Big Rumble Boxing: Creed Champions is an arcade boxing game with controls that are simple to grasp but difficult to master. It boasts a roster of 20 total boxers, including those from the Rocky-Creed movie franchise.
Below, you will find a full roster breakdown, including the style archetype of each boxer (General, Slugger, Swarmer), and how to unlock them for play in Arcade and Versus mode.
1. Luke “Scraps” O’Grady
Swarmer: Unlocked at start
A quick boxer with lightning-fast combos, O’Grady is the stereotypical Irish boxer. He has a bit of flair to his movements, including a wicked Super.
2. Axel “El Tigre” Ramírez
Swarmer: Unlocked at start
“El Tigre” is another Swarmer who seems to give up a little speed to O’Grady in favor of a little more power. He has a dangerous two-punch Super.
3. Andy “Mad Dog” Pono
General: Unlocked at start
The first General, Pono is one of the larger Generalists and not as quick as others – but he is a little stronger. He boxes in his security fit.
4. Viktor Drago
Slugger: Unlocked at start
The son of Ivan Drago, the younger Drago, is the first Slugger on the list. He’s actually smaller than Pono in the game, but shows that size does not always equal style. As a Slugger, his punches deal more damage than the other archetypes.
5. Adonis “Hollywood” Creed
General: Unlocked at start
The titular character of the spinoff franchise, Creed packs a nifty four-punch Super to the head and body. His Arcade Mode story also extends the events of the movies.
6. Rocky “The Italian Stallion” Balboa
Slugger: Unlocked at start
The iconic figure of Balboa plays a key role in the younger Creed’s Arcade Mode story, as his confidant and mentor. In Big Rumble Boxing: Creed Champions, Balboa as a playable character evokes the Balboa from the first Rocky movie.
7. Ricky “Pretty Ricky” Conlan
General: Unlocked at start
What is notable about Conlan in the game is that his physique (of those shown) is not as hyperbolic as those of Drago or Balboa, for example. Creed’s erstwhile rival, he makes an appearance in Creed’s Arcade Mode run as well.
8. Leo “The Lion” Sporino
Swarmer: Unlocked at start
Sporino may be the quickest fighter in the game. His combos and ability to chain (along with the other Swarmers) could spell trouble for you if caught against the ropes.
9. Vick “The Gambler” Rivera
Swarmer: Unlocked at start
Rivera comes off as the most aloof boxer in the game, but do not let that fool you. He is also notable for wearing jeans as his main skin.
10. David “Solo” Nez
Slugger: Unlocked at start
If O’Grady was the Irish stereotype, Nez is the Native American counterpart. He lumbers a bit like the other Sluggers, but packs a big punch and a clobbering Super.
11. Bobby “The Operator” Nash
General: Unlocked through Versus Mode
As his nickname suggests, Nash boxes more as a technician in the game. He can still land a flurry of punches, though, so watch out. Nash was the last boxer unlocked during gameplay.
12. Erik “The Norseman” Erling
Slugger: Unlocked through Versus Mode
As his name suggests, Erling is a Viking stereotype down to his facial hair and nickname. He is one of the few Sluggers that has a lightning-quick combo. Erling was the first fighter unlocked through Versus Mode in our playthrough.
13. Hector “Anarchy” Del Rosario
General: Unlocked through Versus Mode
In keeping with his mohawk, the game notes that Del Rosario was the front man for a band before making the switch to boxing. He boxes with the flair and flamboyance of a lead singer in a band.
14. Ivan Drago
Slugger: Unlocked through Versus Mode
The main villain of the movie franchises, the elder Drago looks as he did in the first Rocky movie. He might be the tallest fighter in the game, but his one-punch Super deals massive damage.
15. Benjamin “Benji” Reid
General: Unlocked by beating Arcade Mode with Adonis Creed
The antagonist of Arcade Mode, the fancy clothes and grey hair belie a formidable fighter. He might be the quickest Generalist in the game, and has a nasty one-punch body shot Super.
16. Apollo “The Power of Punch” Creed
Swarmer: Unlocked through Versus Mode
The elder Creed evokes his movie image, and has a different style in-game compared to his son. He is unique in that his two-punch Super is both with his lead left hand, a hook and then an uppercut.
17. Danny “Stuntman” Wheeler
Swarmer: Unlocked through Versus Mode
Portrayed by former world champion Andre Ward in the movies, Wheeler retains the imagery and is one of the most formidable fighters in the game. Do not let him corner you and unleash his flurry of strikes!
18. Duane “Showstopper” Reynolds
Slugger: Unlocked through Arcade Mode
One of the slower fighters, Reynolds is still a foe to be wary of due to his power. He also has a green trunks-and-gloves set as his main skin, which stands out – especially as his gloves light up for his Super.
19. James “Clubber” Lang
Slugger: Unlocked through Versus Mode
The legendary Mr. T portrayed Lang in the movie franchise, and his visage remains. He has a powerful one-punch uppercut Special that will send your opponent flying.
20. Asif “The Basher” Bashir
General: Unlocked through Versus Mode
Bashir is another Generalist whose speed and quickness might make you think that he is better suited as a Swarmer. Having the speed of a Swarmer without the compromised defense and strength of a Generalist that is not offset by speed like a Slugger, Bashir is a powerful foe.
Anyone looking to unlock everything should note that completing Arcade Mode will unlock all of the skins for that character. However, if you do not want to go through Arcade, you can unlock them slowly through Versus Mode. After unlocking all characters, the challenger ribbon will fill up. Once you box and defeat that fighter, you will unlock one of their skins. Again, though, this is a much slower process.
There you have it: the full roster and how to obtain them for Big Rumble Boxing: Creed Champions. If you wanted the chance to box as either Creed or Drago, you have your chance now! If you wanted the chance to defeat them, this is also your chance!
