7 Fighting Game Joke Characters Who Are WAY Stronger Than They Look

[@jonhenri5625]

The actual joke character that’s surprisingly good is of course hol horse given his role in the source material

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

@@CollinandBri Araki actually loves dogs. He has so many of them killed in the series because he thinks the easiest way to show someone is irredeemably evil is to have them hurt a dog. That's why the one that was suppose to be somewhat sympathetic, Kars, actually PROTECTED a dog. He wasn't evil, he just had such a fundamentally different concept of morality that he couldn't be treated as anything but a villain.

Pet Shop isn’t a joke character. In the anime and manga, he’s an absolute monster. If anyone in that game is a joke character, it would be Hol Horse and Boingo, a duo so incompetent they defeated themselves before their targets even noticed they were being attacked.

[@WhaddonSnep]

Imagine thinking petshop was EVER meant to be considered a joke. In the anime / manga petshop was basically a bird sized slasher monster. A cruel and terryfying predator that will not be stopped in his quest for bloodshed.

[@vyon2669]

He isn’t a joke character in game either, the main reason he’s actually banned is because he can get basically free unblockables that can lead into Touch of Death combos, not because he can fly. If anything, flying isn’t a good option due to the fact that he can’t block while above his base flying level

[@FoxIord]

I mean, this is a series with Bizarre in the name. Every character is a bit of a joke. Pet Shop is named Pet Shop, can smile with a beak, and can his wipe his mouth with a wing.

@@SilverByakuya yes. Iggy stand if i remember correctly is the fool. In tarot cards, the fool number is 0 which can be the lowest number, or the highest number. Meaning, Iggy has unlimited potential.

@@SilverByakuya Iggy's Stand gave him almost complete control over sand, and was only limited by his imagination as a result. It could be used offensively, defensively, or in utilitarian ways that many stands can't - including the ability to create imitative constructs like the puppet Dio that Iggy constructed to manipulate Ice.

[@aldeambarasakti]

@@OtakuUnitedStudio he could do almost everything even copy another stand and its abilities. The question is not can he do it rather than would he do it? For all i know, Iggy can copy Either Star Platinum or The World and stops time.

Phoenix Wright in Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3. He's literally just a normal dude who is a lawyer by trade. He's the slowest character in the game and has garbage reach for most of his moves. He also has 1 million HP and if he manages to activate turnabout mode all of his attacks will reach halfway across the screen and he gains access to his level 3 hyper combo which is the single most damaging attack in the entire game, and can't be dodged.

[@1337m4n]

Don't forget all his assist moves become absurdly powerful and, as long as he isn't the active character, the timer on his turnabout mode never runs out. So you can activate turnabout mode and then switch to another character, who will be able to call super powerful assists, and if that character gets KO'd then you still have all your turnabout mode timer left as Phoenix.

[@lnsflare1]

I mean, he's pretty crazy durable in his games, but yeah, definitely did not expect him to be the strongest Phoenix in a game that includes Jean Grey.

But Phoenix Wright is by no means intended to be a joke character. He was actually a fan favorite added after years of fans asking.

The version you are playing (or using footage) is the 1998 PSX version (Also known as JoJo's Venture) Which lacks some of the characters. If there was a joke character in Heritage For The Future, it would be Khan or Hol Horse w/Boingo (a.k.a Hoingo) Because since you can also fight with a dog (Iggy) ama

I agree. Kobra sucks. Can we get Erron Black to kill him too? He's already killed hsu hao, the red dragon guy who looked like a gay male stripper, and Kabal killed Mavado, who also sucked, as did frost, mokap, li mei, dairou, darrius, kira, hotaru, all BAD characters, who NEED to be killed off by Erron Black, and forgotten about.

raynaldo arlen k.eman Konami would have to want to do something with the IP and they haven’t since acquiring the property 15 years ago. It’s super unfortunate, as a game like this would look phenomenal on current consoles. There is hope though, Killer Instinct had almost a 20 year hiatus before releasing on the XBox One. The hope would be Konami is interested in reviving it or at some point another company want to purchase it. Konami has definitely been sleeping on its IPs with the exception of Metal Gear. There’s a lot of nostalgic games, I would spend mad money on if they released or even re-released.

The real reason for the Petshop ban, is not because it can fly or too small. It's because its has ability to hold attack button and build up and drop Icicle from top side of the screen, even while blocking. It make attacking Petshop almost impossible, because he can drop those icicle at anytime after it appear on screen. It has no attack animation, don't interrupt his movement, and don't need to use all his attack button (and he still got his stand attack) and Petshop can combo into TOD from those Icicle. So basically, Petshop block attack > Drop Icicle on enemy that stuck in attack animation > TOD > Win.

"pet shop is a joke character" JoJo itself doesn't take itself seriously, but pet shop is one of the most badass stand users in part 3, after watching david production's adaption. this, of course, coming from a series that makes you assume that only anything smart enough to be self aware can use a stand but ends up giving them to any random animal

Alessi is closer to an actual joke character

Pet Shop IS self aware, though. Animals with Stands have their intelligence increased along with gaining their powers, becoming as smart as humans at the least. Iggy's inner monologue even said that Pet Shop wasn't just a vicious killer, but a sadist on par with DIO himself.

I think you have a somewhat loose definition of the term "joke character". I never thought of Chronos the Phoenix as a joke character.
