Top 10 Worst Fighting Games of All Time

The Top Ten

  1. Shaq Fu

    I have no idea how they did it, but somehow they took the already stupid idea of this game and made it even dumber. At best, this is just Street Fighter with a basketball player shoved into it. At worst, it's utterly baffling, with the choices they make in the story and character department.

    This includes giving the Rainbow of Doom a story in which it's a sugar-coated piece of graffiti that's then dumped in the garbage (yes, seriously). I'm pretty sure the facial expressions in this game are designed to be the most unsettling things ever. The characters have none of the charm or effort.

    There's a stupid boss. There's no logic to how the game's world works. I'm pretty sure I've gone insane from how bad this game was.

  2. Survival Arts

    I hate this game. It's the worst game I've ever played. What I hate most about this game is Mongo.

  3. Tattoo Assassins

    9,235,867,834,129 weird fatalities in one fighting game. Need we say more?

  4. Kasumi Ninja

    I don't think you could find something more dead on arrival than this. Several prominent gamers, including a few of my inspirations, have taken a swing at this one. I really wouldn't be adding much except beating a dead ninja (or Gyaku, as is the case), but it feels like it shouldn't exist.

    The graphics are awful-looking. Most of the special moves come out of nowhere and range from mediocre to horrendous. Most of the characters are either idiots or annoying.

    Look, even if you have the Jaguar, there are worse things you can expose it to. But whether you win or lose, at least it's something practical.

  5. Fight for Life

    This game spent forever in development and was supposed to be the game that would save what was left of the Atari Jaguar. Instead, it became the tired story of a bunch of idiots fighting in hell.

  6. Time Killers

  7. Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe

    Stupidest idea ever. It should go to hell.

  8. Rise of the Robots

  9. Pit-Fighter

    The Super Nintendo version is the worst port. It has unforgiving difficulty, no way to recover health after each fight, and no continues.

  10. Shrek: Fairy Tale FreakDown

    There's a reason fighting games were never meant to work on the Game Boy. There are barely enough moves, the graphics are horrible, and there is only one song for the entire game.

    11. The Newcomers
  11. ?

    Urban Champion

    You'll quickly get sick of this game after three rounds and have no desire to keep playing. The punches are really delayed, and it's all a matter of luck whether they hit the opponent. This gives the opponent a lot of time to dodge and opens you up for a hit.

  12. ?

    ClayFighter: Sculptor's Cut

    Boring and repetitive. It's a game that sells for an insane amount of money, but it isn't worth the price people are asking for it.

    13. The Contenders

  13. Way of the Warrior

    Another crappy rip-off of Mortal Kombat.

    Shaky Jake, Fox, High Abbot - these characters are horrible, and the game is too.

  14. ClayFighter 63⅓

  15. Shadow: War of Succession

  16. Kabuki Warriors

  17. Strip Fighter II

  18. ClayFighter

  19. Fight Club

  20. Ballz 3D

    This is one of the most boring games I've ever played. They're trying to make puns during the battle, but what do they have to say about it? It's always the same, and people who have no relevance to the story don't get to share in the main character's stories.

    Speaking of which, our leads are either shallow or jealous jerks. Also, these people may be trapped in some strange time loop because... fighting. The AI is cheap, and a lot of jokes are described while happening off-screen. Also, the plot was done better in the director's cut (a cheapquel).

  21. Capcom Fighting Evolution

    80% of the roster is Street Fighter characters, and the other 20% are Darkstalkers and Red Earth characters. The tag-team mechanic is pointless and adds nothing to an already mediocre fighting game. This game has horrible graphics and sound.

  22. Doomsday Warrior

  23. Street Fighter: The Movie

  24. The Simpsons Wrestling

    A wrestling simulator based on "The Simpsons"? Even if non-canon, and as a wrestling simulator loaded with funny characters, this could have been awesome! Unfortunately, it's just shameful - badly made as a wrestling simulator. But at least it's better than "Adventure Time: Explore the Dungeon Because I Don't Know"!

    Probably one of the worst Simpsons games.

  25. Sonic the Fighters

  26. Samurai Shodown Sen

  27. Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite
