Today marks the release of Machete, a Robert Rodriguez action flick starring a vengeful Danny Trejo as…drum roll, Machete. From what we’ve seen, it’s an hour and 45 bloody minutes of bullets, blades and corpses, just the type of flick we need.
To keep the good vibes flowing, we dug into the video game character database and found a handful of heroes and villains that, like our boy Machete, were named after instruments of destruction.

Killer Instinct is like the forgotten cousin at the fighting game family reunion.
yeah they were such good and fun games but they never really reached the mainstream audience. Killer Instinct was widely known and respected.
Killer instinct is great, especially on snes but it’s not the most underrated fighter.. for me it’s Power Stone. So much potential in this series
Bloody Roar was a game that had a sick concept but wasn’t made the best. I’d say Killer Instinct was the opposite of that, it was well made but the roster of characters were so similar to every other fighting game in that era that it ended up feeling like more of the same. I could be wrong that’s just how I remember it at the time and I played a ton of KI on SNES because it was one of the first games I owned.
I loved this game in the arcade, my main was Jago, Ultra Combo!!! https://www.youtube.com/wat...
I remember trying my hardest to learn that "Ultra... Ultra.... Ultra...." finish. Such a great fighting game.
I can tell you definitely got some SNES time in. The slight differences in the ports due to hardware constraints were interesting. For example, the arcade version was Ultraaaa Coooommboooooooo! versus Ultra….Ultra….Ultra on the SNES.
Though SNES overachieved as a port for as demanding as a game KI was.The arcade version was one of the first cabinets with a dedicated hard drive and the SNES version was 32 megabyte cartridge which was huge for that system at the time.
Yeah, for sure. My local childhood arcade was always packed and it was hard to get a game in but once the SNES version came out, I was hooked. I can still feel the click of the power button.
