Didn’t realize that so many big name characters in video games were made by, basically random people lol I love these kind of stories
The NPC Bozo Ozob that appears in Cyberpunk 2077 was also fan created. It's an RPG character created by a Brazilian podcaster. He even voices the clown in the Portuguese version of the game.
CLEM!
Yuo*
Okay that last one was a cheat, they need to change that one
Ahh, good old Leroy, u could easy consider him the first meme, but the fun we WoW players have with him not to mention all the references everywhere, from comics to anime to tv shows, makes him a very unique.
Crazy to think that Star Wars fans were actually listened to A LONG TIME AGO, at a Lucasfilm FAR FAR AWAY.
🥰
where's randal the vandal
10. i guess fan think mr. pac man is lonely.
9. i guess a error became a character.
5. akuma seem fitting of this, ryu and ken's sensei does not fight to kill like them.
Good thing Digimon weren't included cause there's a lot of fan made canon Digimon in the games. Though since they're monsters would they be on a list of fan made canon monsters? Who knows.
So made a character that never became a character number 1 thats nice
Pho, i glaub die bruchts emal ordentli. Cool game 🙂
Don't forget WoW also has a Leeroy Jenkins achievement
Correction to the Akuma entry: Sheng Long was not kept a mystery, and Gouken probably deserves a spot on this list alongside Akuma because his eventual inclusion into the series as we know him was also spawned by the EGM April Fools joke. "Sheng Long" was just a mistranslation of Shoryuken/Dragon Punch, so the Ryu win quote that started the whole secret master fiasco, "You must defeat Sheng Long to stand a chance," was actually "You must defeat my Shoryuken/Dragon Punch to stand a chance." It should also be mentioned that the Sheng Long joke was successfully pulled of AGAIN by EGM for SFIII in 1997, where they convinced tons of people that Capcom finally did put him into the game as a nod to the original joke. When Gouken was finally introduced in SFIV, his design was heavily influenced by that of the doctored images from EGM. Those images also showed the first instance of the flaming Shoryuken, which Capcom would give to Ken in Super SFII. The SFIII Sheng Long joke showed him having the ability to throw low and high Hadoukens with one hand, which no doubt was an inspiration for Gouken being able to throw them at multiple angles with one hand in SFIV, as well as his EX Hadouken resembling one of the attacks pictured in the 97 EGM joke.
Outside of some Mugen mods, Sheng Long was pretty much just dismissed as a mistranslation that gave birth to Gouken and not an actual character, until the Shadaloo Combat Research Institute was introduced by Capcom for SFV that provided profiles of essentially every character in the Street Fighter universe. There you can find an entry on Sheng Long that gives the entire history of the hoax, but they also gave him a profile picture that's pretty clearly a jab at Heihachi and Jinpachi Mishima from Tekken (similar to how Dan was a jab at SNK for basically being Art of Fighting's Robert Garcia's head on Ryo Sakazaki's body). So while "Sheng Long" hasn't really been a mystery for a long time, they made sure there's no mystery to it now.
Ok it was weird actually see her read the script. They should have cut that part
Anyone else get the bedroom eyes vibe from her since the camera is slight up higher… Lol
McNeil always reminds me of the Futurama episode when the Omicronians invade earth and that is the name of the Ally McBeal spoof.
I really got shocked when she said Tom Cruise … even for a split-second !!!!
Randal the vandal from destiny?
Female joker
Looking forward to glaive master hodir
Pretty soon Craig for Halo Infinite will be on this list since it was confirmed there will be an Easter egg for him to be in the game when it comes out.
Gimme a second, I'm gonna test this line, then we can do the final cut, rightie?
