    Many years ago on the channel I made a video for Spooky Season talking about Scary Fighting Game Characters, and I figure its due for a bit of an update and lets change around some of the characters we talk about. So in Honour of Halloween lets talk about some Scary Characters in Fighters! Our Genre is cursed that scary usually means messed up gameplay mechanics, but there's a lot of flair and soul in some of these characters so lets talk about what makes them creepy!

    Hisako is honestly one of the most clever examples of a scary horror themed character to come out of fighting games for one very distinct reason: she's a grappler, the archetype based around making opponents fear the grab and the options that come with that. While she's certainly not the most orthodox take on the archetype (her dash alone makes her very distinct from other grapplers), basically every unique system she has incentivizes that fear response along side her grabs (Wrath making hits more deadly, her delayed linkers punishing players for panicing once she gets a hit, her air slash special splatting airborne opponents back into her grasp, parries to punish panic options, etc.), and its great

    Kusaregedo is terrifying especially when you consider that he ate the entire population of Sado Island (based on his stage) and even his own daughter. I was kinda sad that he didn't make a return in SamSho 2019

      Same here, and instead, we got the Dumbass Warden and stupid bunnygirl that nobody asked for but SNK themselves (which is the real reason why I stopped playing it all together because it was a lazy corporate cash-grab). Hopefully, in a future Samsho game, the hungry ghost (along with some many others) will come back with no cringey online multi-player or mobile game guest characters (i don't want to see anyone from For Honor, Apex Legends, Overwatch, Call of Duty, Fortnite, Honor of Kings, and Raid Shadow Legends getting crapped onto another game again).

    11:40 Another fun fact about Q-Bee is that not only is her face fake, her mouth is as well.
    Her real mouth is when her face fully rips open. Although there is no artwork of this scenery anywhere, it is described that her face splits open vertically to reveal her real mouth.

      You can see that in Q-Bee's sprite when she is eletrocuted

    It’s either him or whatever fighting game Boss or Terrifying Normal that gives you PTSD (for me it’s God Rugal)!

    You could have picked anyone from Darkstalkers for this video, so no character from that game is a wrong choice. But I would have picked Demetri. The grab where he turns any character into a female in a "sexy" dress then steals their life force Is on the top of the list for me. Coming in close second for me Is Jedah using your bloody body to stamp the contract to your soul was totally brutal to me.

    Kusaregedo wins by a mile, and it's not helped by the fact his fatality (or however the lethal finishers were called in SamSho) is eating you alive offscreen.
    Relius gets a mention just for being "bad ending man". You saw that guy in your Blazblue story mode, you were heading straight to some horrific shit, but nothing really communicates this in gameplay

    Surprised that Baby Bonnie Hood wasn't the choice of scariest Darkstalkers' character. She fullfills the "deception" part that Q-Bee does too.
    But in a game where most of the characters are monsters or monstrous in some way, it's a human girl who is the worst one. Unlike Q-Bee, who is little more than a supernatural predator who kills to feed, Bonnie kills for the sake of pleasure & simple sport, and takes a special kind of sadistic joy in pretending to be a defenseless girl before she brutally slaughters her victims. The profit she earns as a Darkhunter is just a side bonus.
    She is basically a really twisted version of a monster who lures in human prey by mimicking another human in distress. Except that she IS a human. A human acting like a monster, rather than a monster attempting to act as a human.

    A.B.A actually gave me unsettling vibes just by seeing her moveset back in GGX2, as she can make a blood pact with her key that gives it a more demonic appearance, while she herself becomes more erratic.

    Lilith. The answer is Lilith. Yes, the other characters might kill you, and maybe even kill you painfully, but Lilith would mutilate you slowly and gleefully. She might use your intestine as a feather boa just for the LOLs. She might rip your limbs off to use as maracas. She might take your eyes just because they look pretty.
    And as you lay there twitching in agony, she would look down on you in a mixture of disappointment, worry, and confusion. And she would ask, "Why aren't you playing with me any more?" You see, Lilith is a masochistic lunatic, and she doesn't comprehend how anyone else would not enjoy being tortured and maimed.
    Lilith has win quotes like: Beautiful eyes. Please give them to me." And: "I like pain because it gradually turns into pleasure." Just listen to the way she screams when she takes damage. Yes, it is a scream of pain, but listen closer. It is also a scream of surprised delight. Now realize that she can duplicate herself. She can morph her wings into axe blades, impaling spikes, and drills.
    Understand that she can do whatever she feels like, and remember that her super jump is a literal jump scare. You, as a mere human, cannot escape. If you ever catch her attention, you had better throw something, anything, in a desperate hope that she gets distracted by it and forgets about you long to enough to escape. Because Lilith is truly, utterly terrifying.

    No Super is as scary as Rasputin's Secret Garden from World Heroes Perfect 😁
    There are fates worse than death 😅

    While not physically that scary bedman? Is perhaps the most existentially terrifying fighting game character
    Is the bed moving on its own or is it possessed by Romeo? The game has evidence that swings both ways but still don’t provide a solid answer, combine that with a theme that’s about Romeo confronting his death in Xrd and how even the theme is open ended and could either end in a way where he’s reborn as the bed or his spirit just fades away and you got a fighter who gets more terrifying the more you think about it
