Top Ten Taekwondo Fighting Game Characters 

As someone who has been practicing Taekwondo for 22 years now I am happy to see this video. Yes some characters take the kicking idea way to far, these are video game characters haha. This brought a big smile to my face. Thank you MrTopTenList

As a Korean I can confirm that your "Hwoarang" pronounciation is on point!

Hwoarang has been my favorite ever since Tekken 3. Didn't know his fighting style back then, but his number of stances and flashy attitude just felt so awesome.

Top 10 street brawlers, those who fight without a style, just pure instinct.

Hwoarang my favorite fighting game character of all time ❤️

I initially thought Juri was scary, but then someone thought Juri would be my favorite character, so I looked into her. Now she's one of my favorites (no one can topple our queen, Poison, on my list though). Juri just needs some friends to hang out with to do things that don't involve fighting and I'm sure she'd become an upstanding citizen. Also, Street Fighter 4 Juri outfit > Street Fighter 5 Juri outfit

Top ten most edgiest characters in fighting games

The Kim Kapwhan nepotism is strong.

Taekkyon, my friend. Is the original Korean martial art, that's how Yun-Seung can get a pass with his crazy kicks.

I would love to see Top 10 Ba Ji Quan Fighting Game Characters (Kokoro from DOA, Leo from Tekken, Yun & Yang from SF, etc..)

You should make a video about top 10 fighting game characters from different games and genres, Examples: Cody and Guy from Final Fight to Street Fighter, Ralf Jones and Clark Steel from Ikari Warriors to King of Fighters etc.

Kim should have been number one just for being the very first take Kwon do character in a fighting game. He is the father of that style in games. Overall good list though

My boy Hwoarang is #1! Definitely one of my favorite Tekken characters to play, even though I have no clue how to pronounce his name P.S. Great list! How about a top ten of Mixed/Unique martial artists?

Taekwondo is such a beautiful fighting style. It's like ballet, except you're hitting people.

Not only howarang is one of the best taekwondo he knows a lot of language

SNK loves The Kwon Do and Kim Kaphwan experience Justice and Foot...wait this is the Foot Clan!?!?!...hold up...

Thank you SO much for this. Requested it about 6 months ago. Was worth the wait 😁👍

Another list from Mr Top Ten?? Today is going to be a good day.

Very informative and comprehensive. I like how the footage of KoF, SFIV and Tekken was implemented.

*See's Howarang 1st* Me: I see you're a man of culture as well.👌

You forgot to mention that Hwoarang is based in the movements of ITF Taekwon-Do master Hwang Su Il

As a TKD practioner, I am happy that the art gets more recognition

Juri was my main....until she ripped the wings of my other main.. Still main her tho.

Some of the craziest taekwondo moves I’ve seen in a video game was in Urban Reign, there is this character names Dae Suk Park. He would have easily cracked the top 3 of this list.

- I was expecting Kim Kaphwan to be top 1 since he is the first person who introduces Korea and taekwondo to the world of fighting game; but oh well Hwoarang isn't so bad to be put at top 1. - and Speaking of Hwoarang, you said his name right don't worry. - Since Yunseong's kicking style predates the origins of taekwondo, his fighting style was probably called Taekyon an another kick-oriented korean martial art that taekwondo was based on. one more thing: now that you said about it about Juri, she was more of the female Vegeta of Street Fighter... Just sayin'

Top 10 Kempo fighting game characters.

I've always much preferred Baek and his discipline over Hwarang and his variety. While I do really like Kim, (he is my number 2) Baek is still my number 1 favorite Taekwondo-styled fighter. It's precisely because of his disciplined and measured approach as well as his overall demeanor that makes me like him so much. You can tell that he takes his martial art seriously and that he is equally earnest in all things. Some might find him too stoic and dour, but I like to think it adds to his charm lol

"I cant control it!!"🤣😂 tht was epic n caught me off guard

Hwoarang is that dude. He's been my favorite Tekken character since Tekken 3. I'm unstoppable with this guy.

I feel like Kim should've been number 1 but I still respect your choice none the less. Great list 🖒

I like how Baek's costume mixes the ITF and WTF dobok styles, although since he uses his hands more, I tend to see him as mostly an ITF man.

Technically Rig is more neutral-good as it was revealed he was Donavan's kid and helped his villainous father at the start of the final-half of DOA5's main-plot until Kasumi helped him go back to the side of good.

Top Ten Characters That Didn't Skip Leg Day

Good video bro. Nice bit of comedy and clips that were put together very well. Nice work

Kim Kaphwan will always be the number 1 Taekwondo video game fighter in my opinion. 😀 Wow. You've done an excellent job with explaining the history of each Taekwondo character. Thank you. ✌🏼

Amazing video Dude!

I enjoyed this video so much. Thank you very much.

I have to say I really appreciate this video I also studied taekwondo as a kid for about 2 1/2 years or so until I was forced to quit because my instructor moved to a different state and took his business with him After he moved away I tried out a few other places but it didn’t feel the same then I was offered a chance to train with Jason David Frank a.k.a. the green and white power ranger from the original series because he had opened a studio in the town I happens to be living in but for whatever reason I turned it down to think I could’ve become a Power Ranger and I threw it all away

This is an accurate list and very well presented. Kudos sir!

i was expecting kim to be at the top but im really satisfied with hwoarang being #1. i always loved his character design and personality

Moo Duk Kwan Taekwondo here! And one video game TKD practicioner you forgot was Kou Leifou, from the Bouncer. ^_^ PS: I've always preferred Baek Doo San over Hwoarang. Plus they both share the "Hunting Hawk" aerial kick combo.

Time for your top ten kung fu fighting game characters list👍🏾(should probably be more like top 15 or 20)

Here's an idea do top 10 duo characters in fighting games like for example the ice climbers, rosalina and luma, noob and smoke.

Inb4 Reiji the Crow from Bloody Roar 4 is missed. "DIDN'T EVEN TOUCH MEH!"

As someone who learned tae Kwon do a long time ago, I needed to check this out

You have great vids just awsome! Can you do one about top ten military based style fighters?

I lost it at that Phoenix quip "I can't control it!"

for yunseng. There was a fighting style called soo bak. that was practiced in the silla court by the hwa rang, who were kind of korean Buddhist knights, and the origin of that tekken fighter's name. while in reality its likely that japans occupation of Korea likely influenced Korean martial arts, as shotokan forms look VERY similar to tang soo do forms(tsd is basically tkd with some political infighting) a lot of Korean masters tend to point to soo bak as the progenitor of tae kwon. (and yes, i am a cho-dan in tsd, so its a topic im big on researching)

Was hoping May Lee was here, so I'm happy :D _But_ I'm also a little bummed Chae Lim from KOF 2006/Max Impact 2 didn't get her due - I feel like I'm the only one who remembers her. I *guess* I get it since SNK sort of saturated the taekwondo characters, but she's just one of my favorite character designs in KOF. Don't know how she looks in Max Impact 1, but 2006's alt outfit and palette swap options have some excellent designs that make her look super badass. I admit though, it isn't as good as the evil Gulla Gulla Frog from May Lee's shirt though, lol. This was a real funny video, btw! Nice cameo by the Justice Fruit Pies at 1:37, and the "Did you know that all teachers in the DOA universe are named _school?"_ line was hilarious. This was a great one! Y'know, since you're such a Fighting Game Fan, have you ever done a Top Ten Cancelled (but promising) Fighting Games list? That could be neat - there's so many! Location tested-but-never-released arcade titles like Atari-Midway's Tenth Degree, Dimps' Atomiswave Kenju, Sammy's Atomiswave Force Five... unreleased console titles like Burning Fist Force Striker and Thrill Kill.... failed Kickstarter titles like Beast's Fury and Super Combat Fighter... unfinished mysteries like Dragon Heaven, Killing Bites and Capcom Fighting All-Stars... random titles like Double Helix's Justice League, WWE Brawl or EA Chicago's MARVEL... and of course, well-known stuff like Primal Rage 2 and Thrill Kill. Seriously, there's A LOT to look at, with a lot of interesting stories behind 'em too. It would require some extra research maybe (unless you're weird like me and eat up this info thanks to places like unseen64 and various RU-vid channels dedicated to cancelled games), and it would absolutely be *super* subjective, but a lot of these games do have a ton of media and footage floating around out there, if not dumped ROMs, and it could definitely be an interesting & fun list to put together sometime :)

Honestly, I can be fine with Juri taking the bronze, she'll always be golden in my heart. Also! She's Korean which is another layer to her mirroring Chun-Li!

Cool list

Kim is the first tk character in fighting games. All other tk characters are based on kim. He is also the most fleshed out character on this list. I think he deserves to be #1. I would have def put hworang 2nd though, he is pretty cool

Jhun is My favorite From Those, he's Really Hard to Play Though

YEEEEAAH!!! NICE!!! I would put Rig on top 3 or 4. after Hwoarang, Kim and Baek. But nice list!! I loved it!!

I only ever played so much of the KoF series, but it never occurred to me just how far reaching of an influence Good Guy Kim has on the series. Go figure, pretty much every Tae Kwon Do fighter in that series exists because at some point they were trained by Kim. =p

Awesome that you have the top 10 Taekwondo fighters in fighting games, but could you please add top ten Karate fighters in video games when you get the chance? I'm speaking as a Karate practitioner myself!

Love the video this is awesome btw you forgot to mention chae lim from kof maximum impact

Hwoarang: YOU ARE GOING TO GET WHAT IS COMING TO YOU! YOU ARE GOING TO TASTE THE FLOOR WITH THIS ONE! 18:38

Do top 10 karate fighting game charater

I think Hwang from SoulCalibur could’ve been mentioned if Yun Seong made the list...I think of it like this Hwang=Baek Yun Seong=Hworang

Cool stuff. Have you done one on best representation of martial arts in general? I'd also enjoy one about boxing characters. We can see some killer instinct on the list.

Juri is my main! (Recently Chun li is tied because I finally got her moveset to work), but I recognized that Kim is better because he us an actual master and has taught others. So when he wasn't number 1, I was about to rage, until you made sense and I respect the list.

Top ten characters with the most badass movesets

Jenny the bat deserved at least a honorable mention. ..

Glad you covered my favorite Street Fighter girl

Kim, Hwoarang, and Juri-li my favorites taekwondo characters

holly shit man u took me back with this vid ... mark of the wolves . that arcade machine ate so much of my lunch money

Nice vid can you make a list about fighting games characters who are mutants

Juri has some outstanding qualities to her character, but as probably most would know, she's just .. well.. in D&D levels, more like neutral evil. She's not bad bad bad, she has her strong points and good reasons, but.. can't let those out else it'll spell trouble. The one thing that I would like to point out about her is that she's pretty much resonate with a lot of people, she's taking on a much bigger picture on her own and do it that way instead of involving others, because "too many cooks spoil the broth". How many people can really relate to this, even on a smaller scale? Kim's twin sons however.. I will give more credential points to Jae since he really took his father's teachings very seriously.

Plz do top ten characters that do Astral projection in anime comics and video game with Judgement Meter as Lady Longneck

I got a video request can you do the top 10 sexiest female fighting game characters And the top 10 most stylish video game characters

I think Baek was blackmailed into destroying Law's Dojo rather than defeating Law, because Law's reason for joining Tekken 2 is to avenge his dojo and students from this assailant (Baek) and he did successfully avenged them according to the canon story of tekken 2.

2:04 I was today years old when I learned this about Lee May and I've played KOF for some years now.

Gotta love the JFSR of hwoaranag

Top 10 bruce lee characters,secret selectable characters,drunken fist characters,& character rivalries in fighting games.also weapon users in hand to hand fighting games like vega from street fighter or yoshimitsu from tekken

Yun Seong would actually fight Tae-Kyon, which originated Taekwondo and was practiced since before 50 B.C.

Top Ten Non playable characters in Fighting games; characters that have appeared in the story, endings or lore of the games but have not been made playable. Another option would be Top Ten Non Player Characters in Fighting Games that should be playable. I think one of these would make a cool list.

We need a Top 10 Mix Martial Artist in Fighting Games.

Thank you so much for this vid! I always play TKD characters cause they usually have a lot of flare. I've practiced TKD most of my life so I'm a bit biased. And you did pronounce Hwoarang well, but TaeKwonDo is pronounced "teH" not "thai". I think it's a common thing, but just think of how Baek is pronounced, same vowel pattern. Great vid again and Wild Ambition is my favorite rendition of KimKapKwan

Hwoarang will always be the number 1 Taekwondo video game fighter in my opinion. 😀 Wow. You've done an excellent job with explaining the history of each Taekwondo character. Thank you. ✌🏼

young seoun uses more likely taekkyon, that is a predecessor in some way of taekwondo.

Can u do more different fighting styles in video games

most satisfying list i've ever seen. i though you're gonna put Juri in first place and thank God she wasn't there. Hwoarang deserves number 1 for me. No fancy projectiles just pure moves.

Have you done a top 10 nunchuck user or pole staff users or axe users

My favorite taekwondo character is kim kaphwan of the fatal fury series

I had a feeling you would do a top ten kicker after watching which characters should be in the next kof

Do top 10 gun users in fighting games

PLS DO TOP 10 SOLDIERS IN FIGHTING GAMES PLS

How about top Scientists, Doctors, or Engineers in fighting games🤔❓

Nice list. Maybe Kim Sue Il at honorable mentions too?

Top Ten Knights in Fighting Games please.

Got any plans to cover other martial arts disciplines in future videos such as Kung Fu, Jeet Kune Do, or Judo?

I did taekwondo for a long time this i still prefer boxing and wreslting but i started in tkd this is awesome

Think you could possibly do tonfa fighters in the future?

CAN YOU PLEASE DO A TOP 10 KUNG FU OR JIU JITSU CHARACTERS IN FIGHTING GAMES?

An honorable you could have included (perhaps loosely) is Jenny from Bloody Roar 2. And since you used Yunsung from Soul Calibur, I'm surprised that you didn't mention Hwang Sung Kyung from SoulEdge (SoulBlade for PlayStation).

Tekken characters always getting number one spot, that's how good the characters are, they're unique, and always well detailed, and their stories are actually good, compared to other characters from other games.

Johnny Cage also uses a lot of TKD moves in Mk11

Since both Kim's sons became playable characters I had an idea - Top Ten Parents in fighting games? Extra points for fighters who appear in the same game as their kids......Geese and Rock Howard, Jonny/Cassie Cage, Raphael/Amy, plus the all the parents in Tekken ect.....

I'm not sure if it's been done... But I would like to request Top Ten Gymnast in Fighting Game please~
