Gaming Most overpowered video game characters

[horsechoker]

Who do you remember being overpowered? (items can be included)

If anyone played The Simpsons Wrestling, Flanders was a beast in that game.

Pro Evo 2006 Adriano was incredible

Similarly Brazil were far too strong around that time that people I played with banned them from being used.

Mewtwo and a lot of psychic types were too powerful before generation II of pokemon. (shoutout to Miltank with rollout)

In GT5 you could get a bugatti veyron quite early in the game which made races ridiculously easy for a while. (yes I've stretched the definition of character here)

 

[LawCharltonBest]

Surely Mike Tyson

 

[Bebestation]

The Galil from Black Ops 1.

I was the 2nd highest on the COD leaderboards for nearly 2 months of that game. My favourite COD ever.

 

[Tiber]

Tommy Vercetti. He singlehandedly took down the police, FBI and US army. Legend.

 

[luke511]

Eddy from Tekken, one swoop to the legs and you're breakdancing your way to the KO.

 

[Bebestation]

I cant remember but wasnt Oddjob super hard to beat on Goldeneye?

 

[horsechoker]

Tommy Vercetti. He singlehandedly took down the police, FBI and US army. Legend.

Nah, those vatos on top of the train. They could survive rocket blasts and tank fire.

The GTA tank in Vice City and San Andreas too. That thing was unstoppable unless you used fire, it could even go ridiculously fast if you turned the cannon backwards and fired.

 

[Shane88]

Mercy in Overwatch for a good while after release. Killed the entire enemy team? HEROES NEVER DIE! No, you didn't.

Back then she could resurrect the team from spawn so on some maps you were fecked.

Haven't played Overwatch in about 2 years so I have no idea what she is like these days.

 

[fergosaurus]

Dhalsim from Street Fighter 2. Those stretchy arms and legs were a nightmare to overcome.

 

[Bojan11]

Gnasher in Gears. Plasma Sword in Halo.

Soldier class in Mass Effect 1.

Ronaldo in various Fifa games since 09 and for those that could afford him which is like a few people, Gullit in recent Fifa games.

 

[Zarlak]

 

[RedTiger]

Off the top of my head, Tekkens Martial Law with the 1 inch punch and Yoshimitsu's sword impale. Both moves are instant kills.

 

[Redlambs]

Correct.

When you beat him though!

 

[Organic Potatoes]

Turian Ghost in ME3MP. At least the Geth Infiltrator was a glass cannon.

Eddy from Tekken, one swoop to the legs and you're breakdancing your way to the KO.

That son of a...

 

[VeevaVee]

Me on cod

 

[Man of Leisure]

Bo Jackson in Tecmo Bowl

Spoiler

 

[el3mel]

Doom Slayer. He's basically a one man army.

 

[Cloud7]

Penance from Final Fantasy X Goddammit

 

[sullydnl]

Raiden in whichever Mortal Kombat game my brother used to beat me on. Teleporting cnut.

 

[evil_geko]

Alex Mercer from Prototype.

[Irwin99]

Squall from FF8. A good junction combined with an automatic 100% hit chance and an early Lionhart and it's goodbye to every enemy.

 

[Cloud7]

Eddy from Tekken, one swoop to the legs and you're breakdancing your way to the KO.

Also in Tekken 3 Paul had that one move where he charged up a punch and if it connected it was basically a one hit ko

Paul’s leg sweep-fist combo was a bigger problem for me, if I recall correctly.

 

[mariachi-19]

Jin in Ghosts of Tsushima becomes ridiculously overpowered at the end. Even more so if you know how to use all the tools at his disposal.

Pretty much any protaganist in GTA is way over powering. I guess the game isn't about being a challenge but there's very little difficulty in the game.

 

[Snow]

Kratos. Or this guy

 

[Olly Gunnar Solskjær]

Mario can break thousands of bricks using his head in mere minutes.

 

[Cheimoon]

The Chmmr in Star Control 2 - although you get them so late in the game that it matters more for the separate melee game.

Also, iddqd in Doom 1 and 2.

 

[SiRed]

Janco Tianno, FIFA 94

 

[Volumiza]

Steve Fox on Tekken. My mates actually banned me from using him. That dodge he does instead of kicks was a killer.

 

[Raees]

Algol on Soul Calibur.. couldn’t get near the cnut.

 

[kouroux]

That fecking Valkyrie queen in God of War

 

[dumbo]

Tanooki Mario, Hammer Bros.

 

[Ibi Dreams]

Paul’s leg sweep-fist combo was a bigger problem for me, if I recall correctly.

It's that annoying combination of high-low, you're always likely not to block one of them.

Jin has an even worse one, his jumping spinning kick hits high-low-low-high and will destroy anyone who doesn't really know how to play the game that well

 

[Withnail]

The GTA tank in Vice City and San Andreas too. That thing was unstoppable unless you used fire, it could even go ridiculously fast if you turned the cannon backwards and fired.

Ah the Tank was the business.

Wayne Rooney in one of the older PES games, 2009 I think it was. If you had him in Master League after 3 or 4 seasons he was ridiculously good.

 

[Mr Anderson]

Oddjob in Goldeneye. Not overpowered, but just way harder to aim at - was a distinct advantage to use him.

 

[elmo]

The Pistons in NBA Jam if you're using the Bulls

 

[Sky1981]

Escudo pike peak version.

 

[Lyricist]

Adriano in at least one of the early PES games.

The Cobra Car in Age of Empires.

 

[P-Nut]

Escudo pike peak version.

Wow that brought back somme memories
