Everything Nu-13 does in Blazblue CT. And in Continuum Shift, but she's unlimited in that one.
Also, the ability to chain kill people in Assassin's Creed Brotherhood and Revelations. It looks cool, but it makes the game way too easy.

In dragon age IX you can boost a characters tension(Multiplies your damage) and use a ability called "Falcon Slash" (Which attacks twice) and there is also a sword called "Falcon blade" Now upgrade sword to "Uber falcon blade" and charge your tension up to 100.
Did i mention you get another multiplier for a combo of attacks? and there is a combo which goes "attack-falcon slash-attack-falcon slash"
That is a lot of damage.

Enrage, Bioshock 1 & 2.
you could just fling it at someone and you wouldn't need to do anything.
Handgun, Halo 1.
just ridicoulous.
Bows & Sneak combo in skyrim.
a total game breaker if you got a headshot.
Jax & Tryndamere, League of Legends.
do i need to?

Poison in Divine Divinity.
Does shit-tonnes of damage, constantly.
It does have a drawback, in that it doesn't work on undead (and their tougher variants, like steel skeletons), but on everything else, including the final boss if I remember right, it's absolutely lethal. Tougher enemies like orcs die in less than a second.
It also has a second drawback, in that its quantities in the game are limited, but once you've stumbled upon that cellar of the stuff there's little that can stand in your way.
(as a side-note, they "fixed" it in Beyond Divinity, so it worked on skeletons but was piss-weak and had to be upgraded constantly)

UMVC3. Wesker. Fuck.
Yes he's beatable but a good Wesker will fuck you up, he's always faster than you think has good health (just under the standard 1 million i think) hits like a grown ass man and has really good teleports.
Oh and Maximum Wesker. Fuck that move. Relatively safe on block, full screen level one hyper that instantly gives him level one X-Factor for the rest of the game. He can get to level 4 X-factor because for some reason the buffs stack.
Though I think most of the community has drifted away from him for some reason. He's so good and easy to pick up it must start to get boring I suppose.
Phoenix Wright's Turnabout Mode was overpowered before they took away his invincible assist (yet Hsien-Ko keeps her Hyper Armour assist.) Turnabout Mode is still ludicrously epic in every single way though. This line from a lobby I was playing in sums it up perfectly.
"Objection! I've got all I need!" Other guy: Oh FUCK *ownage commences*
Ah, it's moments like that which make playing PW worth it...
And Black Frost in Persona 4 is definitely overpowered during a certain dungeon or two because he's good against ice, fire and darkness, has Mind Charge and good magic stats.
Everyone goes to the higher level Personae later though so it's not like he's game breaking.

Y'know, I never found shotguns in any ME to be particularly OP. Even point-blank and getting every hit I could get out of it, I rarely ever got anything below a two-three hit kill.GriffinStallion said:
It could just be Insanity's bullet sponge enemies nature though.
O.T: Poison ion FFX. It tends to deal massive amounts of damage( I think around 25% of max health).
In X-Com the Psi Amp. You can win any mission by having your Skyranger full psi amps users, find one alien mind control it then use the vision of a mind controlled alien to find other aliens and mind control them. End result is a chain of aliens watching each other so you can control them every turn. Also the game didn't let aliens pick up weapons from the ground so you can make them drop there weapons and "pacify" them.
The rocket launchers in RE5 are worth mentioning, especially when you get unlimited ammo. My friend and I went through the entire game using them and we finished in less than 2 hours. Seriously, that giant boss you kill with the space laser? That sucker died after 2 hits with the rocket launcher.
That's also six minutes of your time. I never used Knights of the Round except on Sephiroth, simply because I didn't feel like wasting an entire minute watching the animation.NameIsRobertPaulson said:
Skies of Arcadia: Prophecy.
Technically, I don't think they even tell you about it in the game unless you meet the conditions in battle (and you still might not know what it is). However, if you know to save up for it, it's rather easy to get late game, owns almost everything, and acts as a free turn. The requisites of "you have to have max SP" and "No status ailments" are ridiculously easy by then, so the drawback is negligible.

I'd say the MIRV is balanced out by the fact it REALLY sucks down the rather limited and hard to stockpile ammo it uses.MiracleOfSound said:Experimental MIRV.
Why Nuke something once when you can Nuke it eight times.
No, you want overpowered? Try ANY of the RYNOs from Ratchet and Clank. Any one of those suckers makes life a breeze.
This. I noticed that Blacksmithing doesn't have diminishing returns for leveling (so that making a dagger will give the same skill-bonus-to-level at Blacksmithing 10 as on Blacksmithing 90), thus I leveled from 5 to 22 just after I left Riverwood. Only time I stopped blacksmithing was when I ran out fo money to buy supplies. One sidequest later, and I leveled another few levels by simply creating daggers. At lvl 22, I had a full set of Ebon-armor, Ebon-greatsword, and I hadn't killed my first dragon. I think I four-shotted it when I finally bothered to do the mainquest.Swyftstar said:
Then I leveld Enchanting, enchanted all my gear (now I had Deadric, self-crafted) with magic-resistance, went out, killed shit, and stopped playing. There was no challenge.
As for FFX-2, how about Catnip & Yuna's TriggerHappy ?Danial said:
I remember that being quite the gamebreaker.
FFXIII
Poison, although not many bosses were susceptible to it, if you found a boss that was, it was almost instant win.
MMX
Hadouken, although you would only be able to do this move if you had max health, it would one shot anything it hit, boss or mob.
MMX4
Black armor X's Novastrike, would deal massive damage on anything it hit, killing almost all mobs with one hit and most bosses in two or three. Also, if I remember correctly, you would be invincible during this move.
True that, wondered why I chose Infiltrator on my first run through after starting again.GriffinStallion said:
Seems like in the inFamous series the Ionic/Lightning Storm was crazy OP; in the first you just recharged and used it again and in the sequel the ionic cores were a dime a dozen so you could use it very frequently. Couple that with massive damage over a wide area and suddenly the game becomes easy.
And of course any of the grapple/throw moves from Soul Calibur IV lets you beat any story mode difficulty with insane ease.
While it's not really an attack per se, Vivian's hide ability in Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door. What's more, the game encourages its use! The final boss fight practically begs you to use it when Big Baddie uses its ridic damaging attack.
Do you ever get to use that in a game? That would pretty much end any match, in Dawn of War or on the table.oddball250 said:
I would have to say the Borderlands Hellfire smg. After my siren got her grubby hands on one she would hardly use anything else.
