The Shrine

Let's say you're trying to form a team of fictional game characters to stop some impossibly powerful evil. Any ability that you might use that automatically guaranteeds victory will be trumped by more impossible powers. If you picked a living god (roughly half of the characters in video games) the enemy will be able to kill a living god. If you can rewind time they'd be able to un-rewind time. So basically no matter who you pick, there is no guaranteed of un-killability. You team can be of arbitrary size, consist of heroes, villians, and villagers alike. Who would you use?

Here's my guys:

Megaman X (MMX) - No other hero in video game history has as much experience under his belt, even if his abilities are nothing spectcular. He brings veteran leadership and whininess, and if he dies, no one will miss him anyway.

Solid Snake (MGS2) - Another veteran hero who's seen it all and done it all. He also takes care of any ammuniition needs the rest of your team may need, and his scouting/assassination skills is quite rare amongst superheroes.

Larsa (FF12) - The man with a million X-Potions. Along with Solid Snake, you will have all the infrastructure and supplies you need to wager an effective war against evil. Unlimited items does not guaranteed victory, but will certainly help a lot.

Cid (FF12) - The brains of the group, and if needed he can inject your superheroes with steroids (Nethicites) for some augmented abilty.

Sephiroth, Cloud, Link, and Mario - I think those are the 4 most popular characters in the Gamefaqs poll. Although they do not possess any special skills so far as superheroes/villians are concerned, every team needs some cannon fodder/grunt to do the actual work.

Laguna Loire (FF8) - The motivator of the group, and he actually comes up with reasonably good plans that work as intended when executed correctly. His defeat of Sorceress Adel still stands as the only time where an evil has been sealed away as expected by a plan, as opposed to having the plan fail and then needing to beat the said evil to submission with brute force.

Gau? Please, explain your insane reasoning for that one...

Well whoever my ragtag bunch of weaklings come upon, he can just jump on them and learn their skills.

...should this battle to end all occur on the Veldt.

I'd choose Gau if my goal is to find someone who is so ineffective at combat that whoever I'm up against might not even notice he is there.

fuck that dude. cat scratch fever mother fucker.....he's disgustingly overpowered until you get to the WOR.....he annihilates everything.

Catscratch is Gau's only saving grace, but you only get it 50% of the time or so? Catstratch seems to be the most damaging melee attack in the game, even more so than Bum Rush, but once you start hitting 9999 it can't go any higher.

Gau with a Snow Muffler and say a Paladin Shield is almost impossible to kill though, but it'd probaly take a while for him to kill anything unless you get lucky on Catscratches.

could have fooled me. by the time I hit the WoR he was outdamaging everyone with most of the stray attacks. absolute tank he was. yes later there is more efficient but at that point he's a master of brutal asskicking.

Squall, He fights with the forces of all magic and Espers fused into his very consciousness and soul. With Aura his Lionheart attack will cut through any enemy before him.

Rikku, as a concubine and bomb expert.

The Mario Brothers, every time they get 100 coins they get an extra life, and they have drugs lik magic mushrooms.

Setzer, he is a rich gambler, he will ensure the Mario Brothers stay well stocked in coin

Golden Sonic, he will fly faster and farther than anyone, smashing through any foe.

Gilder, to b a womanizer

Phoenix Wright, to defend Gilder in court against sexual assault charges, and the rest of the party if they get charged for murder, or the poaching of endangered species (like Dragon).

Quistis, to cook food and whip naughty air pirates

Selphie, because all the girls can't be blonde, and she is also young and fun

Aeka, need a red head

Fina, and an innocent blonde who can heal everyone to full easily

Sabin, because Mobnks are always over-powered. "Can't stop the bum rush" -Will Smith, Wild Wild West

This requires too much thought, can't we just go back to boobies? >_>
