Ciri w/ dat Elder Blood

tough question, I have 2 options:
1st Aya Brea (Parasite Eve) though she changes her personality on the part 2 of the video game, she really kicks mitochondrial asses all the way through manhattan...
2nd The Boss (MGS: Snake Eater) Big Boss' menthor and co-creator of the CQC... does anyone need a resume?

so, i would go for... option 2, The Boss... her story, her dying for her country in spite of being labeled a traitor, and moreover, to have trained Jack AKA Big Boss, she is for me, the most badass woman of the videogames...

 

[elbert]

The baddest femme fatale is a hard call. I would say it falles between Bayonetta(Hellena Taylor) or Lara Croft(Yūko Kaida).

 

[acabrino]

Samus would be one, I think, but also Chun-Li!

 

[omegadoom13]

I love Chun-Li! Old school!

 

[jjim26]

It has to be Bayonetta

 

[OneFai]

Bloody Mary from The Wolf Among US if I may suggest.

 

[kennishor]

BloodRayne

 

[Fortirun]

Definitely Lara Croft.

 

[alidan]

You want badass female characters, big boss metal gear solid 3 pretty much hands down, but femme fatale is quite a bit harder... I would have to go ada from resident evil... can't really think of more than that and the few I can think of are spoilers.

as a side note, would love a copy of bayonetta, especially because the only other version I have is the ps3 version and couldn't really get into it because of the issues that console had with the game.

 

[Kunra Zether]

I'm going to take it back a little bit and say sorceress Edea from final fantasy 8.

 

[Kunra Zether]

A femme fatale (/ˌfæm fəˈtɑːl/ or /ˌfɛm fəˈtɑːl/; French: [fam fatal]) is a stock character of a mysterious and seductive woman whose charms ensnare her lovers, often leading them into compromising, dangerous, and deadly situations. She is an archetype of literature and art. Her ability to entrance and hypnotise her victim with a spell was in the earliest stories seen as being literally supernatural; hence, the femme fatale today is still often described as having a power akin to an enchantress, seductress, vampire, witch, or demon, having power over men.

Just to give y'all a little help on what a femme fatale is.

 

[Ravenwingsts]

For the seductive side - Ada from Resident Evil

 

[superninja12]

chun lee from street fighter!

 

[Trafalgar747]

Lara Croft

 

[chimera201]

Rayne from Bloodrayne

 

[MeesterYellow]

It has to be Bayonetta, the witch herself. Cmon, why else would there be a giveaway based off her game? :O

 

[Maarsch]

an attractive and seductive woman, especially one who will ultimately cause distress to a man who becomes involved with her.

Euhm . . . .
Gee . . .

Citra - Far Cry 3?


This has to be one of the most over-used tropes in the industry, yet I'm having a hard time coming up with female characters that are actually sneaky and plotty rather than just big boobed or scantily clad leaders of some criminal organization whose deceit you can smell coming a mile away.

 

[Jeff Kaos]

Morrigan from Dragon Age: Origins. I mean c'mon, she epitomizes the term "femme fatale" in almost every way.

 

[Dom_79]

Sniper Wolf. She was never wanting to be in that situation and she got though it almost. Plus Otacon loved her, so she had that going for her too.

 

[GreatMaster]

loved BATWOMAN with its seductive movements in batman movies

 

[Shinji10TH]

Probably Bayonetta, but Fang (FF13) comes close in the badass part.

 

[JohnBonhamsGhost]

Samus has got to be the top

 

[vitius]

Sonya Blade from mortal kombat. liked her moves and animations...
