411 Games Top 5 01.19.12: Top 5 Most Hated Fighting Game Characters
Posted by Todd Vote on 01.19.2012
From Street Fighter's Seth and Mortal Kombat's Shao Kahn to Tekken's Yoshimitsu, the Star Wars characters in Soul Calibur, and even Shaq-Fu, 411 Games Staffers rank their Top 5 Most Hated Fighting Game Characters!
Welcome to the Top 5. Let's take a look at some feedback and see what you guys are looking forward to in 2012, shall we?
You know what? The lack of Halo 4 on the lists really sort of surprised me too. Then I realized that other than the fact that it is coming, we know very little about this game. We know Master Chief and Cortana will be back, but what do we know beyond that? I can't help but think that as the hype machine for Halo 4 rolls out the excitement for the game will grow. As of right now, there isn't much to be excited about other than the game may land in 2012. Hell, is that even a guarantee at this point? As for Jade Empire 2, isn't that one pretty much dead now?
no love for GTA V?!!

The only one i am remotely interested in is The Last of Us and GTA V. The Last of Us sounds like a north american reboot of the japan-exclusive Disaster Report. I hope they are able to do the concept justice.
Posted By: Guest#4900 (Guest)
I fully do not expect GTA V to happen in 2012. I think we will see some info on it and we will get the game in early 2013. We do not have a solid release date for the game. The Last of Us is one that I am very very intrigued by. I hadn't really heard anything about it till the VGA's, but it is definitely on my radar now.
God of War 4
Posted By: Guest#3162 (Guest)
Yeah, this one hasn't even been officially announced yet. It appeared on some composers resume. That is far from a game announcement. The chances of God of War IV happening in 2012 are slimmer than the chances of GTA V actually releasing this year. Don't get me wrong, I am all for the continued adventures of Kratos, but we won't see it in 2012.
Are Lee Jones and Donald Stewart really still 'reader' voices? They've been part of the column for months. I call for a new title like Todd's Toadies or just lose the READERS VOICE tag. Or give someone else a voice, its been months.
Posted By: Guest#8293 (Guest)
You make a good point. They were alternating back and forth, but they are both pretty well permanent fixtures now. No more Reader Voice for them. As far as someone else getting a shot, the offer is continually on the table. Shoot me an email if you are interested in being a Reader Voice. It is open to anybody who is interested. And no, they will not be referred to as Todd's Toadies, even if it did make me laugh.

Couldn't help it...that's the first thing I thought of when I read your post.

Jericho was awesome in WCW. That made me laugh when I was reading it. I appreciate a good laugh. Arm Bar! Thanks everyone for all the great comments. Keep them coming.
Soul Calibur comes out here in a couple of weeks, so why not talk about some fighting games? This week the staff is taking a look at our most hated fighting game characters. From the boss that delivers cheap hit after cheap hit to the joke characters. That is what we are getting at this week. Away we go.
Lee Jones
5.Yoshimitsu - I'm hopeless with him. He looks cool, he has a sword that somehow doesn't give him an edge in Tekken. I want to get good with him but I suck. (sigh) maybe next time.
4.Kilik - Soul Calibur 4 was the last beat em up I put effort into being good at, probably because a group of us met up twice a week to play so I didn't want to get humped. Kilik is my achilles heel, his easy moves and range often frustrated me and it was only really with my fav Voldo that I had any luck.
3.Shao Kahn - I'd forgotten how insanely hard this guy was back in the early game. Mortal Kombat Arcade Collection is kicking my ass right now cause I just can't beat him. On Easy. How on earth did I regularly beat him in my youth? Reading my button inputs and countering them before my move connects is the height of unfair AI.
2.Eddy Gordo - Talk about cheap. A.I. Eddy I don't mind but human Eddy can go suck a Kuma shit. There was no skill involved, button bash whilst moving towards your opponent would see you beat them. Now I'm sure Tekken experts could whoop Eddy players repeatedly but I was a casual dormroom player so he sucked.
1.Seth - Urghh this guy stopped me playing Street Fighter 4. After beating storymode twice I no longer gave a crap about the game. Kicks that hits you multiple times, multiple teleports that lead into an instant throw, uppercut combo and ultimate special that suck you towards Seth. Capcom tell me why?
Donald Stewart
HONORABLE MENTIONS
Dhalsim - Street Fighter 2 - My main problem with the 'Brawler from Bombay', was that in my opinion is that he doesn't fit in with the rest of the classic SF 2 Cast(apart from Blanka but we'll get onto that) from his stretch attacks to his peaceful life, nothing about Dhalsim floats my boat. Hate playing as the character and hate playing against. No good times
5.Blanka - Street Fighter 2 - And this brings me to Blanka. The Brazilian brawler was a complete pain to fight against back in the arcades circa 1992 as most players who played as the Canine Conqueror would tend to try and get you stuck in corner and constantly spam the electric attack. Maybe I'm just rotten at the game but I thought that this was a shady tactic. Also its the character i cant defeat when playing Hyper Fighting on Xbox live arcade. Grrr
4.Star Wars Characters - Soul Caliber 4 - Not sure if this is just me but I thought that this reeked of a cash-in. Although Vader/Yoda/Starkiller are awesome in their own games, I just don't think that they fit into the 'tale of souls and swords, eternally retold'. A lot of things annoyed me about this. I felt that Starkiller and Vader where over powered, Yoda under powered and the Box art for both PS and Xbox prominently featured Yoda/Vader on the front of the box as opposed to the real Soul Caliber characters!
3.Jack 2 - Tekken 2 - When Tekken 2 first came out on the PSone, it was a quality game and I remember about 1997 my friends and I would be sitting playing winner stays on and one guy would pick Jack - 2. His tactics with him didn't consist of 18 hit combos like myself with Baek or chaining grapples with King/Armour King, no it was High punch, low punch. That was it. Constantly. High punch, low punch. Yeah you could counter some of the hits if you got it in time but then it would be back to High punch, low punch. Not even his sweet power bomb grapple!! Bad times.
2.Guy - Street Fighter Alpha 2 - A similar like hatred for Guy as jack - 2 here. Again the same friend would use a similar tactic with the Final Fight alumni. High elbow, low kick. High elbow low kick. Again and again. and again. It was like it was a VHS tape stuck on the worst part of the movie. High Elbow low kick. Like Sisyphus pushing the rock up the hill, it never changed. Yeah I could have countered it but I always found the countering in the Alpha games to be a bit hard to accomplish. Damn you Guy!
1.Eddy Gordo - Tekken 3 - My main problem with Gordo was that you could spend ages learning a Tekken Character, all their nuances, combos, counter etc and finally be a master with them, Yet someone playing as Gordo would still look better than you at the game by simply button mashing. And sometimes still win!!! No skill with Baek needed as Gordo would trounce you with mad skills all the time and bystanders would wonder how they got so good at the game! Its just button mashing people, your mother could do it! Maybe I was just crap at the game....
Dan Watson
5. Smoke (Mortal Kombat) The most current installment of Mortal Kombat had plenty of characters that had cheap attacks that were hard to block. In the end, Smoke was one that was used almost more than any other character in games our circle was playing and I hated every moment of it. This may have been one of the cheapest characters in the game.
4. Any character from a different genre in a fighter Remember the Halo character in Dead or Alive? Or any of the other countless characters like Yoda, Darth Vader, etc in so many other fighting games. Guess what, all of them are pointless and take away from the game. This is one of the reasons I hate fighters now. Why ruin the story in the game by adding some stupid ass other character from a different game.
3. The Kangaroo and Raptor in Tekken Series This is worst than adding character that people know, adding stupid animals or other creatures to fight in the game without explaining the story or how they even can fight. Where did the Raptor come from? Why is he fighting humans instead of eating them?
2. MOKAP Ah one of Mortal Kombat's biggest mistakes. This is annoying because at least Kangaroo had a move list of some kind. MOKAP was the worst character and pointless in all points of view. This guy was a joke of a character and ended up showing why hidden characters aren't needed in games unless there is a major purpose to them or they are related to the story somehow.
1. Liu Kang Alright, hear me about before jumping all over me. This guy in the movies and games is really just a whiny bitch. Nothing annoys me more than a character that is supposed to be a leader and ends up just bitching about it. Then he goes and dies right, not the case they bring him back as a zombie trying to make him cool and trendy. It just made the story worst.
And now, R. Lee Ermey
Adam Larck
HONORABLE MENTIONS
Shaq - Like his game, he's just a fighter that should be avoided.
5.Dan - Dan's a character of a different color. Why Capcom put in a character with half the power of everyone else is beyond me. Joke or not, he's a waste of space that needs to be gotten rid of. There has to be better characters they can think of, right?
4.Mokap - The MK character that should never have existed. Mokap is what it sounds like, a guy in a motion capture suit. He has no memorable attacks, and probably only made it in because they were scrambling for hidden characters when they saw a guy in a suit.
3.M.O.D.O.K. - There's been plenty of good and bad characters in the Marvel vs. Capcom series, but two really stand out to me. The first, M.O.D.O.K, really has no good range attacks, or good attacks in general. He's a pretty slow character, and seems thrown in just to fill out the Marvel side. There's plenty of better characters in the universe that could have been thrown in.
2.Roll -Speaking of thrown in, why did Roll ever make the cut? We already had her stronger brother and he played a lot better. Her moves are basically identical, yet she's a lot weaker and easier to kill. Leave her out and start exploring other Capcom licenses for characters.
1.Seth - My hate for Seth is on two levels. One, because of his boss fights. This has been one of the most broken boss fights I've ever seen, and one of the most annoying ones to ever fight. On another level, the extremely overpowered boss becomes a purely average character. Capcom should have made it one extreme or another, not the worst of both worlds.
What Toddo Plays:
Honestly, other than wrapping up the review for Amy, I didn't get a chance to do much of anything gaming wise. Been a long week. This shall return next week.
That's it. There's nothing left. Get out of here, leave your comments at the door below. What fighting game characters are just the worst of the worst for you? Let us know and we'll see ya back here in seven.
Seth really isn't that bad once you figure him out. For sure the first couple times you fight him your just thinking wtf! But as soon as you understand him he's not that bad or cheap or anything.

Woah woah woah? MODOK isnt good? I disagree. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuGZQ4q7OUo Prepare to be amazed.
My five most hated?
5- Lambda 11: (BlazBlue Continnium Shift 2) Oh god. A good friend of mine plays this character, and i absolutely hate the fuck out of him for it. In CS2, Lambda got a lot of buffs. So her hit boxes, and a few moves in general just irritate the fuck out of me. and i hate zoning characters. so yeah. fuck lambda.
4- Ryu(Any Streetfighter game) Yes, i hate Ryu. Why? Because i have to fight him so god damned much. Everyone and their mother play Ryu. I've heard the word Hadoken so much, i just cant take it anymore. Everyone just runs. and runs. and runs.
3- Shao Khan(MK) Yeaahhh. I raged too many times against this guy in multiple MK games. Just...fuck him.
2- Jin(Any Blazblue game) If there is one character that i've never been able to figure out how to play against, its this prick right here. No matter how much I practice against Jins, i can't win. Maybe because all his moves are better than my characters(Bang) moves. Whatever installment of this game it is, the match-up sucks for Bang.
1-Wesker(UMvC3) Never has one character made me rage so much in my life. Watching him beat other people makes me angry. His stupid gunshot that does SO much chip. Stupid teleports. Stupid long hit confirms. Thats all this character is. Stupid. Combine level 3, and with his sunglasses off, level 4 Wesfactor you have the new Dark Phoenix of MvC. Ive lost countless matches to people who have just sat wesker as their last character. X-Factored, and randomed me out.

Posted By: Guest#0372 (Guest) on January 19, 2012 at 12:29 AM
no Zangief? he is the very definition of cheap...especially in the recent sf games where his only move consists of the spinning piledriver.
I stopped playing SNK games years ago due to their horribly cheap bosses.
Posted By: kaz (Guest) on January 19, 2012 at 12:54 AM
Some glaring omissions:
T. Hawk - (SSFII, et al) Super-cheap throws and that f'n jump/dive attack that reaches across the entire screen.
Stryker - (MK3) Weapons like swords or clubs are ok, but a gun? C'mon man!
Necrid - (Soul Caliber 2) Todd McFarlane probably made a hefty sum for the 5 minutes it took to design that hideous, generic, preposterously unbalanced POS

Posted By: Guest#3501 (Guest) on January 19, 2012 at 01:58 AM
Just sounds to me like none of you actually know how to play fighting games.
Most of the characters (and moves) listed as cheap are easily beaten by anyone with basic skills.
Posted By: Guest#1845 (Guest) on January 19, 2012 at 02:17 AM
Gil out of SF3 was a real cheap bastard. Right when you beat him down to death in the 1st round when you have almost no health he would pull off that resurrection crap. That was really annoying among other things.
Posted By: nastrodamus (Guest) on January 19, 2012 at 03:57 AM
Anyone that spammed Blanka's electricity in SF2 didn't know what they were doing. A weak leg sweep usually knocked him right out of it.
Now you want cheese, it was Vega the first time you could play him in the Street Fighter series. I believe it was Street Fighter 2. He was the character I brought in when my opponent decided to be a douche with their character. Nothing beat Vega for pure cheese. Wall bounce, backdrop, wall bounce, backgroup. Pulled turtles out of their crouch, got by almost every special attack if you timed it correctly. A player that was good with Ken or Ryu could dragon punch you out of it, but that was about it.
Posted By: Scott B (Guest) on January 19, 2012 at 04:01 AM
Guile from Street Fighter was a fucking mess when you fought him in Street Fighter 2 with his fucking somersault kick. The CPU would stand and throw sonic booms until you came close and then hit a bad ass somersault, it was a MESS!

Posted By: Guest#2861 (Guest) on January 19, 2012 at 12:39 PM
Here are a few of mine.
Blaze (Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance)- One of my friends spent a lot of time figuring out Blaze, and the end result was misery. Blaze had what was essentially an infinite combo that was completely unblockable and un-dodgeable. You could put the controller down and leave the room and still have more success against him than if you actually tried to fight. One of the cheapest, most overpowered characters ever. I think this is what put me off the game forever.
Motaro (Ultimate MK3)- Speaking of overpowered, Motaro was an absolute joke. You couldn't use any special move on him (most of them would end up hurting you instead), so you had to get in close. This allowed him to punch or kick you and take a quarter of your health bar. If you managed to block, he'd do that unblockable "Grab 'n' Lob" move, taking a third of your health in the process. Or he'd hit you with unblockable fireballs, and while a human player could fire up to two of these fireballs in a row while playing as Motaro, the CPU would sometimes air-juggle you with up to five for an instant win. And even if you somehow managed to counter any one of these, a teleport would open you up for something else. Whoever came up with Motaro should be buried alive next to those ET cartridges.
Cinder (Killer Instinct)- Consider this: I had one of those Turbo controllers for the SNES, where you could set a button to auto or semi-auto. One time, I set Y to semi-auto, chose Cinder, held the Y button while pressing forward, and WON THE ENTIRE GAME ON 4 STAR DIFFICULTY. I can only imagine how many friendships were ended by players on the receiving end of this cheap bullshit.
Meta Knight (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)- When I figured out how to play as Meta Knight, Brawl was dead to me. It was IMPOSSIBRU to lose as him. I couldn't even get knocked off the screen because I could always glide back, and victory was gained by hammering ONE button (A or B, depending on the situation). Meta Knight was so overpowered that the game became boring, and I eventually traded it in. I'd hate to play against him...
Every new character introduced in MK Deception- I dunno how they play, but based on appearance, name, backstory etc, this group of characters fucking sucks. The new characters in MK: Deadly Alliance were awesome, and this was the best they could come up with for the sequel? Someone obviously went home early with this game.

"My main problem with Gordo was that you could spend ages learning a Tekken Character, all their nuances, combos, counter etc and finally be a master with them, Yet someone playing as Gordo would still look better than you at the game by simply button mashing.

Its just button mashing people, your mother could do it! Maybe I was just crap at the game...."
Every time I've ever played a Tekken game or demo, I just palmed the face buttons and pulled off awesome combos. It seems to be worse for Tekken than any other fighter. Maybe that's why so many Tekken characters are on this list for being cheap. :P
Then again, I've never played against anyone who knew what they were doing in a Tekken game...

Posted By: (registered) (Guest) on January 19, 2012 at 02:56 PM
If you played as the Flash in Justice League Task Force all you needed to do is back your opponant into a corner and just punch him with your superspeed. It was entirely possible to not do any damage to him.
Posted By: JLAJRC (Guest) on January 19, 2012 at 03:11 PM
You are so uniformed Adam Larck. Most people may not know what they are doing with M.O.D.O.K., but I'll be damned if he isn't a beast in the right hands. He's not slow either, you just sound like you're not that familiar with MvC3. Also, he's a big part of the Avengers animated series, so maybe, just maybe Marvel is trying to get viewers for their show and shed some light on more obscure characters, huh?

Posted By: Dude (Guest) on January 19, 2012 at 03:30 PM
5. Any SNK Boss, take your pick - No explanation needed.
4. (U)MvC3 Wolverine - Unbalanced as hell, especially with an OTG assist. OCV's are a piece of cake with this guy against anyone of average skill or less.
3. Capcom vs. SNK Zangief - Evade roll has a few extra frames of invulnerability coming out of it. Zangief could roll back and forth with spinning piledrivers all day unless you were quick enough to throw him out of his roll.
2. Soul Calibur 2 Ivy - Ivy players with just average skill could put together an inescapable 100% damage chain with her easily (no pun intended).
1. Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike Yun - Do I really need to explain? Genei Jin is easily the most overpowered Super Art in any Street Fighter game ever.

After Kintaro and Motaro, I thought Shao Kahn was pretty easy.
Posted By: A.C. Sativa (Guest) on January 19, 2012 at 08:01 PM
Gill from SF3. Worse than Seth as he has a move that COMPLETELY HEALS HIM after you kill him.
Boss Rugal from KOF. SNK bosses are ridiculously cheap, just because at it's heart it's an arcade game designed to suck quarters out of it's players.
Didn't play the older Mk, but in MK9, depending on who you play as, Shao Kahn is a joke. I perfected him on the highest difficulty with Noob Saibot using only the teleporting throw. The teleporting throw is better than anything Shao Kahn has.

I haven't owned a Street Fighter game since the mid-90's for this reason alone.
My most hated opponent was M. Bison when controlled by the AI. Getting pinned in a corner and spammed to death with the scissor kick made me rage out every time. Even if you blocked you would eventually have your health bar emptied.
Posted By: Jason Douglas (Registered) on January 19, 2012 at 10:40 PM
I have to go with boss at the end of tekken 5 (can't remember the name). Just a couple of hits and you were gone. then add he would somehow gain more life by doing that stupid bearhug..UGGGHH.
And don't get me started on Galactus on MVC3.

Shin Akuma, Ultimate Rugal Capcom vs SNK 2....THAT IS ALL
Posted By: Guest#2114 (Guest) on January 21, 2012 at 12:29 AM
Honourable mentions:
* Heihachi Mishima. PS2 Soul Calibur 2 style. He didn't have the speed or reach to cope with someone going all over the place with the likes of Kilik or Seung Mina.
* Dictator (M Bison/Vega). Street Fighter Zero/Alpha 3 Boss. That thermonuclear, screen filling, fairly high block damage guaranteeing Psycho Crusher. Oh, and God help you if you got baited into missing a dragon punch just before he executes it (goodbye, >65% of bar).
5. Abyss from Marvel Vs Capcom 2. Insultingly piss-easy, anticlimactic boss. The extreme opposite of Onslaught from MvC1.
4. Sentinel from Marvel Vs Capcom 3. When people talk about balance issues in fighting games, they mention Sentinel.
3. Gill from any SF3. Resurrection plus the excessive priority of his moveset makes him one of the cheapest bastards in Fighting game history.
2. Jinpatchi from Tekken 5. Quick executing fireball that's unblockable (and tears half your bar off). Sometimes, when you sidestep it and think you have a chance to run in, he decides to squeeze out a second one. Besides that, there's his stun strike that may or may not be unblockable.
1. God Rugal. When people talk about unfair difficult fighting game bosses, they call it SNK Boss Syndrome. When you type SNK Boss Syndrome into Google image search, you get masses of pictures of God Rugal (and a few of Capcom Vs SNK 2 Shin Akuma).
