12 Most Hated Fighting Game Characters

5. NANCY-MI8473J - Tekken 6

Nancy Tekken
Bandai Namco

Tekken 6's Nancy is a complete joke. Even now, years later, it's hard to gauge what the developers were actually thinking when they put this hulking mechanical boss into their fighting game.

Were they trying to give players the ultimate challenge? Throw in an unbeatable joke they could secretly laugh at as players got their ass beaten? Or was it a fevered bout of insanity that at the time seemed like a good idea?

That's because Nancy, who is thankfully a totally optional challenge, has a health bar ten times larger than your average Tekken foe. That's already an intense endurance test, but the hell doesn't stop there, as the opponent is completely overpowered on top of being virtually invincible.

There are laser attacks that take up most of the screen, and the glass floor you're fighting on can even be smashed. There aren't any tricks up Nancy's sleeve the robot won't use, and you'll be thanking the lords of Tekken that you don't need to beat it.
