8 Video Game Special Moves That Made You Say WHAT?!

5. Beautiful Memory - Dark Stalkers

Guilty Gear Xrd Faust Stimulating Fists Of Annihilation
Konami

Of all the underrated fighting games out there, Darkstalkers is utter royalty, weirdly making it the most celebrated game you've likely never played.

Yet you'd be an utter oxy-moron (Welsh for carrot, by the way) if you passed up on the opportunity to play the original, because as fighting games go, this is both fantastically strange and brilliantly engaging in equal measure.

The character roster is utterly insane to boot, allowing you to play as mammoth mummies, voluptuous vampires, whatever the hell Lord Raptor is meant to be, and of course B.B. Hood, a Red Riding Hood facsimile with some utterly brutal moves at her disposal.

From whipping out a rocket launcher, to utterly bricking you with her picnic basket, to shooting you point blank with an uzi, it's hilarious to see the contrast between her sweet exterior and the violent side just underneath. Yet of all her special moves, none will make you question quite what you've seen more than "Beautiful Memory", in which B.B. will reminisce about her sweet grandmother causing her to cry floods of tears, which she then drowns her opponent with moments later.

Oh, but not before stabbing them a few times with a pair of knives she had tucked away. As I said, this game is strange.
