I didn't mean to imply The Joker was a joke character in the intro of the video. He only appeared on screen when I said the word "joke" in the intro (that's also why he's in the thumbnail). Still, I could see why people thought I was saying Joker was a joke character.
@@MrTopTenList Well, here's another thing Roll is not a joke character. I know that because it was just lies! She is a tough genius, and her attacks are not slow! She can hover and double jump in one both games!

"Who goes into a fight with a Top Hat, Handlebar Mustache and Pants that will restrict movement and offer no protection what so ever?" His name is William Anthonio Zeppeli.
+John McHenry Paul started as a less serious character but has even won the King of Iron Fist Tournament. Tekken 3. He was the one who beat Ogre.... except Ogre wasn't really defeated and by the time he became True Ogre he was gone and Jin defeated him. So he technically fought his way to the end but never fought True Ogre. With that said, Paul is a nod to Chuck Norris in that his fighting style is that American Karate. His best friend being Law who is a much less subtle nod to Bruce Lee is the main connection that Paul has with Norris. In the Bruce Lee movie, 'Way of the Dragon' Lee and Norris have a cinematic fight scene which ends with Lee being the victor. This is why you can see Law teaching Paul some skills in Tekken 2 as Law would be the better fighter. Paul simply wants to be the best fighter and has easily become one of the best, possibly thanks to training with Law for a bit. One gameplay note would be the "Flash Kick" that was in Tekken. As some characters could do this move by inputting the same command as Guile's flash kick from Street Fighter. It was funny that the only character that couldn't fully do it was Paul despite having a similar look (hair). Paul could start the flip but would land on his face. After training with Law though he can land the flip fine. Now I don't know why I took all this time to write all this. Good on you if you read it all lol. I just really love Tekken.
OBJECTION!! phoenix wright has the best ultimate and an infinite combo once you get all the evidence! a good phoenix wright player is near unbeatablr!!
Monkey D Luffy he's definitely on the lower end of.the tier list, he just can't keep up with the likes of Zero, Vergil, Morrigan, Doom, Magneto, Phoenix, Viper, Wolverine, etc.
My best definition of "Mortal Kembet" is that it's the phonetic spelling of the way some people pronounce the name of the beloved fighting game series, Mortal Kombat.
I used to play as Pichu some times simply because it's so cute (Uhh... Just ignore what I just said there). Back then I didn't know he was actually a weakest character aside from the damage when he use thunder attacks.
+Ruby Rose Roll works great with Casshern in TvC. Its hilarious to knock them down and do the flaming broom scrub. It looks like she is scrubbing their crotch so hard it bursts into flame. Then DHC into Casshern and he jumps out with a super punch to the nuts.
Krilin got powered above human level during the namek saga. do how it worked, he lost it a bit after marriage tho Yamcha (and arguably, Tien) got the otherwordly training, consisting in training to a point that would fisically kill you otherwise, and did not lose that
First of all hercule is not a joke character !! He beat cell and majin buu all by himself and would have done sooner if those z fighters did not get in the way. Oh what blonde hair and shooting fireballs make them stronger? ITS JUST A TRICK
In Naruto: Clash of Ninja you could play as Akamaru... who was a joke character while also being the most unfair character to play against. With such a small hitbox, Akamaru was practically invincible.
Lord Zero When you make a character that hurts itself and has no weight, you are setting it up for disaster in a game that is all about not flying off the screen due to damage taken. Pichu was given barely more knockback and damage than pikachu, but in order for pichu to have been taken even remotely seriously, it would've needed about captain falcon strength attacks (falcon punch and knee aerial excluded). I don't see a way that pichu would be not considered a joke. You should go back and read Pichu's SSBM entry.
+Algreen Moya He never did, actually. lol People just love pulling random tales out of their assholes. And technically Zelda, Marth and Lucina are as much or even more of a joke character each in SSB4 than Pichu in Melee, so... (By the way, Kirby and Bowser are much, much worse than Pichu in Melee.)
+1324cmoikev I guess Zelda, Marth and Lucina from SSB4 too, then? Their usefulness is as much as or even worse of a joke in that game than Pichu in Melee.
I'm not sure why I said slightly stronger since Gohan did say Videl is much stronger than Hercule at one point. I guess I was just not entirely sure since they've never had equal fights in the series that were canon, so I didn't want to fully assume.
Why does it have so many dislikes! This was a brilliant video and list. You explain it so well and give thorough details. Some games I've never heard of but you made it interesting with your knowledge. Mega like!!
Thanks dude! I can't really tell why. Based on comments, some people were mad that I put Phoenix Wright on the list and said he was one of the weakest characters in UMvC3. There are a few other criticisms I've received, but regardless, I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
I think a good idea for the mokap character would be for him to be like a combo character so they have moves from other characters to reference that they are those characters technically
to be fair, hercul's present for you attack was so damn OP in budokai 1 because of the small ammount of ki it uses and the combo to initiate it being hard to dodge.
I initially thought Pichu was a poorly designed clone character, but a few people have pointed out that Sakurai stated Pichu was made intentionally bad, making him a joke character, so consider Pichu the most notable omission on this list.
USA SMB2 is basically a reskinned version of Doki Doki Panic, another game also made by Shigeru Miyamoto, which was released because the true SMB2 was deemed 'too difficult' for western audiences.
one character that could be counted in is Pichu in Smash Bros. Melee. While it's not necessarily a bad character, Pichu is a self-damaging version of Pikachu, as all its specials also cause recoil damage. This was perhaps a reference to the anime, in which several Pichu were shown to hurt themselves whenever they used electric attacks
Joker and Deadpool are NOT joke characters. Joker's entire character gimmick might be being a clown, but he's no joke. ...Seriously. As for Deadpool, um. I'm not really sure how to justify the validity of him as not being a joke character, but he's not. He's just Deadpool.
I would say Deadpool is not a joke character because he is a comedic character that is meant to be played seriously and is put on the same level as the rest of the cast, rather than made intentionally bad based on his design or put in as some sort of easter egg we would laugh at that was not given as much attention as the rest of the characters in the cast. Similar to how Johnny Cage in Mortal Kombat is a jokester that fights seriously, Deadpool was made to reflect his personality in the comics, which is incredibly goofy, but still skilled. I would classify him as a comedic character that tells jokes that we laugh with, rather than him being a joke character that we laugh at.
+mattwo7 But they aren't on this list....he said in the beginning if the character is comedic but has legit fighting potential then they are not a Joke Character.
I remember another list of OP joke characters which included Roll, as she had an attack boosting mechanic that could be stacked, but I can't remember on which game it was.
MrTopTenList hello its me again. umm. Can't find that video that you replyed to my comment on. ._. so yea. just wanna tell you if you could do another top ten scariest characters in fighting games. that would make me happy :)
Well at least her lack of pants does not restrict movement lol. I also think she has shin guards on in some of her costumes, so I guess that could count as some form of protection.
No, Joker was not really eligible for the list since he's not a joke character. This was a video for April Fool's Day and I felt The Joker fit the theme of April Fool's, which is why he's off to the side on the thumbnail and only appears in the intro when I mention "joking." He was on my list on comic relief characters that are taken seriously in fighting games.
KillerKombat X She's a clone of Filia who was hidden on the roster. To play her you used to have to move your cursor to an empty spot on the character select screen. Her story mode is also just Filia's dream. She was originally designed as a gag character, but she is still a totally viable character.
How about these? - Wario (SSB Brawl and SSB4) - The Joker (MK vs DCU and Injustice) - Teddie (Persona 4 Arena [Ultimax]) - Platinum the Trinity (BlazBlue) - Faust (Guilty Gear) - Deadpool (UMvC3)
Why would you have the JOKER, most dangerous Supervillain in the DCU, as a joke character? He doesn't fit considering he makes David from the Last of Us look saintly!
How to defeat Dan in Street Fighter: Step 1) Play against Dan Step 2) Be looking in the general direction of the TV screen while playing against Dan Step 3) Have the controller somewhere in the same room as you while playing against Dan (you don't actually have to be holding the controller).
well, Dampierre also kidnapped and sold Pyrrha into slavery... and apparently he's ballsy enough to claim to be Nightmare right in the Azure Knight's face.
Volcanion Steam Sakuri hated Jigs but in Melee she got more serious moves if you don't believe go watch a a vid about Jigs and see if it talks about her as a joke character
mister satan is not the strongest human. tenshinhan, krillin, chichi or even master roshi are all stronger and thats not even half of the list of people that are stronger than him.
That's why I said he's the strongest human "without any powers," as in the characters that don't utilize ki. Everyone on that list uses ki with the exception of ChiChi (unless you count the Garlic Jr. filler episode where she started powering up). I thought powers was a good word at the time to generalize to those that didn't know the word ki. If I included all humans, then probably Krillin or maybe Tenshinhan would top that list.
+mrtoptenlist dont wanna be a smartass here ( :^) ) but even if you specified him as "the strongest human who doesnt use ki" you would - at least in my interpretation - be wrong since goku encountered many strong human foes in his childhood. i would rank both grandpa gohan and tao pai pai over mr. satan just to give examples.
I guess it's how you interpret a character that uses ki. Tao and Grandpa Gohan primarily fought in hand-to-hand combat, but Tao still used the Dodon-pa and Grandpa Gohan still used the Kamehameha wave. I mean no ki usage at all, even with last resort tactics, which is why I said he was the strongest without using ki at all.
+mrtoptenlist ok ok you win. im not butthurt enough to go through all the old dragonballs again to find a character without *any* ki at all who is stronger than satan. but i swear to god there is one :D
Haha, you're probably right. I always just like a good debate on Dragon Ball lore. Haksy from the filler or one of the higher ranked Red Ribbon Army guys may be the answer :)
Pichu? Jigglypuff? Not even Duck Hunt Dog?! (Yes, I know, Duck Hunt Dog isn't a joke character, but come on. He's the _dog_ who _laughs at you_ in _one game._)
Yeah Sagat did let Dan win but Satgat let Dan win because he also had the Satnedo Hodo just Ryu let Sagat win so Ryu doesn't taped into the Hodo and killed him just like he almost did when they first fought
Duck Hunt. Basically, Sakurai sees a dog, hires several assassins to aid him in battle and allows the dog to help them practice. Well, actually, he is a very fun character and is just as balanced as everyone else, but the only real downside to him is that he replaced Takamaru, a character that was begging for an appearance as a fighter so that he could revive his game series.
Not only did a lot of development go into the moveset for Mr. Wright it ultimately left fellow Ace Attorney character Franziska von Karma excluded from being a fighting game character
MrTouchednut Why? Because you're salty as to how they made Jigglypuff fundamentally the worst character in the game? Ganondorf really isn't the worst, Jigglypuff is.
The funny thing about Gon is that he has his own cartoon where it shows he's somewhat invincible displays his personality more as a child doing whatever he or she wants. The cartoon can only found on Netflix though and the name of the cartoon is unsurprisingly "Gon"
Wow, I know a good amount about the MvC series and that's a character I just learned about. There seems to be no videos of him on RUclips, but the information I found on his playstyle sounds great for a joke character.
She sort of seems borderline as a joke character to me. She is a comedic character based on her origin and moveset, but I put her in the same category as Mr. Game & Watch where they don't seem like fighters, but their history can give them a comprehensive moveset. However, she could easily have been put on this list since that could also justify her as being a joke character. It's all based perspective, so I can see why she would fit in with these other joke characters.
There is ONE playable character trained by Dan Hibiki, actually: Chairperson from Project Justice. As expected for a high-school student who trained under Dan, she's the resident joke character of HER game, being really, really bad at fighting... but she's the best assist character in the game, since her move heals you AND fills your Guts gauge, while other characters with similar moves only can do one or the other. Also, about Fukua; her name is a joke on a common typo of Filia's name (note the letters U and K are next to the I and L).
Villager was actually in development since brawl and Sakurai took him very seriously I just feel that the wii fit trainer was handled in a silly tone and was meant as a joke character
Fun fact; Fukua originated from a stream where one of the developers accidentally spelled Filia wrong, U being right next to I and K being right next to L on your standard qwerty keyboard. Fans liked the misspelling and it stuck. And thus Fukua was born.
They explain the Hercule thing in the original Dragonball; Hecule can't use his Ki (like Videl or General Tao), so his attacks aren't effective against someone who can, even if he can bench more than them.
Fun fact about toro and kuro. If you play Phantasy Star Online 2 on the Playstation Vita,you can unlock them as partner cards on the vita and normal game,if I remember correctly. Sadly I have yet to get the english tweaked version on my vita.
TOP 10 Joke Characters in Fighting Games: 1. Joker 2. Dan 3. Dan Piere 4. Mr. Satan 5. Norimaro 6. Megaman (Street Fighter x Tekken) 7. Mr. Teddie/Kuma (Persona 4 Arena) 8. Wario (Super Smash Brothers Brawl) 9. Sakata Gintoki (J-Stars Victory VS) 10. Pepsiman Joker still fit as a Joke Character, I liked him so much. No one beats of his jokes! lol
Once I learned of his origins, I always thought Ermac from Mortal Kombat was something of a joke character. Not in his fighting ability, as I don't know how well he performs, but purely because of how Ermac got created as a character.
my list
1.Dan
2.Danner dan
3super Dan
6.ultra Dan
8.Evil Dan
10.Oni Dan
Hey my list too XD
What about SHIN Dan and CYBER Dan?

The Joker isn't a joke character. He's just...The Joker in a fighting game.
I didn't mean to imply The Joker was a joke character in the intro of the video. He only appeared on screen when I said the word "joke" in the intro (that's also why he's in the thumbnail). Still, I could see why people thought I was saying Joker was a joke character.
i assumed you were saying the joker is a good fighter, but he’s just so out of left field
@@MrTopTenList Well, here's another thing Roll is not a joke character. I know that because it was just lies! She is a tough genius, and her attacks are not slow! She can hover and double jump in one both games!

Here’s a piece of advice for you: HOW ABOUT YOU ACTUALLY SPELL THINGS RIGHT?!
"Who goes into a fight with a Top Hat, Handlebar Mustache and Pants that will restrict movement and offer no protection what so ever?"
His name is William Anthonio Zeppeli.
Hey, baby!
People mentioning smash bros with WFT and Jiggs.
You guys forgot about Pichu?
Jiggs actually does really well in competitive play, and wft is mid-high tier. Pichu however...
Those aren't joke characters. They're Nintendo icons.
Um, HungryBox plays jigg
solidwaluigi both WFT and Jiggs are actually usable tho
+solidwaluigi Waluigi is quite a joke character, but just not from any fighting game.
Its sad that Tekken has reduced Paul Phoenix to a joke character. He's supposed to be [or he was] the strongest non-Mishima in Tekken canon.
+John McHenry Paul started as a less serious character but has even won the King of Iron Fist Tournament. Tekken 3. He was the one who beat Ogre.... except Ogre wasn't really defeated and by the time he became True Ogre he was gone and Jin defeated him. So he technically fought his way to the end but never fought True Ogre.
With that said, Paul is a nod to Chuck Norris in that his fighting style is that American Karate. His best friend being Law who is a much less subtle nod to Bruce Lee is the main connection that Paul has with Norris. In the Bruce Lee movie, 'Way of the Dragon' Lee and Norris have a cinematic fight scene which ends with Lee being the victor. This is why you can see Law teaching Paul some skills in Tekken 2 as Law would be the better fighter. Paul simply wants to be the best fighter and has easily become one of the best, possibly thanks to training with Law for a bit. One gameplay note would be the "Flash Kick" that was in Tekken. As some characters could do this move by inputting the same command as Guile's flash kick from Street Fighter. It was funny that the only character that couldn't fully do it was Paul despite having a similar look (hair). Paul could start the flip but would land on his face. After training with Law though he can land the flip fine.
Now I don't know why I took all this time to write all this. Good on you if you read it all lol. I just really love Tekken.
+Fusion Phoenix Smasher!!!
Paul is sick. Not my style personally but he hit big.
Put Pepsi Man in Killer Instinct.
Pepsiman Can Refresh...YOUR LIFE.*_*
Lol that would be cool to see
Pepsi man for smash
Hell yes 😁
OBJECTION!!
phoenix wright has the best ultimate and an infinite combo once you get all the evidence!
a good phoenix wright player is near unbeatablr!!
unbeatable.
+David Shortt lol no
+Cooper McGill Actually yes. His ultimate one of the strongest in the game.
Monkey D Luffy he's definitely on the lower end of.the tier list, he just can't keep up with the likes of Zero, Vergil, Morrigan, Doom, Magneto, Phoenix, Viper, Wolverine, etc.
Cooper McGill If you really know how to combo well you can easily keep it up. I beat a bunch of people with Phoenix
Phoenix Wright can object his way from low tier to top tier in one well landed objection.
Fear the fingers!
Fear the evidence!
Fear the lvl3!
I believe, he's more an unorthodox character, rather than a joke
wtf is a mortal kembet
My best definition of "Mortal Kembet" is that it's the phonetic spelling of the way some people pronounce the name of the beloved fighting game series, Mortal Kombat.
+mrtoptenlist
ah I see. just like kepcom lol

+Evildie .x it wasn't what?
+Evildie .x Too bad.
I used to play as Pichu some times simply because it's so cute (Uhh... Just ignore what I just said there). Back then I didn't know he was actually a weakest character aside from the damage when he use thunder attacks.
Young link isn't the weakest character, he's typically viewed as one of, if not the best B tier, just being shy of A tier
Evildie .x you are dumb XD. you think zelda mewtwo roy dk pichu ness kirby game and watch and link are better than young link
Roll is actually my main in Tatsunoko vs Capcom.
+Ruby Rose she's great with Alex
+Ruby Rose Roll is great in Tatsunoko, many pro's combo with her along with their mains due to the support attack combo potential.
+Ruby Rose Roll works great with Casshern in TvC. Its hilarious to knock them down and do the flaming broom scrub. It looks like she is scrubbing their crotch so hard it bursts into flame. Then DHC into Casshern and he jumps out with a super punch to the nuts.
+Ruby Rose How is Servbot more effective than Roll? That's insane.
SAME
Give Mr. Satan a break. The poor guy is a human in a cast full of titans.
So is Krillin, Yamcha, Chichi, Yajirobe, and arguably, Tien.
Krilin got powered above human level during the namek saga. do how it worked, he lost it a bit after marriage tho
Yamcha (and arguably, Tien) got the otherwordly training, consisting in training to a point that would fisically kill you otherwise, and did not lose that
PsylightFF No, just Krillin, Chi-Chi, Tien, and arguably Yajirobe. Not Yamcha though, remember he got knocked out by Champa *in a baseball game*.
*states all the characters are in there for jokes*
*reviews them as if they're serious characters*
..... yeah... that makes sense...
because some of this character is a good character and doesn't means to be a joke
+first name the charcters presences is a joke
Perfect sense...why wouldn't it
First of all hercule is not a joke character !! He beat cell and majin buu all by himself and would have done sooner if those z fighters did not get in the way. Oh what blonde hair and shooting fireballs make them stronger? ITS JUST A TRICK
Joey Jo Jo Jr Shabadoo actully your lying he did not beat cell sure he helped beat kid buu but he is a joke character
@golden brony obviously it's a joke.....
Joey Jo Jo Jr Shabadoo Don't forget, Hercule could take every single character in DBZ, but he's allergic to a certain hair type.
Sam Fenters lol
golden brony lmao fucking idiot
In Naruto: Clash of Ninja you could play as Akamaru... who was a joke character while also being the most unfair character to play against. With such a small hitbox, Akamaru was practically invincible.

+dilan emir leon ramirez Same with Yoda in Soul Calibur

Mostafa Shahin All excused and yes, his name is Kiba.
Ridiculously hard to hit...if you use him right he is sooooo fucking cheap
Pichu, the real #1 Joke character
Algreen Moya Was that even a joke character? I personally thing hes just terrible.
Exolyst Legends speak of Sakurai actually saying that.
Lord Zero When you make a character that hurts itself and has no weight, you are setting it up for disaster in a game that is all about not flying off the screen due to damage taken. Pichu was given barely more knockback and damage than pikachu, but in order for pichu to have been taken even remotely seriously, it would've needed about captain falcon strength attacks (falcon punch and knee aerial excluded).

Lord Zero Dude, his trophy description *acknowledges* he's terrible.
+Algreen Moya He never did, actually. lol People just love pulling random tales out of their assholes.
And technically Zelda, Marth and Lucina are as much or even more of a joke character each in SSB4 than Pichu in Melee, so...
(By the way, Kirby and Bowser are much, much worse than Pichu in Melee.)
I'm surprised you didn't mention the origin of Fukua's name - move your right hand one key to the left when typing "Filia".
Why didn't they call her Dukua?
Or Fuckua? :-D
+Isaac Munger (MisterJukebox8) No, you don't move your left hand. Then it would be Duku-Caps Lock
+WondrousMoose dukuCAPSLOCK
+Ghostly Pidove Only the Right Hand, leave the Left hand in place
pichu from super smash bros. melee
+1324cmoikev I guess Zelda, Marth and Lucina from SSB4 too, then? Their usefulness is as much as or even worse of a joke in that game than Pichu in Melee.
+RedHairdo Pichu is way worse than those 3, it damages itself with its own moves
+epicrobert24 Pichu and Wario for me.
+RedHairdo yeah bud.....are u on fucking crack or something?
+RedHairdo joke characters are ment to be bad not just bad...by the way they are not bad
All the casuals who think jigglypuff is a joke smh
But Sakurai himself stated that he made Jigglypuff a joke character in SSB64 because he thought making your opponents fall asleep was hilarious.
+Widget 14 but joke characters don't perform well competitively. Jigglypuff is top tier
+cubecast1 In N64? No way man. She's not horrible, but Jigglypuff doesn't compensate for her light weight in that game.

....videl is not slightly stronger than hercule, she is wayyyyyy stronger than him
I'm not sure why I said slightly stronger since Gohan did say Videl is much stronger than Hercule at one point. I guess I was just not entirely sure since they've never had equal fights in the series that were canon, so I didn't want to fully assume.

"pants that would likely restrict movement and offer no protection" *looks at Ivy*
Well at least her lack of pants does not restrict movement lol. I also think she has shin guards on in some of her costumes, so I guess that could count as some form of protection.
DID THEY LITTERALY PUT JOKER THERE
No, Joker was not really eligible for the list since he's not a joke character. This was a video for April Fool's Day and I felt The Joker fit the theme of April Fool's, which is why he's off to the side on the thumbnail and only appears in the intro when I mention "joking." He was on my list on comic relief characters that are taken seriously in fighting games.
try sandbag Characters
KillerKombat X She's a clone of Filia who was hidden on the roster. To play her you used to have to move your cursor to an empty spot on the character select screen. Her story mode is also just Filia's dream. She was originally designed as a gag character, but she is still a totally viable character.
You really drop the ball by not mentioning the Daytona car in Fighters Megamix on Saturn.
NORIMARO in marvel super heroes vs street fighter!
Roll was actually good in TvC tho.
How about these?
- Wario (SSB Brawl and SSB4)
- The Joker (MK vs DCU and Injustice)
- Teddie (Persona 4 Arena [Ultimax])
- Platinum the Trinity (BlazBlue)
- Faust (Guilty Gear)
- Deadpool (UMvC3)
4 of those characters are actually on my followup list to this one: Top Ten Comic Relief Characters in Fighting Games
Why would you have the JOKER, most dangerous Supervillain in the DCU, as a joke character? He doesn't fit considering he makes David from the Last of Us look saintly!
MrJechgo
How is Wario a joke character?
How to defeat Dan in Street Fighter:
Step 1) Play against Dan
Step 2) Be looking in the general direction of the TV screen while playing against Dan
Step 3) Have the controller somewhere in the same room as you while playing against Dan (you don't actually have to be holding the controller).
You earned a subscriber, bud! :D
Thanks! Glad to hear it!
Lol
well, Dampierre also kidnapped and sold Pyrrha into slavery... and apparently he's ballsy enough to claim to be Nightmare right in the Azure Knight's face.
phoenix wright might be the best character if you watch lythero play him good.
Why Is Shingo not on the list?
Jigglypuff was a joke character in Smash64
No she wasn't.
She was incredibly popular back then in the First Generation thanks to the anime.
Volcanion Steam Sakuri hated Jigs but in Melee she got more serious moves if you don't believe go watch a a vid about Jigs and see if it talks about her as a joke character
Karatekidd09 S7LightG3laxy She's good in 64 if you know how to use her.
Karatekidd09 S7LightG3laxy Sakurai doesn't hate anyone.
***** What???
finaly someone knows how strong satan is
Shingo Yabuki from King of Fighters
Dom Pierre looks he's heading to church in Atlanta, rather than into a fighting game.
mister satan is not the strongest human. tenshinhan, krillin, chichi or even master roshi are all stronger and thats not even half of the list of people that are stronger than him.
That's why I said he's the strongest human "without any powers," as in the characters that don't utilize ki. Everyone on that list uses ki with the exception of ChiChi (unless you count the Garlic Jr. filler episode where she started powering up). I thought powers was a good word at the time to generalize to those that didn't know the word ki. If I included all humans, then probably Krillin or maybe Tenshinhan would top that list.
+mrtoptenlist
dont wanna be a smartass here ( :^) ) but even if you specified him as "the strongest human who doesnt use ki" you would - at least in my interpretation - be wrong since goku encountered many strong human foes in his childhood. i would rank both grandpa gohan and tao pai pai over mr. satan just to give examples.
I guess it's how you interpret a character that uses ki. Tao and Grandpa Gohan primarily fought in hand-to-hand combat, but Tao still used the Dodon-pa and Grandpa Gohan still used the Kamehameha wave. I mean no ki usage at all, even with last resort tactics, which is why I said he was the strongest without using ki at all.
+mrtoptenlist ok ok you win. im not butthurt enough to go through all the old dragonballs again to find a character without *any* ki at all who is stronger than satan. but i swear to god there is one :D
Haha, you're probably right. I always just like a good debate on Dragon Ball lore. Haksy from the filler or one of the higher ranked Red Ribbon Army guys may be the answer :)
So who do you main? Me: Pepsi man
Pichu?
Jigglypuff?
Not even Duck Hunt Dog?!
(Yes, I know, Duck Hunt Dog isn't a joke character, but come on. He's the _dog_ who _laughs at you_ in _one game._)
I don't think you understand Smash Bros.
clariece cameron
Pichu is a joke character.
Jiggly is a lethal joke character.
Duck Hunt Dog is Sakurai trolling us.
Tyler Nope Jigglypuff is HungryBox's main, a smash god.
Steven Perez
Joke characters don't have to be bad.
+Tyler Nope (TerraformTrent) Duck hunt dog are a classic caracther i dont see why not enter in smash
Nobody going to mention that Fukua is a typo of Filia?
Yeah Sagat did let Dan win but Satgat let Dan win because he also had the Satnedo Hodo just Ryu let Sagat win so Ryu doesn't taped into the Hodo and killed him just like he almost did when they first fought
Duck Hunt. Basically, Sakurai sees a dog, hires several assassins to aid him in battle and allows the dog to help them practice.
Well, actually, he is a very fun character and is just as balanced as everyone else, but the only real downside to him is that he replaced Takamaru, a character that was begging for an appearance as a fighter so that he could revive his game series.
worst Joke Character: Shaq in Shaqfu. A fucking basketball player fighting horrible monsters, and black magicians.
+Green Djinn thats. . .more a joke game
+nanatheneko I agree. JOke game. But he get a sequel in 2016
I actually enjoyed that game
Not only did a lot of development go into the moveset for Mr. Wright it ultimately left fellow Ace Attorney character Franziska von Karma excluded from being a fighting game character
Phoenix wright one of the worst characters???? WRONG!!!
Ultimate spit in the face when they brought back Dan for SFV.
Bo Rai Cho from mortal kombat
correct
Let's be real, how many of us had this question in mind:How is Dan Hibiki number 2?
What is Jigglypuff?
What is Pichu?
What is Super Smash Bros.?
Also, what is Shadow Kanji from Persona 4: Arena Ultimax?
+ Vulgun Jiggs is not a joke character XD
***** In Brawl it is.
+Vulgun
Plz dont mention brawl Jiggs.
+Vulgun dont mention brawl ever again
MrTouchednut Why? Because you're salty as to how they made Jigglypuff fundamentally the worst character in the game? Ganondorf really isn't the worst, Jigglypuff is.
The funny thing about Gon is that he has his own cartoon where it shows he's somewhat invincible displays his personality more as a child doing whatever he or she wants.
The cartoon can only found on Netflix though and the name of the cartoon is unsurprisingly "Gon"
what about the nerd guy from Marvel vs. Capcom?
Who are you talking about?
NOMINARO! He appears on Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter as a secret character in the japanese version.
Wow, I know a good amount about the MvC series and that's a character I just learned about. There seems to be no videos of him on RUclips, but the information I found on his playstyle sounds great for a joke character.
he's the ultimate joke character!
YoungFrankenstein Explain his fighting style.
Carlos Mencia does the mocap for Mortal Kombat? You learn something new every day.
The mocap guy's name is Carlos Pesina. He's a martial artist turned video game character designer for Mortal Kombat.
tell lythero that pheonix is one of the worst characters plus a joke character
Lythero would get angry!
Lythero could rekt him
There was a DB game where Satan had his own Campaign Mode, where he took credit for everything the DBZ cast did.
Wii Fit Trainer?
She sort of seems borderline as a joke character to me. She is a comedic character based on her origin and moveset, but I put her in the same category as Mr. Game & Watch where they don't seem like fighters, but their history can give them a comprehensive moveset. However, she could easily have been put on this list since that could also justify her as being a joke character. It's all based perspective, so I can see why she would fit in with these other joke characters.
STOP calling Wii Fit a joke character. Smash is a game with no boundaries. That why we have Mario, Pokemon, Villager and Duck Hunt in the roster.
Broguy the Shy Guy That was a really nice meme
Wii Fit isnt much of a fighter she's a freakin joke character
There is ONE playable character trained by Dan Hibiki, actually: Chairperson from Project Justice. As expected for a high-school student who trained under Dan, she's the resident joke character of HER game, being really, really bad at fighting... but she's the best assist character in the game, since her move heals you AND fills your Guts gauge, while other characters with similar moves only can do one or the other.
Also, about Fukua; her name is a joke on a common typo of Filia's name (note the letters U and K are next to the I and L).
Honorable mention:
Jigglypuff from the SSB series. God, (s)he sucked.
***** For what? Hating on SSB Jigglypuff?
Have you seen the tournaments?
+TheAnimePlaceX No!
For me, Jigglypuff is little more than a homerun opportunity.
+GamerZero well, she has a move that can kill as low as 40-50% and her back air is also really good for creating a wall
DC Fighting Game Rule #1: The Joker is always the joke character.
I kick ass with Wright
Psycho Then everybody you fight is shit.
I agree
A shame Servbot from Marvel vs. Capcom 2 didn't make the list, only a lunatic would try to beat that game using Servbot.
No Wii Fit Trainer?
Honestly, I think Wii Fit Trainer is one of the best fighters in the game. Sort of a silly inclusion, but still good
how about villager XD
Villager was actually in development since brawl and Sakurai took him very seriously
I just feel that the wii fit trainer was handled in a silly tone and was meant as a joke character
TakkaDawg What about Jigglypuff, R.O.B., Duck Hunt, Mr Game and Watch
What's wrong with any of those characters
Fun fact; Fukua originated from a stream where one of the developers accidentally spelled Filia wrong, U being right next to I and K being right next to L on your standard qwerty keyboard. Fans liked the misspelling and it stuck. And thus Fukua was born.
im just glad you didnt try to say mr game and watch was a joke character
is gon . explained in tekken. the other dinosaur was a genetics experiment, a bio-weapon with so not technically a dinosaur
the only Joke character than you forgot is Pichu from SSBM:)
They explain the Hercule thing in the original Dragonball; Hecule can't use his Ki (like Videl or General Tao), so his attacks aren't effective against someone who can, even if he can bench more than them.
The entire Clay Fighter cast.
I had found some good Dampierre players in SCV, as you said some attacks are random but they adapt their game for every situation.
Fun fact about toro and kuro. If you play Phantasy Star Online 2 on the Playstation Vita,you can unlock them as partner cards on the vita and normal game,if I remember correctly.
Sadly I have yet to get the english tweaked version on my vita.
did any one notice that when filia was sleeping, that was the same image from super mario bros 2 but with a different person sleeping
Am I the only one who thought Pichu was kind of fun to play as?

Joker still fit as a Joke Character, I liked him so much. No one beats of his jokes! lol
who would use top hat and moustache? the great zeppelli
Gon is actually pretty powerful. I once did a 1-hit K.O. on King. I still wonder how, but it happened.
Once I learned of his origins, I always thought Ermac from Mortal Kombat was something of a joke character. Not in his fighting ability, as I don't know how well he performs, but purely because of how Ermac got created as a character.
