Sophitia – SoulCalibur Series

One of the main characters in SoulCalibur, she represents the Greek pantheons to destroy the Soul Edge blade. Later on in the timeline, she spawned two kids who end up making that century hell because of their affinity towards Soul Edge. She’s making a comeback in SoulCalibur VI.

Nina Williams, Jun Kazama, Michelle Chang – Tekken Series

Props again for Tekken to feature a ton of fighting game mothers. Nina is an Irish assassin who is the biological mother of boxer Steve Fox, while Jun is the mother of Jin Kazama, the third game’s devilish protagonist. Oh, and also the wife of hero-turned-villain-turned-antihero Kazuya Mishima.

These days, you can fight Jun as a magical wolf-beast thing called Unknown. Michelle Chang is the daughter of the series’ popular nature-loving kenpo artist Julia Chang.

Out of all the three, Nina has made the most appearances in a Tekken game. However, Michelle is the most responsible one since her kid turned out alright and preserving the family name and forest-saving profession. Albeit using unconventional methods.

Crimson Viper – Street Fighter IV

Better late than never. Capcom added in a mother who has flames coming out of her kicks and has a long-ass braided ponytail. A shame she isn’t around for her kid except during times of convenience.

Ana – Overwatch

We cap off this list with this nurturing “Mother I Love as a Friend”. She’s got your back, she can heal your team really well, and she’s a good mom to rocket queen Pharah. Plus she can let loose and play dress-up as a pirate once in a while.

We all wish we had Pharah’s mom in our lives at one point. Especially one who watches over us with her eagle eye.
