We Love our Fighting Game Characters around these parts, but its no stretch to say many of the most Legendary Fighting Game Characters of all time whose legacies span 30+ years... came from something else. Even though many are legends in their own right now many characters had a little help out the door in terms of inspiration in either moveset, look, or just general vibes.
