I think it depends a lot on the context. Ghostiger put up a good link on why 'cheapness' in vs fighting games usually depends more on the players.
Having said that, the 'cheapest' characters I've seen are\were usually some boss characters in coin op beat'em up. There are some bosses that can only be practically be beaten by basically putting more coins in the machine. If you want a name, I'll throw out Ezerhorden from D&D: Shadow over Mystara.
Though if you want just the cheapest, imo some spaceship side scrolling\top down shooters boast the most candidates for that prize. Unless you're a video game savant ie: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wizard_(movie)
