  • Entering a fighting tournament is a big decision, since the other fighters will be able to shoot fireballs, shatter your bones like breadsticks or be literally the devil, so you’d better be doing it for a good reason. Unlike the fighters in this video. Subscribe for more like this, why not: www.tinyurl.com/SubToOxbox
    Many of the participants in Street Fighter 4's tournament have good reasons for being there. Abel is an amnesiac, for instance, looking to defeat the surviving members of the evil organisation Shadoloo. Rufus wants to get one over on Ken and prove that he's the strongest fighter in America. And Mexican luchador El Fuerte wants some new recipes. Ok, that one is less good.
    Let's say for the sake of argument that great fighters eat great food, and that the only way to get them to share those recipes is to pummel them unconscious. It turns out, none of that even matters, because El Fuerte is a terrible, terrible chef.
    If only there were some other way of getting better at cooking or finding recipes, but sadly this is the only way. That El Fuerte could think of.

    And here I thought the worst reason to enter a fighting tournament was because Dr. Karate killed my father again.

    Law's situation only gets worse after Tekken 4. His dojo chain also goes under, he becomes a dishwasher, gets deported for working in Japan illegally, and his son causes a huge traffic accident and Marshall has to pay for it.

    • @SeraphSeph
      @SeraphSeph Před 7 lety +26

      SolidSonicTH actually since you win a lot of money the traffic accident is a great reason to fight lol.

    • @SolidSonicTH
      @SolidSonicTH Před 7 lety +20

      Seraph Sephiroth
      Exactly. If his T4 story is bad, then his T5 story makes up for it (despite the fact T5's plot is a lot thinner than T4's in general).
      Personally I thought Law's reasoning wasn't awful in the first place but certainly by 5 the stakes were high enough to justify entering the tournament.

    • @SeraphSeph
      @SeraphSeph Před 7 lety +16

      SolidSonicTH Opening up failing businesses is a bad reason to join a dangerous tournament, maybe if he was creating new businesses it would make sense, but law has been a gag character for a while lol

    @TheRealCodeBlack Před 7 lety +196

    Every fighting game has that one character that's there for no good reason. There's the "want to promote their business/school of martial arts/family" crowd. The "wants to impress the boy/girl of their dreams" crowd. The "thought it was a fun thing to do in between gigs, oblivious to the evil conspiracies" crowd. Etc.
    Then there's Remy from Street Fighter III, who joins an international fighting tournament because he hates fighting, thinks people who fight are horrible, and wants to prove it by... er... fighting a bunch of martial artists who remind him of his deadbeat dad.
    I'm sure it makes sense to him.

    • @The_Isaiahnator
      @The_Isaiahnator Před 6 lety +23

      The first reason is actually a good one. There are plenty of people in real life who fight in order to promote their gym, dojo, family and fighting system. The Gracie "clan" is a prime example. *Edit:* But I know they don't fight in order to stop a cabal of megalomanics hell-bent on world domination/destruction, so you do have a point.

      The weird thing is MK9 reveals he's actually skeptical all of THAT stuff is real (he compliments Baraka on his makeup and costuming but otherwise thinks the blades and teeth are just props) but he himself can throw green energy bolts and doesn't seem to think THAT'S unusual (since he wants to prove his ability to do so isn't just movie magic).
      His story is strange (especially since he's some kind of descendant of an artificial race of meta-humans from the Mediterranean that were created as protectorates for Earth, hence his energy abilities).

    All great choices, except for the Mortal Kombat one. When you have the mystical power to throw green energy balls from your hands, even a behind-the-scenes documentary isn't going to convince the general public that you are a legit martial artist. They are still going to think it's all special effects. That's why Johnny Cage entered the tournament, to prove that his abilities are real against the best fighters in the world, in a legitimate fighting tournament.
    He didn't know that there were would be supernatural opponents in the tournament.

    Actually Outside Xbox, Marshall Law's Restaurant chain was successful. The reason it went downhill was because of a rival chain that was quickly getting more popular and basically drove him out of business. Hardly a terrible idea when you actually look at it that way and far from being a terrible cook (Way better then El Fuerte, who would not get far in "Iron Chef" or one round of "Chopped" with skills that bad).

    I'd like to see a video about "awesomely useful items given to you at the most useless time" like
    a sniper rifle made available right before entering a sewer. The most powerful sword you've ever seen with a level restriction 15 levels higher than you. after grinding through a massive boss fight, you find a weapon 4 seconds later that would have made the fight a breeze.

    Great video, but Stone Cold Steve Austin infiltrating Al Queda is a fairly decent amazingly brilliant idea.

    Most fighting characters go to tournaments for ridiculous reasons. I like this list still, good job sir

    You think that's bad? Ibuki's motivation in Street Fighter IV was to fight just to literally just to chase guys,hell Yun's no better in the same damn game Yun just joined just because he has a crush on Chun-Li which drags in Yang in to try and keep Yun out of trouble...how much weed has Capcom been smoking?

    Too bad it's specifically a list for videogames because my favorite "dumb reason for entering a fighting tournament" is from the original Dragon Ball. In a world with seemingly endless gadgets and resources, a guy enters a fighting tournament for the money to buy water for his village, which is facing a horrible drought. Why is this dumb? BECAUSE THERE'S TONS OF CLEAN WATER WHERE THE TOURNAMENT IS BEING HELD AND ALL HE ENDS UP HAVING TO DO IS GRAB A FEW CAPSULES, FIT SOME WATER TANKS IN THEM, AND LEAVE.

    Skullomania is based on Skullman, the Proto Kamen Rider #1. He even had Kamen Rider#1's henshin belt.
