you’re promised brutality and hardcore
action but all you’re getting is a quiet
scuffle welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’re knocking off our picks for
the top 10 worst fighting games fighting
games are meant to have us riled up and
ready to fight just not actually hitting
other people we’re only looking at the
worst of the worst no matter how obscure
our only exclusionary criteria being no
pornographic games even Joey Styles can
pull back Oh
typically fighting games are defined as
having a one-on-one style of gameplay so
there shall be no beat-em-ups found on
this list number 10
kasumi ninja ja no mushy let’s start
things off with a poor man’s mortal
combat clone something you’ll see a lot
of today Pocky wait an exclusive title
for the Atari Jaguar you could tell this
thing was gonna be a stinker well before
the fighting started what characters
look like they came from a stereotypes
one-on-one handbook highlighted by a
Scottish Highlander who flashes his kilt
to shoot fireballs the backgrounds look
like a series of stock photos and the
fatalities are ridiculous cuz you know
that was a trend at the time
number nine Street Fighter the movie the
game a fighting game based on a movie
based on a game now isn’t that something
you remember how Street Fighter was all
colorful and fast-paced well you can say
goodbye to all that in this dingy
digitized Mortal Kombat look-alike
without a single hint of irony there are
actually two versions of this game with
the Home version trying to emulate the
classic series and the arcade version
being finish something else
Street Fighter the movie plays like any
other fighting classic with all of the
fun and flow taken out of it and lives
on as Capcom’s most embarrassing entry
into the series that end the movie
itself of course you win number eight
tattoo assassins won yet another
fighting game that utilizes digitized
sprites that has you beating up
opponents until you can deliver a
gruesome finishing move does that sound
familiar
oh we’re not saying that Mortal Kombat
has the patent on this looking style but
that no mercy font looks awfully
familiar
but are not so familiar are the controls
or the stiffness to every single one of
its boorish Lee named characters it’s
dull in tone and just plain weird in
execution and the 2,000 plus fatalities
the game boasts are clearly exaggerated
and not very well animated
ha-ah the only good thing we can say
about this is you can watch a Nancy
Kerrigan look-alike farter opponents to
death number 7 Ultraman towards the
future
nothing beats some Japanese monster
fighting unless they look about five
feet tall shortness aside this fighter
has much bigger problems such as its
very high difficulty and poor repetitive
sound effects the difficulty is the real
kicker though as combatants are slow and
plotting on the ground but can fly for
miles off screen if they jump based off
a really campy show from the 1960s it
only makes sense that this would be
ultra crappy as well number 6 rise of
the robots sure it looks nice but that’s
pretty much all it has in 2043 you play
a cyborg who is a bipedal humanoid
fighting against computer virus infected
robots or at least that’s what we think
is happening since the plot is a
complete mess
I don’t know if you caught that but this
all means that there’s only one playable
character this game was massively
overhyped at the time of release and
boasted features that aren’t even in the
game there was no 360 degree movement as
promised and it boasted that opponents
learned from their mistakes which they
don’t opponents actually learned from
their mistakes and read your move Plus
on some cd-rom versions you can’t even
jump over your opponent mega fail number
5 the simpsons wrestling rah-rah
there was once a point when wrestling
was immensely popular there was also a
point when the Simpsons were popular too
but these two forms of entertainment
should never meet again aside from the
unsettling feeling of watching Homer
mercilessly beat his wife the game is a
convoluted mess of broken animations
with no focus on how fights occur not to
mention its poor hit detection and
puller like difficulty ranging from hard
to stupid sexy Flanders
I’m usually a kind hot guy but now you
pissed me off
number 4 balls what on earth is this
it’s actually the perfect example of
graphics / gameplay or at least we think
since aside from the nice animations it
still looks kind of terrifying obvious
enough for the characters that all look
like Andy Serkis filming Caesars motions
but we think that even we could program
a fresher fighting game than this clumpy
monkey indistinguishable characters
messy gameplay and thick sound design
make this a no go dual action pampering
what does that even mean
number three fighter within round one
fight any fighting game that uses the
Xbox Kinect is a doomed endeavor ring
out we’re going to make a dangerous bet
and say that most gamers aren’t MMA
fighters either but that’s ok because
you don’t have to be with this
simplistic and frankly ugly fighting
simulator if you can call this a
simulation that is cuz combat and start
off slapping each other for about thirty
seconds until someone accidentally wins
and then you get to sit through a
two-minute loading screen sounds like
fun right first kick aah
worst of all this is a Kinect game we’re
talking about not the most responsive
platform for a fighting game oh you win
number two Shaq foo he’s a basketball
player rapper actor and now video game
character but if Shaquille O’Neal had to
choose against being one of these we all
know which one it would be famous for
being as terrible as it is ridiculous
this little gem stars Shaq as a kung fu
expert fighting mystic demons in a
far-off world what’s a shame for Shaq is
how bad he is at actually fighting as
the games terrible controls and brutal
difficulty make it almost impossible to
beat the first opponent
but hey if you don’t like your copy of
Shaq foo you can send it to Shaq phu
kham to be liberated from existence yes
we actually found a game worse than Shaq
foo but before we enter that sucker
punch here are a few dishonorable
mentions
to me the quintessential studmuffin
during what promises to be an extreme
night of wrestling
number one catfight truly the worst
fighting game ever made would have to be
one of the most broken and confusing
martial artists Catalans Amir plays
chaley but that’s completely meaningless
when you realize none of the characters
are named in a genre we’re
characterization pacing and excitement
are the key feature it’s clear that the
developers forgot about all of this
after going through Microsoft Office
Word art for the 15th time
you can have more fun with your friends
trying to guess how many worst game ever
made Awards this travesty one than
actually playing it and there are a lot
of those warts fun fact this games
performance isn’t capped which means if
you tried to play it on a computer today
it runs so fast that it’s even more
unplayable than usual do you agree with
our list yell deadly iliac which
fighting game would you tell as the
worst ever for more hard-hitting top 10s
