10 Weirdest Unlockable Video Game Characters You Have To Get RIGHT NOW

8. Gon - Tekken 3

Despite Tekken's mostly serious narrative, Namco loves to throw in goofy unlockable characters, including a genetically-enhanced kangaroo, a living dummy, a panda, and a scientist with back problems.

However, one combatant that's worth singling out is Gon, who only featured in Tekken 3. At first, Gon seems incredibly similar to Alex. After all, they're both dinosaurs wearing boxing gloves.

However, Gon is anything but a carbon copy of Alex, since he has one major advantage over everybody else in the game. Due to his small height, the diminutive dino can evade most normal attacks with ease. As such, taller characters struggle to pull off moves or combos on the prehistoric lizard, since their punches and kicks are often met with air. 

Gon's movements are quick, so he can sneak below his opponent, catching them unaware with his fire breath, tail spins, and gas attacks.

Now, that's not suggesting Gon is an incredible fighter. He has limited reach, doesn't deal much damage, and lacks complex combos. But if you want to watch your friends lose the will to live because they can't hit your character, Gon is the best choice.
