Top Ten Sorcerers in Fighting Games
Vložit

- Magic is a major factor in many types of fiction, which includes fighting games. I’ll be taking a look at the many sorcerers seen in fighting games (also known as magicians, mages, paladins, spellcasters, etc). These characters simply have to have the title of sorcerer (or any synonym) or have a moveset heavily based around magic, either specified or unspecified. A nice backstory also helps out, along with unique abilities that not just any run-of-the-mill mage can possess.

I was waiting for this one!
Thanks for including Dr. Strange and Tessa, two of my favorite characters in any fighting game! Seeing that my sister was involved in the production gives me a feeling of pride.
Glad to hear it! She helps a lot with cutting footage, so it's always a pleasure when she helps out.
"Amplifying pain" is part of Raven's non magical abilities, namely her empathic abilities. It does sound weird but she really does this in the comics. She can send the entire world's pain, torment, and agony into one single person to cause heavy emotional/mental trauma. She can even simulate the feeling of death to a person and actually kill her target through the feeling and sensation alone. Of course, she can also heal a person by absorbing their pain and speeding up the healing process. Her empathic abilities are one of her most used powers in the comics at least in the classic ones, aside from her Soul Self (A form of Astral Projection that usually looks like a raven hence the raven themed visuals of her powers).
The ravens appearing in her abilities is possibly her Soul Self manifesting that way since she can utilize and weaponize her soul however she likes such as teleportation, projectiles, protection, etc. All of these will take the form of a raven since that's probably what the demon part of her soul looks like.
Top 10 dinosaurs in fighting games
...Do dragons count?
I made myself sick even saying that about my brethren...we are far more advanced than dinosaurs.
Top 10 GODS in Fighting Games!
YEAH
This is a great suggestion!
Top 1 Raiden
Since we have characters that originated from other sources here, I nominate Kefka from Dissidia
Scarlet Crow Thank you!
I loved the Rose, Tessa/Tabasa and Dr. Strange segments.
Dude, I thought you meant the thumbnail and got bamboozled.
Honerable mentions for Dorothy (Arcana Heart) and Hilda (UNIST).
Tessa from Red Earth and SNK vs Capcom (SVC Chaos) gets slept on. Where are my OGs that remember her?
🤚
RoscoDante ⌈The Fighting Game Narrator⌋ Hell yeah, Red Earth was ahead of its time.
If MVC 4 becomes a thing, I hope she’s playable.
I consider her more of a alchemist than a sorceress.
🤚 Also Mars People.
I miss you list's !!
Glad to see you back! I try to stay consistent with uploads. I last uploaded a list two weeks ago, so that's usually the gap between uploads (with the occasional non-list replacing a week's upload).
The footage all looked great. I liked JM's stealth cameo.
Stealth mode, initiate!
Top 10 demons/devils in fighting games.
number 1: Dante from MvC 3.
Do top 10 self taught fighters in fighting games...
Patchouli knowledge from touhou scarlet weather rapsody is also an awesome sorcerer fighter.
Also Marisa kirisame from touhou scarlet weather and antinomy of common flowers. She is a clasical western witch who uses broom, potions light based spells and a kamehame ha made of love coloured magic.
Shang deserves his spot!
Even ignoring my love for the series, it's hard to deny his impact in fighting games! Plus, who doesn't love a soul stealer and shapeshifter!
@@MrTopTenList I'm glad you made this list. I played with almost all of them at one point.
One of my favorite fighting game characters is SYN _(yes, spelled with all capitals)_ from the eponymous title, 'Cardinal SYN'. In addition to beating the crap out of people with a gem-encrusted scepter and a shield shaped like a dragon's head, she can also fire out energy bolts, send waves of magic out along the floor, and her stage also incorporates bits of her magical ability as the main hazard in her stage is a trio of swords that float above a fiery cauldron and spiral out to attack anyone that comes close to them...
...oh, and as the final (human) character in the arcade mode, she transforms into a 50-foot-tall dragon named KRON who becomes the *_real_* final boss.
I found the music a bit obnoxious and that set this video down a few points for me. Sorry.
I had too much Trigon for breakfast once. It gave me a tummy ache.
Tummy ache huh? That kinda reminds me that we should think of making anime and/or game related top 10 lists that involve aches, pains and even death. What do you think?

Thanks!
How about a Top 10 "Eco Warriors" in Fighting Games some time? It's a pretty broad topic, as there could be people ranging from characters like _Injustice 2's_ Poison Ivy who literally fights for plants and nature to characters like Nakoruru from _SamSho_ or Zarina from _King of Fighters_ (and _SNK Heroines)._ You could focus on the animals part, or the nature part, or find someone who's generally anti-technology, and anything in-between. Not to mention, there's always Captain Planet from _Cartoon Network Punch Time Explosion_ :) Seems like it might be a topic that has some potential...
I liked this list - especially the addition of Tessa from _Red Earth_ as I was only familiar with her from _Pocket Fighter_ and thought she was an original character for that game until seeing this - but I kinda wish Taria from _MACE: The Dark Age_ made it in as an honorable mention, at least. JUST because her finishing move involved using magic to turn her opponent into a chicken (czcams.com/video/o_6Lqc0mDew/video.html )! Which is, as I think we all can agree on, the best and most responsible use of dark magic :)
Thanks! I forgot about Mace. Good thinking. The plant-based idea seems pretty likely eventually since I would like to cover each major element in fighting games. I did a list primarily on characters that fight with roses some time back, but there's a pretty big difference between that and actual nature-elemental fighters.
Top ten scientists or inventors in fighting games?

So Rose is basically Lisa Lisa from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. Nice to know.
She actually was based on Lisa Lisa, so it's more intentional that we are led to believe.
Hamon is basically sunlight magic.
Top 10 _______ in Fighting Games
• Psychopaths

There's a lot of good potential here!
I want knights most
@@Luna19912 That idea has been getting some attention recently, so it may be more likely for the future!
Yo nice ass list my dude maybe robots and cyborgs would be a good list too
@@leandrohernandez4557 I actually did those topics back in 2017 with my old mic. Check them out!
Robots in Fighting Games: czcams.com/video/AH2nn7Iw38o/video.html
Cyborgs in Fighting Games: czcams.com/video/Q5CJSPOT4YA/video.html
If I remember correctly, M. Bison had to expel his "good side" to fully achieve psycho-power. In doing so, Rose was created & her power came from purity of spirit. In the movie SF: Legend of Chun Li, Rose was portrayed as Bison's daughter... aww, symbolism. Also, another great list!😎👍
No point in ever referencing Hollywood films in anything related to game adaptation. *_None of them_* do it right. Look up King of Fighters movie for one of the most ridiculously bullshitted movies based on a fighting game, and I still hate how they did the first Street Fighter movie and that was better. Dead or Alive? Almost, but entering eagle claw stance for every character was... wrong.
Wow! Fighting game magic users sure are fascinating! Plus Tessa kinda reminds me of both I-No from Guilty Gear and Yasuzumi Yoriko from Arcana Heart in various ways don't you think?
She was pretty much Nine the Phantom before Nine the Phantom...with some Yoriko mixed in.

@@sachainkumaravelan2356 Kan-Ra is a great character too! Don't see many Trap/Grappler characters in fighting games. Pretty much the whole cast is Amazing. Hopefully if Microsoft ever makes a follow-up game they come up with even more crazy character combos.

Thank you soooo much for making this list, and sorry for being a jerk before, I had to undergo a surgery so I was scared and very moody.
I had the feeling that I was going to die and that I would never had the chance of seeign this top 10 wich to be fair wasn't such a huge deal but it was important to me.
Of curse I didn't die, in fact the surgury was soo low risk that I was never in danger in the first place, so I wanted to say thank you and also I am sorry, please keep with your amazing work!
Also I would like to add some honorable mentions in no particular order:
-Parace L'sia, pretty much everyone is arcana heart uses magic tho, but she is the one who uses it the most.
-Shantoto, Terra and half of the bad guys on Final Fantasy Dissidia.
-Beatrice from Umineko: Golden Fantasia
-Almost everybody from Antinomy of Common Flowers, but for name someone, Marisa Kirisame
-Platinum the Trinity from blazblue
-Shiba Miyuki from Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax
-Most of the cast of Magical Battle Arena
-Caster, Rin and Luvia from Fate/Unlimited Code
-Melty Du Granite and Rinna Mayfield from Blade Arcus Rebellion from Shining
-Watson from battle fantasia
Thanks for suggesting it! I didn't see you ever being a jerk. Plenty of people suggest a video topic multiple times, so it's pretty common. You weren't ever being negative or putting down any videos, so a regular comment suggestion is fine with me! Glad to hear your surgery went well
Top 10 sorcerers For me:
1 - Shang Tsung
2 - Xavier (Eternal Champions)
3 - Tessa
4 - Quan Chi
5 - Amakusa
6 - Taria (Mace: The Dark Age)
7 - Dhalsim
8 - Wrath (Slam masters)
9 - I-No
10 - Rose
Honorable mentions: Zatanna, Dr.Fate, Dr.Strange, Donovan and Hsien-Ko assistant, Nightwolf and Sindel
Disonorable mention: Rasputin
Dhalsim isn't really a sorcerer, magician, etc.
@@siunmadness5009 Dhalsim fell into my definition of sorcerer.
He feels presence, if someone is evil or good and etc...Even if this is a standard for a World Warrior, this still aquire knowledge about the situation and teleports.
He was a monk who managed to attain powers, and he knows archaic medicine like any sorcerer.
To me he is clearly a sorcerer, if not I could take the Wrath from the list because it is so only that acquired powers of the Makai world with demons.
Hi you like Mortal Kombat, you do know that Bo Ran Chi is a farter right?
Bo Rai Cho you mean?
Borracho is the Spanish word for drunk
You mean Bo Rai Cho? HIs name is like "drunk" in Spanish, borracho.

Nine from Blazblue is my favorite.
@@jinkisaragi2584 Bruh, her moveset is unique and diverse. She's also top tier.
Me too, she rocks! She may not have been born with unique power like her young sister but she learned most magical arts, intelligent in science, elegant and she is so amusing, I find sad that when her sister was born her mother died when she was like only 3 years old or 4...
Nice list!!!

Already know who #1 but I still watch this
5:11 in both amy and viola's bio it does tell how she turned from red to gray. Its apart of her illness/vampire esk thing amy had plus the amnesha thing.
I love this segment, and got me want to see more of your content, and see if you are one of the few people who talk and give Rachel Alucard credit. None the less awesome job.

why didn't I get a notification and why were half of my comments deleteD!??
Unfortunately, I can't control when either of those happen. CZcams's notification system has not been informing my subscribers based on some algorithm if it thinks think viewers won't be interested in a video and CZcams bots have been deleting comments without my knowledge. Sometimes, I'm also notified of a comment, but it doesn't actually appear on the video. I never delete normal comments, so I can't give you a reason. What videos were the comments left on and was were the comments saying? I saw 3 or 4 comments by you on my previous video, so it's possible CZcams bots detected more of them as spam. When some viewers have left many comments on a single video, they don't show up, not even in my spam folder. I've been talking with viewers that this has happened to in order to find out if there's a consistent theme to when comments get deleted and that was one instance of when that happens. If you see a comment missing, try to leave it again since I hate to see viewers unintentionally silenced. Plus, comments help out the video since it notifies the algorithm to share the video more!
@@MrTopTenList I left 7 comments on Cheerleaders . Will #Gamefarts ith Software happen?
Hmm, only 4 showed up and I only saw 4 from the start, so it appears they were deleted without me even being notified. Sorry to see that happen. We have no plans for that topic as of now, but Software Agents and I have a few interesting videos planned for the future.
@@MrTopTenList what about animefarts with judgement meter?
@@MrTopTenList I am so RELEIVED you replied to me. I thought yo u were ignoring me because you didn't like me., And I would be offended because I'm one of your biggest fan plus I have autism and Aspergers so that would be very offensive to me as a Sperg.

Good list!
Thanks!
He's just a honorable mention, so I would say that the incorrect placing is fine, but Geralt ISN'T a sorceror... Witchers aren't sorcerors. It is very clearly defined within the books upon which the games are modelled, but there is a difference between witchers and wizards.
Yes, Witchers do use magic-like abilities, but they aren't real magic; if anything it's based more on alchemy and shamanism... unless - of course - Soul Calibur decided to "screw this" and just gave him magic powers, but that's a debate for another day ^^'
It makes me happy that I didn't do a full segment on him since I likely would have annoyed fans for the Witcher series with assumption that he's just a different type of wizard since I just know his powers from his likely watered down moveset for Soulcalibur. Thanks for the explanation!
@@MrTopTenList No problem... granted I don't know about water down moveset - never played Soul Calibur itself but Geralt isn't specifically overpowered; he's basically a swordsman with low-key bonus abilities... in a way he's probably much weaker than most of the cast, given that The Witcher book series was sticking to actual fencing moves - no over-the-top evolutions ^^'
And you actually pronounce the G in the name. Many people mess that up. Damn I fucking hate that rule. C's too.
15:55 That just shows the timelessness of the term "cool" when it was invented by beatniks in the '50s and the much more recent term "boss" is considered outdated in comparison.
I never thought about that. The funny thing is, I think "boss" was popular in the 60s at some point too, and then came back in style in the late 2000s with the whole "Like a Boss" meme. I guess ti shows "boss" was never meant to be (and that it'll make a comeback again).
Hell yes! Another awesome top 10 list! Hope the witch from Capcoms WARZARD( REDEARTH) appears on the list!
Because you brought up Capcom several times,. Will there be a Mega Man video later this year MrTopTenList?
I'm hoping the Top 10 Clowns in Fighting Games will happen soon. Or better yet, that list being uploaded on my birthday, this coming August.
12:23 that way you say "Marvel" is funny. Are you from Boston?
I've been told I sound more Jersey than Boston before. Boston accents essentially omit the "r" entirely, making the word sound like "Mahvel." I haven't been told much about having an accent in everyday conversation, so I'm not sure what accent I actually have.

Also Izanami/Saya from Blazblue
Not sure if it counts, but honourable mention to Great Tiger from Punch Out Wii, while being a boxer, he does make use of both a teleport and astral clones in a whirlwind.
"but the real amakusa didnt have magical powers" he didnt do a jojos pose either
2 of these are basically jojos characters
Hey you cant prove that.
Another recommendation, top ten UNDEAD from fighting games. Noob Saibot, Solomon Grundy, Scorpion, any Vampire from Vampire Savior(yea, we know, you don't think that name is cool, DorkStalker) ... I would think there are more ... umm ... yea ... I dunno,I'm not into a ton of the other games you usually cover but dammit ... there are more!
About Shang Tsung, his new fatalities in MK11 are unique in the fact that he does not (directly) kill you, rather summons your killer; Kintaro in your insides in the Shokan Reborn fatality and a pair of Shaolin monk zombies emerging from a pool of lava in the Kondemned to the Damned fatality. The latter denotes he has mastered some degree of necromancy. Oh, and don't forget he also uses that scroll to cause an obese corpse to fall on you and the EX version causes it to explode, dealing decent knockback.
We were about to have a problem if Nine wasn't in this list. She not only has mastery of the elements, she's also a skilled hand to hand fighter and doesn't exactly "exist" in this plane of reality...not to mention she's sexy as hell.
Here's an idea top 10 duo characters in fighting games. A character that is either a two in one sort of deal like the ice climbers for example or a character that heavily utilizes one or multiple partners in their moveset like r mika in street fighter 5.

Ohhhh ohhh check Eternal Champions, Xavier is a Wizard!

I-No from Guilty Gear is one of the most original witches in video games yet she didn't make the list. Hell she was a boss character at one point.
By this point I wonder, How many fighting game characters do use a Crystal Ball as a weapon?
I noticed that trend with this list, too. Not sure if there are enough that warrant a list, but I've underestimated that amount of potential characters for a list before, so it's possible!
Just Amakusa, Viola and Menat.
