^^^Not really, the move is so hard to land it's basically only good for n00bs, except in SF3: 3rd strike. I've seen some people owned in tournament matches by a sudden Raging Demon.

Custom combos have been overpowered in pretty much every Street Fighter game they appeared in.

i almost forgot the Screw Attack...i know you get it really late in the metroid games, but once you have that combined with the space jump, absolutely nothing can fucking touch you.

Flak Cannon in UT 2003 was overpowered as shit. Get anywhere close to someone and you could blow their effin head off with no real aim necessary. Rocket launcher was pretty annoying too when they added the option to fire the rockets in a tight spiral essentially making it a long distance weapon.

A grenade originally designed for HL2 episode 1 called the "hopwire grenade". Although they never actually put it in the game.

The satellite beam in gears of war was not overpowered. You only used it in scripted event where they wanted you kill a specific enemy with it and it could only be used outside. You could use it to kill the normal guys, but it was not at efficient as just using your rifle and it required you to stay out of cover for too long just to paint the target.

If any weapon was overpowered in that game is was the Boltok, especially in multiplayer, but I wouldn't even consider that overpowered as it takes some time to get good with.

I see your Bo Jackson in Tecmo Super Bowl and raise you a Christian Okoye in the same game.

Hands down the most overpowered weapon ever unleashed in a video game.

Really though, the Mortal Kombat uppercut (1/4 life... and GD scorpion's spear ), as well as the Dragon Punch from ^/^^ are the ultimate fighting game moves.

The Tesla coils were only overpowered in Red Alert 1. In Red Alert 2, the prism tower was just as powerful so it was more balanced. You could power up the Tesla coils with the Tesla troopers which made them stronger, but you could also build more prism towers next to each other to power each other up. But the prism towers were always so much more lame the Tesla coils.


(Red Alert 3 is in the works btw)

I never played Tactics, so I googled "Orlandu."

From Urban Dictionary:
Quote :
"
1. Orlandu
29 up, 1 down

Also "Cidolfas Orlandu," named for the character in Final Fantasy Tactics. Any figure or player considered to be extremely unbalancing, to the point that his very existence could almost be considered cheating. A one-man army capable of walking up to just about any enemy and tearing a new terminal end in said enemy's alimentary canal."

You know a weapon everyone referred to as the "Arcanite Raper" when it first came out had to be overpowered. It was really the first time warriors were a class you even bothered paying attention to in PVP.
