  • I've covered the more questionable decisions for guest characters in fighting games in the past, but let's look at the other end of the spectrum. What about those guest that were slam dunks of a pick? I covered this topic in many years ago, but so much has changed about the fighting game landscape since then that I wanted to cover everything new with fighting game guests. Any guest characters released after the previous video are all fair game!

    What I really like about the Tmnts being in injustice 2 is that you can pick which turtle you want by changing the costume in the options and the moves vary... *chef's kiss*

      Especially since they all had 1-2 similar moves and then a unique special button and 2-3 character exclusive moves that made them feel like a unit, but also give them each a unique personality

      Geese is the replacement, not Eliza. That whole air fireball was mapped for Morrigan, but eventually they scrap and use it for Geese. Eliza was never the Morrigan's replacement, instead Eliza was Tekken's first attempt to create "2D style projectile" character way back before 2013, you know the time of both Namco and Capcom try to execute SF and Tekken crossover. Eliza then debut in Tekken Revolution back in 2013 and then return back in Tekken 7

    • @MrTopTenList
      @MrTopTenList  Před 4 měsíci +3

      That's what inspired me to make the list. When I covered the topic in 2016, it was really just Soulcalibur and Mortal Kombat doing guests consistently that felt like they belonged in the game's universe. Otherwise, recent and older guests just felt like jokes or characters that were available, but not really relevant to the game (Street Fighter X Tekken's guests come to mind). However, ever since, Tekken, SamSho, DOA, and more games have consistently given us well-made guests. Even if some were a bit weird, like Negan in Tekken 7, they movesets felt very appropriate for the games.

    Rival Schools/Project Justice was considered part of the SF Universe from inception; you seem to be implying that it's separate or not part of the SF Universe several times in your script and that's not true. It's exactly like Final Fight, and several Rival Schools characters are canonically classmates and acquaintances of Sakura.

I don’t think they’ll be able to top TMNT & I love spawn in Mk11 but I think he should have been saved for MK1 would have loved to of seen his gameplay in MK1 with aerial attacks from his cape or something I feel like not enough of his cape was in his moveset + MK11s very monotonous gameplay didn’t do much for spawn BUT I still love him!

    Smash Bros Brawl added to guest characters from other companies, Sonic and Solid Snake
    Then the 3ds version added Cloud!
    And Smash Bros Ultimate added: Steve from Minecraft, Banjoe and Kazooie, The protagonist from the Persona series and from Kingdom Hearts. And possibly some more I am forgetting right now. But it also added terry Bogard, Ryu and Ken.
    From that list you just referenced Terry being in Smash but nobody else.
    None of the above characters belong to the corresponding universe of that time.

    It would be really cool to eventually see Samurai Warriors or Sengoku Basara characters in Soul Calibur. Soul Calibur takes place at the same time as the Sengoku Jidai, which is what Samurai Warriors and Sengoku Basara are all about, and some historical figures who are playable in the SW and SB series are mentioned in Soul Calibur, such as Oda Nobunaga being the reason for Yoshimitsu's journey, and I know that at least Shimazu Yoshihiro was mentioned in SC6's Libra of Souls mode. Soul Calibur characters making it into Samurai Warriors for a hypothetical story or at least being Free Mode or other side mode-exclusive would also be cool to see at least for the novelty value.
    Not having played much Sengoku Basara, however, I'm not sure how the Soul Calibur characters would be able to fit into that series. I at least know that 3 had a more open-ended and hypothetical-based story structure in that you decide which battle comes next and had some secrets such as unlocking Akechi Mitsuhide and Oda Nobunaga, so Soul Calibur characters would at least be able to fit in a game with that kind of structure some.
    I also thought of that an Onimusha crossover on either side would be great, too.

    Of all the fighting game developers, Neatherrealms undoubtedly has the best guest fighters, and most of them (minus the inclusion of 3 Mortal Kombatants in Injustice 1&2) have all fit in really well with my personal favorites being Spawn, Freddy Kruger, Alien, Hellboy, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Namco might be a close 2nd in which though there are some guests that I didn't care for such as Noctus and Starkiller (sorry dudes), majority of them I like such as Gon, Akuma, and Geese Howard for Tekken, and on the Soul Calibur side, Spawn, Kratos, Darth Vader, Yoda, and Link just to name a few. Speaking of Link, I also like the majority of Super Smash Bros Ultimate guests such as Banjo-Kazooie and Simon Belmont. And most recently, I absolutely love Godzilla and Ultraman in the indie kaiju fighting game, Gigabash.
    Unfortunately, I can't give the same praise to SNK and instead ridicule them for picking some of the worst guest characters in history. With the exception of Hibiki and Baiken, the rest for Samurai Shodown are hot garbage and ruined the game for me and why i stopped playing it. Nobody wants lame characters in this game like The Warden and Gongsun Li (bunnygirl), but SNK themselves just to shamefully force product placement into every person's face. There are plenty of original fighters such as Gen-An, Nicotine, Siegar, and Zankuro that people actually wanted in the game that SNK chose to ignore and carelessly push aside. Worse, there are plenty of better guests such as Afro Samurai, Guts, Conan the Barbarian, and Lady Snowblood who would have fit the game so much better. But no, the idoits at SNK chose a dumbass knight and stupid bunny waifu. Because of this, I am not getting my hopes up for Fatal Fury City of the Wolves, as I'm worried that SNK is planning on vomiting more crappy online multi-player or mobile game guest characters from Call of Duty, Fortnite, For Honor, Apex Legends, Overwatch, League of Legends, Raid Shadow Legends, and a Chinese mobile MMORPG game.

    I have headcanon (and may as well be) that Tekken implies that the Satsui-no-Hado is the devil gene. Akuma references a debt to Kazumi, but what was it? I think he trained so hard that he pushed his body's limits and almost died. Somehow, Kazumi found him and offered him the power he was looking for, albeit one that strips a person of their humanity and only lust for more.
    But man, I love SC6 so much. I do CPUvCPU matches for my custom characters more than I do actual play lol. You can literally make your own Witcher, even YoRHa android if that's your thing lol. I've made some pretty decent characters like John Wick and Johnny Silverhand (an armor piece that's just one metal arm inspired me) with convincing Keanu voices.
    I even made Deadpool, based on the 4th-wall breaking character voice that sounds almost like Nolan North. It's almost like they wanted people to make DP, but it took some serious creativity to give him a convincing hood. Plus he only looks good with Maxi's style, because its hyper lol.

    When I was young, seeing Link in Soul Calibur II was beyond epic, like a real life changing moment coming from being a fan of the first game. The music, the voice acting, it was Link from Ocarina of Time with all his weapons available. In my opinion it's still the greatest crossover in any fighting game. Nowadays is quite common to expect these collaborations and to see them teased and leaked. Not diminishing the value of today's standards since a lot them are made with huge amounts of respect to the source material. But at that point Link from The Legend of Zelda was gaming's biggest icon. The only other one that comes to mind was when Solid Snake was confirmed for Brawl (in the context that guest characters were not as common as they are today). My favorite modern guest character has to be Predator in MKX, he just fits. My wish for future guests would be the Power Rangers in Injustice 3, or a KOF character in SF6.

      KI 2013 is a great game! Rash appeared on my Questionable Guest List (which was praising him for his playstyle and breaking the 4th wall. Questionable was not a bad thing for that video) and Arbiter was on the Fitting Guest Character video 2016, so he was released before the start date of eligible guests. Only RAAM was eligible for this list, who I thought was a weaker guest than the other guys. However, I still think he bird mechanic was cool and probably could've made the list if I needed one more character.
