Definitely, Yabai means “dangerous”. When you say あいつら、ヤバイぜ！ , which I gave you in my last post,

it
generally means “They look way dangerous !”
Now then, let me show you some choices I can think of at this moment.
Meijin (めいじん 名人
hot shot, master)
SugoUde (すごうで 凄腕
highly-skilled, extremely-skilled)
Kengou (けんごう 剣豪
great swordsman)
Samurai (さむらい 侍
)
Muteki (むてき 無敵
unbeatable, this one reminds us of a famous 無敵艦隊 “Spanish Armada”.
In fact, here in Japan we call Spanish National Team of football, 無敵艦隊
Muteki-Kantai,
unbeatable fleet)
Tensai (てんさい 天才
genius)
Oujya (おうじゃ 王者
champion, monarch)
Though I have no clue which ones would be
easy to say for you, and others would be not, I will be glad if could be of any help to you.
And I don't think you need to worry about how it would sound to the Japanese.
