games swordsman number 10 Marth Fire
Emblem series
the protagonist of the first Fire Emblem
game in Japan Marth is a blade wielder
of legend his royal blood blue hair and
skills on the battlefield make him a
born leader and a formidable opponent
the West’s first taste of Fire Emblem
was the inclusion of Marth and the young
warrior Roy in super smash brothers
melee for GameCube Marth was a popular
choice among smash players especially in
the competitive scene his popularity is
credited with Nintendo finally bringing
fire album to the west in 2003 Marth
still makes cameo appearances in Fire
Emblem games today oh yeah and good luck
finding his amiibo
number nine Travis touchdown no more
heroes series I want to be number one
how’s that short it’s simple enough for
you when you imagine a hero the word
conceded foul-mouthed and ruthless
usually don’t come to mind you obviously
don’t know me but then again Travis
touchdown is not your average
protagonist bad answer
wielding a beam katana that he won in an
online auction
Travis tries to climb the professional
assassin ladder by tracking down and
eliminating the world’s deadliest
killers congratulations you are now
ranked 10th 10th huh what do I get
anything throughout the game players
come to see that Travis is motivated by
more than just his personal game either
way he definitely has the skills and
style to back up that big mouth okay how
about this
if I become number one will you do it
with me number eight mitsurugi Soul
Calibur series my blade is angry once a
taste originally a sword for hire it’s a
ruby set out to find the mythical blade
the soul edge so he could keep up with
the firearms that were becoming
standardized weapons of war though he
didn’t find the blade mitsurugi was able
to refine his skills enough so that he
could bring a sword to a gunfight and
win this fight a big which my time since
then he’s roamed the land looking for
skilled opponents so that he could push
his abilities even further in a time
when swords were becoming obsolete it’s
a rookie stood by his blade now that
defines true dedication when no one
would take Solich from me number seven
Dante Devil May Cry series
paranormal mercenary might just be the
coolest job title we’ve ever heard of
this kind of work comes naturally when
you’re the son of famous demon Bell
sorry
not open for business yet Dante uses the
sword rebellion in combination with guns
and infuses them both with his demonic
energy despite having to hunt down some
of the most fearsome otherworldly
creatures
Dante always has a confident smirk on
his face I haven’t even picked a name
for this joint and I’m already getting
calls
don’t let that careless smile fool you
however Dante takes takes seriously and
fights for both his family and friends
Devils are certainly gonna be crying
after Dante has sliced him to shreds
don’t bin on number six Geralt of Rivia
The Witcher series I look like a local
to you you look like trouble dead wrong
I make trouble go away practice makes
perfect sure but what do you do when you
want to take your abilities to a
superhuman level well for witchers it
means subjecting yourself to the most
brutal physical and emotional torture
with some crazy rituals thrown in for
good measure
survive all of that and you may just be
on the same level as Geralt in a rumble
it takes at least four lads to take him
down
I’ll do it single handed he can see of
the dark heal wounds and kick ass with
immortal strength and speed and a blade
and you’ve got one lethal mercenary just
remember steel for humans silver for
monsters boy people the French taken
Micah’s mind aah
and I’ll take your tongue if you don’t
shut up number five frog
Chrono Trigger
hey you didn’t imagine a sword-wielding
frog would make this list aptly named
frog from Koro trigger was originally a
knight from the Middle Ages although he
started his life as glam the squire he
was transformed into his amphibian form
by mages and only took up the sword
after the very same bill and took the
life of his master
luckily this transformation gave him
some useful skills like the ability to
jump super high use magic and in some
instances his long tongue as well the
bulk of his strength comes from his
powerful sword the Masamune after the
player finds the two pieces of the sword
frog is ready to save the world and
hopefully restore his true form
number four Cloud Strife final fantasy
seven
my name is cloud
soldier first class the spiky blond hair
and Buster Sword are recognizable by
gamers around the world Final Fantasies
haven’t made a huge splash Manning hit
the West and cloud was its poster boy
you’re the one who can’t let go a next
soldier for hire cloud joins a ragtag
group of rebels against the Shinra
corporation his previous employer size
certainly matters when it comes to
sharpen steel the buster sword slices
through metal with ease and in
combination with Limit Breaks it can
absolutely devastate foes my limit
yes
with his surprising addition to smash
brothers many of the world’s dream
matchups can finally be realized
goldeneye hang a coup d’etat number 3
ridin Metal Gear series
snake it’s my turn to protect you jack
codenamed ridin was a child soldier
who’s early life revolved around war the
young operative from Metal Gear Solid 2
soon became a cyborg ninja with
extraordinary strength and abilities no
just not that cyborg ninja dammit get
down
Ryden shows major change throughout his
appearances he undertakes intense
training and even body modifications all
in the name of finding his true purpose
though some gamers were skeptical of his
delicate white locks getting turned into
a cyborg definitely helped his rap and
allowed him to shake his emo roots hey
you don’t get the name Jack the Ripper
for nothing
number two link The Legend of Zelda
series you know it’s quite amazing that
a little pointy-eared boy can become a
sword master simply because an old man
warned him that it’s dangerous to go
alone nevertheless the Zelda series
wouldn’t be as memorable as it is today
without the green tunic hero and his
trusty blade depending on his adventure
link will often start off with a rather
small blade before finally being able to
wield the legendary Master Sword or
sometimes something even bigger still no
matter what weapon link carries and he
carries a lot it’s his trusty blade that
will always get the job done before we
get to our top pick here are a few
honorable mentions
to find a place for that dog
number one ryu hayabusa Ninja Gaiden
series
the leader of his own clan ryu uses the
dragon sword to chop up the opposition
quite literally starting with his
outings on the nes ryu set himself apart
from other sword wielders by being fast
agile and able to cut through enemies
with a single slice of his sword
these characteristics translated over
beautifully into the 3d realm where you
can glide between opponents to rack up
combos and once an enemy is injured he
can finish them off with a press of the
button he quite literally leaves a trail
of blood and mangled body parts in his
way not the kind of guy you want to piss
off do you agree with our list maybe
maybe not who’s your favorite video game
