Blatantly Overpowered characters

[Kinguendo]

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.

the odd thing is, put Mitsurugi in my hands and I'll never win. I'm not sure what it is, but I just CAN NOT win with him.

SEIGFRIED, on the other hand. Cannot lose. Infinite juggle HO!

Oh thats not OP, thats cheap tactics. OP would be fast, powerful and range... Seigried and Nightmare have the range and power but not the speed. Mitsurugi has all of it.

 

[Kinguendo]

Kilik in Soul Calibur 5 is fucking bullshit.

Fuck that guy.

I thought they took Kilik out and got a new pole guy in... I thought it was mostly new guys in 5?

 

[Kinguendo]

Screw Sagat, he's a kitty compared to Zangief.

I've lost more battles to Zangief than Seth.

Think about that.

Also, I play on a keyboard, so Zangief is nigh-impossible to play as. So not only is he overpowered when I fight against him, but I can't use his overpowered-ness as a fighter!

Dont complain about something and then want to use it... poor show old boy, poor show.

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

No, thats cheap tactics... nothing to do with the character. Seigfried and Nightmare are slow but powerful with some decent range, unlike Mitsurugi who is powerful, fast and has range. People dont complain about Astaroth because he is just so fucking slow but he has probably the longest reach on the game, if you learn how to play as Astaroth you can play keep away with everyone, especially other slow characters as you have longer range. The only character who can fight Astaroth with distance was the chick with the Sword and Shield who could fire lightning... which, by the way, is annoying when you get spammed by that.

There is an edit button.
Also Kilik is unlockable, just like Edgemaster. I believe Kilik uses the new guy's skill set with a few attacks changed.

I... dont understand the "there is an edit button" comment.

Do vehicles count? Because frankly the Scorpion from Halo is a major offender when it comes to being overpowered, and the banshee is even worse.

Say hello to Mr. Rocket Launcher. Or Mrs. Fuel Rod. Or the Sniper Rifle. Or the Spartan Laser... Take your pick. Heck, even the Plasma Pistol can disable it and a grenade will take it down as well. Now I think about it, a Scoprpion is incredibly vulnerable in any kind of close range and some long range as well.

Prefix 1: Drunk
*snip*

Roger that; dually-noted.

Nope. I gotta respectfully disagree on this one. Morrigan has far too many things she's not great @ in (U)MvC3 to be even remotely "kinda great". And I'm a bonafide Darkstalkers/Vampire Savior troll myself.

Number #1: Mixup and crossover game is great, but her standing move priority ranges from slightly above average to "you've gotta be kidding"-ly low. Aerial normal move priority is absolutely shitty. (All) Her crouching normals' speed and priority is (still) boss, though. ;P

Answer to your problems: Jump back fireball.

I'm kinda an zippity-do-da, poke'n'punish kinda guy, but also noted.

Number #2: *snipped*

Answer to your problems: Jump back fireball better.

Number #3: **snipped thrice**

Answer to your problems: super, then jump back fireball well.

Prefer to juggle &/or OTG into a hyper combo, but again, noted.

ChrisG is a gigantic fucking ****** then, I guess. :V

I wouldn't go that far, but... not my style of play, all I'm sayin'.

His style is identical to the old school of SF2 Sagat-style play adapted for her moveset & (lack of) health: pressure opponents with relentless fireball spam in accompaniment of odd timing and once-in-a-while throws, punish jump-ins and whiffs, rinse & repeat.
IMHO he may be creative in the ways he goes about it, and undoubtedly smarter for doing it, but an irrevocably boring and boorish player because of it. :[

Mules and Gold mineral patches. i hate jumping on the Op bandwagon, but this is the exception. Damn mules.

>implying you wouldn't ever use an overpowered character if given the chance

 

[Riddle78]

Karthus the Deathsinger from League of Legends. Global megadamage spell? Can fling spells for free for seven seconds after death? He makes a Pyro'd Tibbers drop and Lux's LAZZOR look tame.

 

[Metal_Head]

from Tekken 5, Jinpachi Mishima. A demon whos attacks do lots of damage and shoots almost unavoidable fireballs that take off HALF of your health bar in one hit? That is bull.

also Akuma from street fighter. he is BS.

Barret 50 cal. from MW2 *maybe 3 but i havent played it*. one body shot and death? with semi auto ability?! so many noobs ran around with Steady Aim and spamming fire it wasnt funny.

Not implying, flat out saying... I dont play as any OP character or use any OP weapon. I find out what weapons/characters are what and if they are OP I never use them from then on, its not difficult to avoid doing and when I win its all skill.

best tactic is seen in dealing with one of these is ether
A) hope they don't see you
B) hope you can kill then before they do
cause if they get up close, you are fucked

Drop Master-crafted grenade, roll back, MELTA TO THE FACE *****.

6. Sebulba

Sebulba is a cheap bastard because of his weight and the fact that he has an illegal flamethrower. Sure, he can't maneuver for shit, but he's heavy enough that if you ram into him, he can shove you into rocks or set you on fire.

Now Neeva Kee is another tough bastard. Having no cables and incredible agility makes him such a pain in the ass.

Also, The Abyss. FUCK. THAT. MAP.

 

[ecoho]

Hmm, lets see, Tryndamere and Morgana. Those two should be permabanned.

Hello, my name is Trydamere. You appear to have your entire team and a turret on me. I do not give a single fuck.

Morgana's never been that bad for me, to be honest. But, then again, I do normally play Gangplank so I just eat some oranges and get out of her stupid snares, and they're not all that hard to move out of the way of once you've bought some boots.

And while I wouldn't say that Karthus is strictly "overpowered", he's fucking irritating as hell. It's like they designed a character to be expressly annoying. Keeps casting after dead and has an ult that damages every enemy currently alive.

to be fair you can hard counter karthus with a soraka.
OT: lets start with our runner ups;
LoL: Fizz- i can jump away and cant be targeted period not by or by the tower,and did i mention i can walk through minions?
rammus- i can taunt you and make you unable to do anything for 2 seconds and i can do it every 45 seconds.
FF6: one word kefka......need i say more?

now our winner! that blue ***** from dead or alive4 i think is what it was.You can not beat her unless you;
A. have super human reflexs
B. cheep shot her ass in a corner
or
C. get really lucky.
to this day thats the only game i stoped playing after i beat the final boss.

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.

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.

.........

Mother of god.... Dat gunshot

As for other glorious nuggets, here's some 3v1 Dante comeback goodness. Quite basic Dante combos really (not that I could ever pull them off online. I find Dante to be too sensitive, every move canceling into everything else by one button press makes me panic and fuck up) but the "presentation" makes up for it.

The music was worth the watch alone.

This is from the same guy where i found the Wesker video, only this time its for Doom. Its really well done, he even added his own voiceovers for (his) Doom's attacks.
