Fun fact: In MK11, in one of Spawn and Scorpion's intro, Spawn references his guest appearance in SoulCal. Spawn: You've been to other dimensions? Scorpion: Each has its own injustices. Spawn: Maybe that's why my soul still burns.

Negan is definitely one of the oddest ones. I don't see him holding his own against martial artists, let alone entering a tournament. Bryan Fury is artificially enhanced and strong enough to rip a tank apart with his bare hands, whereas Negan is just a dude with a barbed wire baseball bat.

Negan being in Tekken is like the most soul thing ever. It's so weird but his reveal trailer shows so much respect to the source material that it's amazing

If I remember correctly, the guest character for the PS2 version of Soul Calibur 2 was originally going to be Cloud from Final Fantasy 7. Square was okay with that at first. But later, Square changed their minds for some reason and said Cloud could no longer be used. So at the 11th hour, Namco scrambled for a replacement character. And that's how Heihachi got into the game.

Honestly for the RoboCop entry I through you would talk about how his source material is also known for being over the top gory like Mortal Kombat. I mean just watch the first movie and you will see plenty of bad guys die in a way that could also be a Fatality, so he fits pretty well in the universe.

I feel like leatherface makes a lot of sense, people were outraged due to the gore violence in Texas chainsaw massacre, just like how the blood and violence were controversial in the early days of mortal kombat (still is controversial to some). They are almost parallels and each became legendary in their genre

Personally, I always though that Robocop was included in MK11 is due to 80s-90s nostalgia that fits well with the other guest characters sans Kratos, and for the sake of fighting the Terminator similar with Alien vs. Predator and Jason vs. Leatherface. For Spawn in Soul Calibur 2, it was because of how he was a western character for a western console (which wasn't really popular in Japan).

In my opinion, the weirdest guest character is Norimaro from the Japanese port of Marvel Super Heroes VS. Street Fighter. He is based in some celeb personality from that point in time. Some of his moves were later given to Phoenix Wright in Ultimate Marvel VS Capcom 3

Kazuya Mishima: “You went time travelling?” Heihachi Mishima: “What would you like to know?” Ivy: “Who are you?” Ezio Auditore: “Only the most interesting man you’ve ever seen.” Ivy: 😆 “Oh please.”

- I don't think Rash was a questionable choice. He truly fits the universe of Ulltratech monsters along Sabrewulf, Cinder, Riptor, Glacius, Eyedol, Gargos and the predator-inspired Fulgor. He's also very 90's just like the original KI characters. He could easily exist in the same place where Combo, Jago and Orchid live. Let's not forget that Battletoads' first crossover was with Double Dragon: a dystopian urban action game. Also, if Spinal can fit the game, despite being designed after a movie 30 years older than the original KI...a cool muscly toad with shape shifting abilities, surely does. I think Arbiter and General Ram are way more questionable. - RoboCop was requested, not only after having icons from the 80's in MK games. But mostly because RoboCop's biggest rival was added to the game: Terminator. The same thing that made possible getting Alien and Predator in MKX, was what got RoboCop in MK11. From those DLCs the one that makes the least sense is Rambo. Even if it was to sort of promote Rambo's latest film, having him killed in game just makes no sense and it's so against the very own character. John Rambo is sure a killing machine, but he's also a survivor. Someone you're never meant to see die. While RoboCop has been killed and cut into pieces in his own official media. More so, RoboCop's origin is basically as gruesome as any fatality. - Spawn was the Xbox character because of Namco's Spawn Armaggedon. Not only in Armaggedon the cape was transformed into the axe as in SC2, it's also the game's main weapon and some of the axe animations were borrowed from SC. McFarlane's deal also included the toys, but those toys were released not along SC2 in 2002, but the next year (same as Armaggedon).

Guest Characters are cool additions for Fighting Games. My Favorites: • Heihachi Mishima from Soul Calibur 2 • Spawn from Soul Calibur 2 and Mortal Kombat 11 • Alien and Predator from Mortal Kombat X • Star Wars Characters in Soul Calibur 4 • Ezio Auditore from Soul Calibur 5 Yeah, so awesome Fighting Games are☺️

In a way, 2B being in the 1600s isn't too far fetched since time travel is a thing in the Drakengard/Nier lore (via the character Accord) but given how androids in 2B's time view humans, you'd think she'd be kinda reluctant to draw her sword on them.

Robocop isn't questionable. He fits the MK3 cyborg aesthetic well and doesn't even stand out as odd lore wise. Earthrealm has humanoid cyborgs

FUN FACT about Cole: When modding the PC version, modders found some unused arcade-specific victory lines for Cole. It indicates that he was probably planned to be playable in arcade. ANOTHER FUN FACT: Cole, Heihachi, Kuro and Toro all appeared in PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale.

Robocop actually makes a lot of sense, because Terminator vs Robocop was a comic and video game. So their lore is closely tied. Terminator is also tied closely to Predator/Alien, because of the Alien vs. Predator vs. Terminator comic. They basically are from a “Dark Horse” universe. The only one really missing is Judge Dredd. Who was famously played by Stallone! He would have made more sense than Rambo. I would have loved if they kept Sylvester Stallone, but make him Dredd!

From what I understand, Namco was talking with Squaresoft about getting Cloud from Final Fantasy 7 for Soul Calibur 2. They got pretty far along and last minute square pulled out of the deal and namco had to scramble to put in a guest character for the ps2 version, so they just did an asset dump for Heihachi

If only Cole had an arcade mode story that had two endings, good and bad, reflecting the original game's mechanics.

2b is powered by magic though. It just buried really really REALLY deep in the lore.... Of Drakengard

From an eventhubs article regarding Cole's inclusion: The development team ended up settling on Cole from Infamous because of his abilities, but Killian offered some insight as to why. “We were committed to try and provide some extra content to Sony and we were excited about looking at the different roster and seeing who was out there, and you know you’ve got all sort of cool characters like Nathan Drake, but you know Nathan Drake has kind of a nice Han Solo kind of everyman and he’s a comical guy but the Japanese team got really excited about Cole and the flexibility of his powers, projectiles, grabs, and all sorts of cool stuff.”

Thanks for the 2B segment

Stealth Mom appearance!

You forgot one detail about Leatherface in the MKX. The actor Gunner Hansen had just past away and Ed Boon payed his respects to him, that might of also pushed NRS to include Leatherface in the game.

Fun fact did you know cloud strife from final fantasy 7 was originally going to be the guest character of the ps2 version of soul caliber 2 but it was cancelled at the last minute

Glad to have contributed!

Atreus: "That's my Father." Zeus: "That's my son, the one who killed me." Calliope: "My Father killed me too." Cronos: "And me." Sophitia: "He's a psychopath."

It’s strongly implied the raiden in injustice 2 is an elder god raiden which is why his outfit looks much more elegant than any other outfit he has.

Unknown characters in fighting games can be interesting

YAY!!! Surprise TopTenMom appearance!!

I remember that when Soul Calibur 6 was announced A LOOOOOOOOOT of people wanted to see 2B in the game as DLC

The mention of Mega Man in Street Fighter X Tekken reminded me of the hilarious reason we got the bad box art design instead of the blue bomber himself. Apparently, Capcom forgot to give the devs the rights to the character, and only gave them rights to use the name. Instead of letting Capcom know, they just rolled with it and decided to use the infamous box art design to poke some fun at the mistake. At least that's what I heard on the matter, and I'm not the most reliable source what with my bad memory scrambling the story.

What a comfy video, barely felt the absence of more guests!

To me the weirdest character in a fighting game will always be Phoenix Wright in UMvC3. They somehow made an attorney a fighter and it wastn even DareDevil

I think since the Battletoads were already a spoof of TMNT, they decided to make Rash in KI look like the "realistic" designs from the newer TMNT movies. The absurdity of the "hyper realistic" look and the cartoonish shapeshifting together seems like an intentional joke about making the usually cartoonish Turtles look so "realistic" despite them also being entirely animated within the film. Injustice really turned it into a one-two punch by showing how well the classic designs could be integrated into the more serious DC setting, too.

Another solid list MrTopTenlist! I noticed that Capcom and Netherrealm fighting games have a knack for having “out there” guests. XD

Guest characters are not meant to be "requested by fans" or "promoting an upcoming film or game". They're simply supposed to get new fans to purchase the fighting game they're appearing in.

I thought you were gonna mentionned the fact that when MK dev originally include the cyborg ninja in the game, their place holder code name was Ketchup and Mustard and in later revisions (or was it earlier ones), they were refer to as Robocop. The dev were clearly fans and probably wanted him in the game for a very long time. Also, i'd argue he make thematic sense as a guest since they include The Terminator which as several crossover in comic form with Robocop.

Imo they should've done an honorary mention for Solid Snake" from Super Smash Bros" I mean he's so out of place in that series,what with a giant gorilla with a tie and a short,chubby plumber throwing fist at each other. Solid Snake" looks the most normal out of the entire roster lol

I feel like you forgot to mention another reason for Heihachi being in Soul Calibur. The reason being that Soul Calibur and Tekken take place in the same universe; which makes sense for him being a guest.

Would a Bloody Roar character in Tekken 8 be questionable? Both series are 3D fighting games with a start on Ps1 (for consoles). My first pick would be Yugo since he is the posterboy but an alternate pick might be Gado or Shina.

I love that almost every Mortal Kombat guest is just Boon adding in his favorite classic movie characters

Great stuff! Love guest characters in fighting games even when they are questionable... But I'm surprised that Ryu in Power Rangers battle for grid didn't make the list...he would be my nunber 2 ( only loosing to Negan).

Not a Traditional Fighting Game But Afro Thunder In TNA Impact given Midway made the Infamous Wrestling game and Ready 2 Rumble Boxing before going bankrupt in 2008

Fun Fact: The plan was actually to get Cloud as a Playstation Soul Calibur 2 guest character, however it fell through and Namco just grabbed Heihachi as a quick substitute

I'm just gonna be honest, the only reason why everyone complains about Star Wars being "weird" for Soul Calibur due to its futuristic setting and yet no one bats an eye about NieR in SCVI is because Anakin Skywalker and Yoda aren't as caked up as 2B

So far the one I still think about it is Nier on SC, but for me, Skullomania in Gals Fighters was the weirder. I could mention Baiken in SamSho but she kinda fits despite her origin game is more fast pasted and como heavy than a more neutral game. Ps: something I forgot to mention in the last top 10 about yugioh moments made in cards would be what about a video of "Yugioh Moments that should become cards" I think I'll pick the Flotation Ring moment from Duelist Kingdom or the Beyond Infinite shenanigan in the Oricalcos arc, also, the Blue Angel fall from Vrains, which marks the maximum disrespect a character could have.

13:25 - I don't think Nintendo is shy about lending their IPs, they probably just had enough money to lend it.

I'd also like to ad that androids in the Neir universe were shown to be capable of time travel in Drakengard 3.

Off all the ones who are mentioned on this list, Gon is perhaps my favorite. Just seeing that Land Before Time reject beating up Bruce Lee and a Grizzly bear is just pure gold. 🦖

You did something charming that I’ve only seen one other time on these discussion videos by adding your mom as a commentator. That was quite wholesome!❤

Leatherface was a weird guest character but once you learn him you'll realize he's one of the best. Well to me idk if anyone else. And his hammer brutality with the announcers reaction is awesome and different than the rest.

For 2B it makes a good amount of sense. Magic and technology kinda go hand in hand. Advanced technology can be seen as magic and magic can be used to make “advanced” technology.

First time coming across this channel, this is the first time I've felt a list being sooo... endearing, like the personal touch is so prominent from the personal preferences to having your mom on here. Great job man!

I'd love to see a top 10 playable Quadruped characters in fighting games list.

24:00 you made me want Denji in MK12, that'd be incredible

Holy shit I watched that originally video back in 2016, cool to find your Chanel again after all these years

I feel like a big part of Leatherface's inclusion was the desire for Ash Williams to be in MK, something that Boon has supported for a long time. Leatherface likely just fit the Slasher aesthetic better.

Negan segment was fire

lol @11:35 Thanks for the recap and trivia Mrs TTL!

Cole accidentally being the fighting game rep for the ps3 console.

Fun fact: Midway made a Batman game and used the same MK digitized actor method. Causing Batman to do basically everything from MK1 and MK2 in terms of regular attacks.

The guest character in the PS2 version of Soul Calibur 2 was supposed to be Cloud Strife from FF7, so i wonder if he could have been out of place or not.

If a new KI happens . It needs many new characters

Rash fits much! One of best chameos With non serious non goophy ki violonte Rash, 90's age and somehow fits to ki cosmology:D This just is right in every way +That realistic buffulo looks...HOW THIS ISN'T KI!?XD

Its intersting to know that in Namcos Soul Calibur: Lost Swords that during some of their events. The had a random sword fighter based on Link.

Thanks for putting your mom on the video and telling me the backstory of Negan's bat. She's just got you a new subscriber.

Negan’s got that swagger!

In regards to Spawn, doesn’t his cape turn into his axe? He can’t have the cape if he’s using his axe.

Raiden was in Unreal championship 2 also.

I'm huge into Tekken since the 3rd game and I've played Tekken 7 since release regularly. I can say I'm still not used to Negan being in the franchise.

Negan on tekken 7 should be in MK11 since he comes from a horror & bloody series! Its one of the weirdest choices i believe for this 3D fighting franchise! Cole would be better in umvc 3 i believe because he blends better since he was the super hero style guy in his series! Noctis in SC 7 was as rightfully mentioned here as well on SC 6! I believe that robocop & rambo was in MK11 due to their violent nature. 😉

Just found your channel by random and subscribe love your voice love the content keep up the good work

All i heard was "cant believe this goofy or fun character is in the game but that doesn't matter because it still fits" over and over

KZfaqr Dead Meat also had a hard time connecting the Leatherface timeline, ur not alone on that one

If you think this characters are questionable on a fighting game, I have two recommendations for you: "Nitroplus Blasters Heroines Infinity Duel" and "Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax".

Hm, fair and valid points and opinions, how very interesting, I wonder what kind of Guest Characters we’ll see next?

I’ve always loved alternative outfits in fighting games. Could you maybe take a franchise or specific game and do a count down on that if you haven’t yet.

I see your Stocking custom character during your Pepsi Man gag. You have my undying respect.

You should do a top 10 dancers in fighting games next soon. A couple that comes to my head are Duck King from Fatal Fury,Lucky Chole from Tekken and Manon a new character for Street Fighter 6.

Correction: they used the wrong spawn. There is literally a "spawn" from every time period. Comic lore states that. There is a mineral spawn and a Bible days spawn and a future spawn so that fits just fine.

I absolutely love Robocop and while I don't MK11 I was pleasantly surprised to see him make a guest appearance in the MK universe and when Robocop came to Fortnite, he was an instant buy for me

To me Joker in MK11 was a questionable choice for a guest character that actually defied my expectations. At first I wasn’t happy with him being added into the game but after his gameplay trailer came out and after getting a chance to play as him, he’s actually a welcoming addition to MK11.

No Joke, If you make your own Fighting Game with Original OC's for your fighting game, Who would be your Guest Character ?

25:14 I always wondered about this franchise and how many parts there are. Never knew it one of THOSE naming conventions.

When I was about 4 I'd seen Heihachi in the player select of SC2 when my dad played. Then when I played SC3 I initially confused him for the human form of Olcadan the sword master.

I actually didn’t kno the dude still made new vids lol I was so used to watching almost all of the old ones😂

Ok but Cole and Negan were the hypest editions in my eyes. So phat W there

When you let your mom give a monologue, you gained a subscriber, you're a good dude.

The fact that your mom is giving commentary makes this video even better!

Tbh in tekken 7,besides akuma and geese,the rest of the quests are so out of the place.why not bring gaoh from virtua fighter or ohma tokita from kengan ashura,or even genjuro from samurai shodown or someone from bloody roar.

Namco (and Todd Mcfarlane?) not using Medieval Spawn in Soul Calibur 2 has always been somewhat weird to me.

About Spawn: Spawn's latest games at that time were on SEGA's DreamCast as much as I remember; but since there is no DreamCast anymore then it is up to the XBOX to carry on with hosting Spawn...

Spawn needing Time travel is odd since in spawn there's a medieval spawn

When it comes to Guest Characters in Fighting Games, it's either they wanted to Promote the upcoming Product or just as Fan-Service, Personally, my favorite Guests are Akuma and Geese Howard in "Tekken 7," not only it's the closest you'll see a Capcom vs SNK Fighting Game in 3-D, but I find it the most Interesting on how they Fit well in the Universe of Tekken, Akuma is a Fighter that wonders around to find a worthy Strong Opponent and Geese is a corrupted Crime Boss that takes control the Streets in a City, For Akuma I can actually accept Street Fighter being a part of it, but Geese is the most Inconsistent because he's from both Fatal Fury (where he is Dead) and King of Fighters (where he is Alive), but Honestly, it's probably for the Best.

For raiden being in Injustice 2 was somewhat ok. But whats crazy is that ed boon made a poll about which of the 4 mk fighters we want to be in injustice 2 Subzero, raiden, johnny cage, and i forgot who the 4th fighter was. Results came and subzero was 1st, johnny cage 2nd and raiden 3rd. And static shock was gonna be in injustice 2 but was scrapped

I completely forgot that Cole McGrath was in SFxT. That is definitely the strangest fighting game guest character. They didn't even try to make him fit with the game at all. He was just there.

Not 1, not 2, but 3 Star Wars characters in SC IV will always blow my mind as the most insane crossover I've ever seen

I always love guest characters. They’re always so fun to see get revealed.

Let's not forget about Spartan Nicole-458 in Dead or Alive 4, because who doesn't love a futuristic supersoldier in full power armor taking on (and realistically beating) an entire cast of normal (mostly sexy women) people

I remember when there were rumors and hype that 2B from Nier Automata was going to make it in Super Smash Bros Ultimate. Unfortunately she didn't make it but It would be cool If she did imagine he we Final Smash it would have been amazing. I'm not into Soul Calibur but Link being apart of it back in the GameCube days was great. Super Smash Bros Ultimate had Kazuya hopefully Nintendo makes a deal with Namco and they get a exclusive port of a popular Tekken game on the Nintendo Switch because Tekken 8 will definitely not be on Switch unfortunately. Cool video. ^_^
