Top 10 Baddest Video Game Fighters Ever
Johnny Cage (Mortal Kombat series)
Why should Johnny Cage be let into the UFC? Sheer force of personality! Who else can you think of who is so full of himself he would tattoo his own name across his chest? Johnny Cage is more than just an awesome fighter that has saved the Earth from the forces of Shao Kahn several times; he’s also a straight-up badass. Besides, crotch-punching is Johnny Cage’s specialty, and that’s kind of awesome.
Bryan Fury (Tekken series)
On paper, Bryan Fury is a kickboxer; in practice, Bryan Fury is insane. He’s a cop, he’s a zombie, and he’s ready to tear your face off if you look at him funny. He’s probably the most brutal character on the Tekken roster. And it’s not like he has an unfair advantage over other fighters that might enter the UFC ring; He’s just a really good kickboxer zombie cop. With super-strength. Err…
Sabin (Final Fantasy VI)
What? Did you think we were going to stick to mostly fighting and action game characters for this list? Nope! Sabin comes from Final Fantasy VI, which came out in the sprite-based glory days of the SNES. Sabin gave up his nobility to train on a mountain, and that’s all you need to know about him. Sure, he punches gods in the face with his martial arts, and sure, his chi arts eventually outshine even the best summon spells. But all you really need to know is that he gave up being a prince in order to learn how to punch people in the face. Now that’s badass.
