Sometimes, hoofing it just won’t be enough, and in that regard, Crane, Faith, and Nilin have to be eliminated from this one right out the gate. Nothing against them, but the human body can only go so fast. Drake and Evie barely avoid getting the axe here due to their grapple based skills; in Uncharted 4, our hero gets a grappling hook, and the Frye sister has a rope launcher that she can use to get anywhere she so pleases. Both items are perfect for their respective owners to get out of combat or take out enemies silently.

Our Employee has a variety of skills they can use to get around. Virtually every hard surface in the game launches them into the air so they can use their crowbar to hang on the wires and grind them, or they can just grind on them using their feet. They can also dash in the air and grind on water as well. Kinda like Tony Hawk. Corvo can upgrade his speed and jumping ability, but his real strength lies in his Blink ability, which allows him to teleport.

Cole, meanwhile, has a plethora of abilities he can use to get around. Along with his natural parkour skills, he can grind rails to get around the city faster and use his Static Thrusters to fly around. In his second game, he can grind rails vertically to get a quick boost to higher ground, along with an electric tether that pulls him to any surface within reasonable distance. Plus, depending on your Karmic Balance, he can shoot up into the air thanks to a block of ice or performing a flaming swan dive.

Winner: Cole (Infamous)

Okay, this one is a no-brainer. Superpowers beat everything, and Cole’s got a buffet of abilities to work with. It’s badass to ride the rails and drain electricity as you pass by, and it’s awesome to shoot up into the air like an electric rocket. While the fire ability doesn’t do much compared to the ice block, they can both be used in tandem pretty well with the tether. And if you think his movement abilities are great, just wait til you play as Delsin…
