-We are such badasses!
-We are so badass!

- Ultrarunners have gameness. And that makes them badasses.

I believe that those assertions would be acceptable in North American teenage slang.

Gameness sounds a little odd alongside the slang to me- an unusual pairing.

I found it in a very informal context.
