that Bose-Einstein Condensate Snake is the coolest(pun intended).
How more blatantly bias could this get really? Who are they kidding, MARIO second? What the fuck, even if i don't like Snake and i can at least understand why he's number 1, but Mario, just what mushrooms were they smoking. Yes I fucking love Mario, but cool? Fuck no.
Revised true list:
1.Link
2.Snake
3.Sora
4.Cloud
5.Does anyone else matter.
Yes, because Sora is the epitome of coolness.
We don't need your whining, fftard.
No Dante? he's the most badass character ever. They have pick the best character, not the coolest (and even like that i'd have to disagree, there's no way this list has the best characters, maybe Snake and cloud....)
Being able to save the world when you don't ever say any words puts you pretty high up in the list of badassness.
if i had to make just one swap in that list, i would replace pikachu with sonic. i mean, sure, pikachu is cute and such, but not cool by almost any definition of the word. also, what about newer generation game characters?
I'd second young Ocelot being somewhere on the list. After all, what's more cool than a ferocious "MREOW!" to summon your comrades?
there is only ONE snake. that is the legendary Solid Snake. liquid got killed "snake-eater" lol. solidus got his ass whooped. and big boss... well i don't like to give spoilers, ;d
You. You are an idiot.
Each one contributed to the entire "Solid" story in a significant role, but each was badass in their own way, mate.
Solid is no doubt the strongest by this point, and a living WMD if he manages to live that long again (unless it was really cured, don't remember).
Say what you want about Liquid, he WOULD. NOT. DIE. Was it 5 times? Even a fake memory in Ocelot, he was still technically alive.
Solidus did what he could to thwart the Patriots after his "Shadow Moses Incident" was thwarted and failed. Got his ass handed to him, but his actions led to MGS 4 turning out the way it did; Snake & Otacon found that Partiot info very important.
Naked is arguably the coolest, given his history of bad-guy badassery and heroics in 3 and the upcoming game. If I'm not mistaken, he's also the crowd fave (wasn't there a huge survey?)
They all contributed significantly, and each was pretty f-ing cool; it's just that the survivors in the last game have their memories held in a brighter light. Whatever.
Just my opinion, and facts from (bad) memory. 90% of you are gonna tl;dr this anyways.
solid snake FTW
SO YOU LIKE TO PLAY CASTLEVANIA??
I don't know why you got negative points on your comment but "I see what you did there" :D
Actually, I do... =P
Wish MGS4 had more moments like that one...
SO YOU LIKE TO PLAY SUPER MARIO SUNSHINE??
SNAKE! YOU CAN'T DO THAT!
TIME PARADOX!
SNAKE? SNAKE!!!!!!!!
SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!!!
*BADA BAM BAM BAAAM....
"Kept You Waiting Huh?"
"Metal Gear?"
"Damn!"
"Gotcha"
...among others...
Snake Man
ITS BIG BOSS WHO ELSE?!
What no Ryu from street fighter, really!
Guess no FF13 character fully accepted by the readers. Thank god for Cloud
Yeah, Ryu would definitely be on my list somewhere.
I'll tell you what's missing...Pacman! Pac-f*cking-the-man. Swallowing sh*ts up like a champ. Even Nintendo had to make a pink knockoff of him, that's how cool he is.
LOL I AGREE WITH SLIME BEING COOL!!! i remember when theres a time when nintendo power had an editor named Alan and his aavatar was of the slime. hes the coolest guy nintendo power hired.
3. Cloud <<< how old are these guys?
He is an incredibly shallow and arch-typical "cool" character. Save the word, has a sword, motorbike, fucked the girl with the biggest tits.
Same could be said of Sora, they're pretty much the definition of angst but they did ty so hard to be cool.
It's Mario I'm worried about. The fact he beat some inanimate slime was sad enough but considering his competition was Pikachu it's no wonder he almost won.
He's not even, "cool", he's just a pathetic emo. He spends most of the game deluding himself and repeatedly betraying his friends. FFVII was fun to play, but Cloud was a horrible lead.
Can't call it betrayal or self delusion when his delusions were caused by factors not within his control. He has a right to be emo, he got his whole hometown destroyed right before his eyes. His character is much deeper than most, due to it being fleshed out more thoroughly of course.
"he got his whole hometown destroyed right before his eyes"
Same thing happen to Tifa and Barret but you don't see them whine.
Right Anon, you don't see them whine at all.
Oh, but they did start a rebellion.
Uhhh... Tifa was bitter, she goes all "SOLDIER, Shinra I HATE THEM AAAAALLL!!!"
Barrett goes Bin Laden on Mako Reactors... Tifa helps...
No, they weren't bitter at all... No, sir.
They just didn't voice it all that often, but they were perhaps worse than Cloud. It amazes me how little analysis people make of these characters.
Barrett was a bitter idiot who led a terrorist group that acted through self serving propaganda (remember the Avalanche ad in Midgar), set explosives to blow up reactors, killing innocents in the process. Yet, he still went to see lil' Marlene.
Tifa was bitter as well, collaborating AND HIDING Avalanche members in her bar. Were they doing the right thing by destroying the reactors? Hard to say. They could have attacked the Shinra building. They DID survive the escape, even though they had 3rd class Soldiers thrown at them... Yet, they went for Al Quaeda tactics.
Squall is better
Wrap them both, please :}
Like comparing two rotten apples...
And Cecil is better than either.
GTFO!!!
Sephiroth >>>>> both
Cecil looks like a girl
as a quote from a video
"you think cloud will have a beer with me at the bar? He's going to have a fooking cocktail"
