counting down our picks for the top ten
guest characters in fighting video games
for this list we will focus on the
characters that come from a different
intellectual property from the fighting
game itself in the game the special
guest will Throwdown with the series
regulars although we are excluding full
roster crossover characters that are
mostly from one or two other companies
usually these guest appearances are a
one-time deal there have been exceptions
however well if one were to look closer
it would be like more than one thing was
staring number 10
Ezio Auditore Soul Calibur 5 in cfml a
Victoria the in-game story behind the
Assassin’s Creed leads inclusion into
the soil series is a strange one indeed
after stealing an artifact from a group
of Templars Ezio Auditore da Firenze was
flung 100 years into the future
according to the animus
despite literally using weapons and
tactics from a century prior the Italian
assassin more than held his own quick
elusive and armed with several bladed
weapons a crossbow smoke bombs and a
hidden gun Ezio proves he has no limit
to a skill everything is permitted
number 9 Cole MacGrath Street Fighter
cross Tekken despite already having a
stat roster calls inclusion in Street
Fighter cross Tekken shocked everyone
once revealed the electrokinetic
protagonist of the first two infamous
games wasted no time dishing out beat
downs Cole only becomes more dangerous
with his electricity harnessing sword
the amp and power boosts of red karma
caused by the mysterious Pandora as one
of three exclusive characters for the
crossover games PlayStation 3 and Vita
ports Cole certainly delivered
number eight rash killer instinct it’s
like reuniting with an old friend and
now it’s time to catch up the
Battletoads seemed to be gone forever
but then it was like Microsoft finally
realized how memorable rares old IPS are
and decided to give us this nostalgic
blast faster than is but zits and pimple
in Derby numb up adventures the shade
wearing em phibian is actually quite the
bruiser here transforming his body into
big boots ram horns and a wrecking ball
rash can be one tough toad to take on he
also can summon his classic speeder bike
for an assist or to get a lift after the
match these cameos are killing me
bring victory number seven earthworm jim
clayfighter 63 and a third fire okay so
63 and a third may not have been as good
as some other games on this list but as
one of the earliest examples of against
appearance it’s hard to deny that honor
combo vacationing on clay moto Jim found
out fellow guest character Boogerman was
there as well not wanting the pick and
flick adventurer to show him up Jim
fights the island residents like bad mr.
frosty and the blob with his trusty
plasma blaster and the ability to use
his head as a whip
Jim will make these clay combatants eat
dirt or eat cow whichever comes first
number six Mega Man Super Smash Bros for
Nintendo 3ds and WiiU
one of the biggest stars on the NES the
Blue Bombers inclusion in Smash Bros is
well-deserved
while Megha retains his default attacks
like the Mega Buster and slide kick it’s
the use of weapons from several robot
masters that makes up most of his
offense his special attacks can be
altered to become even more weapon
choices with special properties of their
own finally his final smash is not only
cool and effective but one of the best
shoutouts to the entire Mega Man
franchise number 5 Freddy Krueger mortal
kombat the pairing of the supernatural
serial killer with the fatality fighter
was a dream come true for gamers but a
nightmare for his victims
challenging Shao Kahn for muscling in on
his soul stealing racket Kahn pulled
Freddie into the earth realm making him
mortal a newly mortal Freddie Krueger is
determined to kill Shao Kahn Freddie’s
out for blood and with his razor typical
of much of it will spill on his quest to
kill Kahn and return to the dream realm
with the Elm Street eliminators
inclusion the door was open for other
iconic movie killers Jason Voorhees and
the predator to appear in Mortal Kombat
X number four pac-man Street Fighter
cross Tekken Namco’s legendary mascot is
no stranger to cameos but his first
fighting game outing in the hands of
Capcom was perhaps his creepiest
appearance ever yet one thing was soon
they were headed for the box pack sir
controls a wooden mech that looks like
Tekken’s mokujin and has enough power to
crush its opponents with his creepy
smile and ravenous appetite in addition
to the massive mech the ball-shaped hero
comes off legitimately terrifying this
would not be packs last guest appearance
in a fighter in Super Smash Bros for
Nintendo 3ds and Wii U he’s a lot more
friendly but no less of a challenge in
battle
number three link Soul Calibur 2 for
this game Namco released an exclusive
character for each existing home console
ps2 users received Tekken’s heihachi
mishima
while Xbox owners were graced with Todd
McFarlane’s antihero spawn and GameCube
players got linked
while we love all three exclusives
there’s no denying the Nintendo fans got
the best deal here link fits the soul
series really well as his looks and
fighting ability blend with the game’s
overall narrative link his arm to the
teeth with his sword shield bow
boomerang and bombs Plus link took a
portal to another world just to destroy
the soul edge and save Hyrule that’s
epic
number two kratos mortal kombat
continuing the trends of displaced
characters and shao kahn being
hopelessly evil the god of war wants to
kill the conqueror after khan abducted
him from ancient greece and attempted to
enslave him you will not see the end of
this day using his blades of exile as
his go-to weapons every one of Kratos
specials contains other familiar
weaponry he obtained over his long path
of vengeance against the Greek gods
violent gory and bloodthirsty Kratos
found the right place for anger
management
before we reveal our guest of honor here
are a few honorable mentions number one
Sonic the Hedgehog
Super Smash Bros Brawl
in Brawl the mario vs sonic dream match
that fans had been waiting for for years
finally became a reality
while the portly plumber and the fastest
thing alive at the olympic games was fun
we all finally saw the two Gaming icons
in combat Sonic
along with Solid Snake from the Metal
Gear series were also the first
third-party characters to be in Smash
Bros Sonic is easy to learn but tricky
to control due to his trademark speed
though his final smash is also
devastating
unlike snake though Sonic would return
in Smash Bros 4 Wii U and 3ds making him
the only character on this list to go
from guest appearance to series standard

guests character is your favorite for
