Hey its been a while since we had a top 10 list on the channel so lets make it a fun one! Fighting games moreso than perhaps any other genre of gaming are full of weird characters and oddballs for sure, but some are pretty next level. So here is my pick of a top 10 of the weirdest fighting game characters ever! Naturally everyone will have their own picks so feel free to post them in the comments as well! If you found this video fun or educational maybe leave a like!
Hey Roofle if possible can you do a video on the possible ways Capcom can continue their VS franchise. Should they fight themselves lol or fight another brand like Sega, Tezuka (makers of astro boy), DC or Shonen Jump. Oh in that vid you also talk about why Capcom has left its VS series in limbo for so long. Thanks
Amazing top. On the other hand, In a fighting game, a tank is more normal than a car. A car is weirder because it's a everyday vehicle and It uses its wheels as hand and foot.
Fun fact: Apparently Keiji Inafune (considered the "father" of Mega Man) specifically chose the Bad Boxart version for the game, as there was another canceled Mario Maker-esque Mega Man title that would've featured BBA Mega Man as well.
The story I heard was that the SFxT team came to Inafune for permission to use Mega Man, and he wanted to see them do something new with it, because we'd already seen Mega Man in a fighting game. They came back with Bad Box Art Mega Man, and he loved it.
Thank you for making this video, I was looking forward to watch a video about weirdest characters In fighting games and it actually popped up on RU-vid search, great video so far
My favorite thing about Kuma (aside from the fact that he’s a bear trained in karate) is that he’s possibly the only person other than Kazumi who Heihachi actually loves, or really even likes.
Just a general list of weird characters, not necessarily any more or less weird than the ones on the list: Es, Ivan Ooze, Honey in Sonic the Fighters (just the weirdness of making Honey from Fighting Vipers a Sonic character), pretty much any Tattoo Assassin character.
ive learned in the NRS community you should not trust any leaks rumors that aren't being widely reported...but i'll tell ya what i got my hopes up for Mokap as MK11 DLC...sigh
While I think they portrayed him perfectly, Phoenix Wright in Marvel 3. His whole move set screams “This is a man who has never thrown a punch in his life and managed to fight superheroes by mistake.” His launcher is a *sneeze*, for god’s sake. Then Turnabout Mode happens and he becomes an absolute force of destruction because… he collected enough evidence? He has confidence now that he can win the case? Apparently there was a court case going on while this fight was happening? And then, finally, his level 3, where he exposes your crimes and makes a dramatic callout post on your ass, and you then die of emotional trauma. Which also happens to be the strongest level 3 by damage in the game.
One important fact about Blitztank: It is powered by dying soldiers used as living batteries. In its story mode after killing Akatsuki and taking the McGuffin the Blitz Motor, it regains its sentience. But not just one person's sentience, but _every person used as a battery, all scared and panicked._ The big bad Murakumo actually wants to mercy kill Blitztank, but loses and dies before saying death will come for it. While the events don't seem to be canon at all (Because of good old classic arcade FG story telling of "some stuff in the character stories are canon and others aren't), it does explain what Blitztank actually is, which also is just a finished prototype and there are *more* ready to be unleashed out on the world...
If akatsuki is like Captain Japan (a la Captain America, being a frozen super soldier representing the values of his home country) does that make Blitztank his winter soldier
Would love to see a part 2 of this because there are plenty other beautifully strange fighting game characters, and also it feels like a crime to exclude Voldo from a list like this!
Voldo being weird is sort of odd since that's sorta the point of him to the point where it's overly easy to point to him as The Weirdo arguably Angol Fear is weirder due to her nature as a crossover character who doesn't even exist in the media she's supposed to be from (she's the cousin of a main character in Sgt. Frog who's a race of heavily destructive aliens), and also just looking way different than everyone else
Hey we are back in business properly now! So here's a silly top 10 list for you and while we wait for Baiken and KoF 15 to launch, expect some more off kilter videos like this, some silly, maybe some a bit more serious. Big things on the channel are coming for 2022 so hop along for the ride!
Just cause you weird don't mean you ain't cool. As for Arakune I think he's dull, and Faust is more of a slapstick character than anything else. Neco Arc is a champion, there isn't a single weird thing about her.
Honorable mention to jagi from hnk who gets gaurd broken if he blocks low too much, can pour gasoline on the ground and light it, has a super move where you he asks you to say his name and you have to pick from a few different options and is the worst character in the game with bad matchups against everyone and two 1:9 matchups
Elphelt is definitely a Man hunter. Although Elphelt is kinda pervy with her nosebleeds when she is fantasizing about marrying her groom, I find it oddly more wholesome than when other anime characters do it. I find her ending quotes against the male characters very funny, because they are just her marriage delusions. Her ending quotes against female characters are also funny to, because it basically just revolves around her womanhood and how she is competing against the rest of the female cast.
"Elphelt is kinda pervy with her nosebleeds"... Is she? I mean anime characters do that a LOT and I never seen anyone call them pervy so idk what you mean. But I do agree that it's hilarious her vision of the cast xD
Yep! Didn't cover that for this video but Q-Bee was the first ever subject of the ridiculous history series on this channel and she has that and many more strange facts about her.
@@sansclone1874 bees have more than one set of eyes. They could be extra eyes, or they could be just false eyes. She probably has a cute feminine face for the same reason she has boobs 😅
Ehhh Leopaldon looks weird and I love him for it, but that's really all he has. If I did like a "top 10 characters history has forgot" he would make that list cause he got disowned REAL quick
Neco-Arc (Melty Blood): A gag rendition of Arcuied with cat ears from Tsukihime's joke cutscenes after a bad ending metanarratively evolving into a separate character who became something for Type-Moon like how Jack Frost is for Atlas, functioning as both a mascot for the company, and an absolute meme and hype factory that continues to spread the word of their properties. Also, she has eye lasers and can cough out fire and other Neco-Arcs. Rasputin (World Heroes): A peace loving and somewhat dopey parody of the famous "religious figure" who actually has magical powers... one of his supers is straight up sexual assault. Otane Goketsuji (Power Instinct): An lady who devoted to mastering martial arts so she can get revenge on her sister, who locked her in a box and threw her in the ocean as a child. She was so devoted to the training, she's already in her 70s by the first game. Norimaro (Marvel Superheroes vs Street Fighter): A parody version of a famous Japanese comedian made to make the game appealing to the Japanese scene. He's kinda like a shitty shoto who can also quadruple jump. Lucky Glauber (King of Fighters): A shoto who's ballin'.
Yeah but in the video you said to post the characters we think are weird as hell in the comments so that is what i did i like your list a lot tho a lot of character i have never heard of in my life
Funny thing about Hinako from KOF is that despite looking Russian, she's mostly Japanese. Also, she's constantly trying to get other high school girls to join her Sumo club, but to no avail for obvious reasons. It's nice that she happens to be friends with Hotaru from Garou, if the endings in 13 and 14 are anything to go by.
When I think of weird fighting game characters my mind always goes to Kusaregedo from Samurai Showdown V. Huge cannibal demon, what else needs to be said.
Obviously everybody has their own, but one of the more memorable ones to me is Ushi the Cow from Fighter's Destiny. Not just because it's an upright cow that fights you but...generally the game isn't full of fantasy elements, you can't shoot hadukens or anything and the game runs on a confusing points system like a irl martial arts tournament. It's relatively grounded even compared to like Tekken and VF. And that really makes the part where you fight an upright cow stand out.
totally disagreeing with elphelt.hinako and fat megaman ggacpr zappa or even xrd faust is wierder than elphelt .. from sf3 there is 12. oro necro & Q .. voldo from Soul Calibur.. dr b or gon from tekken in kof there is magaki and Hyena "kof maximum impact"
I thought I was going to be surprised to not see any characters from Clayfighters appear on this list, but I gotta say the competition was too strong and the right call was made. Side note: no love for Q-Bee's electrocuted skeleton (or lack thereof)?
If a fighter mega mix 2 eve happens, that’s how Hornet should appear in your arcade run as a mid level boss. You think is a car bonus stage and then he gets up after a couple of punches
I love weird characters, they are just fun to use. Theres a lot u could have presented like Double and (Headless) Ms Fortune from Skullgirls, Arakune from Blazblue, Teddie and Sha. Labrys, even Dr Bosconovitch counts
Don't forget Kusaregedo from Samurai Shodown! An ugly, fat, creepy, old man youkai big enough to give Gold Lightan a run for his money. He also vomits poison for one his moves, and has a fatality-like finishing move where he straight-up eats his opponent. Kinda hard to beat that. Steve from Smash is kinda weird, too. Literally a Minecraft character in a fighting game. His gimmick lets him mine for materials in the stage and use those to build new level geometry. You know, to wall bounce you against. Weird stuff.
So no Roger Jr. from Tekken? No Neco Arc from Melty Blood? What about Mr. Game and Watch from smash bros? I respect your list but you coulda went a little weirder man. There needs to be a part 2 or a redux or something
How about: Faust (Guilty Gear) Arakune (BlazBlue) Merkava (Under Night In-Birth) Neco-Arc/Chaos Neco-Arc (Melty Blood) Double (Skullgirls) Q (Street Fighter) Jack or Pete (Power Stone) Norimaro (Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter) Phoenix Wright (Marvel vs. Capcom) Hakushon Daimaō (Tatsunoko vs. Capcom) Kusaregedo (Samurai Shodown) Roger/Alex/Roger Jr. or Mokujin (Tekken) Yoshimitsu (Tekken/SoulCalibur) Voldo (SoulCalibur) Mr. Game & Watch, Piranha Plant or Steve/Alex (Super Smash Bros.) Chandelure (Pokken Tournament) Any cast from ClayFighter
I would recommend taking a look at Holeman from Slap Happy Rhythm Busters. Also, most to the characters from the Goketsuji Clan/Power Instinct series. Oh, also Mauru & Migi from Waku Waku 7; also Fernandez; and Bonus-kun form Galaxy Fight and Waku 7. *snaps* Mondu from Tongue of the Fatman Kira Daidouji and Eko form the Arcana Heart series. You should also look into Arm Joe. There was that one character that was a Japanese comedian in one of the Marvel vs. Capcom games that I think was replaced by Vega (matador) in the West.
Were you excluding characters from your "Ridiculous Characters in Fighting Game History"-series or why are we seeing Elphelt over my boy Bridget? Oh and thanks for reminding me of Blitztank. Man Blitztank 1v1s with friends are some of the dumbest, yet most, fun I've had with FGs
@@rooflemonger Nhaaaa dude, champaign bottles, bouquets and pink guns are all fine and dandy but being mauled by a buzzsaw-teddybear that can alternatively ride a bicycle and roadkill you? That's the good stuff, but I don't make the rules either haha good list though, I was NOT ready for Hornet
I'm surprised Zappa from GGXXAC isn't on here, but I think it makes sense; it seems like "weirdness" in this context is when your reaction is "how the fuck did anyone think of this?" whereas IMO Zappa is "ok no this is brilliant, loser who is possessed by ghosts"
I’m surprised that we did not get one little girl riding a large plushie creature character. Like Marurun (Waka Waka 7) or Eko (Arcana Hearts 3). What’s up with those characters?
Before I watch this I'm gonna predict a few Elphelt: well duh she's in the thumbnail but also abusive waifu Twelve: I still don't exactly know wtf is going on there in all honesty Arakune: bug ghost Kuma/panda: they're freakin bears I mean come on Yoshimitsu: again I'm not even sure. Like a demon cyborg...thing? Petshop: a bird that was so broken and OP it's been banned out of tournaments Mr game & watch/pirhana plant: probably not weird enough for this list but odd choices for the massive roster of smash Eliana: THERES A SNAKE IN MY MECH Edit: I've clearly not played enough of these games haha
Bedman, the car and tank are like the only weird characters on this list. The rest are literally just people using slightly unfitting fighting styles or wearing a silly outfit. Less weird than shooting fireballs from your hands. Less weird than Ryu.
I wish for Hinako to return in KOF XV, that'd be a dream come true. KOF '00 is in my top 3 King of Fighters games namely because of the introduction of Hinako, Seth, & Lin. Also,, Hakan needs to return in Street Fighter VI - he was one of the best new characters from SF IV(along with Decapre).
honestly... hinako is my favorite sumo character, only because shes not typical for the archetype ( I mean as typical as sumo wrestlers are suppose to be). And has a kickass sumo moveset, nice slap sounds, great lookin shorthop and hope she comes back.
Maybe we’re all just used to him because he’s a series mainstay, but I think Faust from Guilty Gear deserves to be in the conversation. He’s a 9 foot tall surgeon with a paper bag over his head, his idle stance is a ridiculous crouch, he swims through the air, uses a giant scalpel like a pogo stick, uses a magic doorframe to teleport, gives his opponent unsolicited plastic surgery, and always plays smash bros with items turned on.
Haha, I remember Hornet as a kid... It was a car... fighting... It was so fun and sick !!! Blitztank, such fun in 2007 with Akatsuki ! What a concept ! As for the list, I agree with you. I'd add Zappa instead of Elphelt, I guess... Still terrified to this day by... You know, Sadako ! 🤭🤣
