Hehe... Nope
Yoshimitsu, Jin, Eddy (The easy fans favorite), Akuma... They're all up there

And... Of course you rate how iconic a character is by how fans like or dislike him so, yea. Fans favorite can be classified as being iconic. Imagine if people preferred another character other than Mario back then. He wouldn't have been as popular as he is presently.

Then games like Resident Evil, Assassin's Creed, League of Legends, Overwatch, etc would have the same problem. IMO, a character is iconic when they're are popular or at least, known to fans outside their genre. They're the poster boys/girls of their genres and franchises. Non-fighting gamers will definitely know Ryu or Chun Li, most likely know of Scorpion or Sub-Zero and might have heard of Heihachi or Kazuya. But they'll have a hard time placing names or faces like Yoshimitsu, Eddy, Kitana or Noob Saibot

LucemFerre:


Yea, I believe he's an icon cuz I see him everywhere

Aii bro

LucemFerre:
Kratos aka God of War

If I don’t mention Kratos then “I will make me suffer.” Kratos is one of the most iconic characters in gaming. He is so iconic that it has been proven difficult to make a movie of him in fear of ruining the character or getting off to a bad start.

The Demigod was created by David Jeffe, with the intention of creating a brutal-looking unconventional Greek hero, the initial designs even included helmet and with hair but, the creator wanted a more distinctive design that would be recognized by his facial features.

Kratos has a scar on his left eye which was given to him by Ares (the former God of war). The red tattoo which was formerly blue but, changed to red as the design progressed, was attributed to his dead brother Deimos.

Kratos is the iconic character of the Play Station company who made his first appearances in 2005 in God of War. And in 2018 has a more older look and a more enhanced graphics and camera angle in the game franchise. The reason being that the players are somehow detached from the character and the developers wanted the players to feel closer to the character.

Dwayne Johnson, The Rock, would fit that role.

I wonder a list without crash bandicot

Awesome list man. Good job.

Urdnot Wrex

If Carboni of Italy in SEGA is not on the list....then forget it

LucemFerre:
Dante

Dante was my favorite game character until they introduced him looking like a raggedy old pedophile in DMC 5 (I hope, for my fandom sakes that he isn’t going to look that bad when the game drops).

Dante's first appearance was in Devil May Cry in 2001. He was the son of Sparda (a powerful demon) and Eva (a human). He and his elder twin brother, Vergil were given birth to after their father Sparda sided with the humans to drive back an invasion more than 2,000 years back. His father Sparda was later killed and they (him and his brother) grew up with their mother until sometime later when she was killed and his brother corrupted by some group of demons. Ever since Dante has taken up on himself to enact revenge on the demons which resulting in his present occupation and a demon hunter.

He was created by Hideki Kamiya. And his personality was decided to be a cocky overconfident character with great powers from his father. He can willingly enter his full demon mode (the devil trigger) which makes him invincible.

The appearance of Dante was altered in the new DMC reboot, which suffered criticisms but, as we have seen in the 2018 E3 he is coming back as his original appearance.

Dante has appeared in manga series and also in animated series which makes him more popular and an iconic video game character.

Son of Sparda, the GOAT of all video games

"I am the God of War, and i will make you suffer!"

"Oh you beast!, i will send you to the depths of Hades!"

"If those on Olympus would deny me my vengeance, then all of Olympus will die!"

'I haven't forgotten you, for what you did that night, this city will be your grave!!"

"The Gods of Olympus have abandoned me, and now, there is no hope"

Core gaming back then , Its been long, thanks for the memories Bro

Dwayne Johnson, The Rock, would fit that role.

No way, best fit is Jason Momoa (Khal Drogo, Aquaman)

Alternative should be Goldberg, i don't know how good he is at acting though.

GameGod:

Honorable Mentions

- Sonic the hedgehog

- Link (Zielda)

- Agent 47 (Hitman series)

- Cortana (Halo series)

- Captain Price (Call of Duty series)

LoL, dude! Mario did not even make it to honourable mentions and Sonic did? Are you a hater? LoLz

And you chose Sonic over Seamus of the Metroid fame? I'd even have put Street Fighter characters over Sonic.

LucemFerre:
Mario aka Super Mario

Before I start, let me get something out of my chest. I hate the way this character talks. Now, that that is out of the way, let’s begin.

Wow you actually are a hater! LoLz!

LucemFerre:
Kratos aka God of War



Kratos has a scar on his left eye which was given to him by Ares (the former God of war). The red tattoo which was formerly blue but, changed to red as the design progressed, was attributed to his dead brother Deimos.

I thought the scar was on the right eye.

Aside Mario, Kratos always made my day. He's my best game character by far. I like Leon and Link too.

Right on point @Khal Drogo.

LucemFerre:
That's the problem with including fighting game characters.
You're gonna have to mention almost all of them.

Akuma, M.Bison, Scorpion, Liu Kang, Kitana, Raiden, Jago, Eddy etc... The list will go on

U dinor mention my babe Sanya

Oh, snap! Yea, right eye. My bad. Thanks for the correction.

Xkalaban:


Right on point @Khal Drogo.

He's definitely going to get it spot on, we've seen The Rock in almost everything, and he isn't better than Jason in that aspect.

Always knew this would be a difficult list i.e the OP must definitely step on toes. I think he's right to exclude the fighting/arcade games characters as well as CJ. At least, CJ isn't even a recurring character in the GTA universe.

GloryIsaac:

Yea I concur. He has that Kratos type mean looks too. The Rock has a knack for turning serious things into comedy. Kratos for sure ain't showing his teeth for no one. He's simply mean.

Someone should help me list interesting android games....

I will even term solid and n. aked snake more iconic than the master chief and Kratos.

Seems most people didn’t play Al Pacino’s Scarface.

Cus y’all forget to add it to all list always.

Hopkins from Bully also.

Mhen adventures and open world games are sweet
