10 of the most overpowered video game characters of all time! Here’s a list of the ten characters that are astoundingly awesome, superbly super, incredibly incredible. The ten most overpowered video game characters of all time. Rounding out our list the tenth combatant comes out swinging- 10. Ness- Earthbound. Many people know Ness only as that kid with a bat in Smash Bros. Well let me tell you, he came from a li'l game called Earthbound first. This kid is the end all be all for RPG protagonists who are so powerful they make the rest of your party look like total douchebags. By the end of the game, Ness could potentially be pumping out 1000 points a round with his physical attacks alone, not to mention that he got so many hit points that your other characters secretly plotted against him out of envy. 9. Ryu- Marvel vs. Capcom 1. “But Alex, I’ve played Marvel Vs. Capcom. Ryu wasn’t overpowered at all! I’m calling your entire article into question now based on this one fact! You and everything you stand for are completely wrong!” Well rest easy, dear reader, as I will tell you why Ryu was an overpowered character. MvC’s Super Move system has become fairly standard for flashy fight games. Attacks fill up a super meter, use stocked up levels of the meter to do flashy super attacks, blah, blah, blah. Each MvC character had at least a few super attacks, generally 2-3. Ryu was a fly in the ointment to this, a spanner in the works; the X-factor. Ryu had three basic super moves, but he had two extra that weren’t so obvious. Mimic Ken and Evil Ryu transformation. Those supers gave him the complete moveset and fighting style of Ken and Akuma, respectively. Thusly, Ryu was three characters in one, with dozens of special attacks and a whopping twelve super moves at his disposal. My God, his power truly is incredible. 8. Teepo- Breath of Fire III. The Breath of Fire series was Capcom’s foray into the Final Fantasy style RPG world. The series has a pretty loyal fan base, and even spawned one of my personal favorite games, Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter, a tactical RPG. But I digress. The Breath of Fire games have always put you in the shoes of a dragonborne hero by the name of Ryu, and BoF III was no exception. I won’t bore you or myself with the details of the story outside of the fact that the two other starting characters, Rei and Teepo, are the two coolest mofos in the game. Rei was lightning fast, and hit like a train. Teepo was, for lack of a better word, a completely superior version of you. Every stat was better, he had a better moveset. Hell, he even had a cooler character model. Alas, this ill-fated union was not to last, as shortly into the game Teepo and Rei are whisked away, and only Rei was destined to return to your control. How sad, think of the possibilities. 7. Vergil- Devil May Cry 3: Dante’s Awakening (Special Edition). Vergil is one of the main baddies of DMC 3, so when they gave the chance to play as this badass in the special edition, I squealed like a little girly girl. Vergil is a much stronger, faster character than Dante, with a more limited equipment selection but much more bang for your buck. His swords and gauntlets tote a lot more tree-splitting, earth-shattering, pants-crapping power than ol’ Dante’s stuff, and he has a ridiculously overpowered set of ranged attacks consisting of swords you can chuck at enemies while doing absolutely any other move you’ve got. 6/5. Darth Revan/ Jedi Outcast, Knights of the Old Republic/ Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords. I’m lumping these two cats together because they are very similar in their overpoweredness. Both of them get stupid powerful lightsaber attacks, way more feats, powers, HP, force points than everyone else, and feats and powers exclusive to them alone. What’s this? Where’s the rest of the list? Well, dear reader, I have broken this list into two articles because there’s just too much goodness to these characters to try to condense it into one article.
