00:00Welcome to Mojo Plays and today we're counting down our picks for the worst
00:12fighters that made you work for the misfortune of playing as them. I am here
00:17to ask for your support in taking back our beloved city from crime and fear.
00:23Before we begin we publish new content all week long so be sure to subscribe
00:28and ring the bell to get notified about our latest videos.
00:32Hercule, Dragon Ball Z Budokai series. Whether you know him as Hercule or Mr.
00:41Satan it doesn't change the fact that he's one of the weakest characters
00:45across multiple Dragon Ball Z games. But when you have fighters that are
00:49essentially godlike in terms of power that shouldn't really be a surprise. The
00:54method for unlocking him varies between games but he's always been designated as
00:59the joke character. He has no powers therefore having a lower damage output
01:04than most everyone else. He had some decent combos and special moves even if
01:09they still highlighted his uselessness. However with some of the most famous
01:14anime characters of all time as an option we fail to see the appeal here.
01:23Hyena, The King of Fighters 2006.
01:34In so far his only playable appearance Hyena annoys not only other characters
01:40with his antics but also players with his clunky moveset. In the 2006
01:45installment of King of Fighters you can unlock him by beating the story mode 13
01:49times and the suitability of giving him the unlucky number is not lost on us.
01:54Despite having a couple decent special moves Hyena uses an incredibly awkward
02:00technique that will feel clumsy in your hands. One of his super moves is also
02:04fairly easy to predict and counter. He trips over himself before landing a high
02:08damage kick. If Hyena's combatant throws him while he's performing this special
02:13he's instantly KO'd.
02:20Deku, Fighters Megamix.
02:29Although most may not remember this Sega Saturn exclusive fighter it still has a
02:34pretty poor unlockable character in Deku. The Mexican being in a marachi
02:39outfit is just the type of borderline racism we'd expect from a late 90s game.
02:44But even still he's just not an interesting fighter. His moveset is
02:49lifted entirely from one of the other characters. He isn't even an amalgamation
02:54character like other fighters of the time used to include. He's also just a
02:58bit weaker which really only makes him a handicap for those that want it. All in
03:03all Deku is just lazy.
03:08Dan Hibiki, Street Fighter series. When players think of joke characters in
03:17fighting games it's likely Street Fighter's Dan is the first that comes to
03:21mind and for good reason. Capcom literally created him as a joke in
03:26retaliation against Art of Fighting, an SNK fighter that ripped off Ken and Ryu.
03:30Regardless, Dan has long been a silly but expected inclusion available to
03:36unlock in several games. His moveset is essentially a much less impressive
03:40version of Ken and Ryu's with short range attacks and measly Hadoukens. That
03:45actually fits perfectly with his overconfident but cowardly persona.
03:49However, Dan has still managed to gather quite the following over the years. That
03:55doesn't mean we'll ever pick him though.
04:08Pichu, Super Smash Bros. Melee.
04:16Echo fighters have been a thing in Super Smash Bros. since the beginning but only
04:21in the second game did Nintendo think it would be a good idea to give one of them
04:25the ability to hurt themselves. In Melee, players can unlock Pichu either after
04:30playing 200 versus matches or by completing event match 37. Regardless of
04:35how you unlock the Pokemon, most of us have the same exact inclination after
04:40trying him out. Never again. Every electrical attack emitted from Pichu
04:45adds a small percentage of damage, constantly increasing your chance of
04:48dying even if no one's hitting you. Not only that, but Pichu is the teeniest of
04:54fighters making it incredibly easy to launch him out the arena.
05:01William Borden, Urban Range.
05:09In this 3D beat-em-up story mode, you brawl your way through tons of enemies
05:15to reach the villain, corrupt mayor William Borden. But in multiplayer, Urban
05:19Range is an arena fighter. There are a ton of characters throughout the story
05:23you can unlock here, including the big bad. But boy is it not worth it. You can
05:30only get him by getting an S rank on every single stage, of which there are
05:35100. But after all the effort, Borden isn't any better than the rest of the
05:40characters. In fact, he's worse. Only his counters have the capability of dealing
05:46major damage. We'd be more forgiving if not for the absurd level of challenge in
05:51unlocking him. Roll. Marvel vs. Capcom 2, New Age of Heroes.
06:04With smooth but extremely quick-paced gameplay, Marvel vs. Capcom 2 is one of
06:15those fighters that's easy to pick up but difficult to master. Most players can
06:19pull off awesome combos with many of the characters, but even the greenness of
06:24gamers should stay far away from Roll. Although she's Mega Man's sis, she's
06:29clearly outmatched in every way. We're not usually one to judge a book by its
06:34cover, but Roll proves to be a slow poke with poor range, minuscule damage output,
06:39and horrible combo potential compared to everyone else. Most players overly
06:44familiar with the roster consider her to be one of the worst fighters in any game,
06:49which is hard to argue against.
06:53Mocap, Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance. Mortal Kombat has had many highs and lows
07:08when it comes to unlockable characters. Thankfully, the franchise's lowest point
07:13in those regards happened way back during the sixth generation of consoles.
07:17Mocap is a motion-capture actor who was clearly designed to get a laugh. A mark he
07:23misses. But it isn't just the lame design. He has no distant fighting style
07:28himself, instead taking moves from several other characters. He also has no
07:33fatality, which means the most interesting thing about him is the
07:37aforementioned lame design. Deadly Alliance also made you work hard to
07:41unlock him, requiring you to complete every conquest mission with every
07:45character. It just wasn't worth it.
07:51Dr. Baskanovich Tekken 3. With a varied roster of powerful humans, animals, and
08:05more, surely someone out there wanted to play as an old man who constantly fell
08:10over. No, Namco? No one did? Dr. Baskanovich has played a role in many Tekken
08:16plotlines, but rarely has he ever been playable. He was added as a hidden fighter
08:21in the third entry, unlocked by beating the home version's beat-em-up mode, Tekken
08:25Force, four times. Like Mocap, Dr. B uses different moves compiled from other
08:31fighters. But worse, certain moves and combos will cause him to fall over on
08:37the ground due to his canonical scoliosis. If you pick him, be prepared
08:42to take on the sitting duck role fairly regularly.
08:50Fred Durst. WWF Smackdown, just bring it.
09:01While it was tempting to place the Limp Bizkit frontman's cameo from Fight Club
09:06at the top, we thought we'd pick a game that wasn't also utter garbage. It's not
09:11that we have anything in particular against Durst, it's just unfortunate
09:15that he was made into a terrible unlockable fighter twice. In this
09:20wrestling game, he's unlocked after beating 15 combatants as the Undertaker
09:24in the Slobberknocker mode, which has a 10 minute time limit. Even though this
09:29game released during the height of his band's popularity, we still doubt any
09:34player at the time wouldn't have rather had the spot go to a legacy wrestler.
09:38Even worse, he's one of the weakest fighters on the roster.
09:48Did you go through the process of unlocking these characters? Which did you
09:52find to be the most disappointing? Let us know in the comments down below, and
09:56don't forget to check out these other great videos.
