"Balance? I know not of this 'balance.'"

[VanityGirl]

But Zasamel (sp?) from Soul Calibur 4 is so cheap. You can continuously juggle people with him! I was juggled so much, I couldn't get up, counter or anything. Then I stopped playing online.

OMG I forgot about that cheap motherf*cker!
Yeah, this post is sadly so very, very true.

Thank you! I'm so glad someone else knows what I'm talking about.
I was surprised no one else mentioned him.

Honestly, all fighting games' balance gets on my nerves. Particularly the AI opponents, when the realization came that the AI is good enough that the only reason I'm allowed to beat them at all is because the developers put deliberate vulnerabilities in. Player versus player is at least a bit more forgivable because then it's a real human brain you're up against.

 

[escapist_wolfand]

well yea there are a bunch that are completely unbalanced in most fighting games, and some with just ridiculously cheap moves that can be repeated over and over again, but what makes me more angry is when you have to fight someone or something in a fighting game that is BRAIN EXPLODINGLY hard, and after you've unlocked all the characters you look aaaannnddd..........

THEY AREN'T FUCKING THERE

the one that bugs me the most has got to be Alpha-152 in Dead or Alive 4, not only can she (it?) teleport at will, but she can literally PWN your ass with 2 of 3 hits, she has a grab that can take down a good half of your health, AND ONE THAT CAN DO MORE.

another one has got to be Dark Kahn from Mortal Kombat VS DC Universe

i fucgging HATE him. ugh too tired to detail D8<

 

[escapist_wolfand]

Kilik and his goddamned poke-you-to-death from across the screen combo.

lol it's only annoying when it's happening to you XD, when you do it to someone else...it can be funny haha
NOTE: don't do online unless your playing with friends, bad things happen

One of the cardinal sins involved in creating a fighting game is crafting characters that are just plain overpowered, and I'm not talking about the bosses. Even though it seems every single fighting game nowadays can't go on without a bullshit final fight, that's not the subject for today. That's been done to death.

I'm talking about the fighters that you can actually play. I'm talking about the characters who are just plain unbalanced.

<color=blue>Which ones really get on your nerves?

I've got plenty. First, I'll refer to Street Fighter IV. Two characters who come to mind are Sagat and Abel, both of whom have earned my eternal ire. Well, maybe not Sagat. He's overpowered, yes, but in comparison to Abel, he's fair. Who the hell gives a grappling-based character (Abel) a quick-as-fuck roll towards his opponent, a roll that makes him invulnerable to everything except a grab, and an unblockable throw? I call "bullshit."

It's pretty easy to escape the grab. Jumping usually works just fine, and if you jump up you can come down on him while he's recovering.


I say Sagat. for me most sagat fights go like this " Tiger shot, tiger shot, tiger shot, tiger shot, TIGER KNEE, tiger shot, tiger shot" And so on. Sagat can get way too many BP with that bullshit strategy.

Dead or Alive 4. The jelly Kasumi at the end is just stupid. That's the only word I have for it. Stupid.

Mod Edit: Ok, the jelly Kasumi is not stupid. I hate people like you always putting down the jelly Kasumi's ALL THE TIME. You think you're so special with your Neo badge and taunting me in IRC. Mod Sass! Permabanned. -Kuliani

Those two overpowered? HA! Tekkaman Blade,Zero,Karas,Kaijin no Soki are overpowered. Saki isn't overpowered but she has the best anti air defense. Golden Lightan and PTX-40A are just ARGH!

I haven't unlocked Tekkaman Blade or Zero, so I can't comment on them. As for Karas and Soki, I see what you're saying.

Come to think of it, they are a bit on the cheap side, aren't they?

Michael Jackson in MUGEN. Seriously.

That. Was. AWESOME.

 

[Sonicron]

Zangief for his powerbomb, and Kilik for the ridiculous range on his staff attack.

Online. You have no idea.

One of my friends says Wario from SSBB is a cheap POS. I disagreed...until my friends and I shot a video of this match:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCAWwT2lAEk

That should link to the video. One specific point made my jaw drop, and I never looked at Wario the same again.

Wait, why do you think Wario is cheap? All I saw was him getting his ass kicked. The only thing that might be cheap is the bike gliding to get to the platform but I'm pretty sure that there's another character (Pit) who can FLY

 

[rory12345]

The Apprentice is SC4 was pretty cheap, imo.

I agree completely. Also, Yoda seemed overpowered. Half the attacks wouldn't hit due to his height.

 

[crimson5pheonix]

Soul Caliber 4 Maxi(pad). This is the only character whom can win any fight by just randomly pressing square and/or triangle (PS3 version). No combos required, just mash.

 

[Mykonos]

Zangief.

Spin spin spin spin win.

Lol Windmills. They should put Don Quixote in the game.

V-13 and Jin from Blazblue... GG guys D:

Gotta love dat ice car.

 

[Go Fighting In The War Room]

MW2 1887's, and Commando Tact. Knife users, annoy me.

So does Demomen with Eyelander and Chargin' Targe.

"Oh, if only I saw what the steam fourms looked like after that update"...

EDIT: Oh yes... fighting games... Err... I can say Sonic was a spam fest. And Snake.... Snake from Brawl just laid bombs everywhere, then choked you and beat you to a pulp.

Paladins, in the begining of Wrath of the lich king, cheap dirty bastards out damaging the raid in tank position.
