10 Overpowered Characters That DESTROYED Players Online

[@SpanishFly120]

"We're long past 3rd Strike being at E-Sports events" Well...I mean, 3rd Strike IS a main roster game at EVO this year (and was in EVO Japan too), and is actually quite common at a bunch of bigger tournaments like CEO, Combo Breaker, Frosty Faustings, East Coast Throwdown, and more.

[@JabroniEX]

Amen.

[@Oroku_Sensei]

It's good to see the FGC represent.

[@THENAMEISQUICKMAN]

3rd Strike at Combo Breaker this year has similar entrants to Mortal Kombat 1 and more than games like Melee and Dragon Ball. That's just proof that there's life in the old horse yet. (Also shoutouts to KOF and Skullgirls getting a pretty decent turnout, and fucking DARKSTALKERS getting over a hundred entrants. This is why Combo Breaker is peak FGC to me)

[@Jon_the_Wizard]

When she was first released, Brigitte from Overwatch was ridiculously overpowered. If she got in close, her healing and damage was enough for her to take out characters who had double or more of her base health, and she had access to armor which was a base amount of damage off the table. Effectively, she was a healer with about a 500 health pool that was constantly regenerating, forcing other players to relentlessly focus-fire her down or die.

[@kizaruthegreat]

oh yeah she was, remembered when i was soloing an entire team with her at the start XD

[@Tristanisthebest]

Brig was so fun 😂. I was mediocre at best at the game until I played first release brig then I turned into a nightmare.

[@Len_Sebastian]

Reina is a big strech here. She has more commands in movelist than almost any other character, yes. But as a Mishima she has some serious mechanics behind that. Wave dash, korean back dash, knowing how and when to react on fly. She's arguably one of the hardest characters in T8, and as such (even with absurdly high pick rate) average win rate for her is one of the lowest in roster. She's more often than not being the one destroyed (unless a very good player with deep understanding of her mechanics is playing).

[@THENAMEISQUICKMAN]

I think a decent reason for the winrate for her being low is that she's super cool lol. That means a lot of totally new players will pick her and naturally be playing her in the inevitable "get your ass beat" phase. Same reason King's winrate has often been low.

[@rocktimusprime99_]

Seer sounds intensify. His main problem wasn’t even the “wallhacks”. It was the ability to cancel your heal while also stunning you if I remember correctly.

[@THENAMEISQUICKMAN]

Reina isn't even top 5 in Tekken 8 lol. If you want one Tekken character, launch Leroy or Fahk from Tekken 7 are good shouts. They utterly dominated ranked.

[@ReaayZ]

Feng, Dragunov, Azucena , King easily clear Reina, who made this list lol

[@Stormer7000]

Yeah, I saw reina and i taught, why her and not Victor

[@THENAMEISQUICKMAN]

Lmao Reina isn't top 5 but why are you putting perpetual mid-tier King in the same conversation as high-to-top tiers? King has never been a busted character outside of literally Tekken 1.

[@taylorgiesige857]

@@THENAMEISQUICKMAN tell me you’ve never played Tekken 8 without telling me you’ve never played Tekken 8 lol

[@silverknight006]

@@taylorgiesige857King is a scrub killer character. If you’ve got King in top tier, you’ve got a skill issue.

[@Roy-rk3qz]

These noobs legit put Reina in here instead 😂

[@Iramek]

Odd Job... The blood shed to get him. The blood shed each match.

[@Tristanisthebest]

Vanilla Mvc3 sentinel also deserves some recognition. Crouching heavy to launch to anything almost deletes a character. Only reason it isn't remembered more is that one faced so many online it became routine to counter it.

[@JabroniEX]

In Tekken, it should be Azucena or Eddy while DBFZ is Android 21.

[@eddmario]

I'm suprised Inferno in Soul Calibur 6 isn't on this list. Not only was the character completely unchanged from the boss version, but the developers knew how broken he was in multiplayer so they made it so he couldn't be used in ranked matches.

[@Aeturnalis]

I don't know if coop would count, but Zeratul in StarCraft 2 coop was massively overpowered when they first released him as a coop commander. He started with maximum supply, his units had powerful attacks, and his level upgrades were free, you just had to find the 3 fragments on the map, and Zeratul had a teleport option to pick them up. Zeratul with Stalker / Enforcer / Shieldguard ball and a Zoraya legion call down could easily clear the map by mid game, even without the other player's help.

[@dorito29]

8:47 "Ice is a rarely used offensive type" my ass its the most common coverage move on literally almost every offensive water (especially when hidden power was still in the game) and calyrex ice is literally one of the best vgc restricted out right now (there's also chien pao as a non restricted)

[@krvgames9258]

I think Jules should be saying that Ice is a rarely used DEFENSIVE type, because Ice is one of the WORST types defensively. Sure, it doesn’t have as many weaknesses as Grass and Rock, but it is still terrible defensively. But then you have Bergmite and Avalugg, who have sky high Physical Defense.

[@jaylee9552]

I countered a kass in LoL in mis lane with Morgana once and the guy full out said I must of been hacking 😂

[@justarandompurplefox3243]

Landorus is far more terrifying in singles when using Incarnate form. Lando-I is so intensely strong, it’s in Smogon’s Uber tier, and it’s currently terrorizing doubles

[@maximevacher5047]

I remember when Vivian was first introduced in Paladins. She could melt an entire team alone, we, high elo players, all quit playing for 1 or 2 weeks for the nerf.

[@felman87]

Oddjob. I hated that guy. Such a pain to deal with that he was banned from being chosen on most matches. The weirdest part is, imaging that being your introduction to the character. Then you go back and watch Goldfinger. Dude wasn't short in the movie or in real life (the actor was 5'10"). So what happened here?

[@jaeusa160]

@1:30 That's ultimately the thing. One can make stupid excuses like "durrr just counter bastion" in a vacuum, but this is a team game, with timed objectives. You cannot assume the other 4 enemies are irrelevant, you cannot assume flawless play from your allies or even yourself, you cannot assume a map or objective layout makes "countering" someone even feasible in a timed sense either. Meanwhile all the keyboard drooler on the high skill character needs to do is hold down left click in the general vicinity of an enemy. And thus did I largely main Junkrat, because ricocheting grenades is a good way to bypass a lot of "highly skilled" characters and it happened to be my own only actual fps talent of note.

[@crod79]

You should do a video of perfectly balanced characters in multiplayer games!!

[@NobleChevalier]

Butcher in Heroes of the Storm was absolutely TERRIFYING back in the day, almost no melee hero could stand up to him

[@supersnakemario-kfplongchi3112]

I'm kinda surprised Meta Knight from Brawl wasn't on here. He's notoriously broken in that game to the point that he was the only character to be banned in tournaments if I'm not mistaken. Correct me if I'm wrong.

[@shunakiyama6421]

He was banned in majority of 1v1 tournaments but duo meta knights were banned in EVERY 2v2 tournament.

[@exiledpain6]

I'd argue Bayonetta in wiiu was worse but both were broken for sure

[@supersnakemario-kfplongchi3112]

@@exiledpain6 Yah true. Bayonetta was pretty broken too I heard.

[@THENAMEISQUICKMAN]

If I recall correctly he was banned too late and the long time it took to ban him kinda killed Brawl (among other reasons)

[@nerobiblios4086]

Another good example of these types of characters is Meta Knight in SSB Brawl, Bayonetta in Smash 4 and Brigitte from OW1.

[@ItsBofu]

Oddjob really wasn't so bad once you discovered that you could crouch in Goldeneye and that it had no impact on movement speed.

[@BlueInkAlchemy]

Android 16's dunks will never not be satisfying.

[@EyesOfByes]

Born in 84. Oddjob is that broken

[@HolyHadou]

Reina probably is a monster but I've heard quite a few nightmare stories about Azucena, Victor, King, Feng, Jun & the recently deployed Eddy. In Fighter Z I think Gohan, Cell, & possibly Bardock during season 1 caused a lot of issues. Bardock might've been DLC though.

[@exiledpain6]

Bardock was broken as all hell every team had to have him right after he was released

[@MrCjosue24]

Reina in the thumbnail 🤣

[@Clouds_RUs]

Bastion had a personal shield in the beta during turrent form. 6 years later as of this week he has been nerfed due to armor.

[@ryancraig110]

Really dark Phoenix a character considered very situational and hard to get out and by the time you get it and by the time you get and you basically have to play with the getting her out in mind handicapping yourself with every other character in your team it's very rare to actually went with her because you are most likely not going to get her out

[@claytonrios1]

I actually like Luke in Street Fighter 6. Plus Reina from Tekken 8. I'm sure the latter will be here to stay for Tekken 9.

[@jasonfoster8473]

Hey man, what happened to your outros?

[@jasonfoster8473]

Sorry your name is Jules. What happened to your outros?

[@CoreyKaha]

Oddjob is great, but his short stature is just the half of it. He can also throw his hat at people for a 1-hit kill.

[@Xboxcampking334]

Gill aka I'm bout to heal

[@ryancraig110]

Top 10 characters that destroyed people online and the second character can't even be played online good job makes a lot of sense doesn't it

[@christophermarshall2362]

Reina is getting balance changes in Tekken 8 tonight as of this video.

[@bluegold1026]

Honorable mention, thought it's a weapon, not a character: the Aerospray RG in Splatoon 3.

[@Hunter-mj7cf]

Lmao Reina is not even top 5, clearly haven't played Tekken 8.

[@WakingTheDemon04]

Glad someone said it. I mean literally both other new characters are stronger than Reina/easier to use

[@alexzavionedmundson6952]

Exactly Reina over Eddy is crazy

[@jacksono1254]

Reina is overrated. If you lose to a reina main, then you have skills issue.

[@THENAMEISQUICKMAN]

Not really, she's very very good. She's just not super top tier. You could argue that she's top 5, maybe, and losing to a strong character doesn't mean you suck.

[@P.A.theDarkstar]

Not having sign offs makes these videos feel rude. Like walking away mid conversation.

[@goku5587]

these noobs actually put Reina over Victor King or Eddie💀she isnt even Overpowered just annoyingly aggressive which can easily be shut down once you know how to properly Punish🤦🏽‍♂️

Bragging about "they can be easily shut down once you know how to properly punish" and complaining about Eddy lmao. Spoiler alert, if you're losing to Eddy, you suck. Been true since Tekken 3

Great topic for a list, and I’m impressed that there were some fresh/original picks on here. Keep making content like this please!

[@QuintessentialGaymer]

If Odd Job isn't on this list it's as grave an oversight as your local cemetery's groundskeeper!

[@Dtgray12]

For League of Legends banning characters actually boils down to meta and counter picks. There are characters that counter Kassidin. At the moment Skarner is the most ban character due to his VG and Skill update. He's imbalanced and needs to be nerfed.

[@deulmonster]

wait didnt kassadin get a kinda rework on his E?, and the reina pick feels abit weird since dragnovs &jun were probs better picks for t8

[@beerguy177]

2b soul calibur 6 players annoyed me

[@cimagarahou3489]

What happened to the big egg outro?

[@MarlonShakes]

No Smite, which releases broken characters over and over. With the release Guan Yu being the most broke they ever released.

[@krvgames9258]

Android 16 destroyed players online? What about Android 21 or whatever her name is? She is THE most overpowered character in Dragon Ball Fighterz!

[@Pezz323]

That thumbnail fills me with such creamy goodness

[@GrieverTheLionHeart]

Kilik in Soul Caliber 2.

[@evolancer211]

Third strike is at evo and combobreaker, regularly. How is that rare to see this have in competition? Reina is the second or third most used player in T8, what you're claiming is false. You know Android 21 is/was wayyy more gamebreaking than 16

[@WolfpackDan859]

Me being an android 16 main.Yes we cook and real hard

For tekken 8 its deviljin even on launch.. and for Umvc3 it should have been ghost rider.. but who plays as the old nick cage ey

For dragon Ball fighterz i would disagree android 21 labcoat version is very broken...

[@krvgames9258]

Yeah, Android 21 is THE most overpowered character in all of Dragon Ball Fighterz. But Jules think it is Android 16, and I don’t think he has even played Dragon Ball Fighterz.

[@cppblank]

Reina? Really?

[@DonkThikkness]

Not so much broken, but incredibly un-fun to play against…Smash Ultimate’s DLC killed the game for me.

[@THENAMEISQUICKMAN]

If it weren't for the Terry DLC I wouldn't have even picked up the game

I stopped playing Overwatch since November of last year not because of Bastion but for another different reason.
