My Top 5 Fighting Video Game Characters


Hey everybody its C92cool and I am here to bring you my top five fighting video game characters. So without wasting any more time let’s get this list started shall we.

Number 5…Vega from the Street fighter series. Vega is a man who has the appearance of a warrior and the balls of a god; he tried so hard to get at it with Chun Li only to be beat silly. In the street fighter movie he looked badass and it carries over into the games. Sadly, Vega has the ability to lose his weapon and mask thus lowering his defense and offense capabilities. Also his moves do look nice, but that’s about it and seeing how some of his combos are far to annoying to pull off he lands at the bottom of the barrel as number 5.

Number 4…Scorpion from the Mortal Kombat games. First off…fire is so damn awesome and is better than ice. Scorpion not only has the ability to wield fire, but he’s undead so that just adds to his coolness factor. His weapon selection other than his fist contains two swords and his chain spear used to pull his opponent closer to him. Scorpion is however only ranked four due to his ability to be tricked by Quan Chi into believing Sub Zero killed his clan off and due to his lack of strength unless your good at chaining combos makes him close to last on my list.

Number 3…Link from the Legend of Zelda and Super Smash Brother series. Link is the Hero of Time/Hyrule and he brings his arsenal of weapons to land him the number three spot on my countdown. Link is typically armed with his master sword, hyrule Shield, bow & arrows, boomerang and bombs. He uses this wide variety of weapons to eliminate his enemies and reach goal. Now what makes Link a number 3 spotter is not the fact that he is an awful character since he's a pretty easy character to use and can easily combo people when needed. His long distance weapons is what is able to keep foes at bay and when they get close  Link can bash people with his shield and slice and dice with his sword. Link however is just not strong enough to reach the number 2 or 1 spot on my countdown.

Number 2…Roll from the Megaman and Capcom VS Tatsunoko games. What makes Roll so damn good and ranking in at number two is her ability to look harmless, but packs a punch when used by someone properly. When I first used Roll I didn’t know what to expect…and then I learned how good a broom and a bucket could be against almost any opponent. I would have to say Roll is like a Moral weapon and when someone loses to you because you used Roll then they just won’t focus at all. Now with all these good qualities you wonder why she is only number 2 and that’s because no one can compete with my number one pick.

Number 1…Steve Fox from the Tekken games. Steve Fox is man who uses only his fist and pummels people to a pulp with a series of quick punches. When I first used Steve I had no idea that he was a boxer and couldn’t kick. This news led to a seven round fight with my friend who tricked me into using him. I had won in the end and have been using Steve ever since. Steve Fox is just that one guy who you just don’t want to fuck with.
Well me lads and lasses it seems that we have reached the end of this countdown of mine. I hope that all of you have enjoyed this list and maybe you’ll agree and maybe you’ll won’t, but here is something I should also share with all of you.

Honorable Mention…Bowser from the Mario and Super Smash Bro games. Bowser is the King of the Koopa’s and has been a favorite of mine for years. He’s big, tough and has a variety of moves to kill someone with. The reason he gets the honorable mention is because do to him being such a large slow target and it’s hard to combo with him he falls badly down the list, but he still deserves a shout out as a true blue fighter for him never giving up no matter  how many times he gets his ass beat.
