Blatantly Overpowered characters

[Dandark]

LoL: Tryndamere. I am still new to the game but all my friends agree he is broken and from what I have seen, yes he is. There are way's to counter him but that doesn't stop him from being broken.

Not overpowered but annoying as hell is Shako also from LoL. Those players annoy the hell out of me.

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.

if vehicles count, then my vote goes to the Tunguska in Battlefield 3. that thing is ridiculously overpowered, and it annihilates not only air vehicles, but infantry as well.

Why is it that any character that you can't smack down in two hits gets labeled as "overpowered"?

i actually havent had many of the problems with these characters most people have mentioned in the thread (for the games i have played at least)

well one guy mentioned demoman and i can see where he's coming from.. i play demo as my main class now (curse you vs saxton hale!!!) and he is incredibly over powered.. and in medieval servers demo knight is even more overpowered with full heads.. he gets too fast and does too much damages when coupled with the splendid screen (charge impact damage is killer with full heads) the only thing that ever gives me trouble as demo is a heavy or a scout.. and thats only because heavy dishes out so much damage and im still learning scouts hit box and and his running speed vs my grenade speed.. once i have those down only heavy will be a problem.. and in medieval mode..forget about it... no class even other demos can properly take me on.. (again curse you vs saxton hale!)

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.

All in all FGs are quite well balanced these days, so much so that I can only think of matchups that are inconvenient to my characters of choice like being a Juri player in SSFIV against Sakura... *shudders*

Also, after reading through the entire thread I am glad the my fighting game of choice, BlazBlue: Continuum Shift, hasn't been mentioned once. Glad to get confirmation that is among those most balanced fighters on the market

As a Hazama player I feel inclined to ***** about Hakumen. I mean I get to mash buttons for 2500 damage and try to get in with Ouroboros while that slow ************ just denies my chains with those seals of his. God forbid he hit you with his ridiculous 5 hit combos for half of your health. But, as I said above, you take the cards you're dealt and either get better or go home and be a family man.

I agree, its more about specific matchups these days. In general, developers have learned how to balance their fighters. Take Bang vs Lamda in Blazblue: CS for example. Bang has so much mobility that he can easily dodge her ranged attacks, get inside with his crazy gap closing ability and combo her to high heaven. Doesn't help that she has one of the shallowest health pools in the game. XO

Dullihan from Golden Sun: The Lost Age. He is the only optional boss I have yet to beat. I can spank both the doom dragon and the fusion dragon (probably even at the same time) yet I cant stop dullihan and his djinn drains, defense breakers, ulti-summons, one hit kills, and of course the fact that he gets three moves per turn and regens 200 hp every turn.

Ward a lot. Seriously, good warding can pretty much eliminate ganks. It is honestly one of the main difference you see between good and bad players. Shaco can sometimes get around with his invisibility/teleport but usually if you ward far enough away from your lane you'll catch him before he tries to pull his trick on you.

Also, NEVER EVER follow him into a bush!

 

[Cpu46]

So long as it is my cousin at the controls, Diddy Kong from Smash Bros.

Can't barely touch him and he deals a load of damage in a short period of time. I can only stand up to him (note: still loosing but giving him a close fight) using 'cheap' characters like Ike and Pikachu or my main Lucario.

 

[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

 

[Delock]

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.

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.
