5 hours to find the least probable Goku on Nexus Mods
Every game has two lives: the initial launch and the inevitable reincarnation when a modder decides to drop Goku into the mix. This cosmic phenomenon, the eternal drive to transform beloved characters, means that eventually, all video games will conform to the axiom that a Goku exists within them, even if it’s the least probable of all.
But not all Gokus are created equal. When countless modders pour their creative energy into populating game worlds with the Saiyan, the resulting characters are wildly inconsistent. To find the most singular, the most uncanny, or the least probable Goku on Nexus Mods requires a rigorous, if slightly absurd, approach. I set up a mission to scour the modding landscape and establish a definitive standard, using a custom metric I call the Saiyan Singularity Judgment.
The SSJ score is an average of three criteria: Gokuitude (how recognizably Goku he is), Limit Breakability (how much he should, yet doesn’t, exist in the game), and Wish Grantology (how well the mod delivers the fantasy of playing Goku in that specific environment).
The results paint a fascinating picture of modding ambition. We have straightforward swaps, like the Hey its me Goku mod for Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3, which scored a respectable 4.17. There are mods that make sense, such as the DragonBall Z Overhaul Project for Skyrim, which earned a 4.3 by adding punch sound samples. Yet, the results range wildly, showcasing the sheer creativity of the modding community.
Some mods land lower on the spectrum, reflecting a simpler, less ambitious approach. For instance, the DragonBall mod in Oblivion scored a low 2.3, suggesting that while the concept exists, the execution might be less seamless. Meanwhile, some mods push the boundaries to astonishing heights. The Son Goku mod for Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 earned a staggering 8.7, suggesting that the sheer audacity of putting Goku on a skateboard is pure, unadulterated fantasy.
But the true anomaly emerges when we consider the most complex and transformative mods. The highest scoring Goku is arguably the Goku Mode mod for Doom Eternal, which achieved a phenomenal SSJ score of 9.67. This mod doesn’t just swap a texture; it fundamentally rearranges the game’s physics and combat mechanics, forcing Goku’s presence into a third-person, melee-focused environment complete with ki blast mechanics. It’s an effort that spans gameplay styles and mod hosting platforms to make Goku punch Doom demons—a true miracle of digital imagination.
Ultimately, the hunt for the least probable Goku reveals that the true singularity isn’t found in simple swaps, but in those modders willing to challenge reality itself. And perhaps, the least probable Goku is the one that proves that if you just imagine it hard enough, you can make it real.
