Guest characters have become a mainstay in fighting games. While some of pretty fitting for the universe that they’re guest fighting it, maybe even to a point where they seem like just a default member of the roster, others make us question why they were brought into the game. They could have a fighting style not meant for the game’s mechanics, or they could just be from a different series that doesn’t mesh well with the fighting game they’ve wandered into. However, in the end, they’re likely fun to play and we’re going to take look at why these characters may have been chosen, despite seeming like a questionable inclusion at first.
