- Опубліковано 29 лис 2024
- Everyone loves a good edgy character from time to time. At one point they were the cool guys. Then they became cliché. And now they’re generally beloved when the edge is balanced just right. Fighting Games are no strangers to edgy characters, having those ruthless character that dress in a dark aesthetic and want no part in society. It’s time to look at these darker fighting game characters and see who has the sharpest edge.

Iori Yagami is literally the OG edgelord, nothing tops him.
Testament from Guilty Gear would like to accept that challenge
Virgil would like to know your location
@@TotalWeapon26 you mean vergil from DMC? He doesn't count cause he's not originally from a fighting game
@@o_oro-q1k fair comment, how about Dante in the context of marvel v capcom?
@@TotalWeapon26 Dante is not edgy
_"I will destroy you."_
*~ The guy who’s literally called "Noob"*
"Ur parents dead lol"
~ scrub saibot
_"I wouldn’t allow female Lin Kuei"_
*~ Based Saibot*
The character’s name came from one of the people who worked on the game, Tobias Boon. “Noob Saibot” is his name backwards
@@unreal727 I’m aware.
We call him Bi-Han
Iori actually dislikes violence. Despite the edginess, he has some of the coolest themes in KOF!
@Aleksa Kurtovic Usually edgy refers to characters with a *ridiculously* dark past, nearly laughable.
They tend to use phrases like "life is meaningless, I'll destroy everything, friendship? Nothing more than a shallow bond that will eventually break"
Waaaaay too dramatic.
A dark character isn't necessarily that, they have shitty life all right, but still down to earth.
But I do agree with you to a certain extent.
Iori is only chill when he's doing his own thing, but if you are Kyo, Iori wants nothing more than your death.
@ana
Yes, it sounds crazy, I know.
@@Mjwara I'm still in disbelief that Iori hates violence but this boi is just.. Demolish.
he dislikes violence? either he's really really good at lying to himself, or SNK didn't do a good job writing him

Top 10 laughs in fighting games.
Bryan Fury (classic T3/T4)
Iori Yagami
Sagat
Shao Kahn, his laugh is literally a special move.
Karin's laugh from Street Fighter
@@krufo Ron from KoF 2001 (as a Striker for Zero)
Jedah from Darkstalkers
Bryan Fury is one of a kind for me
Akuma is the Edgy Ryu....
Uhhhh....🤔
:Looks at Kage:
YEP
XD
The fact you chose Kage over Evil Ryu and ignored the part where he even talks about Evil Ryu disgusts me.
@@callmetravesty8762 Evil Ryu has a complex character duality with Ryu because of the Satsui No Hado. As for Kage... he's just an Edgy character no one takes seriously, not even Ryu!
@@trainzen11 kage is the satsui no hado that was inside of Ryu after he overcomes it. He's the Ryu version of Oni
@@AdamSmasherReal Ah, guess I was mistaken, good to know ty!
Surprised that neither Skullgirls’ Valentine nor Soul Caliber’s Tira made the list. Tira especially; Nightmare is a standard demon enemy when it comes down to it, but Tira is a damaged psychopath that loves and willingly serves a semi-sentient evil sword. Edgiest in the series by far.
When a female character is edgy, they're considered kewl. Calling them out for being edgeladies will get you accused of sexism, apparently.
I'm surprised to that skullgirls is featured in any other of his list but this one and also skullgirls is a pretty edgy fighter when you look at it on the level of darkstalkers of edgiest
Tira and Nightmare are tied, they are an edgy power couple.
I love Edgy Characters, they're the kind of characters that we can take serious with.
If we're talking try-hard edgelords too, then: I beg to differ with your opinion, sir.
Liu Kang true
@@liukang4520 when it's overdone it's meme estate when you find a healthy balance i.e. Ghost rider punisher it can be enjoyable
That's why these characters exist. They're made to appeal to people with bad taste like you.
For me it+s the complete opposite, I can´t, just can´t take an edgelord seriously.
My favorite quote from Nightmare is, "I will show you the greatest nightmare!"
17:44 Iori Yagami dislikes Violence as told by SNK Wiki.
That is true. As mentioned, he doesn't like confrontation and will not bother anyone who doesn't bother him first. However, when he's in a fight, he'll go all out, likely as a side effect from his Orochi blood. Perhaps violent wasn't the best word to use there, but he is brutal when he fights.
Did you know, there was CGI Animated Web Series called King of Fighters: Destiny, seen it or heard of it?
Edit: What's also very absolutely Shocking is that Irori's last name *Yagami* is *I'm-a-gay* spelled Backwards, does that leave you speechless, if so then I'm really sorry.
@Dharc Slayer just piss him off, and hell breaks loose
@Dharc Slayer a _lawful neutral_ perhaps?
He may not like brutality or senseless violent, like everything Rugal does
One specific detail on Iori that I absolutely love is that, despite his feral fighting style, he actively dislikes violence, but he only acts so vicious just to get it over and done with.
I'd normally say all these characters just need is a hug, but I think some of them are beyond needing a hug. You don't push over kids, Yagami!
Also, PINK ONI! That's the best Oni Costume.
And a Corgian cameo! Corgian should be in everything.
How do I hear your voice even in text!!! lol
something tells me this makes you think of Edgeworth from Phoenix Wright
I mean theres a chance youd survive a hug with akuma but im not willing to find out how much
@ I love you, too!
@@gilessaint-loup2426 I'm just that good
Raven from Guilty Gear was actually named after the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWoBHM) band of the same name.
Wait till he finds out that all GG characters are music references
Iori and K' fighting for the Edgiest KoF character spot.
I'd give Freeman from Garou: Mark of the Wolves and "honorable mention" but besides that, pretty solid list.
Someone suggested psychopath characters and that's who jumped out in my mind
Personally I hate the word "Edgy" these days. Its one of many overused words on the internet and people seem to love using it to describe anything that is even a little bit Dark or gorey Or use it to describe something they hate.
As for the video it was very good and very well done as usual.
Thanks! I generally prefer the terms dark or brooding, too. Since most people pitched this as "edgy fighting game characters," I went with that, but in a way, it fits your description too since some of these characters are a lot less dark than others, yet still get the edgy tag.
@@MrTopTenList No problem mate. :)
Exceedingly with you, dawg.
You Hate Edgy Guys who Hate Everyone.
@@unclepaul1995 I hate guys who hates edgy guys who hates everybody
Note: Even though Iori is blunt, serious, and rude, he's a good man who hates violence, plays a bass guitar in a band, and loves cats. Also, he isn't evil. He has been through a lot, so he hides his emotions so no one understands him for his only enjoyment is making Kyo suffer. But, he is one of those people you wanna feel sorry for after he's been through a lot and give him a hug, as long as you don't piss him off of course.

Idea: top 10 narcissistic fighting game characters
Vega should be on the list
"Let my beauty intoxicate you"
Johnny Cage will be #1
Someone send MrTopTenList a box of bandaids.
You definitely need to do, top 10 Military characters in fighting games.
I've had that idea in my head for awhile. Could be in the future!
@@MrTopTenList Bruddah, if you do commit to the idea for a list like that, don't- and I say- I say: dooooooOOOOOOooooon't give us the obvious ones like Guile and Jax and shit, ya' 'eard?
I’ll Go with Deadpool.
Yungdaggerdick he'll probably make it as characters who first appeared in video games
The edge is strong with this list. I'd like to bring up a few characters that you don't need to believe but I feel Guile from SF is one of the edgiest and most american character I've seen. So he's been kicking ass since the '90s saying go home and be a family man and constantly ignoring his family in the sake of "justice" and "revenge". The thing is Akuma might want to assert his dominace with the ability to make the background T-Pose (yes I know what it really is) but in the end he just wanna fight. Akuma may say he wanna kill but does he shirk his responsibility (other than to his children) for this "power" and tell people to live a non warrior life? I swear it'll like Hey ya all over again lol.
Guile is so edgy he combs his hair or put on shades showing the disrespect.
One more person to add to the list Seto Kaiba because of Jump Force...he crushed an container and fired a guy for making the container too weak. Think about popping a balloon and being mad because you could.
Remy fits the bill more imo.
T-pose raging demon
One hell of a flex.
I'm gonna refer to raging demon as Akuma T-pose from now on
I see iori I hit like......one of the best characters ever made. He's a total beast. His quotes and lines while fights, his moves, his fighting style, his powers and everything. He's also a broken person inside but still manages to keep himself strong and confident on the outside. What an incredible character man. 🙌

Ryuji Yamazaki and Tira

6:10 The color of the yellow ninja and his cloak are literally the same.
I always thought Nash is an Edgelord after being Revived as a Zombie.
That's a good one! The new stance and the super move definitely alone put him in the edgy category.
@@MrTopTenList SFV gives Establish Characters new looks to keep them fresh.
90% of nightmares vocabulary is the word darkness. I used to love him as a teen but now in my 30s, I roll my eyes every time he speaks.
nah he has never stopped being cool. He's literally the perfect design.
kudos for not picking Ragna like everyone else does without thinking. But Imma have to deduct points for ignoring the character who is literally incapable of clarity.
Who might that be?
I’m with you on wanting to see more of Akuma’s non-aggressive side
Teroomy?... seriously?
about Akuma and giving fruit to the hungry boy... canonicly, Akuma is a fruit trader since the boy gives him money for the fruits
So the man who seeks strenght beyond anything... is selling fruits for a living? Is akuma even evil or just chaotic neutral?
@@returnedtomonkey8886 He’s actually a pretty decent guy. He only fights to the death against very strong opponents and even refused to fight Gen when he found out Gen was dying of cancer.
@@returnedtomonkey8886 you can't eat evil for a living bro
@@ultralowspekken
M Bison seems to
“Uncle Akuma” I’m imagining Ken inviting everyone over for the most awkward holiday dinner
Nice work for putting Genjuro, Terumi, Carmine, Raven and Iori on the list. But what about Scharlachrot, Tatari-Sion, Bloody Marie and/or even Shadow Labrys?
Iori Yagami is super chill until you do anything with, near, by, for him.
Or just be Kyo Kusanagi
@jacksonkingdom1471 He just really hates Kyo's guts. Their families have been feuding for generations, but Iori couldn't care less about the feud. He just wants to prove his strength over Kyo and move on with his day.
Top 10 scariest characters in fighting games. Oooh very scary 🎃👻👻
I think Freeman From Garou Mark of the Wolves should’ve been on the list.
Edit: Iori plays the BASS not guitar.
"And so, birthed from the critical pilar, and from Robotnik's Twitter account, I'm Hot Topic."
-Ryan Mtchum as Shadow the Hedgehog
Top 10 Reptiles in Fighting Games, basically any character with reptile-like skin, moves and just plain dinosaurs, iike Lizard-Man on Soul Calibur, Reptile of MK, Hauzer from Red-Earth and playable on Capcom Fighting Evolution
, Riptor from Killer Instinct, Busuzima from Bloody Roar, Etc.
Riptor from Killer In9is nr 1 because it's literally a dinosaur.
Iori Yagami always been edgy, even before we use the term "edgy" itself.
Iori yagami is the ultimate edgy character
Honorable mention: Freeman from Garou Mark of the Wolves
17:00 Devil Gene... The EDGE chromosome? XD
One of these days you gotta do a Top Nine best quotes from Fighting Games. I mean, it should be _obvious_ why it would only be a Top 9 - we ALL know No.1 would be "This fiend will have your butt," so the *best* any other line could do would be to come in as a distant second, lol ;)
I personally believe that Iori just likes to being efficient with his attacks, inflicting cutting damage it's more effective in making an enemy want to run away or to die.
Which for Iori are definitely the preferable outcomes in a fight.
Iori should've been number 1, he's by far the edgiest fighting game character ever.
Your videos are so relaxing to watch.
Thank you!
@@MrTopTenList Anytime 👍
Setsuna from The Last Blade series would've been a good choice.

I wont stop til this happens
Nightmare's SCIV design is still my favourite to this day...it's just so edgy, but completely unique among his designs while still being recognizable...and it's so f**king *cool...it definitely has the vibe of being his "ultimate" form, like Night Terror but less feral.
You made me realize
I don't pick my mains cause they're evil.
I pick them cause they're edgy.

Speaking of anti-heroes, the top 10 anti-heroes in fighting games should be be a great idea........also welcome back, MrTopTenList!!!
Agreed
Shadow of the Northstar indeed 👍🤘👍
Yagami is so relateable, all he wants is to play guitar with his band but when he breaks loose he'll go ballistic
"ONI"
kage is offended lol.
This just came up in my inbox and everything makes sense. Amazing as always.
Top ten supers in fighting games. I’d love to see that bro
I think Testament from guilty gear is the edgiest character I've ever saw in my life but also the others are worthy
Zato 1
Basara From Samurai Shodown Isn’t On This List? WHAT?!
Both Genjuro and Carmine are my fav characters in their games
I guess my recommendation is Top 10 Rabbits, Rabbit inspired or Rabbit themed characters in fighting games or gaming in general.
Top 10 disturbing creatures in non horror games -
Majora (Majora's Mask), 0² / Zero Two (Kirby), Ing (Metroid Prime 2), etc.

Iori is the new of my favorite game characters
Awww... No Freeman from Mark of the wolves???
Oh frick, yes.
Iori and KOF in general deserve more love.
I'm buying the figure "Orochi Iori" from Storm Collectibles.
Noob & Nightmare are my go to guys in their respective games.
My favorite things they’ve said:
Noob: “Death comes to all”
Nightmare: “Darkness...Give me Darkness”
Astonishing as always see you in the next video
Thanks!
Very well done
Think you'll ever do top 10 demon/monster hunters in video games? (Claudio from Tekken, Dante from DMC, Father Cortes from Hunter the Reckoning, etc)?
Agree, Nightmare was My Childhood Mane in SC2! BTW, I guessing someone Going to say “oh it you” again.
Nightmare could transform into Night Terror right???
@@joshualowe959 too OP.
If Terumi is edgy, then Susano'o should have been edgier.
Susanoo os just, Me tired of shit, me kill, me smash, me God ... Terumi is mory about awww, does It hurt? i think Terumi is way edgier.
@@jorge4572 Susanoo is just tired of "you, this world, and all its bullshit laws"
In all seriousness he's just angry big man sick of everything and hellbent on ruining his sister's shit, Terumi is definitely edgier and youre right in every way
Top 10 claw fighters in fighting games. (With claw like weapons, like Vega, Wolverine, Rain etc)
Anyone remember doing "RPs" on internet forums in the olden days? Half the characters were pure edgelords.
Noob Saibot's shadow clone is actually a cyborg called Smoke, giving new meaning to the dynamic "Smoking Kills."
The street fighter alpha artwork of akuma is a reference to the street fighter 2 animated movie where akuma made a cameo appearance in the background
OG Siegfried (Soul Edge) was kinda edgy too. He killed his father and then became an amnesiac hunting for 'the real killer.'
Nameless still is the edgiest snk character of all time.
Idk y u did terumi when susanooh is literally edge incarnate. Even his theme song is call “Must Die” you don’t get edgeier than that.

Glad you're enjoying everything! Ash gets mentioned sometimes in entries since he likes to get involved in plotlines of other characters, but I'm sure what list he would top. I guess time will tell.
@@MrTopTenList I will look forward to
Instantly thought of Iori. He’s just so damn cool
Overrated KOF character nevertheless
@@liukang4520 Then who's underrated?
@@chrisrockett5897 Mah niggggga Duo Lon.
@@liukang4520 I don't know who the heck this dude is (or at least I don't think I know), so yeah, I might look up some lore on him.
@@liukang4520
Duo Lon lmfao yeah I remember him.
He uses actual spirits and stuff
have you done top 10s for the largest and smallest fighting game characters?
I haven't yet, but that idea is always on the table for a potential video!
I would've included Dharkon from Smash Ultimate. Like geez, his goal is literally "kill everyone and extinguish all light in the universe" and he's a giant evil eyeball with evil tendrils.
Fun fact about Carmine, he actually doesn't manipulate blood, it's magical red crystals, but he mistakenly believes it's his own blood. The self damage he takes is a placebo effect. He's also written as kind of a goober that no one really takes seriously, much to his consternation. He's like a satirical parody of edgy characters and it's funny.
Before Raven, there is Testament for Guilty Gear rep. I mean, can you get any edgier than his Death Metal antic and his name is based on a Heavy Metal band?
Mahler from fighting vipers he's edgy cause he's a god dang cobra even though I never play as him
His older brother B.M. is even more edgy, and more powerful since he is the game's boss. Mahler's design was also changed in Fighters Megamix, getting rid of his snake armour in favour of a tailcoat, to better differentiate the two characters.
Sitting here seeing Iori as number 2. Thinking who the heck is number 1? Nightmare. Oh okay makes sense now.
