Overpowered gaming characters

[zaseo]

In many games some characters are just too powerful. List your favorites. I shall start off with these.

FFT: Orlandu his attacks are devastating, and made the last chapter of the game easy.
.hack Gu vol 3: Haseo Xth form his dual guns allow him to attack from a distance, and juggles enemies to death.
SSBB: Metaknight no lag between attacks, hard to kill, and amazing priority

[Smitts]

SSBM- Sheik has got an advantage at just about everything.

[Erranty]

SSBM: Marth, I dominate everyone with him.
Soul Calibur 3: Seigfried, he just plain wins.
Soul Calibur 2: Talim... Literally unstoppable, even Seigfried is no match for her.
Megaman X: Zero, In X5 he goes Super Saiyan, what more proof do I need?
FF7: Cloud, Just because he was essentially a noob who took down Sephiroth, who most considered unbeatable.
Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition: Virgil, god mode's practically built in once you have Beowulf.

Z.O.E. - The 2nd Runner: Naked Jehuty > All those who've played the game knows that this one practically speaks for itself.
Dynasty Warriors (All): Lu Bu > There's a reason why you have to be lv. Max + 1 in order to defeat him on pretty much ANY level that you fight him on.
M.U.G.E.N.: Half the characters on the roster > This was inevitable considering that it's a 'build your own character' sort of game.
Blazblue: Calamity Trigger: Arakune + Jin Kisaragi > BEEEEEEEES and TEH IES CAR. 'Nuff said.

Megaman X8: X's Ultimate armor. It can bring any bosses hp to 1.
Marvel VS Capcom 2: Sentinel attacks always does chip damage. Magneto combos.
Dissidia: Exdeath His blocks are awesome if used in the correct way.

Dissidia: Exdeath His blocks are awesome if used in the correct way.

Half of Squall's attacks get through Exdeath's blocks, a REAL overpowered character has to be Golbez, I can't take level 150s with any other character.

[TheSorrow]

Dragon Ball Raging Blast: Super Vegito. Darn fast, his attacks are chained right away (hit -> hit -> hit/blow-thing -> Sword Beam Flash spam FTW), and has the truly annoying Afterimage Strike, which makes him avoid attacks instantly no matter what. Even though Kid Buu is faster and Goku and Gogeta actually chain attacks more deadly, the Afterimage Strike is what makes Super Vegito superior. You just won't touch him.

Tekken 6: Steve Fox. Fastest character in the game, can interrupt his own attacks easily for pretty much infinite combos, and if he knocks you down he can easily lift you up or simply not let you stand up as he has a few certain attack which is alot faster than any rising movement and will knock you down again.
I also wanted to mention Alisa Bosconovitch and Lili...but actually, they aren't that much overpowered. Just too fast, annoying, and easy to use...but are way slower than Steve in comparison, and won't literally kill you the moment they jab you up :/

Dissidia Final Fantasy: Between Onion Knight and Exdeath. All the characters in the game are pretty balanced so it's hard to say...but, Onion Knight is the fastest of all the characters, with hard-to-predict attacks...and though his weakness is that he's, well, weak, a Iai Strike build makes him essentially the cheapest character in the game. Even just waiting and blocking doesn't work against him for he's fast enough to attack before the blocking animation, or go behind the enemy as it blocks...that, and Thunder bypasses the block.
However, now that i'm learning to use him more, Exdeath can actually be the most overpowered of them all, simply because his counters can really stop EVERY OTHER ATTACK, and all you need to do is know when to use them to instantly pwn the opponent in a chain of instant attacks of which he can't do nothing about it. In fact, he's probably the only character that can stop a truly cheap Onion Knight, assuming High/Omni Block is fast enough and the Exdeath player isn't dozing off.

Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix+: Sora Limit Form. While Final Form gives a great attack boost and makes all magics into the KH version of Ultima, not to mention it makes you fly all pretty, Limit Form gives an INSANE attack boost during combos, which are so fast and wide-ranged and can easily take 3 lifebars out of the Org. XIII Data bosses. He can also block and dodge attacks way more effectively, the "limit attacks" it has also have a great power and all grant invinciblity (and you can do up to 4 of them in a row), and you can use Limit Form with Sora alone, and only Sora being the one to change, while in Final Form you forcefully needed Donald and Goofy with you. It was this very form that allowed me and made it easier to me to complete a Critical Mode and lv1 Critical Mode run XD

Dissidia: Exdeath His blocks are awesome if used in the correct way.

Half of Squall's attacks get through Exdeath's blocks, a REAL overpowered character has to be Golbez, I can't take level 150s with any other character.

Everyone says so much about Golbez (or "Ninja Golbez" as they call it) being so powerful and broken...but why is that exactly? Sure, i've used him and he's all great and all, but most of his attacks are easy to block and he isn't really any fast...yes, most of his attacks are great and can be chained greatly and Genesis Rock is freaking strong, but i can't really see anything that would make him go from "great and fun to use" to "truly overpowered and broken". He's just as great as Cecil in my eyes right now, who also has some great HP attacks and his attacks can make for a whole set of epic combos.
And i can easily take down lv150's with Onion Knight...nothing stops that little runt :/ Not even Firion, and Firion is also so freaking powerful and can easily take down a Golbez regardlessly of the attacks he uses.

SSBM- Sheik has got an advantage at just about everything.

shiek never really seemed that over powered.. the only character i see being too powerful was marth.

[_Tri-edge_]

Kratos.....need I say more?

[marthwmaster]

Kratos.....need I say more?

Actually, yes you do. Are you talking about Kratos from Tales of Symphonia, Kratos from God of War, or the latter when he appears as a guest character in Soul Calibur: Broken Destiny.

Because I can think of cases for any of these three being overpowered.

[_Tri-edge_]

Well, I meant the spartan, but yes.

[zaseo]

Naruto Accel 2: Hiruko Sasori have octo needle wave. It can't be knj, and can be a infinite combo. He can charge chakra without any fear from most projectile by turning his back on his opponents because his tail deflects them. He isn't effected by negative stat, and positive stats last longer on him.

[hidora]

These are the ones I remember right now:

SMT:Nocturne: Dante - He has immunity to Expel/Death/Ailment attacks and is resistant to Physical and Magic Attacks. Also, he has some awesome skills:

• Stinger - Causes high Almighty damage and can insta-kill most enemies with a high chance (which increases as he gains levels).
• Rebellion - Physical skill that has extremely high chance of critical.
• Son's Oath - Passive skill that increases ALL of his attacks damage by 50%.
• Provoke - No MP cost, casts double Tarukaja and Rakunda at enemies and recovers a lot of Dante's MP. Basically, it's a godly version of Taunt.
• Showtime - Causes high Almighty damage on all enemies and has a high chance of causing Panic at a low cost of 40 MP.

Persona 3 (not FES): Lucifer - When combined with Satan, you can use Armageddon (causes 9999 damage, but costs all your SP). At Lv94, it learns Victory Cry (fully restores your HP/SP at end of battle), which let you use Armageddon at EVERY battle.

Devil Summoner: Belial - If you know how to play along with this guy, you can spam his combination art and kill even Beelzebub in less than 5 minutes.

Wild ARMs 4: Jude - His best skill, Assault Buster, can kill the last boss in one shot. There was a time I caused 700000+ damage on a monster with Jude at Lv100 @_@
Also, if you use it against some special monsters called Grow Apple and Melchom, you can literally get millions of Experience or money in one fight if you use it correctly.

Wild ARMs 5: Rebecca - Combine her Continuous Shot personal skill with the Violator and a Cat's Paw badges and you'll shoot to no tomorrow. Add that to the fact that she has a lot of RFX, and she can make even the fight against Ragu O Ragla a piece of cake (if you know what you're doing, of course).

Z.O.E. - The 2nd Runner: Naked Jehuty > All those who've played the game knows that this one practically speaks for itself.

That one makes me take pity on the enemies... Zero Shift + Burst charge and they're gone...

As for overpowered characters:

Cole MacGrath (inFamous) - The guy can summon a friggin' thunderbolt from the sky which lasts as long as you have electricity in you. Those who played it know what I'm talking about.

Megaman Ultimate Armor (Megaman X5) - You can basically go through the game pressing the Special Attack button and you'll kill everything in your path.

[Erranty]

Jehuty is just overpowered in general. Map the boost button to R2 and you've already won. You can literally just continuously tap it and attack, never get hit once, and finish the game feeling like it was a joke, even on hard. And this is coming from a guy who LOVES that game!

[Red Frost]

Cirno.

That is all.

[zaseo]

In Digimon World 3 the final boss can be overpowered if your Digimons lvls are in the 40s.
In Pokemon Wobbuffet can be broken if you guess what your foe is planning to do. If you're fighting a Pokemon that has all Physical, or Special moves then Wobbuffet petty much already won.

[Saizou]

Jinpachi, Jinpachi, Jinpachi.

1 Fireball (which he uses to death) will take a character's HP from full to below half.

on top of that, he has a stomp attack that stops anything you planned on doing to him.

1 beaten Jinpachi = 1 broken controller in my book.

[Erranty]

I can't believe I've forgotten about this! Ruby Weapon. It 1hko's the characters without killing them, so you HAVE TO kill it within 3 turns or you've lost. I don't know of anything more overpowered than that.

I was going to say "Azazel" from Tekken 6 in reply to that...but, i'm honestly not sure which is most overpowered between them both o-o;
Jinpachi is like an overpowered Heihachi with some nasty moves, and is very agile and can even do some sort of sidestep-teleport to lure you out and then OWN you with the fireball. And meanwhile Azazel's only projectile attacks are a laser-thing and summoning spikes towards you, which are very slow and predictable...but Azazel is in "auto-guard" all the time and the only way to inflict damage to him is by counter attacks, while you can hurt Jinpachi at any time. And they both have the "OBJECTION" attack that will stop every attack and "flinch" you, and they both can follow it with their most deadly attack.
...
Actually, Nancy is far more overpowered than them both. Half of its attacks are unblockable, 2 instant death attacks that MUST be avoided by sidestepping, impossible to juggle and only flinches after 25% damage dealt or so...you need C4's to destroy that thing, not punches and kicks >_>

But if we're talking about overpowered boss characters in fighting games... Igniz wins. And most SNK bosses in general.

I can't believe I've forgotten about this! Ruby Weapon. It 1hko's the characters without killing them, so you HAVE TO kill it within 3 turns or you've lost. I don't know of anything more overpowered than that.

...Can't say if you were sarcastic or not, but Ruby, while overpowered indeed due to his Super-Boss status, can ONLY use Whirlsand when you have more than 1 character alive and he doesn't have the claws attached to the ground, and though the rest of his attacks are very strong, none of them can OHKO you and it's very possible to survive them all and defeat him with only 1 character. Emerald Weapon is just as cheap, with an attack that will automaticly kill every party member with at least 9 materias equipped. Sure, you can get through that if you know how...just like how you can get through Ruby's Whirlsand and pwn him with all 3 characters without any of them dying in 3 turns.

In any case, Omega from FF5 is FAR more overpowered than all the Weapons. He counters every other attack with his attacks which include decreasing all the party's HP in half, massive damage to any number of members, or simply "Encircle" that removes a party member from existence...and yeah that means something very bad, plus he can use it even with your last little surviving member without any mercy. So don't even think about using Rapid Fire against him unless you want to learn what it's like to die in less than a turn.
