10 Other Fighting Games That Should Feature Wrestlers In Their Rosters
1. Guilty Gear
No fighting game has ever had a roster as unique as the one seen in Arc's original long running fighting game brand, Guilty Gear. Since its inception on the original Playstation, the series has brought players a world of eclectic and eccentric characters with forward thinking offences. One carries sniper rifles, another uses a pool cue, setting and breaking, sending balls all over the screen, and another never leaves his bed, aptly named, Bedman.
Essentially, Guilty Gear welcomes in the craziest gimmicks that wrestling is known for. So a unique game with unique fighters deserves unique wrestlers who mesh with their already androgynous, grotesque, and alluring designs.
Wrestlers like Finn Balor with his demonic paint and spooky counters, The Fiend who uses horrifying mind-games and a brutal mallet, or Matt Hardy, with his broken brilliance could all not simply survive in Guilty Gear's ranks, but thrive, maybe even enjoying more popularity in the game than in wrestling.
It's often been said that in wrestling the most successful characters are wrestlers who simply play themselves with the volume at 11, but for those ones that go beyond that limit and break the dial twice-over, they've found their dream home in the heavily stylized world of Guilty Gear.
