  • If you pick any of these video game characters, you're just being unfair. For this list, we’ll be looking at playable video game characters whose overpowered mechanics, feats, and stats make them broken powerhouses. If a character in an online game was nerfed, they were still considered as long as they were unfairly strong at some point. Our countdown of unfair playable characters in video games includes Sentinel from “Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes” (2000), Yoda from “Soulcalibur IV” (2008), Anakin Skywalker from “Star Wars Battlefront II” (2017), Bastion from “Overwatch” (2016), and more! Which of these characters did you hate going up against? And which ones did you always choose? Let us know in the comments!

    for those of you who don't play competitive pokemon I need to give you a perspective of how broken he was:
    -in competitive pokemon the pokemon that are too powerfull or just unhealthy for the meta game are banned to an unoficial format named "ubers".
    -raikuaza was in ubers in every generation.
    -when they gave him a mega-form he was so broken he became the first pokemon to ever be banned from ubers, they ended up creating a brand new format named anything goes because of him.

    Another character who was unfair was Emperor Palpatine in Star Wars Battlefront 2 EA. Though I don't know if he would count because his abilities were glitched, I'm still mentioning him here. When the game was first released, Palpatine's lightning ability was so powerful that it would even go through walls and ceilings, killing anyone who stepped in its path. His abilities were so overpowered that EA made him unplayable for a while 'cause he had to be dramatically nerfed. Fortunately, he's not as overpowered as he used to be, but much like Anakin; he was a nightmare to go against

    Drahmin, from Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance. If you can time the juggle right, you can drain almost half their energy off of one hit, because you can't block when you're in the air or on the ground. So you essentially only have to hit them 3 times to knock them out.

    I would have had noob saibot from UMK3 or MK trilogy in there. His special moves were so broken that basically one touch and you can finish them. His ghost ball makes it so that you cant hurt him or block, and his combos juggled with a super fast clone attack that grabs you from any range and re launches you. COMPLETELY BUSTED. He was the first mortal kombat character to be banned in tournaments

    What about Darth Sidious from Battlefront 2? Haven't played it in years to the point where I didn't see a lot of the Clone Wars updates, but when I did play the game, there was a time where Sidious was taken down because the devs had to rework him since his lightning could literally go through walls and hit everyone on the map! (I recently started playing again, but I have it on a different system now then I did originally)

    I already knew my good friend and enemy from back when, Oddjob, was number uno.
    Most of my buddies from back then respected us enough as a group to not pick him. Ironically enough, those who used him on a regular basis, were also the types of friends to laugh at a guy getting hit in the family jewels, or those going through general misfortune. Luckily, only two "friends" ever kept on using oddy. After we all used him for the laughs and, pun intended, odd humor, we stopped and moved on.
    And I called a few of the others on the list as well. I myself am a dirty Meta Knight user from '08. Only against the computer though, as I was never that good enough to enter any tournaments, and never wanted to. But Akuma, well, a ancient demon who simply wants to die by the hands of someone strong enough to give him a fitting death?
    Sign me up indeed. I used the raging demon so much, and had Akuma to a science, I banned myself from using him against human opponents, as any friendship opportunity would be soured the moment I picked him.
    There for sure needs to be a few parts to this one, you missed out on quite a few more...

    We didn't have that rule about Oddjob in our house. I pretty much only played Oddjob and my brother only played Bond. The trade off was fair to me because he knew the trick to move faster and I didn't, so I picked a smaller character and often hid in the holes as a defense. It was always a game of attrition where the only times he could get me was when I had to crawl out of my hiding places to get more ammo. It's also the same reason I played as the Alien w/ a smaller head attached in Perfect Dark. Small body, long range guns. Best combo.

    Regarding number 15, the reason why the Zerg are overpowered in multiplayer games is more complicated than you think. If you are familiar with the StarCraft pro/competitive scene, back in 2010, the year SC2 WoL was released, Brood Lords and Infestors are a nightmare to face. Their ability to spawn free units (Broodlings and Infested Terrans respectively) combined with the latter's ability to cast Fungal Growth (at that time, was instant cast and can immobilize units) makes them extremely dangerous. Then came Heart of the Swarm in the form of Swarm Hosts and Vipers, the former being able to spawn free units at no cost, leading to hour-long slogfests, and the latter being a powerful support unit thanks to Abduct, rendering even the Protoss Mothership obsolete, and Consume being able to regenerate energy by sapping structures to use broken abilities again. Don't forget the Queens and the new creep mechanic, which completely shuts down early game harassment and uncontested map control.
    You may argue that the Protoss were OP because of their huge cheese potential, but at the hands of a skilled player, the Zerg are a force to be reckoned with.

    • @henie4
      @henie4 Před 10 měsíci +2

      The list on the video is referring to the first Starcraft, not SC2.

      @razorback9999able Před 10 měsíci

      @@henie4 I understand, but Watchmojo is overlooking how OP the Zerg were in SC2, the sequel to SC1.
      Speaking of SC1 Zerg, in pro games they can be a pain to fight against, especially in the early game where the threat of Zergling rushes would spell the end for you if you make one small mistake, and in the late game where Defilers dominate with Dark Swarm and Plague.
