Sometimes you get no dmg reduction, sometimes you don’t knockdown, sometimes it soft locks you, sometimes it HARD locks you, and sometimes it straight up doesn’t work and eats your cooldown… That’s just one ability. He has countless more bugs. And on the final patches instead of fixing any of this they removed most of his stamina and nerfed passionate strike a 4th time…
They didn’t leave it, you and a lot of people seem to think that DICE have their own autonomy. You have no idea how game development works.

Even though Anakin was absurdly broken, that time mightve been the most fun I had in the game. Either as Anakin massacaring droids or as droids running away at the sight of him 😂
Exactly, I don’t think developers and most players understand how fun it is to be OP, and how fun it is to run away from an OP opponent. Like when Anakin appears, it isn’t “Kill him!”, or “defend!”, it’s just “RUN!!!”
Wow the more you watch the more details there are. That’s insane. To think if he died he never woulda pulled off that ability and we might have never gotten this video lmao
-4 Knockdowns -1000 base health -Highest saber damage (used to be 205 per swing with Massive Strikes) -Great stamina -2 abilities that dealt over 500 damage -2 abilities that could clear rooms with insane distance How did this pass through balancing and testing 🤣
Nah all of that needed nerfing. Idk about nerfing the stamina THAT hard tho I mean he is anakin after all. Vaders broken I just wish the light side had someone somewhat broken to.
Now he’s been overnerfed and he’s glitchy as hell. He could’ve used 2 less nerfs. I don’t know what compelled them to nerf his passionate strike into the ground. They should’ve kept the knocked down effect but tweaked it it only knock if someone wasn’t or can’t block! And now the damage does 130 which is the exact same as a normal swing? See what I mean, overnerfed. And don’t even get me started on his defense stamina, what a joke. One second of the Senate’s lightning and you’re defenseless. DICE really did him dirty! Thing is, he would be half decent if he wasn’t so goddamn buggy. But he went from S tear down to C tier at best.
@@Everything2A his attack stamina should be 14 hits and defense should be like 16 lightsaber attacks the blaster defense is fine where it is right now and yeah the also gotta give the passionate strike a lil more range
@@dumb_lifeexe2264 the damage cap for heroic might, passionate not a knock down, saber damage at 130, were fine nerfs. everything else i feel was overboard. tenacious should give 150 health, retro should build up slightly faster than now and should last 3.5 seconds. heroic should build damage but really slowly or cap at a 200 increase
Ah the old days, when General Skywalker could clear a room just by entering it. I remember watching him start Charing heroic might and everyone except like 2 people would start firing in him
What I remember about the launch of Anakin is... is how broken it was. During the waving hours of the game's restoration the Droid Army was discretely transfer back to Naboo. It was a silent trip, we all know what is about happen, who we were about to face. Did we had any doubts, any private quitting urges. Perhaps but nobody said a word. Not on flight to Naboo, not during the boarding of our Capital Ship and not even when we saw Anakin marching toward us with his Retribution matter full. Not a word.
It needed to happen this way. Before Anakin, the dark side won the vast majority of games in Battlefront 2. You could say that he brought balance to the force.
I remember when he first released, i hoped into a game and got dooku , i went into an objective and the moment i entered the room a fully charged anakin was already there and boom i was dead lol
And nowadays if you are half decent Dooku is stomping anakin honestly. Dooku is my absolute favorite for Hero Showdown or HVV. I honestly thou miss the PS2 game so much tho
The ending, where his damage resistance just disappears for no reason and you just die. Also they could've made it so taking damage, caps at 250 instead of keeping it at 100 damage, and damage just increases radius, that's honestly what made players have to use the star card that gives you 50 more damage so you can insta kill smaller units
tbh I would be satisfied if they just made his dashes the lightsaber twirl he did when mace windu confronted em would make him more unique Although it might be too good for em though
I'd be lying if I said I was upset with Anakin when he came out because the villains team was extremely overpowered before he dropped and nobody on the heroes side was as powerful as they are today. So it was very common back then to lose match after match almost endlessly just because you were on the Heroes team. He's still pretty good in Capital Supremacy but he gets killed too easily and too quickly in HvV now. Still something satisfying about the insane multi kills he used to be capable of even if it is unfair.
@@BullyMaguirejr Honestly I think rey would've sat a bit better with fans if they made her luke's granddaughter instead of palpatine's. For example they could've introduced a mara jade like character as lukes wife, have her pregnant and later killed by ben offworld but have the baby survive and be taken in by kind strangers, this would explain why luke was so ready to murder his nephew and why he's a sad old man along with drawing parallels with luke and his father. They also could've made lukes death similar to his father's, sacrificing himself for his offspring etc etc. It would also make her taking the skywalker name make more sense because as it is it reeks of weird new age cuckshit
@@BullyMaguirejr there's like a generation or two between when anakin was the chosen one and rey was so your reasoning isn't valid in that sense, not to mention Luke also. She may not be the best character but she isn't terrible. The terrible one is Disney.
I love how in the update notes dice even said they are gonna make Anakin stronger since he was one of the most powerful jedi and I was like “oh boy here we go”
@@digiorno1142 with Obi Wan's help, heck in the novelization by the time Anakin finally got his rage boost Dooku was already running out of stamina from fighting them both at once. Not to mention Dooku beat Anakin in pretty much all of their other fights.
@@anthonyrodriguez3495 By the time of RoTS Anakin still had huge room for growth and was nowhere near his full potential. Palpatine expected him to surpass him fully in time as he grew into his power. Pre-nerfed Anakin is what he would have become if not for his defeat on Mustafar and subsequent maiming
that last one is completely fair, that's how all heroes work, you can't just walk into 10 enemies and a couple heroes and not expect to be bodied. you release that heroic might right away and get to chopping smaller groups, then run away and pull some more enemies towards you and your allies
What would have made Battlefront 2 heroes/villains more interesting to play as would be to have the star cards either strengthen or change up how some of the abilities function. Such as Leia's grenades, she should still have the choice to use the flash bang or a different grenade entirely. Or Darth Maul's ability cool down shortener, instead of shortening the cooldowns it could be used as a CC breakout but it can only be used once every 5 minutes Or Anakin Skywalker's Passionate Strike cards one of them could change it to where he can perform his son's Sabre Rush and the other card would allow the move to be used in the air but air only
@@POOPGOD999 before they nerfed it maybe but the real anakin skywalker from clone wars was much better and had way more abilities to use. I think ea just didn’t do a good job making a lot of these characters just melee atacking sword characters with force pushes. Real anakin skywalker from movies was way better
Anakin can still do some serious damage after his nerf It’s his stamina that’s really a bit of an issue but even that’s manageable as long as you equip the right cards Heroic might glitching out and not giving you damage reduction is the biggest offender tho
I am SCREAMING at how this is edited! Thank you for the direct comparison. Under no circumstances should any one character been that strong in a multiplayer based game.
Back when Anakin was the chosen one....I know the retribution and heroic might one shot was bs but I wish they brought back the Passion strike knockdown only against lightsaber villains that are blocking.

I'd be lying if I said I was upset with Anakin when he came out because the villains team was extremely overpowered before he dropped and nobody on the heroes side was as powerful as they are today.
So it was very common back then to lose match after match almost endlessly just because you were on the Heroes team.
He's still pretty good in Capital Supremacy but he gets killed too easily and too quickly in HvV now.
Still something satisfying about the insane multi kills he used to be capable of even if it is unfair.
Honestly never had a problem with him like this, it felt a lot more fun taking down the challenge
Yeah whoever was in charge of creating Anakin was obviously a simp for him hahaha
rightly so
He's the Chosen One, of course he is extremely powerful.
"But rey are the real chosen one"
Fuck rey.
@@BullyMaguirejr Honestly I think rey would've sat a bit better with fans if they made her luke's granddaughter instead of palpatine's. For example they could've introduced a mara jade like character as lukes wife, have her pregnant and later killed by ben offworld but have the baby survive and be taken in by kind strangers, this would explain why luke was so ready to murder his nephew and why he's a sad old man along with drawing parallels with luke and his father. They also could've made lukes death similar to his father's, sacrificing himself for his offspring etc etc. It would also make her taking the skywalker name make more sense because as it is it reeks of weird new age cuckshit
The lead hero designer, Guillaume Mroz has recently left dice. Here's to hoping the next guy is better.
@@BullyMaguirejr there's like a generation or two between when anakin was the chosen one and rey was so your reasoning isn't valid in that sense, not to mention Luke also. She may not be the best character but she isn't terrible. The terrible one is Disney.
Honestly when he was OP and someone used it on me I wouldn’t even get mad, just sit back and admire😂
Canonnically accurate anakin reduce to atoms
I love how in the update notes dice even said they are gonna make Anakin stronger since he was one of the most powerful jedi and I was like “oh boy here we go”
0:15
man that bass as he lifts them up is so hype.
The best part of this is that Anakin's power was actually accurate in relation to every other character, but it just wasn't fair or fun to play. Lol
Not really, Palpatine is head and shoulders above Anakin and Dooku is also a better duelist.
@@anthonyrodriguez3495 Anakin beat Dooku in a duel
@@digiorno1142 with Obi Wan's help, heck in the novelization by the time Anakin finally got his rage boost Dooku was already running out of stamina from fighting them both at once.
Not to mention Dooku beat Anakin in pretty much all of their other fights.
@@digiorno1142 With Obi’s help
@@anthonyrodriguez3495 By the time of RoTS Anakin still had huge room for growth and was nowhere near his full potential. Palpatine expected him to surpass him fully in time as he grew into his power. Pre-nerfed Anakin is what he would have become if not for his defeat on Mustafar and subsequent maiming
"I'm not sure you know who you're dealing with." hearing this mid fight is very understated.
This is where the fun begins
Ahh the memories. Haven't played this game in almost 4 years. I'm just sad by it because of what could have been, the missed potential.
i swear to god theres no middle ground whenever something gets nerfed, it's just either nerfed too much or buffed too much.
0:06 the timing of that is crazy
0:45 lol luke
This version of Anakin is what the light side needed nowadays.
0:18 I love the choir in the background
I love dice for making Anakin feel like this would of been his full potential post revenge of the sith
I wish he stayed that way, maybe nerfed a little, but they went too far with the nerfing.
Yes their nerfed his to much, but he did to much damage and had to many knockdowns. The stamina nerf was unnecessary
Nerfed a little? Anakin had 1000 health, 4 knockdowns, 165 lightsaber damage with no draw backs and could one-shot heroes across the map.
@@joesphjoesphson8262 True, Lando's still better.
that last one is completely fair, that's how all heroes work, you can't just walk into 10 enemies and a couple heroes and not expect to be bodied. you release that heroic might right away and get to chopping smaller groups, then run away and pull some more enemies towards you and your allies
0:25 that was a smooth transition ;)
Glad someone noticed
Clone wars voice actor just fits too perfectly
Honestly tho broken anakin was the only thing keeping the dark and light side equal in hvv
Back when Anakin had 1,000 HP...
Wait did Anakin just say all to easy in front of Vader? 😂 as palpatine would say “Ironic” 😂
What would have made Battlefront 2 heroes/villains more interesting to play as would be to have the star cards either strengthen or change up how some of the abilities function.
Such as Leia's grenades, she should still have the choice to use the flash bang or a different grenade entirely.
Or Darth Maul's ability cool down shortener,
instead of shortening the cooldowns it could be used as a CC breakout but it can only be used once every 5 minutes
Or Anakin Skywalker's Passionate Strike cards one of them could change it to where he can perform his son's Sabre Rush and the other card would allow the move to be used in the air but air only
0:12 ok but that transition 👌
These were the days. The way people would turn their backs and flee when they saw Anakin running towards them 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is literally as close to Prime Anakin as we are going to get
Not even close you guys need to stop hyping up anakin over one stupid broken ability getting really cringe
@@DarthMaulOfficial this ability does make him really badass though
@@POOPGOD999 before they nerfed it maybe but the real anakin skywalker from clone wars was much better and had way more abilities to use. I think ea just didn’t do a good job making a lot of these characters just melee atacking sword characters with force pushes. Real anakin skywalker from movies was way better
Anakin can still do some serious damage after his nerf
It’s his stamina that’s really a bit of an issue but even that’s manageable as long as you equip the right cards
Heroic might glitching out and not giving you damage reduction is the biggest offender tho
Yep. He's still a powerhouse!
the good old days T-T, now i only play the evil faction instead of the rebel faction
We do not grant you the rank of master
That Luke was clinging on to dear life in the second to last clip😂
I am SCREAMING at how this is edited! Thank you for the direct comparison. Under no circumstances should any one character been that strong in a multiplayer based game.
Glad you enjoyed💯
Him being that strong was decently accurate, lmao
I miss when passionate strike knocked people down
The broken one requires skill now😔
I'm still not going to be pissed that they threw this away for 2042😭😭
Look what they have done to me
i know bro felt like god when he went and hit retribution on all those droids 😭😭😭
I would cream instantly
That fucking Dr Phil meme at the end destroyed me lmao
Its so funny watching greivias attacking Anakin knowing hes just gonna die
My only regret with BF2 is not being there to play Anakin in his peak. Still a main tho.
Back when Anakin was the chosen one....I know the retribution and heroic might one shot was bs but I wish they brought back the Passion strike knockdown only against lightsaber villains that are blocking.
I understand that he was OP on release but I don’t think they should’ve nerfed him as much as they did
Anyone remember when heroic might could kill any hero in one shot even through a block?
Pewdiepie immediately made me think of the hunger games ranch instead of the Dr Phil ranch
Anakin at launch was even more absurdly overpowered than Palpatine was in the first Battlefront, and that is saying a HELL of a lot!
