10 Video Game Joke Characters That Are Secretly Deadly

The Tekken series is no stranger to wacky characters. The fact that one of its major recurring fighters is a bear that uses his butt and half-eaten salmon as weapons should make so much clear. However, as far as not only the character's design but also their moveset is concerned, there is only one playable protagonist, which is considered a full package of a joke, Mokujin.

Mokujin is a possessed training dummy who looks about as goofy as he plays. He is the only character in the game who doesn't have his own moveset.

Instead, Mokujin randomly borrows his fighting style from all the other cast members, and the only way to figure out which one he currently utilizes is to simply play and find out. For this reason, most Tekken fans consider Mokujin to be a joke, a meme character you pick to get your butt kicked as you have no idea which attack you have.

That said, if you're skilled enough, Mokujin's unique mechanic can actually be his greatest strength.

Since his moveset changes each round and no one knows what it will be, if you're proficient with most characters, Mokujin can act as the ultimate counter that prevents other players from using the same tactics.

It's actually why a lot of Tekken tournaments have banned the character in official fights.
