Looking at things in a logical fashion, Brock Lesnar should arguably be the most powerful character in WWE 2K16. Somewhat shockingly, he's not, but he is one of the best to use. In the real life WWE, Lesnar dominates opponents during his matches, a booking ploy designed to reflect his work in Mixed Martial Arts, as well as his intimidation factor. In the game, the same thing can be said. Credit to 2K Sports, they have wonderfully captured what it would be like to work a match as Brock Lesnar. His strikes are meaty, and he has a large variety of suplexes, general power moves and submission holds in his repertoire. It feels good to batter others as Brock, which is exactly how it should be. Most of his stats are especially high, and he can soak up a lot of punishment. Crucially, the F-5 is easy to perform, and harks back to older finishers in the WWE series of games. In the past, finishing moves were nigh-on impossible to kick out of, which isn't the case now. With the F-5, there's a throwback of sorts, making it one of the best moves in the game.
