8 Video Game Character Cameos That Made You Go "What?!"

6. Heihachi - Smash Court Tennis Pro Tournament 2

With a game title that long it's pretty indicative that this is going to be an experience stuffed full of content right? Well you'd be right in that regard, but more fool you if you thought all that tasty meat was going to be solely centred around tennis.

This is because, seemingly out of nowhere you can indeed unlock Tekken and Soul Calibur character, including Raphiel and Ling. Easily the strangest appearance is of the big bad grandad that is Heihachi Mishima. Now big H here is no stranger to cropping up in other fighting games, having done the rounds for Soul Calibur 2, but this is so... odd.

The sight of the evil business owner/wannabe tyrant of the world picking up a racket instead of kicking up one is utterly baffling, as is the fact that he takes losses rather well, whereas in the Iron Fist tournament he'd likely get his goons to riddle you with bullets and then drop you into a volcano.

It's kind of his thing.
