Honorable mentions: solid snake in brawl?

granted there are Nintendo exclusive MGS but solid snake was definitely an odd pick at the time

Soulcalibur IV's Star Wars characters is still pretty wild. Like obvious the series likes guest characters but they typically fit thematically. Yoda looked completely out of place.

Came in to say this. Although, Negan might still be weirder.

Gon in Tekken was pretty weird, but I guess he kind of fit in with the weird side characters.

Spawn in the Xbox version of SC2 and 2B in SC6 were both pretty weird too. At least Link and Ezio both sort of fit the aesthetic of the series.

Yeah because it created an scenario where you can have Negan duke it out with Noctis from FFXV who was another surprising and odd choice.

Link in Soul Calibur II for GameCube is another one

Spawn was weird but like monster-demon people already exist in some capacity, combined with the fact that Link got all the press so nobody paid Spawn (or Heiachi) attention and he didn't quite register. KOS-MOS was a guest character in III but she existed exclusively as a create-a-soul and that game got like zero publicity so she also flew under the radar.

The Star Wars characters were like the forefront of SCIV's marketing so they just stood out so much more.

But yeah, of SC's guest characters I think Link, Ezio, and Geralt fit the setting the best.

Gotta go with Snake in Brawl.

Not only were third party characters not realistically considered by the fanbase at the time, people who did speculate them pretty much just saw as far as Sonic.

So for not only a third party character to appear in that trailer, but for it to be a character who was largely considered a PlayStation mascot at the time... It's still one of the biggest E3 surprises ever for me.

When I was a kid I didn't realize Gon wasn't an original Tekken character. Fit in with the likes of Alex the dinosaur and Angel the angel and Ogre the ogre and True Ogre the bigger ogre.

I would argue that, as hype-inducing as it was, Sonic in Brawl wasn't really a surprise at that point, since once Snake got in and opened the door, pretty much everyone was expecting Sonic to also make it in.

Plus, the first Mario & Sonic Olympic game had been revealed sometime before that, so Sonic appearing alongside Mario and other Nintendo characters wasn't exactly uncharted territory at that point.

Mobage in general can get pretty weird, like Stranger Things.

Granblue Fantasy in particular has a huge number of collabs.

WWE 2K16. I feel bad for buying that because it had been a long time since I played a wrestling game and wanted to try on again. Terminator pushed me over the edge because im such a huge fan. The game sucked.

Trying is the first step towards failure, so just dont give it a shot and you cant dissapoint.

Snake is the biggest surprise.

Star Wars characters in SoulCalibur and a Halo Spartan in DoA are the weirdest choices since they clash so much with the games style.

Remember that period of time where the Gamecube version of EA's sports games had playable Mario characters alongside actual sports players.

Almost forgot, to continue with the trend of strange Mario in sports cameos (although it isn't as weird as the previous example), how the two Mario Basketball games had a cactuar, moogle, ninja, and white/black mages from Final Fantasy.

What I always found jarring about those games is that they were Mario games--albeit spinoffs--developed by Square-Enix, for the first time since the mid-90s, and they didn't add in any characters from Super Mario RPG. Same with the later Fortune Street game.

I guess it shows how little they care for the game, I guess.

Square Enix made the game so that wasn't really weird.

On the subject of Mario and Sonic, announcing the first Olympics game on April 1st was hilarious. People genuinely weren't sure if it was real.
