SHAO KAHN (MK9 specifically)

How do I even begin? He has an unblockable hammer throw that takes away about 20% of your health, he is armoured on EVERY SINGLE ATTACK, takes only half damage, deals double damage, has a super move that does about 65% damage, and taunts you roughly every five seconds. (In one game he also heals from taunting too). I have to fight him in tag matches with nooB saiboT for fear of going insane from rage.
That's the one thing that's the worst. How they can randomly shrug off attacks and keep going with theirs. So TERRIBLE. Who thought that was a good idea? WHO?

Zangief.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

Seriously, if he uses that freaking ignore-all-defenses spinning pile driver EVER again, I will set Capcom on fire. Multiple times.
Zangief is a horrible little character all those wake up grabs and body hairs. HAVE YOU SEEN how much damage his super does?
No, I haven't. I rarely damage him enough for him to use his ultra, he never uses the super in combat (he always uses it on EX Spinning Pile Drivers), and I can't try it myself because Zangief's super/ultra combo is the only one that's physically impossible to do on a keyboard.

It's a shame, because in theory, Zangief should be my favorite character. But he's just SO EVIL.
He literally makes me feel ill when I am going against him. All the advice I can give is go for the missiles Hadouken spamming with Ryu works well, also heavy jump kicks as unless Gief grabs you he has few anti airs.


Good GIEF my sons good Gief.

Ah, I had a handy Dota list for this one. Lemme dig up and top of it is.... Morphling. Wait, Faceless Void. Urgh, PL. AH FUCK IT'S MEEPO!

As said by a Meepo player. I think that's why I fear any hard carry except for AM, funnily enough. List time!

- Drow, because FUCK her passive ulti, which allows her to murder via right clicks or orb walking. YES, THE DAMAGE WORKS ON HER ICE ARROWS.
- Viper, because FUCK his ulti and his passives, which are all poison based, which seems to be stupidly overpowered at this point.
- Faceless Void, because FUCK the ulti that can solo teams. Double fuck if Void has a Refresher and Aghanim's.
- MOTHERFUCKING EARTHSHAKER, because dude loves to fuck my day as Meepo BY TRIPLING HIS DAMAGE and having a passive which works better when up against groups.
- Alchemist, because FUCK Goblin's Greed, which allows a stream of steady gold to turn around a loss into a victory.
- Phantom Assassin because FUCK passive ulti and 6 second ranged teleport paired with Monkey King Bar. Gahhhhh!
- Lone Druid, because FUCK the bear, which will fuck you up in teamfights. Good Druids will also stockpile Agility items on the Druid, which equals 70% physical damage resistance on a fully farmed Druid. That's not even counting Radiance and the bear's other items.
- Morphling, because FUCK his ulti, which allows him to fountain rotate really easily. And you have my condolences if an enemy Morphling has an Ethereal AND a Butterfly. Dude hits for 300 base with full Agility.
- Magnus, because FUCK Reverse Polarity. 'Nuff said.
- Meepo, because FUCK 1400 AoE damage with a slow. Dude's hilariously broken with a Blink Dagger after that, but pity that everyone and their dog knows how to counter Meepo. He also makes a hilariously fast lane pusher, which can screw over PL big time.

Funny thing is, I love all of those guys when I'm playing them, but when I'm up against them, futility sets in unless I'm Meepo and have decided to rush my 3 Hearts. =P

You should try approaching him as Adon. Your main tools to get in are a fast walk speed, which is obviously risky against 'Gief, and Jaguar Kick. Which is -1 on block.

I'm going to also say M. Bison (Dictator). I just... don't get him. I have no idea how to fight him at all! Even the worst players stomp me! >.<

Edit: My grammar is terrible.
I refuse to go Adon.

He revolts me.

He looks terrible and he is stressful to play. That and if your opponent is Ryu or Ken you may as well give up due to the hideous amount of Shoryukens you are about to take.

M.Bison YES another hideous little man. The move where he jumps on your head especially stresses me out.

Nidalee. Especially in ARAM.
The PPSH spam cannon was also the bane of my existence in RO:Ostfront, while I preferred the more finessed PPD or PPS43

Generally, any character in League of Legends that "scales well" (IE becomes ridiculously powerful after a few item upgrades) or are "good in early game" (IE is ridiculously powerful until you yourself get a few item upgrades).

There's quite a long list of them, like Akali, Jax, Katarina, and Kayle in the former camp, and Xin Zhao, Nunu and Lee Sin in the latter - just to name a few.

Gotta love how teemo can do anything but tank
He's often considered one of the best tanks in the game, because EVERYONE HATES HIM and will try to kill him on sight, meaning he's great at baiting and distracting people in team fights, and combined with his Move Quick and Blinding Dart he can stay alive deceptively long.

I'll admit, i'm not a strong fighting game player, so the vast majority of my losses are deserved, but anyone picking Jin is just going to spam that one attack over and over and over again.

Oddjob from Goldeneye. I don't think I need to go into too much detail here. You can't shoot that short little fuck!
I had someone throw his hat at me from one side of the snow lodge to the other in Nightfire. Like, down an entire mountainside. FUCK.
Funny story about that, the same thing happened to me and my friend while playing that game. I was Oddjob, he, well, wasn't. We were on opposite sides of the map taking potshots at each other, and I threw the hat when I ran out of ammo right before I went to get more. Few seconds later, my friend is like 'What the hell is that black thin-*killed* WHAT THE F***!!!'

I was laughing my ass off and prostrating my sudden 1337 skills, but then I did it again...and again...we were both confused, because I know for a fact that one of those times, my cursor was considerably off from where he was, but the hat still hit him. We tried once more, with him staying still, and my cursor clearly not exactly on him, and it hit him.

Oddjob's hat homes in over long distances in Nightfire. It doesn't at short range, but over long range, it starts to have homing capabilities.

OT: I still don't like fighting Pit in SSBB. While the debate over who is broken and who isn't is something that changes over time as fans start finding different methods of dealing things, I still think Pit is a n00b character that takes no skill to use. Yeah, he can be fun to play as, but I hardly think you ever need to try with him.

Presumably the evil spawn of satan, who ever thought cassowaries should be a thing and an EA exec.



OP: yoshi from ssbb. A friend of mine used to always pick him and then and turn us into eggs then dive off a cliff so when we hatched he would escape while we fell to our deaths.

I was thinking the other day in competitive games there are always characters or sides that you hate to face more than any other either because they are your bane or you just hate them for some reason so what are yours?

My one is probably Mitsurugi in the Soul Calibur series I can beat him with my main but otherwise he gives me so much trouble the dude just seems to have it all strength speed and technique and it gives me more headaches than any other character.
The Star Wars characters in Soul Calibur IV. When playing offline (never played online). Seriously, that overpowered Apprentice literally means I never want to play the game now. You HAVE to fight him on arcade mode (the only mode I ever care about in a fighting game), and he's always waaay too hard, and he's got NOTHING to do with the series.

Whoever chose to have those characters in SCIV deserves to have a sledgehammer to their face.
Oh dear god I forgot about him and also Yoda who is frikkin unthrowable and I cant help doing throw on reaction sometimes, oh and my horizontal moves go above his head hes annoying as hell to face with Astaroth.

I hate guest characters in Soul Calibur ever since 2 onwards they havent all been awful but I wish they would get rid of them although the original created characters like they had in 4 from various artists was fun.

If they continue improving the create a soul mode then guest characters will be unneeded anyway. I just wish they would show the series some love instead of giving it all to Tekken. I think its mainly because SC is more popular overseas rather than Japan. Still the last one did pretty good despite them rushing its development and slashing its budget so hopefully SC6 will be released and get some love.

Ive been on a Moba streak for the last couple of weeks and two I can think of include Loki in smite (who can 3 shot anything even if you build high protection) and the Veteran (whos a grapple master) in Super monday night combat. Back when I played LoL it was the dark angel, Morgana I think was her name? She just seemed a bit OP to me

From fighting games, Injustice is really the only game I played recently and Deathstrokes one I often have to be cautious of. I personally play bane in that game because everyone calls him useless and I like to be an underdog

Voldo. Like...seriously, fuck him and anyone who uses him. I just can't even. He might take a slight bit of work to learn his ins and outs, but quickly becomes the most insufferable wriggling leech. He's fast as shit, has weird combos, he can block from his back, at least half of his combo attacks take place on the ground, making half of other character's combos basically ineffectual, top that all off with the oddness and disgust of a hissing, wrinkled old contortionist with a BDSM fetish, and you have Voldo.

I hate him. And anyone who is good with him. Because the majority of the time I've run into Voldo players, they never use anybody else.

haven't read the whole thread, but generally Eddie Gordo or Julia from Tekken, you know why, except in Tekken Revolution where, mercifully, he's not playable, in that it's either Lars or Kazuya

I really hate Shang tsung, from mk9, especially the guy I just fought, who just spammed fireballs and some cheap combo that full screened me.

There is also quan chi, but he gets a free ride because his one of his moves (his grab I think) makes him lean you over and explode a skull in your sensitive area, which I find funny for some reason.

Something of a strange example I have is Kirby from Melee. A decade ago me and my two brothers played that game to death and either because I wasn't that great or my brothers were actually that great, i'd mostly place second or third. However whenever my eldest brother picked Kirby I knew I would be dead much faster than usual. While Kirby is apparently a bad character in melee he still had his strengths. That mainly being sucking and opponent up, jumping off of a ledge, spitting them out and floating back up again and again.

OT, in Rome Total War people that played as Germania. For siege assaults. Then stacked up with Berserkers.


Captcha: Look before crossing - in the vid, the Romans did not!
Wow. I never played vanilla or BI long enough to see berserkers, always just skipped to EB.

Do you remember the Kensai from Shogun? Those guys were fucking ridiculous.
I once played campaign where I didn't expand at all from my initial holdings until I built a full stack of those guys. Easiest campaign I've ever played.

Also, Legendary Geisha. Fuck, those were OP. Could wipe out every single clan all on their own.

Several people in Awesomenauts make me cringe or do other various noises. Here they are in ascending order.

Froggy G - Hideous, can run away while being totally invisible, and the people playing him tend to be the usual "Cowards unless they have a gaurenteed victory and even then they can screw it up" type.

Coco - Has debilitiating thunder trails, is fast, and her massive heavy hitter Thunderball attack is way, WAY stronger than it needs to be. When I went into a cheering and laughing fit when I SUCCESSFULLY KILLED HER, after 20 hours of accumulated time, that's not a good sign.

But by far the worst is Raelynn - anyone who has played Awesomenauts will know exactly what I'm on about, but if not...Every 6-8 seconds or so she can bust out a massive Sniper shot.

Well, I say Sniper Shot theoreticly. It's closer to a goddamn Ion Cannon. It has a massive red line telegraph, but there's one significant problem - People can press the fire button again to fire it early. So, unpredictable, horrificly powerful, usable very often, and can blast you into peices before you even see her.

I know she's basically meant to be a cryo-frozen, female Sniper from TF2, but dear god, why.
