R Mika in SFA3 seemed out of place. How was she out of place? I liked how there was another wrestler in the game and a female one at that. Anyway, I am surprised nobody mentioned Blanka, who was probably the original strange character. At least the other characters are human (Despite having some moves that involve fire and such), whereas he was a man-beast. I think Goh from the Virtua Fighter games is a strange one moreso for his appearance. |

Voldo is definitely my favorite weirdo in the Soul Calibur series, although Charade and Olcadan are probably more out there. And given that Voldo is a blind Italian who dresses like a Renaissance BDSM pimp who crab walks and rolls up into a ball for attacks, that's saying a hell of a lot.

Hey you know Marvel , yeah that comic book company, you know they have all those well known characters, of course like Spidey or Thor, well let's put them in a game. Cool! So who's first? Shuma-Gorath Who? Seriously wierd choice seeing as he's been in about 6 comics. Dhalsim gets the nod for being the original wierdo. More than Blanka? A wild beastman although novel had been around before, you had the Hulk, Werewolves, Beastman from MOTU or the stories of feral children found in forests raised by wolves, so you could see where the inspiration for Blanka came from. Dhalsim on the other hand is the only fighter I can think of who uses Yoga, his stretching limbs (inspired by an incredibly obscure martial arts film) and fire breathing were unusual and then he learned to teleport, so yeah I find him more distinct and wierd than Blanka, plus he is still unique today. Name another martial arts fighter who uses Yoga? |

How about Master Hand in Super Smash Brothers? Comes across as pretty weird and lame.

Besides that glitch in "Melee", I don't think Master Hand would count, as he was purely a boss throughout the series. I'm only saying this because she was contradictary to a series in which ever female fighter was half-naked and had jiggling breasts, but Nicole-458 (the Halo crossover character) looked odd in "Dead of Alive 4" because she was fully-clad in armor. |

No one should be that effective against the greatest fighters in the world handcuffed. |

Another one from Def Jam Fight For NY: Jacob Arabo (Or Jacob The Jeweler)
Here's why: Compare to the other fighters in the game, he's probably the most random, same goes for the fact that he is one of the funnier inclusions as a playable character even for the shop guys. Let's talk about the shop guys:
-Henry Rollins- Enough said. The guy is already badass and is supposed to be a trainer.
-Snowman- He was a fighter in the first game and it made sense for him to be playable.
-Manny- See Snowman.
-Stingray- Okay, he was kind of a funny playable character more for the fact that when you get messages on the voicemail, same with getting your haircut, he seems like a really nice guy who wouldn't hurt someone, but when you see him fight, he has a funny pre-fight quote, same with his post-fight quote.
The thing about Jacob is that he fights in a suit, he's not that great of a playable character (Though good enough for pros at the game to one-up another player with one of the worst fighters), and it just seems weird. However, he is not a bad fighter in the game. The two worst fighters in the game were the cops, Jervis and Starks, I think.
Also, in Def Jam Vendetta, the strange ones were Sketch (A wildman) and Chukklez (A clown, though it said he was a pro wrestler, so I guess being a clown was his gimmick) Actually, a lot of the fictional characters in that game were pretty cartoony.

He appeared in BOTH Just Bring It and (I believe) a Def Jam game. Correct me if I'm wrong. He wasn't in a Def Jam game. Speaking of which, Def Jam Fight For NY had Suspect, who was just some dark gray guy who didn't talk and had maxed out stats. Also, he was seen in the opening scene when D-Mob was being helped to escape, as well as the body type for your created character. Yeah, Fred Durst was in Fight Club, if I recall, not one of the Def Jam games. |

I was under the impression that he WAS in some fighting game besides Just Bring It, and the only thing that came to my mind was the Def Jam series. |
