Top 25 Most Bizarre Fighting Characters

Some are powerful, some are fan favorites but all of these video game characters are just plain weird.

24. Shaky Jake (Way of the Warrior)

Shaky Jake is a good ol' boy -- if by good ol' boy you mean someone that dresses like a second-rate cowboy and has a habit of blowing whiskey-fueled fire at his opponents. We wouldn't be surprised if we caught him raising hell down at the local watering hole.

It's funny how any of these characters could be better described by simply reading the manuals for each respective game. For example Oro is a human who figured out immortality (ok, so that part is never explained) and has two arms. He keeps one arm tucked in his cloth because he wants to handicap himself against all the other fighters so he can find a student.

What about Chaos, the orange ape from Primal Rage? He pukes, farts, and his finishing move is a golden shower!

Oro doesnt have one arm to be exact...His other arm is in the red cloth. he doesnt take it out because hes too power full and wants a challenge when fought. If you do is super special he takes out his other arm.

I said on the last list that they are good for being mildly creative when given a unique list to create, i.e. the top 25 bizarre fighting characters. However, when they reuse lists, i.e. the top 25 bizarre fighting characters I've seen two or three times now, suddenly this creativity is lost.

awhh, i love voldo. of course he looks a bit odd but he is pretty damn good :]]

Oro does have two arms but he so damn good that he only feels he needs to fight with one. until he bust out his super one of his super moves on you then you'll see the other arm. that there is my *****.

geezus! at LEAST spell the names of the games right! it's SAMURAI SHODOWN, not showdown. you are forgiven this time since you included a way of the warrior character in there. "yeah buddy!"
