(Video by MrTopTenList, additional gameplay footage and editing work by A.T. Gonzalez and Sam Gonzalez)

Fighting game conventions started off somewhat grounded and plausible but largely exaggerated, taking tidbits and tropes utilized in Eastern Martial arts myths, legends, and media. 30 years later, we have all sorts of science fiction and fantasy-inspired ne’er-do-wells existing side by side with the human characters in the rosters of our favorite versus competitive games.

To celebrate the advent of Halloween, YouTuber MrTopTenList covers his personal “Top Ten Demons” in fighting games. This video countdown covers the creeps and cretins that populate fighting games, from Street Fighter’s Akuma to Killer Instinct’s Omen and even Nyotengu from Dead or Alive. Watch the video for the full 10!
