Top 10 Worst Fighting Game Characters


[Music]
save your quarters kids don’t pick these
guys welcome to watchmojo.com and today
we’ll be counting down our picks for the
top ten worst fighting game characters
every fighting game has them the load
here terribly designed clunky piss-poor
characters these are the picks we avoid
whether it’s from garbage controls or
just plain obnoxious personalities
that’s not to say you can’t learn how to
play with them but really why would you
want to number ten Patroklos so old
caliber five Soulcalibur five showed a
lot of promise for the series a new
entry that introduced us to a new
generation of fighters who served as
successors to the original roster yeah
that sounds great
unfortunately one of those characters
was this self-absorbed brat who
straight-up kills innocent people and
generally makes a mess of things how
unfortunate there’s no way to prove
what’s worse well he’s the son of Sophie
Tia a strong well-developed likeable
series staple he’s essentially a clone
of her fighting wise and he’s not even a
good one with his undeserved arrogance
and misplaced sense of justice
we’ll settle for his sister instead
thanks
best of luck battle one fight number
nine yohko balls 3d there are times when
you come across a quirky fighting game
that manages to be a hidden gem amongst
the other big titles this is not one of
those games to be honest it’s not fair
to just pick one character since all of
them are astonishingly terrible but
after sitting and mulling it over we had
to give it to this monkey I guess really
that’s what we’re working with
we can’t believe we’re saying this but
at least the other characters kind of
looked like some person or creature this
just sort of looks like several brown
balls of play-doh that have been clumped
together to make well whatever it is
[Music]
number eight being the dynamite sonic
the fighters you can file this under who
the hell thought this would be a good
idea
granted some non fighting game
franchises make for good beat em ups but
Sonic the Hedgehog
come on much like balls 3d it’s
difficult to pick one bad character I
mean the entire game is a disaster and
is one of those things that take a
wishes that we’d for God ever existed
still come on being the dynamite a green
duck who throws explosives and you know
pecks it his opponents are we sure that
this isn’t someone’s Sonico see that
they just tossed in the trash in the
hopes of never one ever seen it nope
he’s really in the comics
really
[Music]
number seven Pichu super smash brothers
melee just because it’s cute doesn’t
mean it’s useful especially in a game
like Super Smash Brothers perhaps if the
order were reversed and we got Pichu
first and then moved on to Pikachu but
as it stands Pichu is pretty lackluster
when it’s superior version is available
now there are some benefits to this tiny
electric Mouse it’s faster than Pikachu
and can bounce off walls but its attack
range is dismal and worst of all get
this it hurts itself when using any sort
of electricity
the only good thing we can say about him
is that he didn’t come back for future
games number 6 mr. Satan dragon ball z
budokai series you came away from our
daughter huh what
Hercule sucks and for you DBZ purist out
there mr. Satan sucks
however unlike some of the other
characters on this list we understand
that mr. Hercule Satan will be included
in the game he has to be in order to go
along with the plot that does not mean
that he’s worth picking not if you’re
trying to take this game seriously at
least but if you’re looking for a good
laugh in battle then this is definitely
the guy to go for it’s almost quaint
watching him try to stand a chance
against the other roster of characters
[Music]
[Applause]
number five Dan Hibiki Street Fighter
series I hope you’re ready for a beat
this is the ultimate joke in video game
characters
what started as a jab against an art of
fighting has become a pink typhoon of
feeble overconfidence just like mr.
Satan Dan has become a humorous staple
in the series so we all know the Dan
sucks but I guess we kind of love him
for it
dan abhi is one fans the world over
earning stardom not just from experience
but from his incredible good looks and
personality
the only reason we’d ever pick him is if
the game had some kind of bonus for
beating it with everyone then we’d have
to crank the difficulty to insultingly
easy because that’s the only way that
Dan will win at anything well that’s not
my phone number for su how Mortal Kombat
series Mortal Kombat has had a long
history of colorful characters and some
who should have stayed tucked away in
Ned Boone’s closet while characters like
mocap were intentionally silly so how it
was supposed to be taken seriously well
kudos to you if you got past his tacky
design but we suppose that left you with
a truly unremarkable combatant with a
capital K Jax eventually caught up with
swell and ripped the implant from his
chest in retribution the creator’s hated
him so much that he dies in Deadly
Alliance and Armageddon since they had
to bring him back to complete the roster
man it’s really hard out there for a
cybernetically enhanced Mongolian soo
how became his true self a demon of
emptiness and desolation number three
Shaq Shaq foo
[Music]
you see mojo holux there was a magical
time called the 90s and in the 90s
Shaquille O’Neal was trying to become a
thing insert some crappy movies and this
fighting game where a basketball player
walks into a dojo it ends up in another
dime mm-hmm
sadly this is not the punchline to a
joke and Shaq looks so out of place with
those baggy shorts and sneakers and he
plays about as well as he shoots free
throws yeah at least he doesn’t rap and
hopefully it stays that way in the
sequel yes you heard that right there is
a sequel coming number 2 e co 35 to rise
of the robots
[Music]
for the most part dreadful characters
and fighting games are optional we said
for the most part for a reason as far as
unremarkable protagonists go EC Oh 35 to
is high on the list and you have to play
as him in story mode the worst part he’s
the only playable option period
[Music]
we guess the developers thought that
switching characters was overrated after
all why suffer through poorly designed
hard to control robots when you can be
limited to just one
maybe that’s what vs. mode is for except
when you play that someone by default
has to play EC yo 35 Wow
before we purposely let the continue
screen reach zero let’s let the cursor
linger on these honourable mentions
[Music]
right
[Music]
number one fred durst fight club
we’re totally about to break that first
rule of Fight Club because we have to
talk about this there are a lot of
questions we were left with but the one
that lingers the longest is why fred
durst is he just another layer of the
narrator’s personality is he maybe tyler
durden without the brad pitt charm why
is fred durst an unlockable character in
this game is it because of the Fight
Club shout out to limb biscuits living
it up I don’t know but the only thing
worse than a fighting game not having
unlockables is a fighting game with bad
illogical unlockables who control like
bars of soap do you agree with our list
which fighting game characters do you
fight against in training mode so you
can purposefully beat the crap out of
them
