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*

Fun fact: Harada came close to getting Morrigan in Tekken 7. Tekken devs had Morrigan's move set mapped out and, while it's not confirmed, Eliza is the replacement.

"The move where he does a flip" I love this guy. So wholesome

Akuma and Heihachi, two iconic sinister and fearsome fighters feuding in Tekken seemed pretty great

Mai doesn't just work but she was the inspiration for the physics in the series. Just unbelievably apt.

Baoh's narration is indeed a nameless narrator as a reference to how the manga had a narrator who would announce Baoh doing something cool and every time Baoh did one of his moves.

Morrigan Aensland in the DOA games would be perfect. Especially the potential interactions w/ Nyotengu.

The best crossover is Lily from Tekken as a digimon tamer in re: digitize

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.

Geese presence on this list was.... PREDICTABLE ! well deserved , though.

This list made me realize how much great guest characters we got in the last few years, and there's a lot potential for more.

2B being added to Granblue Fantasy Vs was pretty nice

My Favorite guest characters are: • Heihachi Mishima • Darth Vader • Starkiller • Alien • Predator • Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles • Ezio Auditore • Spawn (SC2 and MK11 versions)

Geese Howard in Tekken was probably one of the most fitting of all time for me

Terry Bogard in Fighting EX Layer Skullomania in Fighter Maker Kurara in Yuusha Heavens Gate Geese in Tekken 7 Spawn in Soul Caliber 2 Kula Diamond in DoA6 Ryo Sakazaki in Fatal Fury 2 & Wild Ambition Akira, Pai, Jackie & Sarah in DoA5 Kage, Jeffry & Wolf in Giant Gram 2 All Japan Pro Wrestling Cloud, Tifa, Yuffie, Vincent & Sephiroth in Ehrgeiz

My favorite Guest Character is Mashu from Fate Grand Order in Melty Blood Type Lumina. two of her moves give off Captain America Vibes (Her QCF and her DP).

RIP Tommy Aka Jason David Franks ( at 2:43)

Still waiting for Ash Williams to show up in Mortal Kombat.

Really wished the Power rangers game had more ranger versions of Guest characters...

2:44 still hurts even after two years it still hurts miss ya Jason David frank (edit: too soon because Kevin conroy [who’s death was relatively recent when Jdf passed away] the start of his last roles is starting)

I didn't even know that a Showdown character got into Soul Cal.

Great video. Loved the sentence mixing at @9:48! I think my most anticipated guest character is Peppino Pizza Tower in the next Soul Calibur game!

Hell, yeah, battle for the grid mentioned!!!

Top Axe users. (Asteroth (Soul Calibur), Labrys (P4A), Xu Huang (Dynasty Warriors), Hector (Fire Emblem), Belmonts (Castlevania), etc.)

17:18 **insert rant about missed opportunity to release a comprehensive Rival Schools collection (complete with fully translated content from home ports) when Akira was announced here**

This was an awesome list! Love it! Also, Akuma being the GOAT for being the only character to bury Heihachi and say " Pathetic!"

13:51 I wish Capcom had been approached (or if they had, had agreed) to lend a character to SamSho, because there would be no better guest Capcom character for SamSho than Bishamon from Darkstalkers. It would have been PERFECT, both for the theme and seeing a less-rep’d Darkstalkers character as a guest. If Capcom had been generous, they could have also loaned out Donovan for a different but similar rep.

25:11 "i dont know how much noctis or neegan fit with the tone of tekken" you do know that this is the game with androids, cyborgs, demons, angels, time travel, people surviving being dropped into an active volcano, then survive being strapped into a rocket and shot into space. there's a panda and a brown bear, a samurai using a cursed sword, ninjas who can use illusion, and now basically noctis, but french. so yeah, hardly the strangest addition to the game.

good to see baoh shows up in the game. and let's not forget: BAOH HAS A LASER CANON!

My favorite guest characters were Kratos from MK9, Jason and Predator in MKX, Hellboy and TMNT in Injustice 2, Terminator and Spawn in MK11

My favorites guest character Spawn 2B Darth Vader Starkiller

Hm, very nice List, I wonder what kind of Guest Characters we could get next? Speaking of which, what Characters would like to see as a Guest in a Fighting Game? I would like to see a Touhou Character as Fighting Game Guest Character.

when you talked about dead or alive you forget to mention Naotora ii from samurai warriors 4 ll

An underrated and one of my favorite guest characters are the RWBY girls in BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle! They have their own little story and they’re fun to play! I’ve always wanted a RWBY fighting game so it’s nice to play as the characters in one for once!

Should've included Kratos in MK9

Idk if you did this yet, but top 10 Platform fighting games

Geese fits in in Tekken, since Fatal Fury had the Lane Change gimmick in it's playstyle.

Arika is working on a 3d fighing game of fighting ex layer, with terry returning.

Every time i see him in any video i just miss him. You know whom i am talking about. 😢😢😢

Beautiful selection for number one

okay you talking about the sentai stuff in ryu and chun li, you're awesome

21:22 WTF I did not except to see Baoh in this video!😲 You sir get a 10/10 video from me

7:59 Jimmy: “Bouncy bouncy bouncy!”

What about top 10 forgotten fighting gamed

Honorable mention: Banjo & Kazooie in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Omg! I never would have thought that a Power Rangers game would get such epic crossover characters!😮

you forgot to mention that Keith david was also the Arbiter in halo 2 + 3 and julius in saints row 1 and 2

Rest in peace Jason...

Spawn should've been number 1, he's by far the best guest character in fighting games.

SC3 did has Non-guest character but only in character creation and that is KOS-MOS from XenoSaga

Baiken was great but i have a nitpick about how the missing arm and eye change depending on what direction she is facing. I dont think that happens in her main game

I must agree with this list. TMNT is my number 1 favourite guest out of fighting games too!! They were so well crafted & implemented it was amazing + they didn’t leak so when we saw them in the fighter pass 3 trailer it was a genuine surprise, I still love & play them to this day coz injustice & injustice 2 is my favourite fighting game franchise & favourite fighting game respectively!! 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! I also must agree that NRS handles their guests very well, I just wish they had stages so we get more of their universe included !! Great video tho man!! Very much agree with a lot of your choices on here too like Mai as well!! Oh yeh also about TMNT dialogue I believe there was a voice actor strike on at the time? So all dialogue had to be reused several times some of which don’t make sense

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.

You forgot The Undertaker from WWE in King of Fighters All Stars

It's actually better to have Team Ninja make their own OC Nicole Spartan-458 for DOA4 because the Halo team made Nicole's inclusion in the game canon in the Halo Universe. I feel like that kind of deal is win-win-win for Team Nina because including all that, this was back when the front and back covers of games were what sold and falsely suggesting it was Master Chief might've landed them a few extra sales.

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.

Akira isn't a guest character, because rival schools is a part of the street fighter universe, just like the final fight series.

So glad I have all the kof dlc for doa5, didn't know it was delisted btw her fire effects look better in 5

Wait, Arika is codeveloping Tekken 8? I would love to see Skullomania appear in Tekken

I don't knwo what topic, but it would be neat having you talk about the ace combat presence in tekken. like a crossovers that aren't acknowledged in universe.

7:06 There is a full Nakoruru outfit available with the DLC. Also, you can make a lot of creations in the CAS. I made 21 Darkstalkers characters, 10 FE3H characters, 5 Yugioh Charmers, the 4 Ninja Turtles and Shredder, and 20 other game and animation guests (including Mai and Kasumi).

23:23 BAOH HAS A LAZER CANNON!!!!!!

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.

Your point about Haohmaru and Nakoruru being the go-to crossover characters is especially funny when they showed up in KoFXV alongside Darli, whi had only been in a single Samurai Shōdown game and that's it.

10:59 eventually we did get Master Chief in a fighting game

Geese Howard is the best, most hype fighting game guest of all time, but Kazuya Mishima's inclusion in Smash Ultimate is the most appropriate because that game is all about throwing people off of cliffs.

I'm looking forward to 2b in granblue fantasy versus rising this her second guest appearance

Chun LI is the best power ranger I've ever seen.

4:33:My man should be at number 1!

Kyo In SSBU: Hi Terry, Have you seen Mai ? Terry: Sakurai told me She's in Dead Or Alive, since this game is for Good Boys And Girls Kyo: Ah I see.

Great video 👍 would love (pun intended) a top10 of „Fighters of Love“ in Fighting Games. F.e. poison ivy

Hi. How about top 10 archers in fighting games

I loved the Bach anime from back in the the day, and it's amazing to see him again.

Thank God Geese got a mention. He absolutely deserves a spot, he really fit into the lore & his gameplay wasn't too overturned like Akuma post season 3.

List of fame fighting games and guest characters you have forgotten: Xmen Children of the Atom: Akuma Marvel Super Heroes: Annita from the Darkstalker series Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter: Norimaro Japanese only version, based on the comedian Noritake Kinashi Tatsunoko Vs Capcom: Hakushon Daimao Japanese only version* Now to the Smash series: Smash is supposed to be a Nintendo fighting festival BUT 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. PS: Hakushon Daimaio no longer belongs to Tatsunoko entertainment, it was obtained by YTV and thus technically it was a guest character and so it remained in the Japanese version of TvC and never became obtainable in the worldwide IP of the game.

Arika going from doing Fighting EX Layer (love the game) to Tekken 8 blew my mind.

NRS always gets the beat guest characters. I mean TMNT? Predator? Spawn? The Terminator? Yeah...nuff said.

The turtles pizza they throw at the screen is my favorite because it always makes me hungry and it's partially because those are my favorite toppings

Pretty good video, but ya didn’t include Godzilla (& Ultraman) in the recent kaiju fighting game, GigaBash….wow

honorable mention, every guest character in smash as the idea of sora, banjo, joker, steve, ect in smash is just an awsome part of gaming history.

They need to bring back rival school and bloody roar 😢 pulling off Long’s combo was just orgasmic.

Here's Mine 10. Cloud Strife from Final Fantasy VIII (Super Smash Bros U) 9. Haohmaru from Samurai Showdown (Soulcalibur Vi) 8. Freddy Kruger (Mortal Kombat 9): 7. Akuma (Tekken 7) 6. Ryu and Chun li (Power Rangers: Battle For The Grid) 5. Predator (Mortal Kombat X) 4. Spawn (Mortal Kombat 11) 3. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Injustice 2) 2. Sora (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate) 1. Sonic The Hedgehog (Super Smash Bros. Brawl, 4, Ultimate)

I was introduced to guest characters in fighting games with Soul Caliber 2. I wanted to play as Link, but we had the PS2 version, with Heihachi instead. I ended up playing as him primarily and became a Tekken fan thanks to his inclusion. 👊

I was so happy when they announced he was going to be in tekken

Link in Soul Calibur 2 will forever be the greatest crossover in games period. Fun Fact: Cloud Strife was set to be the playstation exclusive character initially but Square backed out last second so Namco had to use their own character (Heihachi) due to limited time.

Yeah that TMNT collab was so legendary at the time. Makes the wait for Injustice 3 even more exhausting since the games are fun to play.

Soul Calibur 3 did have a guest character...kinda? They had a special outfit set for the custom characters that was KOS-MOS

Mortal Kombat, Hellboy, and TMNT all fall under Warner Bros

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.

Darth Vader and Spawn in SC or Freddy and Kratos in MK was the best guest character appearance I’ve seen in a game

Top 10: Bruce Lee look alikes military characters drunken fist characters sword users axe users nunchuck users hammer users claw users knife users secret characters character rivalries extra modes in fighting games

Well. Your number 3 is my number 1. All time GOAT!

wow no love for Killer Instinct? that had a few amazing guest characters like Rash from Battletoads and The Arbiter from the halo series.

Most wanted guest? One of mine would have to be Iori Yagami in Mortal Kombat. MK is one of the few franchises SNK has not collabed with. I could definitely see Iori (when completely possessed by the orochi), preforming deadly fatalities.

guilty gear samurai shodown have both been in crossover with each other also king of fighters and Blazbule before in overly dramatic music the RPG Queen's Blade game Queen's gate spiral chaos also died or alive in the card game. I wonder if they all crossover in anything else, Queen's blade needs a fighting game.

I love terry so much, we need next-gen KOF game asap :(

A few days later, 2B gets announced

Watching all these list i wonder, is Mortal Kombat your favorite Fighting game franchise ??

13:56 thought that was Kanjuro from One Piece for a minute!

I don't even play Mortal Kombat but I believe they are unbeatable on guest characters
