10 More Video Game Secrets That Were A Waste Of Time

10. Lizardman - Soulcalibur II

Secret unlockables are the bread and butter of fighting games and the Soulcalibur series is no stranger to that. Soulcalibur II had a few bonus characters, one of which was Lizardman, based on a similar fighter from the first game.

You’d think it would be cruel to mark a fighting game character down as a "waste of time" but Lizardman is as close as you can get. Firstly, you can’t view his command list like other characters for some reason, despite the fact he had appeared in the previous game, thus making him harder to master. Moreover, Lizardman isn’t even usable in most of the game’s modes which makes him not all that appealing a character to get good with anyway.

It’s a tough road to beat all of the Weapon Master challenges and unlock Lizardman at the end, one that many Soulcalibur II players gave up on on the way… and they didn’t really miss out on much because of it.

It’s likely that Lizardman was a late addition to the game but if you can’t make a character function fully then why bother at all? The character is a shadow of his former appearance in the original Soulcalibur. Thankfully, he would be redeemed in Soulcalibur III but this only serves to reiterate how disappointing this appearance truly is.
