Video Game’s Top 5 Punches
Video game weapons have certainly evolved greatly over the years, from a simple flower granting the ability to throw fire to an actual nuclear bomb. But even with a fully stocked armory nothing changes the fact that sometimes all you really need to deliver some pain is a nice solid fist. Before we go to the list here’s the criteria, it just has to be a fist, it can have a power up on it, but as long as the character is making a fist and hitting somebody with said fist it counts. So it’s time to knuckle up while we take a look at video game’s top 5 punches.
5. Rayman’s Punch
Now I know what you’re thinking, “Rayman is a kids game,” but lets look at the facts about Rayman. The dude doesn’t have arms. His hands are just floating by his sides waiting to punch seven shades of shit out of anybody who wants a piece. Also his punch is like a boomerang, he’ll throw a punch and even if you dodge it the knuckles will come right back and hit you from behind. Rayman may have lost his touch in recent titles but as far as I’m concerned, Rayman can brawl with the best.
4. Wolverine’s Adamantium Claw Punch
Now getting punched by Wolverine with his original bone claws would be no walk in the park, but that doesn’t even compare to his punch after metallic cosmetic surgery There is no block for three razor sharp yard sticks coming right at your organs. Hell, even with the claws retracted taking a punch from a fist cased in indestructible metal would probably go right through my beer belly. Package all this with an accelerated healing factor puts Wolverine at the number 4 spot.
3. Kratos’ Cestus
Granted we don’t know for a fact if Kratos is making a fist in the lion gloves but lets be honest, no one open hand slaps mythological creatures of destruction. The Cestus gloves used to belong to Hercules, but Kratos was kind enough to take them off his hands (pun intended). With them Kratos can actually cause a god pain, do you realize the severity of that statement, a freaking god. Atheist can thank Kratos for making sure no gods exist, when he punched through their divine flesh and actually ended their immortal lives. Kratos, we thank you for the punishment you’ve given to others for our enjoyment. The Cestus takes the number 3 spot.
2. Mike Tyson’s One Punch
This is the only punch on the list that the gamer is not controlling and what a punch it is. Iron Mike was at the peak of his career when this game came out, he was the only real boxer in the game. When you finally made it to this final boss after having to remember 11 other boxers’ every move just to get one hit in, you meet Mike Tyson. Who just waltzes right up punches you once and it’s over. Even if you manage to get up at the expense of your thumbs it only takes another one punch from this monster. Then he has the audacity to wink at you while you’re on the mat gasping for air. A one punch knock out. Is it fair? No. Is it worthy as being the number 2 greatest video game punch of all time? Yes.
1. Berserk Punch
What could be worse than a one punch knock out? A one punch explosion. Doom was revolutionary for many reasons, but it’s number 1 on this list because it showed that with the right medicine you can punch your way to victory. Just the look of it is so awesome, to see your enemy in an instant combusted into a pile of blood and demon pieces and the only thing you see is a manly hairy arm with a fist at the end responsible for the chaos. Berserk punch is number 1 and I don’t see it falling in the ranks for a long time.
