Slanders versus Homer Simpson highly ho Homer old buddy are you ready to go a few rounds with the Flying Fist of Flanders welcome to Mojo plays and today we'll be looking at playable video game characters whose overpowered mechanics Feats and stats make them broken [Music] powerhouses if a character in an online game was nerfed they were still considered as long as were unfairly strong at some point before we begin we publish new content all week long so be sure to subscribe and ring the bell to get notified about our latest videos rugal Bernstein the King of Fighters 98 go this Dapper villain took on the role of final boss in the original King of Fighters and has made several memorable appearances since similar to many final boss bosses and fighting games he was designed to be overpowered with his signature move genocide cutter dealing higher damage than any other in the game he was made playable in the King of Fighters 98 and from a pure strength standpoint he surpassed every other character that made him easy to play as but a pain to face console versions even had a code to let you use his much faster second form Omega rugal in case you really wanted to annoy your friends Koopa Troopa and parat Troopa Mario Kart Double Dash on paper it's hard to imagine that any Mario Kart Racers are more unfairly balanced than others but Double Dash introduced special items unique to each Duo of characters Koopa trupa and parat tra's special made them quick choices when entering the character select screen before they were added as items any racer could get these minions had access to a trio of green or red shells while the green ones made for excellent defense the Homing red ones made it much easier to get opponents out of the way each Racer's specials had benefits but this level of offense and defense was [Music] [Music] unmatched lion Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege do Macintosh is Hol Up in the corology lab but external calms just went dark reach your location ASAP each of the operators in Rainbow Six Siege naturally has their own strengths and weaknesses however when it came to Lion weaknesses were hard to spot his signature feat was using a drone to scan the environment highlighting players on the opposing team through walls for all of his teammates to see given the game's destructible environments you and your allies could then easily unload into them it got to a point where Ubisoft had to remove him for a while to figure out how to rework him when he returned he was significantly nerfed with enemy outlines being replaced by pings on the map and shortened duration for how long they appeared Anakin Skywalker Star Wars Battlefront 2 they W buil so tough after all guess we should get after them then to be fair any character wielding a lightsaber and the force is overpowered compared to most of those who don't but when Anakin first released he was on another level added to Battlefront 2 in early 2019 players only got to exploit him for a few months before the Nerfs started rolling in his retribution ability charged when he or his allies took damage and choked every enemy around him when Unleashed for 4 seconds he could also hit multiple enemies with heroic might a powerful blast that dealt more damage than depending on how much Anakin was taking both of these abilities along with base damage output would thankfully be reworked as he was a nightmare to encounter call this a dipl Ned Flanders The Simpsons wrestling Heavenly poers compelled in the it was funny finding out the soft spoken Flanders was secretly buff on the show but facing him in the arena is no laughing matter while you did have to unlock him and his regular attacks weren't too strong his special abilities made him a popular pick he's the only combatant in the game who can be revived after he's been pinned not only that but his special move which summons lightning bolts from the sky to Smite you deals the highest damage of any attack in the game who could have known that this mild mannered churchgoer was so good at laying the smackdown one two three the Zerg Starcraft in Starcraft players can choose to play as one of three different races the human Tern the technologically advanced protos and the violent alien Zerg each has benefits and faults but when playing in multiplayer the latter group is definitely the most problematic to face due to all their weapons and structures being organic it takes the Zerg much less time and cost less resources to build their attack units while they are physically weaker than the other two it gives you an edge at the onset as you can quickly overwhelm your opponents before they have a proper chance to defend themselves if you want the early Advantage these Zerg are extremely enticing Pet Shop JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Heritage for the future oh perfect as an updated version of capcom's original game Heritage for the future brought in several new Fighters including the insanely broken Pet Shop being a bird he may not look all that powerful but he certainly is his wings give him ridiculous mobility and Agility making the possibility of Landing a hit on him very small his speed means he can rack up powerful combos with some moves being unblocked in fact he can summon icicles above an opponent and hit low at the same time and his opponent will not be able to block both understandably his ability to suppress every other character has gotten him banned in [Music] competitions perfect Monkey King Dota 2 dire's middle Tower is under attack very me with valve's ridiculously popular MOA has seen a lot of characters get ated over the years but none were quite as unbalanced as the Chinese mythology inspired Monkey King added in late 2016 The Monkey King was the type of character you could just watch pop off with high damage numbers or Gran if you were on the receiving end his passive jingu Mastery had no duration and could earn extra charge attacks that dealt higher damage and stole life he had high armor and health his boundless strike dealt major critical damage and his special woo Kong's command created multiple clones with the bash ability which gave them a chance to stun and deal extra damage needless to say he's been nerfed quite a bit radi is really that's your best dire Victory idol killer instinct winner Supreme Victory the final boss in rares classic fighter Idol undoubtedly brought in a ton of quarters at the arcade however if you went up against someone who knew the secret code to playism that basically ensured you'd lose the next fight Idol is definitely a Powerhouse with his ability to shoot multiple Fireballs massive horns and a move that can reflect projectiles thankfully it's only during his boss fight where he can heal himself though that's just replaced by an ability that powers up special moves he made it onto the console version as well being locked behind a code meant you could Lord Idol over anyone you wanted fight ready sitting n Marvel versus Capcom 2 New Age of [Applause] Heroes fans of this beloved mashup refer to a group of characters as the four Gods due to how overpowered they are of the group it's the gigantic Sentinel that seems the most unfair it isn't just the mutant killing machine's stature that makes fights unbalanced though it certainly plays A Part you'd expect a lumbering Behemoth to move slowly but Sentinel moves with frightening ferocity it also has a handful of unblockable attacks which is more than a little Annoying and its specials take up the majority of the screen unlike many others meaning there's no place to hide from taking damage no wonder these things are so efficient Basin OverWatch no matter how many times blizzard reworked bastion's kit he always seemed to pour damage everywhere while easily avoiding it himself while in turret mode bastion's extremely fast f rate led to many easy kills of the opposing team switching between turret and Recon mode also gave him a huge clip size before needing to reload and if he had a mercy attached to him with a shield there wasn't much anyone could do to stop him all of these annoyances on top of a self-healing mechanic and an ult that could easily One-Shot nearly every other hero thankfully the sequel finally nerfed several of these overpowered abilities Victory Leroy Smith Tekken 7 time to take out the trash added through DLC in late 2019 it didn't take long to realize how Leroy broke the entirety of Tekken 7 at the Evo Japan 2020 tournament 7 of the eight top contenders fought as him which just goes to show how badly he needed to be nerfed you win come on prior to Patch's released that solely targeted him he could deal heavy damage with minor button inputs his ridiculous combo potential and the ability to Parry most moves other than throws and projectiles made for a fighter that worked too well even if his attacks missed or were blocked his recovery time made it hard to retaliate the game was made all the better for having balanced him you're done KO you win you're going out with nothing to show for Akuma Street Fighter series introduced in Super Street Fighter 2 turbo Akuma was a nasty piece of work to fight but a joy to use against others while he looks and fights a bit similarly to Ryu and kin he's much stronger faster and has a few Troublesome moves the other two [Music] don't you his phasing ability made it so he could pop up right behind his opponent while his midair Fireballs would catch players off guard on top of that his super move became Infamous for how much damage it could deal he's been unbalanced in other games as well in Tekken 7 developers had to Nerf his over-the-top xgauge wi Ivan ooze Mighty Morphin Power Rangers the fighting [Music] Edition in most fighting games that let you unlock the final boss their power is scaled back so that it's fair while playing against others at least a little bit well the developers behind this mid90s Power Rangers tie-in chose not to do that with Ivan ooze he is just as difficult to face in the hands of a player as the [Music] computer he can fly meaning that throws and low attacks won't work against him and can even rise high enough so that most attacks in general will miss he has a variety of fire attacks one of which homes in on his opponent and others which block projectiles even if you do land an attack he also has an ability to break out of [Music] combos Bayonetta Super Smash Bros for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U ready go fans were ecstatic to see Bayonetta get announced for the fourth Super Smash Brothers but for many of them that excitement quickly turned sour when they had to fight against her her smash attacks which called giant demonic appendages forth had insane range her witch time ability could easily slow everyone around her allowing for great follow-up potential she was also great at juggling and had fantastic recovery after a player won the Evo Smash tournament with her in 2017 players who used her the following year were booed throughout their fights players were likely glad to see her nerfed for the release of Smash ultimate as facing her here was usually an uphill [Music] battle to a mega Rayquaza Pokémon series [Music] well Pokémon is meant to seem balanced with different types and passive abilities mega Rayquaza is undeniably broken as a legendary it is already a pretty powerful Pokémon usually a mega stone is required for a Pokemon to briefly evolve into their ultimate form but Rayquaza is the only one who doesn't need it meaning a player can then give it a different item to hold and use in battle its base stats are also tied with m mega evolutions for the highest of any creature at 780 even Uber tournaments meant for the ultra powerful band Pokémon couldn't handle him and a knew anything ghost here had to be [Music] created Yoda Soul Caliber 4 proceed onward you win my Ally is the force this fighting Series has seen its fair share of broken guest characters soulcaliber 2 on the GameCube featured link whose long range bow Boomerang and bombs gave him an unfair Advantage but at least players could still land a hit on him which was a lot harder with Yoda on Soulcalibur 4 the Jedi Master appeared in the Xbox 360 version while PS3 players got Darth Vader though Yoda could still be purchased as d LC learn the way of the for Well you certainly talk big battle one fight hey he used his short height to his Advantage making it easy for those who played as him to avoid many of their opponent's attacks coupled with his stature were his acrobatic flips so you could essentially become a tiny spinning ball of death you win clear your mind of question brigita OverWatch while many players would rather let someone else take care of the team's healing there's no denying how brigita completely changed OverWatch she dealt pretty solid damage for a support hero and she could easily keep her team well armored on top of their health her Shield bash could also stun any character out of any ability even able to go through the shields of Tanks many fans credit her with having broken the game's meta and so blizzard has nerfed her to Helen back several times over they made her Shield not nearly as durable and made it so her repair packs didn't offer as much health and OverWatch 2 removed stuns from most characters metan Knight Super Smash Brothers [Music] Brawl introduced in the we brawl no character in the history of Smash has ever been more unfairly balanced than metanite we had fast characters before but he was faster we had characters with great recovery but his was better his varied moves including two where he essentially became a tornado of blades could rack up percentages and his General Mobility made him an expert edgu [Applause] guarder that's not to mention his down special which could teleport him to either closed distance or avoid damage he has the honor of being the first smash character to be banned in tournaments and we completely understand why odd job golden eye7 when players think of the most unfair playable characters in video games oddjob is likely one of the first who comes to mind golden i7 revolutionized first-person shooters on consoles and was another multiplayer Giant in the n64s library but an unspoken rule between friends and siblings was upheld in nearly every household no one is allowed to pick odja despite being relatively normal sized in his movie appearance the villain's height is drastically decreased here for every other character you can shoot down the sights just fine but for him and because of the Retro control scheme you'd have to stop moving and manually aim anyone who picked him was almost guaranteed to win leading to a legacy that will never be topped [Music] which of these characters did you hate going up against and which ones did you always choose let us know in the comments and be sure to subscribe to Mojo plays for more great
