Blatantly Overpowered characters

[ScreamingNinja]

OP weapons in recent games are any AK and the FAMAS, and thanks to quickscoping noobs a lot of sniper rifles have become game breaking too.

Mitsurugi in Soul Calibur... such a noob character.

Mitsurugi I disagree with. He takes skill to pull off his moves have decently. You want OP'd, pick someone like Seigfried. I remember in Soul Blade he had a combo that was Triangle triangle Triangle. Once he got you once with it you could keep spamming it and you couldn't do anything. O_O

Golden Sun's Dullahan.

After beating him the final boss (who is by no means an easy fight) feels like fighting a just post-tutorial boss.

Also fuck that black phantom at the beginning of world 4 in Demon's Souls. I'm sorry for anyone who was basically killed at spawn that one day when I accidentally underestimated him and caused him to appear.

Unfortunately PW is garbage although can be played well if you want a good power up character Frank floors PW in every possible way

No i don't want a good power up character. I want Phoenix Wright. It should be obvious that the majority of PW players play him because of their love of the character, not because he's fucking God Tier. I played him at launch and am still playing him today. Not planning to drop him anytime soon either.

Just as a side note, with the right evidence a Trial Mode PW can be a beast of a keepaway character. Super Jumps? EAT PHONE BITCHES!

Extra side note, I find Dante more fucking difficult to use than PW, all his moves cancel into different moves really easily. Fuck it i'm going back to X-23. At least I know how to get in with her.

I'm gonna bring in League of Legends and mention Tryndamere.
Now, before anyone gets their tighty whities bunched up lemme explain my reasoning.
*snipped*

/rant I suppose.

Needs more ignite. Reduces healing done by 50% and also a true damage dot. A well timed ignite almost always guarantees a Tryndamere kill.

Wesker in UMVC3. Not sure if that last patch a few days ago did jack to him but he has:

High health, high speed with a load of teleports just for extra lols, high bloody damage, an piss easy downward gunshot that hits OTG to extend combos (can be used multiple times and as an assist.)

Oh and who could forget Maximum Wesker? It's a full screen hyper that randomly crosses up (you blocked it? Tough shit) and can be near impossible to punish if he knows what he's doing. Oh yeah if his glasses get broken (or taken off as part of Maximum Wesker's introduction) he has permanent Lvl 1 X Factor, so he gets even MORE damage and speed.

It also stacks with regular X Factor so he's the only character in the game who can reach Lvl 4 X Factor.

It's a proven fact that any team, no matter how difficult WILL work if you add Wesker to it.

Did i forget anything?

Wesker isn't all that bad. You have Zero who can get a kill off of a single hit confirm, and Spencer whose combos are not exclusive to Combofiend. Wesker is good, yes, but not brokentier. If anything he's piss-easy to use and thus quite boring, but nothing truly sets him apart from the rest of the top tier members of the cast.

Most claims of "OP" and "brokentier" (hell even claims of "nerfed to death") in this day and age are kneejerk reactions by stream monsters who'd rather cry for nerfs and patches on week one than learn to play the game.

Oh yeah, Zero... The only character i'll ever tag PW out for before he's got all his evidence. A good Zero will be on you before you get your shield up or even get your first piece of evidence.

I immediately tag Ammy in, much more balanced than Zero vs Phoenix Wright.

Watching Trynd run out of a team fight after Ulting only to die from ignite dot a few seconds later is always such a great troll moment.

Typhon (the big guy on Olympus) from Titan Quest. When I saw how his life bar I didn't even bother and stopped the game.

Many people have already said it but goddamn does it bear repeating. Wesker from UMvC3. He just needs his damage taken down a notch.

I'm more annoyed that Spider-Man got nerfed (specifically his web ball and certain combos) when he was already kind of weak.

Yep. Petey was gradually taken down several pegs after the original MvC due to his, & Wolverine's, spammerrific OTGs & juggles. Seriously... even if their health has always been on the frustrating side of low, their ability to combo from practically anywhere up close more than made up for it.

Difference is... Spiderman's normals and supers have always had pathetic lag/recover time when compared to Wolvie's. It's just gradually reached ridiculous levels by the time UMvC3 has come 'round. A blocked MP can be melee-punished by even "continental drift"-speed characters like Hulk and Sentinel in MvC2 for chrissakes! Couple that with the fact that he's almost incapable of air comboing/multi-OTGing into multiple hyper combos (with him starting the chain, mind you ), and Wolverine (still) can, unfortunately means that his uses are pretty much limited to PvP players who specialize in "Mullighan"-esque surprise/troll teams. ;>

All of these posts are worthy of being called over powered

but there is two words that you all must hear

Lu Bu(dynasty warriors 4)

that is all.

 

[dancinginfernal]

Kilik in Soul Calibur 5 is fucking bullshit.

Fuck that guy.

 

[Popeman]

Garrus Vakarian has laser vision. I shit you not he insta-kills things even on hard mode for some reason.

The fuck? He just stands up and dies whenever I use him. I would say Grunt he never seams to die.

You win.

OT: Krauser from RE4 mercenaries was pretty op... the arm... THE AAAAARRMMMM

Wasn't Wesker the over-powered one in that? With Krauser you very easily got through the bosses, but I never managed to get the highest scores with him. If I recall correctly, it was because his bowgun wasn't good for keeping up combos.

I think Midnight Wesker is again overpowered in Re5 mercenaries, if you know how to use him.

But then again, it's Albert Wesker.

You missed the joke there. Garrus Vakarian has become subject to the same memetic mutations as Chuck Norris, only within the Mass Effect community.

Captain Falcon in SBBrawl, but I mainly play for him so it's fine for me.

Same goes for his ginger twin Ganondorf.

What i do for Zero players is advance guard them then use either a special counter or projectile if it travels low enough, no Zero player ive ever met uses guard.

Also if you remember our earlier discussion on Wesker, i found this glorious nugget.

All Final Smashes are over powered. They're supposed to be. Everyone has one. using it is a reward for getting the smash ball.

On topic: Batman. I never died once in Arkham asylum on normal mode, and every death on hard mode was just me messing around.

Boone is the real hero of New Vegas. I'm just that dizzy, blonde tart who talks to people for him.

And that's why I killed him.

I couldn't handle Boone being so much more super awesome than me all the time. And I could swear ED-E was cheating on me with him...
