A Guest Fighter is a character that doesn't belong in the setting who just shows up in a Video Game, especially a Fighting Game. It seems like if a Fighting Game hasn't had a Crossover, it has had a Guest Fighter. The name comes from the Super Smash Bros Brawl website, in which the name is used to refer to Solid Snake and Sonic the Hedgehog, the two characters that are outside Nintendo's ownership. In nearly all cases, those characters are The Unexpected, so Guest Fighter can be considered a subtrope of that. Examples of Guest Fighter include:

It seems like if a Fighting Game hasn't had a Crossover, it has had a Guest Fighter. Guest Fighters are quite the Base Breaker; depending on who you ask, they are either awesome and hilarious because they're fishes out of water bringing all their superpowers and continuity nods to the conflict or detracting from the premise of the established fictional universe and/or a cheap cash grab because they're... fishes out of water. That being said, the Guest Fighters least likely to inflict base breaking are the fishes whose styles and settings are more in water, such as Link in Soulcalibur II or Freddy Krueger in Mortal Kombat 9, or guests in Massive Multiplayer Crossover games in which case there is no such thing as a fish out of water. And even then, it's still not a sure bet.
