I find most incarnations of reptile to be awful -- which confuses me. A lizard man should be cool in theory

That bottom one is actually sickening. Looks like an Oblivion character.

I actually like the outfit, the problem is the hair.
The mix of banana hair and this outfit makes him look terrible.
Abigail and Rufus are impossible for me to look at on purpose. I can't even search them to include images.
It's gotta be Rufus, right?
Hmm I think aesthetically he looks great. Nothing like the abomination posted in the OP.
I really couldn't get into any of the Clayfighters, but I think it was the aesthetic at large that did not appeal to me.
Also, certain characters in the Turtles fighting game (SNES) were very meh.

Almost every character from the tekken series, over designed, tacky, edgy, try-hard trash with a few notable exceptions.
The games are great but the character design is butt tier.
Yeah Abigail is a good pick, awful design but the dude is super fun to play, at least some of his alt costumes were okish.

Imagine using Abigail
Alt outfits don't count but post ugly ones regardless.

Rufus is pretty awful but a lot of SF4's aesthetic was kind of crummy, from the muppet faces to the weird proportions that didn't translate well from the artwork to the models. SFV ain't the best for that, but it has, at least, a more consistent style (somehow, since so many of the later characters were outsourced).
Fahkumran is abysmal, to me, moreso than probably any Tekken character previous.
Sylvie from KOF14 is kind of bad, but I think she looks kind of okay in other media. That game's art direction did it zero favors.
The music is good, the attempt at an arena brawler was... passable but good lord almost all of the designs in the game were awful.

Pretty much. If this isn't limited to major IPs there are dozens SF2 and MK clones released in the 90s that have seen far worse.
Though I'd say Voldo is a special kind of not aesthetically pleasing. Which btw is not the same as bad design.
I'm joking Ken isn't that bad.
He's still pretty bad though.
Yeah the banana hair and the groucho marx eyebrows really spoiled what was a pretty good design overall.

Ah, you mean most aesthetically pleasing fighting game characters. Abigail is beautiful the way he is.
Even something as simple as unrolling the left pant leg and changing his hair color to purple would go along way in making the design feel more cohesive. But even then, there are just too many parts that clash with each other.

Overdesigned trash.
thisArea from SFEX/Fighting Layer. Textbook "What the hell were you thinking" character. She was my gold standard in horribly designed characters for the longest time.
How you gonna have a Belial profile pic but stan for Abigail. Come on now, your profile pic shows you're better than that.
that's terrifying
The Amiga had a lot of lumpy unaesthetic nightmare folk.
