Connor Mac Cloud of the Clan MacCloud.

Hmm guess I changed my mind.

Conan

There is nothing he can't kill From gods to Wizards.

And he has stronger character shields than Kirk's ripped T-Shirt.

What about Zankuro, the bad guy from Samurai Showdown 3?

He can kill somebody so easily that you wouldn't believe it. To be more precise, two blows with his sword and you're dead.

It's spelled "MacLeod."

I'd have to say Conan because of his character shield. Except for maybe Homer Simpson if he used a sword.

Yeah, but does he kill as quickly as Zankuro??

I haven't heard of Zankuro. And he may not be faster, but he wins.

About this Zankuro fellow: what's impressive about killing someone with two sword blows? One should be enough.

Itto Ogami. The man was a beast.

Samuri Jack

Jubei of Ninja Scroll

Rinrouri Kinsin (sp)

But the all time best swordsman? WESLEY, aka the Dread Pirate Roberts.

Samurai Jack or Conan--Can't decide. Insane Skill/Training vs. Insane Character sheild.

Because he can do it under Fighting Game-Physics.

You know, where things like broken necks and swords impaling through your body are merely painful at worst, and you can recover from them like it was a scratch.

Jack, Hell yes.

Jubei, who?

Rorouni Kenshin (I think that's it), yeah he is pretty good...but Jack would kick his ass.

Wesley, hell yes. "There is something you don't know." "Oh, and what is that?" "I am not left handed either."

Enric.

He can kill with ONE hit in game physics.

gurney and wesley were pretty good too, but I think drizzt could take em.

His real name actually is Shinta Himura but his master gave him a new name Kenshi Himura.

Also noteworthy Manji from Blade of the Immortal. He may not be the most skillfull but he's cunning as heck.

The only one who comes close to Westley is Inigo Montoya.

The Dread Pirate Roberts takes no survivors!

course, they are only a few decades old, and drizzt has had more then a century of expierence. . .
