  • Hey guys! I'm back with another video! I know I said that I would have this out by Wednesday at the latest, but I ended up drowning in school work, so I finally managed to get this out today. Thank you all for your patience.
    Today, I'm looking at characters in video games that were unknowingly made extremely powerful, to the point where it makes you wonder how the developers didn't notice the first time around. We're going on a power trip, boys. Enjoy!

    ...You listed Oddjob as "unintentional" despite the fact that he was _entirely_ intentional. The devs went on-record in very early interviews saying that "Using Oddjob is cheating, he's there so players who suck can play and still have a chance."

    For a long time, Pichu is has not been considered the worst character in melee. Kirby and Bowser are far worse, most of kirby's throws can be escaped from merely be wiggling the control stick (which seems more unintentionally broken).

    • @ArbitraryOutcome
      @ArbitraryOutcome 5 місяців тому +82

      Yeah, I think Pichu still at least had some of Pikachu's strengths going on due to being a clone. Kirby was just straight up non-functional half the time (a stark contrast to Smash 64, the only game where Kirby was not just "good" but straight up top 3) and Bowser's characteristics in his laggy movement and attacks combined with his size work entirely against him. It's funny because he's at least been "okay" after his Smash 4 rework, meanwhile fellow heavy character Ganondorf was actually okay in Melee only to infamously end up bottom 3 (bottom 1 in Brawl and Ultimate) in every subsequent installment.

      Kirby's grabs being escaped seems intentional, because the ones you can escape can all sewer slide off the edge, taking your opponent with you. They probably thought that was too broken.

    There was another Bond game that came out in 2002 called Nightfire that also had a multiplayer mode... Oddjob was also one of the playable characters. They fixed his height... but they also gave him a unique throwable weapon, his hat, that was an instant kill. It wasn't even a one-time weapon, you just had to pick it up again and continue using it.
    For context, some shotguns weren't even an instant kill in Nightfire's multiplayer, in fact the only two weapons in the game that were an INSTANT kill was The Golden Gun, which was locked behind a game mode, or Oddjob's hat.

      It'd be nice if he could actually explain some of these choices. I don't play fighting games, so I'm still lost on how Pichu was "unintentionally broken" in Smash Ultimate. I figured the first character he'd mention would be Ice Climbers, as they're ACTUALLY unintentionally broken in Melee.

    A character that I feel would absolutely fit this list is Penta Penguin from Crash Team Racing (the original). The thing with Penta is that he was added as a last minute addition and has very weird things regarding him (he has some placeholder voice lines, has a random mask between Aku Aku and Uka Uka...). And while in the American version he's just a regular racer, in the Japanese and European versions he was incorrectly given the stats of Nitros Oxide, the final boss of the game who's not even playable in the PS1 version. This means that this silly penguin who only appeared in a cutscene in Crash 3 is the best racer to play as in the game if you're Japanese or European!

    I remember playing the Bioshock 2 multiplayer on Playstation 3, specifically the melee only golf-club mode. However, after leveling your character for a while you get a perk that doubles your melee damage. Which made you one-shot everyone in the golf-mode. After that info spread around the mode turned into a rush to be the first to land a hit and run along to the next enemy. All while the loser was stuck in the lobby waiting to spawn again. People quickly stopped playing it after that cause new players complained about it. Was an excellent place to farm for leveling tho.

    Neat Video!
    Some things i would correct through - While Melee Pichu's self-damage doesn't help, it's actually just a minor weakness for the character - so much so that Pichu does fine in Ultimate despite having the same mechanic. The self-damage just isn't that much, and most of his strongest moves in melee (most notably Neutral Air) don't inflict self-damage.
    The bigger issues imo (which were buffed in Ultimate) were bad range on his attacks (a weakness shared by Pikachu) and lackluster damage output and kill options (Which pikachu has with Up Smash for high% and Up Air for low%), as well as an absolutely atrocious tech-roll.
    I'm not an Ultimate player, but IIRC Pichu had a very strong combo game and Forward-Tilt as a solid kill option before the nerfs which took away these weaknesses.

    @lilthreegame7991 2 місяці тому

    Imo the actual OP companion in fallout 4 is Curie!
    Companions in fallout 4 scale with your player level, meaning when you level up your companion's hp gets a little larger. This happens to every companion except Curie.
    Codsworth starts with 195 hp and has integrated armor values due to being a Mr. Handy.
    Curie's started hp is a whopping 440 hp with integrated armor values like Codsworth. This means she starts with over double codsworth's hp at level 1.
    By about level 40 codsworth still isn't catching up with only 345 hp, and at level 60 he just barely eeks out at 445 hp. But by that point you likely have unlocked part of her personal quest, where she asks you to help her find a body, meaning turn her into a synth. This change into synth does sacrifice her integrated armor but it does open her up to humanoid armors! It also boosts her hp to a whopping 670, which codsworth still won't hit even at level 100!
    So not only can she do all the things codsworth does with the automaton dlc, she has the option to forgo her metal body and become a humanoid, and has insane amounts of hp throughout the entirety of your fallout 4 playthrough. (and you will likely reach the end of the story far before even hitting level 60)
    Her downsides arent too crazy either, the quest can be tricky to start requiring you to leave and return to that vault a couple times before you can get curie, and her SPECIAL stats are a lot lower than Codsworth, rocking a 4 on everything except intelligence which is an 11. (But in my opinion, your follower's SPECIAL stats rarely affect much about the game)
    Anyways, it's a great video!

  • @bowserknight

    The thing about Oddjob is, in one of the next 007 games, called "Nightfire", its multiplayer mode also had Oddjob as a playable character. In that game, he had a special weapon which only he can use. Once per stock (if I remember right), he could throw his hat which just instantly kills any enemy it touches. I think it also had slight homing capabilities.
    I can't recall if he was also smaller in that game.
    So he was somewhat broken in 2 games, not just one.

    I think dogmeat is also worth a mention. Codsworth still nullifies Lone wanderer, and requires a dlc to hit that useful peak.
    Dogmeat doesn't disable Lone Wanderer, one of the strongest perks, has a carry capacity of 150, due to a (at least in survival), bug where equipping any gear but welder's goggles on him (can have them, just need a bandana/collar too), and has his own perks to buff even further.
    I've never used any companions in Fo4 after I learned that, everyone else felt useless by comparison, especially with vanilla companion aim, if we're specifying unmodded.

    Other OP characters in games:
    -Brawl Meta Knight. Enough said.
    -Fox in Melee has a 0-frame reflector and is insanely fast.
    -Marth in Melee can grab a character across the entire screen due to a glitch.
    -Gil in Street Fighter 3 is absurdly OP, able to use 3 supers rather than just one and all of them being broken, especially the 2nd and third ones. 2nd special is "seraphic wing" that is a full screen unlockable instakill and the 3rd special is "holy resurrection" which activates automatically when killed and FULLY REVIVES HIM WITH FULL HP.
    -Goro and that horse guy in the original Mortal Kombat trilogy.
    -Reverse HP+Surpassing Power+Ultima Blade in Bravely Default 2 being so OP that it can OKO every enemy in the game INCLUDING THE SUPERBOSS.
    -The freelancer and beastmaster classes in BD2 also being incredibly OP with their class passives. Super easy to get maxed stats.
    -Boiling Blood + Surpassing Power + Warrior Divine Art at 1 HP in Octopath 1 can do 99,999 damage guaranteed.
    -Sorcerer Therion or Teresa + multiple fire or wind boosting weapons + compression DA + encore + surpassing power + Tier 3 fire/wind spell = TOTAL DEATH. (Octopath 1)
    -Hikari in general in Octopath 2. Absolutely busted character.
    -Any version of Donald in MUGEN, but especially Golden Donald, Dark Donald, and Chaos Donald.
    -Any "cheapie" in MUGEN like A-Bomb, 2nd Death Star, Primeus/Gay Bahamut, Omega Tom Hanks, 2nd Death Star, and Crazy Catastrophe.
    -Rex in Xenoblade 3 Future Redeemed. He does so much damage that he eats ALL the aggro and the tanks become useless because they can't gain more aggro than Rex.
    -Mythra in Xenoblade 2. "Double spinning edge double spinning edge double spinning edge double..."
    -The Signifier class in Xenoblade 3.
    -Some heroes in Xenoblade 3 like Asherah and Grey.
    -The DLC demons in SMT4 and their skills.
    -White Rider in SMT4 Apocolypse pre-patch could mutate one of his skills to light pierce if you got lucky, allowing his special move "Divine Judgement" to OKO every enemy in the game including bosses. This was patched in an update.
    -Atsuro in Devil Survivor Overclocked.
    -Norn, Astaroth, Lakshmi, and a few others in DeSu1.
    -Shinjiro in Persona 3 Reload.
    -Izanagi-No-Okami in Persona 5 Royal.
    -Almighty Boost + Almighty Amp + Multi-Target boost + concentrate + Megadolan on a Persona like Massiah or Orpheus Picaro in P3R.

    MetaKnight was a special case
    75% of compeditors thought he should be banned, and he was banned... but...
    The top players were mostly MetaKnight
    Tournaments wanted to attract top talent... but all the top talent was MetaKnight so they had to opent up their tournaments to MetaKnight even though the community agreed he was overpowered.
    As time went on, it became obvious that if your tournament didn't have MetaKnight, the top names would boycott, and no money would be made... therefore, the only tournaments that could afford to ban MetaKnight had small payouts.
    The lesson... if you are going to ban a character, you gotta do it early... before the mains dominate the leaderboards and make names for themselves. If you don't bring down the banhammer fast, the players with the unfair advantage will stack the deck in their favor.
