We all know that hairstyles in video games allow character designers to outdo themselves, and sometimes, defy gravity. But that’s the beauty of artistic freedom, giving us some truly unique, and, let’s be honest, bizarre characters. Or should we say, bizarre haircuts? Cosplayers everywhere, struggling to create these hairstyles, we see you and admire your dedication.
One important question remains, though: what do these characters look like when they get out of bed the next morning? Anyway, let’s dive into the most bizarre and unique hairstyles in video game history and explore how they push the limits of hair fashion.
8Guile - Street Fighter
Same Iconic Hairstyle Since 1987
Let’s start with a classic: Guile fromStreet Fighter. His flat top looks like he survived a head-on collision with an industrial compactor. Seriously, it’s like he put his head in a machine and came out with a perfect horizontal line, flatter than a freshly ironed sheet.
Since his debut, he’s rocked the same iconic hairstyle, never changing, always gravity-defying. The best part? He always has a comb with him that looks like a mini machete. Maybe that’s his secret. Iconic, enduring, and as sharp as ever.
7Cereza - Bayonetta
Multitasking Hair
At first glance, inBayonetta, Cereza’s hair looks fairly tame by video game standards… until she activates Umbran Climax mode. Suddenly, her hair becomes not just a style, but a weapon, a wardrobe, and actual demon creatures.
It’s like a Swiss army knife that never leaves her head. Cereza’s hair has more jobs than most of us can handle in a lifetime. It even opens portals to alternate dimensions. And the more hair she has, the more power she can handle. I’ll send a resume directly to her hair.
6Haircut Options - Fallout 3
Apocalyptic Hairstyle Fashion: Fall Winter 2777
Sure, there has been a nuclear apocalypse inFallout 3, so maybe haircuts aren’t the top priority. But have you seen the haircut options and the names?
Options like “The Unsettler”, “Seductress”, and “Lil’s Devil” sound like they were picked from a bad dating app. And the winner? “Fallen Angels”, looks like two brooms glued to the sides of your head, plus, the cherry on the top, two little tufts in the front for flair. These hairstyles really say out loud: SLAY.
5Heihachi Mishima - Tekken
Immortal Spikes
Heihachi Mishima’s hair, fromTekken, is the “Fallen Angels” look from Fallout 3, but with steroids. He may be an older man with a physique that puts young bodybuilders to shame, but his real power lies in those gravity-defying spikes.
It’s like a bulldozer ran over his head, but somehow his spikes survived. Back in his youth, Heihachi had all this hair, but the spikes? Always there. Whether you’re more intimidated by his muscles or his hair is up for debate, but one thing is certain: Heihachi’s hair screams “Don’t mess with me”.
4Daryan Crescend - Ace Attorney
The Power Of Pompadour
Darian Crescend from Apollo Justice:Ace Attorneyis the proud owner of the world’s most intense pompadour. If there were a Guinness World Record of Pompadour height, he’d win hands down. His hair is so big it barely fits on the screen.
The amount of neck strength this man must have to keep that thing upright is admirable. And honestly, his hair shows more emotion than he does, often reflecting his mood like a character of its own. It’s like his hair is saying: “Let me handle it, Daryan”. Iconic.
3General Lionwhyte - Brutal Legend
Hair Wings
Trying to describe General Lionwhyte’s hair from Brutal Legend is like trying to describe the impossible, words just don’t do it justice. Think of the famous Jareth the Goblin King, played by David Bowie, but with, let’s say, a little too much hair lotion.
It’s a mass of luscious locks so voluminous it allows him to fly. Yes, you heard that right, his hair transforms into hairy wings. It’s a wild tangle of part elegance and part chaos, and we have to wonder: how does his hat stay on through all of it? Magic? Glue? We’ll never know.
2Musashi - Samurai Legend
It’s Not Just Hair, It’s A Signature
Mushasi’s hairstyle from Samurai Legend isn’t just a look, it’s a statement. Actually, it’s more than that, it’s a signature, literally. His hair is so iconic that it’s featured prominently on the game’s cover.
This hair defies the law of physics, sharp and jagged like a wild lightning arrow, with impossible angles that not even a physicist could explain. He could probably use it as a weapon and should call Cereza for pieces of advice. F in the chat to anyone brave enough to try cosplaying Musashi.
1Seymour Guado - Final Fantasy X
A Futuristic Work Of Art
The crown (literally and figuratively) for the weirdest style goes to Seymour Guado From Final Fantasy X. Now,Final Fantasyis notorious for giving us countless characters with the most improbable hairstyles ever seen. Seriously, it’s like the Olympics of weird hairstyles, but Mister Guado got the gold medal.
His hair is not just hair, it’s a sculpture, a work of futuristic art that could be placed in a museum. It’s the Maman of Louise Bourgeois in hair form. He surely has Musashi’s stylist on speed dial to keep his hair like that. We have to shake the hand of the man who created this. True masterpiece.
