Regardless of how good someone could be with Yoda it doesn’t change that he’s still considered by many that followed or played competitive SC4 to be one of, if not, the single worst character in the game.
Other characters that could fit the bill: 1. Gon (Tekken 3 PS1): Ridiculously tiny, poor reach, and underwhelming moveset that does the character no justice whatsoever. The only way to win is to take advantage of his tiny size... if you can even get close. 2. Yooka & Laylee (Brawlout): On paper, their moveset in that game is not bad, but one of their gimmicks is absolutely useless in Brawlout and would benefit more in a game like Smash. Yooka has a gimmick move called Slurp State, where Yooka can eat a projectile with his tongue and enter a special state where he can fire projectiles based on what he eats. The Problem? Almost nobody in Brawlout can use projectiles, making Slurp State useful only when fighting a specific character other than themselves. The tongue could've been used for something else like grabbing ledges (Lizard Lash) or grabbing opponents, which is actually how the tongue works in Mighty Fight Federation, another fighting game that Yooka & Laylee appear in.
Yo why the disrespect for Dan on this? He's supposed to be a complete joke. It's saying something when Sakura insulted him in his ending in Pocket Fighter
I managed to beat one of my mates who is much better than me at Street Fighter by using Dan because he was the only character who he didn't know the 'tells' of so he couldn't anticipate my every move.
@Trialwolf oh, my bad. My comment was supposed to be a joke. I prefer playing as Ryu or Ken because, well, yeah, Dan is really useless by Street Fighter standards. Couldn't even beat Alpha 3 as Dan
One I can think of is Suwako Moriya from Touhou Hisoutensoku. A big part of her low tier status is due to just how odd her movement is, jumping around like a frog.
+2000 hr TTT2 Vet here. Bosconovitch's inclusion on this list is simultaneously laughably ignorant and wholey unfunny. Appropriately oxyMORONIC though. I'd rather fight a dozen button mashing eddys than a skilled Doctor B.
Is the copyright correct for the Yoda entry? Although EA now have the rights to Star Wars games, the game footage on display is from the SoulCalibur series which is BandaiNamco...
Maybe my memory is wrong but I remember Yoda to be quite strong. He had very fast moves and you had to change your entire playstyle since haöf of your attacks would simply miss due to his small height
My worst character in fighting games is Ryoko Kano from Fighter's History Dynamite (AKA Karnov's Revenge) She is bottom tier, and is one of the characters I like and play 😅 The saddest part is that Ryoko was a solid character in the original Fighter's History In Dynamite, she got nerfed, there are stronger characters and the increase speed of the sequel didn't help her at all... As I said, I like Ryoko, she is cool and pretty Wish she appears in a new game as a guest alongside Mizoguchi, but she really needs a rework for her gameplay Trivias Ryoko Kano is the first female grappler in fighting games There is another character named Ryoko (Izumo), from the World Heroes series Ryoko Kano and Ryoko Izumo were inspired on real life ex judo champion Ryoko Tani, and Yawara Inokuma the protagonist of the manga/anime YAWARA! Makoto (Street Fighter) was inspired by Ryoko Kano
Her big issue is just how limited her options are. She doesn't really have any anti-air or any reliable ways of getting in on the opponent besides her mobility, yet the vast majority of her moves are grapples except for her Vega-esque roll attack. She is one of the few characters who can defeat an opponent before the pinch music plays, though.
@baalfgames5318 True Her long distance throw is supposed to be useful but it makes so little damage in Dynamite... Even her close throw was nerfed in Dynamite, it made more damage in the original Fighter's History! Her weak point is also a problem, it is on her head and because she is short it is easy to hit! Marstorius is a much better grappler than Ryoko Again, I like Ryoko, she is one of my favorite characters but she needs a rework in her moveset I just wish she had a rework
Loved using Yoda in SoulCaliber, he was the only character that couldnt be grappled, so people had to use strikes instead of spamming grapples all fight, but yoda could still grapple
Dr. B's moves clearly don't do self damage on the footage used. I'm surprised to see the Bleach DS games mentioned! Those two games really liked to go with some obscure and minor joke characters to finish off an on the whole quite good roster.
That intro feels a lot like outsidexbox/whatculture x) Also to be fair most of these characters are weak on purpose+ I never really felt that rock was that bad 0o
Yoda ruined Soul Calibur 4, more so. Can't use half of the moves on him, doesn't fit into the lore and isn't even optional on 360. Plus the game will never get re-released with the whole Star Wars stuff 👎
I'll agree on Yoda being a pretty terrible character, but Dan, Hercule, Servbot, and Yuichi are meant to be joke characters for comedic purposes. No joke, Darth Vader, and the Acolyte are literally nightmares if used properly in Soul Calibur 4 (Acolyte being the most busted in the game.)
So you're telling me by picking Gannon as my main, I was ACTUALLY making my victories even MORE sweet!? How delicious. The thing I love about Hercule/Mr. Satan is he canonically saves the universe with his charisma. And, you know, a harmless lie. And speaking of the Buu Saga: 15:16 Is that Babidi's ship background in a Bleach game?
Hercule might be played as a joke but he really is one of the best martial artists in the world. The only humans who are stronger than him are Krillin Roshi and possibly ChiChi
I'm surprised UMVC's Hsien-Ko isnt in this list. Her mobility is absolutely terrible, her only projectile is entirely RNG based, and her only good super is only ever used to get her decent Assist to be invincible. Even other terrible characters in that game like Nemesis, She Hulk, and Phoenix Wright have professional players who use them. Hsien-ko has 1 player who only seems to use her to keep the Darkstalker's theme in tact.
This barely scratches the surface of bad fighting game characters, it’s more like “worst characters in otherwise good fighting games.” There are a lot of fighting games out there especially from the ‘90s that are literally nothing but bad characters who’d make anyone on this list look like Terry Bogard.
For 3D fighting games your not gonna top Zombie on spawn in the Demons hand on Arcade and Dreamcast. Hes the slowest,weakest,only has 2 attacks and can not pick up weapons im not sure it is possible to beat the games final boss with him and that thing has 1 hit point.
I would rather play as Dan than Sodom, I have never been good at 360 stick moves. Knowing you can't rely on fireballs, Dan's others moves are just fine.
Lol ganondrof is OP as fuck in Smash Bro Melee, he's the powerful character in it, yes not the fast but the hardest hitting one, I think you guys missed this list fully up
At least it's not as bad as dio from shonen jump he literally can't fight in any arena in the daytime because well he's a fucking vampire so if you pick a broad daylight situation stage your opponent which is a main with dio won't be able to use him
Umm…Rock Howard may not be the best character in Garou (A name you mispronounced…which tells us all we need to know)…but to put him on the list as one of the WORST characters in ALL fighting games? I don’t think you’ve EVER played as Rock Howard before 😂
I think my worst character is definitely the prince from Tekken 7 I mean he's a final fantasy character that uses swords when everyone else is using their hands he should have been in soul calibur not in Tekken
@@sirloinestakegames7866 I mean he's a main stay and he only uses one blade noctis whole build including his rage art is about his swords and plus yoshimitos does use physical attacks in the earlier games aswell plus noctis uses moves that belong more in a weapon based fighting game he would of fit in mortal Kombat deadly alliance
@@MotorstormHQ SC4 Maxi is garbage in high-level with weak dmg outputs and too many minus (on block) moves, if you want OP it's Yoshimitsu, Kilik, Amy, HIlde, Algol, and even Sophie.
Yoda was a huge miss in SC4 I would have been better instead of yoda why not anakin, Obi wan or Luke my guess is that due to likeness rights and Bandai namco doesn’t want to pay more to fox/ lucasfilms at the time
Yoda was a fucking menace if you got good with him.
Regardless of how good someone could be with Yoda it doesn’t change that he’s still considered by many that followed or played competitive SC4 to be one of, if not, the single worst character in the game.
Next do the weirdest characters in fighting games
Voldo has entered the chat.
And Yoshimitsu helicopters in right after.
Voldo was my first thought, but also Xanadu from King of Fighters XIV.
Meat from mortal kombat armageddon
@@mr.saturn7703 He's quite the opponent to meat in battle.
Dan is for players who want to use a shoto but think winning with the others is too easy.
That sounds like Low Tier God.
He did use Dan in SF4 and 5.
Doctor Bosconovitch first appeared in Tekken 3, which is canonical!
together with Gon
Wanna know how I know you weren't listening to the words being spoken?
My worst character in a fighting game is Johnny Cage. Because that bastard got me in the junk and I will never forget it. 😡
Other characters that could fit the bill:
1. Gon (Tekken 3 PS1): Ridiculously tiny, poor reach, and underwhelming moveset that does the character no justice whatsoever. The only way to win is to take advantage of his tiny size... if you can even get close.

Yo why the disrespect for Dan on this? He's supposed to be a complete joke. It's saying something when Sakura insulted him in his ending in Pocket Fighter
Well they did say Joke characters would be included in the intro.
I managed to beat one of my mates who is much better than me at Street Fighter by using Dan because he was the only character who he didn't know the 'tells' of so he couldn't anticipate my every move.
@Trialwolf oh, my bad. My comment was supposed to be a joke. I prefer playing as Ryu or Ken because, well, yeah, Dan is really useless by Street Fighter standards. Couldn't even beat Alpha 3 as Dan
I lowkey really liked Dan. I'll die on that hill
Dan I actually used in Alpha because he was great in close range.
One I can think of is Suwako Moriya from Touhou Hisoutensoku. A big part of her low tier status is due to just how odd her movement is, jumping around like a frog.
What's more crazy is one of the original creators of Street Fighter made Art of Fighting.
+2000 hr TTT2 Vet here. Bosconovitch's inclusion on this list is simultaneously laughably ignorant and wholey unfunny. Appropriately oxyMORONIC though. I'd rather fight a dozen button mashing eddys than a skilled Doctor B.
Is the copyright correct for the Yoda entry?
Although EA now have the rights to Star Wars games, the game footage on display is from the SoulCalibur series which is BandaiNamco...
EA lost its exclusivity rights to Star Wars games in 2023.
Maybe my memory is wrong but I remember Yoda to be quite strong. He had very fast moves and you had to change your entire playstyle since haöf of your attacks would simply miss due to his small height
My worst character in fighting games is Ryoko Kano from Fighter's History Dynamite (AKA Karnov's Revenge)

Trivias
Ryoko Kano is the first female grappler in fighting games

Ryoko Kano and Ryoko Izumo were inspired on real life ex judo champion Ryoko Tani, and Yawara Inokuma the protagonist of the manga/anime YAWARA!

Wtf are you saying, all Starwars Characters in Soul Calibur was OP as fuck
No, they’re not. None of them ever cracked the top 10 of the SC4 cast in the competitive meta lmao.
Loved using Yoda in SoulCaliber, he was the only character that couldnt be grappled, so people had to use strikes instead of spamming grapples all fight, but yoda could still grapple
He's op as fuck and not bad character at all
Dr. B is the goat!!
His unpredictability is his best skill 😅
You could kinda cheat with him in Tekken 3 and just falling over and win by time out if you was fighting some who could not hit him on the floor lol.
4:00 This is why I rock with TripleJump. They don’t just refer to what’s popular or mainstream. This is a deep cut fr fr. 👏🏿👌🏿
Dr. B's moves clearly don't do self damage on the footage used.
I'm surprised to see the Bleach DS games mentioned! Those two games really liked to go with some obscure and minor joke characters to finish off an on the whole quite good roster.
Allmost all Bosconovich moves are safe for him. And if someone can play him he can be unstoppable.
Idk about yoda man we may have been kids but I used to RUN the living room with yoda
That intro feels a lot like outsidexbox/whatculture x)
Also to be fair most of these characters are weak on purpose+ I never really felt that rock was that bad 0o
being 8 years old is no excuses, Git Gud
Naaaah Rock Howard does not belong on this list wtf
Yoda ruined Soul Calibur 4, more so. Can't use half of the moves on him, doesn't fit into the lore and isn't even optional on 360. Plus the game will never get re-released with the whole Star Wars stuff 👎
I'm just glad you guys didn't use this list as an excuse for more overplayed jabs on Yamcha.
He's suffered enough...
I'll agree on Yoda being a pretty terrible character, but Dan, Hercule, Servbot, and Yuichi are meant to be joke characters for comedic purposes. No joke, Darth Vader, and the Acolyte are literally nightmares if used properly in Soul Calibur 4 (Acolyte being the most busted in the game.)
Imagine losing to someone that was using Dan and you were using Akuma and they got a perfect win without getting any damage 😅
So you're telling me by picking Gannon as my main, I was ACTUALLY making my victories even MORE sweet!? How delicious.
The thing I love about Hercule/Mr. Satan is he canonically saves the universe with his charisma. And, you know, a harmless lie.

Abegen and I
Damn I main ganondorf since his release and usually do good.
Yeah he's op as fuck
dear god if Dan Hibiki is first on the list, we're in trouble
This barely scratches the surface of bad fighting game characters, it’s more like “worst characters in otherwise good fighting games.” There are a lot of fighting games out there especially from the ‘90s that are literally nothing but bad characters who’d make anyone on this list look like Terry Bogard.
Glad they’ve given a lot of love to Potemkin in Strive
Do Pichus really defeat Ganandorf?
Yoda was banned because he couldnt be grabbed.
This list became null and void the moment you put Rock Howard one of the most popular characters in SNK one of the WORST CHARACTERS in fighting games.
They were talking about Rock's actual performance in the game, peckerwood.
For 3D fighting games your not gonna top Zombie on spawn in the Demons hand on Arcade and Dreamcast. Hes the slowest,weakest,only has 2 attacks and can not pick up weapons im not sure it is possible to beat the games final boss with him and that thing has 1 hit point.
I think you mean Yoda is one of the BEST characters in fighting games
Yea I never played as him sadly because didn't buy him, I have on PS3 so only Vader
True by side Link in Soul calibur 2
I would rather play as Dan than Sodom, I have never been good at 360 stick moves. Knowing you can't rely on fireballs, Dan's others moves are just fine.
I think Dan being made to mock Ryo and Robert is hilarious considering Ryo and Robert’s creator ALSO created Ryu and Ken before he left Capcom 😂
Lol ganondrof is OP as fuck in Smash Bro Melee, he's the powerful character in it, yes not the fast but the hardest hitting one, I think you guys missed this list fully up
In tekken 3, Dr B is almost always fighting from the floor 😂
Naaaaah, I'll always have Servbot as one of my MVC 2 mains
Joke characters: Am I not a joke to you?
The comments about Ganondorf sound like a skill issue.
What no gon from tekken 3?
Wait does that Bleach kid have a giant cockatiel? Is that part of his moveset?
Rock Howard is definitely not a bad character lol
So many fighting games I’ve seen played and have from 1980-Now
Only coincidence that rooflemonger basically uploaded this same video last week?
Is it me or did the music get louder? As someone with hearing issues, its a touch off-putting against Peter's voice.
Yeh, does feel louder in this vid
Brawl Ganondorf is easily the worst version of him, he was SOOO slow
Everyone in Brawl was slow. Sonic was slow in Brawl.
I enjoy this channel, but your fighting game videos feel really surface level. I don’t think the writers know fighting games.
Dr Bosconovitch is far worse in Tekken 3.
At least it's not as bad as dio from shonen jump he literally can't fight in any arena in the daytime because well he's a fucking vampire so if you pick a broad daylight situation stage your opponent which is a main with dio won't be able to use him
Next do the 10 best characters in fighting games.
The list is here, that what you just did watch X3
I like Ganondorf in Smash! But I’m not on the competitive side.
Same here and yeah he's op
Dr B in tekken 3 is far worse than he is in tag 2
Backround music is annoying af.
Sanji is not that bad, he cant attack women but the game is not 1v1, you have other 2 characters to use
Umm…Rock Howard may not be the best character in Garou (A name you mispronounced…which tells us all we need to know)…but to put him on the list as one of the WORST characters in ALL fighting games? I don’t think you’ve EVER played as Rock Howard before 😂
They put a damn arena fighter character in here. Yoda was banned because he was hard to hit because he was so small.
I think my worst character is definitely the prince from Tekken 7 I mean he's a final fantasy character that uses swords when everyone else is using their hands he should have been in soul calibur not in Tekken
Noctis you mean?
@Ragingozzaru Is there any other prince in final fantasy 15 😂
I mean... Yoshimitsu? He's been in Tekken (and Soul Calibur) since the start so there's always been precedent.
@@sirloinestakegames7866 I mean he's a main stay and he only uses one blade noctis whole build including his rage art is about his swords and plus yoshimitos does use physical attacks in the earlier games aswell plus noctis uses moves that belong more in a weapon based fighting game he would of fit in mortal Kombat deadly alliance
This list seems like it's more for people who are just bad at fighting games.
Where's Roll in MvC 1 and 2?
Kai from mortal kombat 4 is pretty much useless.
Yoda is awful but he slightly ain't as bad as SC4 Maxi
Lol Maxi is OP as fuck to, I hate fighting him and Yoda was great
@@MotorstormHQ SC4 Maxi is garbage in high-level with weak dmg outputs and too many minus (on block) moves, if you want OP it's Yoshimitsu, Kilik, Amy, HIlde, Algol, and even Sophie.
Maybe a non fighting game player shouldn’t be making a list about the quality of characters… I’m weak bro 😂
Norimaru marvel vs street fighter
"Gah-row"
Oh ships cook lol I thought he said…
Yoda was a huge miss in SC4 I would have been better instead of yoda why not anakin, Obi wan or Luke my guess is that due to likeness rights and Bandai namco doesn’t want to pay more to fox/ lucasfilms at the time
A akin is in that game as darth vadar
@ I’m talking about him being separate to Vader like sieg & nightmare
No, he was fucking op and not miss, he could fight Vader
No thanks, I still hate that they did do that to Nightmare, he was far better before, give the old Nightmare back and remove Siegfried
I'd replace Dr. B. for Sebastian. He's nothing but a waste of a character slot with Lili's moveset.
Wow really using mugen most of its character broken or overpowered.
GUH-ROO
Dan Hibiki is great good players master him 😊
Hercule is a dig at Heihachi, right?
Not really. Hercule came first where his manga appearance was in 1992. Heihachi wouldn't debut til 1994 when Tekken 1 came to arcades.
Hercule is a dig at Steven Seagal, if anyone.
Rock howard?
The only thing worse than putting Rock Howard on this list is your pronunciation of "Garou".
I have to disagree with yoda
Why no Neko Arc?
Because she's top tier obviously
So everyone from the likes of War Gods are better than these characters?
Ganon Mains, this is a safe space for us to cry. 😭
👽
Dude, i had to increase the playback speed, too boring
Yeah dude it’s actually crazy how normal sounding he is at 1.5x
last. no more comments allowed. Great video 👍
first again,
smash brothers isnt a fighting game, hope this helps
How so? Platform fighters are still fighting games.
Doesn't.
It's not a brain tumor, you're just stupid. Hope this helps.
I'm pretty sure it is.
Yes and no, I would not call a normal fighter
