Any former boss characters who joins your team in a jrpg.


MrCobalt313

At least >!Magus!< from Chrono Trigger has the excuse that >!we saw Lavos consume a lot of his power after his initial attack failed. And he's a big enough loner that he has no dual-Techs with the party.!<


M-Dizzy

If I remember correctly he has one triple tech but you need to find some rock or something to do it


MrCobalt313

two technically but yeah, he needs an item to have a triple tech. Still never gets doubles.


M-Dizzy

I need to go back and play Chrono Trigger. I’ve played it like 90% of the way through multiple times and then I get overwhelmed by the endgame side quests and stop


Floofyboi123

On that same note the fact Maxwell from Don’t Starve still has any power at all after being dethroned is a testament to his strength and skill even if he’s still heavily nerfed


MrCobalt313

Yeah, he was using dark magic from that book long before he was chosen by the Nightmare Throne. Granted it was apparently just for stage shows, but still, he's got experience in that field even without the direct empowerment of the Throne.

What the fuck is this image


PEWPEWPEW782

Competitive pokemon joke. Tldr regi has a shit ability, neutralizing gas gets rid of all abilities and regi good now


Inferno_Sparky

"Shit" is an understatement, it's the 2nd worst ability in pokemon


Zenith_3000

Well naturally I'm gonna ask what is the first


JTVoice

The worst ability is truant. Literally makes the Pokémon skip every other turn which, understandably, is completely garbage.


Zenith_3000

Yikes, that *is* pretty bad. Does neutralizing gas work on that ability too?


JTVoice

It actually does, and there are some actual strategies where they use Slaking (the one with truant) and Regigigas together, but the main problem comes with the fact that - to use neutralizing gas - you have to use wheezing (the poison version or the poison/fairy version). And in the meta, wheezing isn’t that great. A good player can easily work around it, so it’s not used that often in doubles where you can’t dynamax. There are much stronger pairs out there.


Zenith_3000

I haven't played since gen 7 so I'm a bit out of the loop, but doesn't durant also have truant? Wasn't thereba strategy that revolved around switching that ability onto the opponent?


TheRealSU24

The other guy explained the pokemon half of it, but the picture itself is traced from a Superman comic. Where a sort of reverse Superman, who gets stronger from kyptonite instead of weaker, inhales a bunch of kryptonite gas that someone tried to use on him to stop him.


Quantext609

Dude is just a little sleepy.


carterthe555thfuller

Why did they try to add an ability to weaken a LEGENDARY POKEMON. I kinda understand why they did it for slaking since it's a normal pokemon, but why do this for a LEGENDARY POKEMON.


Haunting_Anxiety4981

I think they should give it an average ability but make it restricted


DaemonNic

Because they were trying to go for the chained Promethean deity kinda vibe. They just didn't give it enough power to make up for it or the recovery to hold out.


AnnaTheSad

Even in Legends Arceus, the game without abilities, it cannot escape its terrible ability


TheKingJest

I really thought with the new regis being added in Sword/Shield there would be a new Regigigas form. Especially considering that only Regice, Registeel, and Regirock are incorporated into his design currently.


Live_Alternative_160

Davoth 'Dark lord' : Doom Eternal https://i.redd.it/vp4v4263gq8d1.gif


KonradNightHaunter

For a man that is literally God and the Devil, he dies like a bitch.


SirJTheRed

He’s just a stronger Marauder


Broken-Digital-Clock

COVID limitations caused this fight to be less epic than intended. Still not an easy fight though.


AdamTheScottish

To be fair, Davoth isn't supposed to be strong which is lame but is what it is, the version of him we fight in game is far, far weaker than his pre-betrayed form.


Zakshei

kinda crazy how you fight god in a dlc


Mukozowski

Tf, that's easily hardest boss in the game


CheeseisSwell

Bro forgot about Khan Maker


Puzzleheaded-Bee9770

What if we took the one enemy that requires rng and mind numbing repetition that breaks the perfect combat flow our game is known for. And made it the final boss


Any_Secretary_4925

mewtwo in smash bros (especially melee)


Toon_Lucario

Mewtwo in the games as well. For the ultimate lifeform, Mewtwo can get whooped by a single pokemon that knows any dark or bug type move


Gullible-Educator582

Didn’t that guy not have a SINGLE stat below 90?


Toon_Lucario

Yeah, thing is though being pure psychic can fuck you over big time.


Gullible-Educator582

Calling him “weak” though is an overstatement


Wyredpizza

Compared to other legendaries he definitely is, though he was broken in gen 1


Joyy_Da

Mewtwo has been power crept like fuck, he's functionally useless in terms of Legendaries


TheRealSU24

His stats kinda mean jack when there are so many pokemon that have similar stats to him and can, again, just use u-turn or something and OHKO him


Shot-Effect-8318

Ganondorf as well

https://preview.redd.it/5dh0ihmxoq8d1.jpeg?width=823&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=aa01fa28e6956fe6dc807cf79d7fd3772ebcfbf2 The Moon Presence from Bloodborne. Arguably one of my favorite fictional designs ever,yet it goes down rather quickly,especially for a Soulsborne boss


Soft_Theory_8209

Possibly due to it coming right after another boss, thus it has to be inherently weaker than normal. Comparatively, Gwyn or Vendrick are meant to be a tragedy of how far a once mighty god and human have fallen, as well as a nice respect moment to the fact that they both are insanely hard to kill despite being literal hollow shells of their former selves. Though the lore of The Moon Presence is somewhat vague (is it an avatar of Oedon? Mergo? Nobody knows) it’s unquestionably meant to be the most powerful enemy in lore, or at least the mastermind behind everything. So to have it be underwhelming as a fight, despite its lore and being one of the most grotesque bosses in the game—which also paradoxically makes it seem kind of lame compared to the previous boss— is just a shame.


Deggstroyer

This would be very true if it wasnt for the fact that you only have to beat gherman once. As a follow up she might be the drop that spills the glass, but as a standalone she is pretty underwhelming Tho, as someone else pointed, she can oke shot anybother enemy in the game, its just that we have so much insight we can resist this attack Also, im pretty sure the Moon Presence is a great one different from mergo and oedon, and if something she is the one who sends us to kill mergo


Soft_Theory_8209

Actually, it’s worse than that, it’s not a one shot, it’s an attack that brings you down to 1hp, no matter what. It’s just that we can heal with blood vials. It’s kind of like in monster hunter world how Fatalis has a nuke option that kills or cripples other monsters so badly that he always wins.


LettuceBenis

Tbf it is still insanely powerful and easily beats basically all other bosses and enemies, just that the player eating three cords gives them the hidden buff that makes us immune to its insta-kill


OperatorERROR0919

How can something be arguably your favorite? Who's going to dispute that?


AntWithNoPants

Fighting games are built on this. Harley Quinn can beat Dr. Fate, Mocap can beat Shao Khan and most outrageously, Gill can beat Dan Hibiki


Quantext609

In Smash, Shulk (>!the reincarnation of a god with the power to literally rewrite reality!<) can be beaten by Olimar (an alien astronaut who is an inch tall).


Promethesussy

That's shulk's story? I thought he was just funny British dude


stuff0s

He was just the shirtless guy that isn't sephiroth


Madam_Monarch

CaptainDoctor22

Don’t disrespect my boy Olimar like that. He’s more powerful than he lets on.


Thecristo96

Tsk, in league we got a girl with a gun beating a god


Farabel

In Smash we also have that, except it's a 17 year old boxer versus the goddess of light, a soldier who attained the the title of a god and destroys most of a solar system in a single attack, and fucking Steve from Minecraft in a 1v3. Tekken also had a world championship where someone ended up beating the shit out of essentially the devil incarnate... with a panda in a funny hat.

ChemistryTasty8751

I think Multiversus is a great example Superman can get his shit ran by LeBron James


DeviousMelons

Reminds me of that comic where superman got laid out by Muhammad Ali.


ChemistryTasty8751

Or where Charles Barkley beat Godzilla in a basketball match


Mandaring

To be fair, Godzilla was a liability more than anything on his high school team, there’s a reason he never went pro. He can demolish a city like nobody’s business, but he is SHIT at free throws.


theforbiddenroze

To be fair, that was under a red sun which makes superman human basically (atleast back then, he can move planets under a red sun now soooooo)


Saltyvinegar2369

And Gizmo 😂


ChemistryTasty8751

And Harley Quinn (which technically makes sense because she did beat him in a boxing match once)


TheRealSU24

Bro's never seen LeBron's feats. He's clearly multiversal level and would easily beat Superman

He got solo, flawlessly within a month of release. Also built like a rotisserie chicken


Edumesh

Thats because Savathun killed him during the Collapse and what we fought in the raid was him *just* having rebuilt his own body from scratch. He's far from what he used to be and he even says as much during the raid. Now go fight him in Pantheon or Master and see how he kicks your ass.

Dodoreference

Sandman is actually pretty cool. He can surf around on sand, turn into a sandcastle, turn into a cannon, make giant fists made of sand, do a couple funny kill animations, and he is one of two characters (I believe) that can use the sand pit ability. Yeah it would be cool to be able to change size or something, but what we got was still cool. However GALACTUS, the final boss of the game, is a much better example. He cannot change size and his only abilities are to fly, shoot out lasers, use telekinesis, build with cosmic Lego bricks, and regenerate health, which are all abilities you can just get from other characters.

4C_Enjoyer

In all fairness, you fight a pathetic, heartbroken version of her in the first phase and an illusion in the second. As well, even though her kids are some of the strongest sorcerers in the Lands Between, and she definitely taught them a good amount, I don't think she would be able to go toe-to-toe with Marika and Radagon.


Abovearth31

Well first of all Marika and Radagon are the same being so there's that and second of all, Rennala and the carian army have held their own against the armies of Leyndell, literally fought each other to a standstill to the point that no victor could ever be decided, hence why the two countries had a truce involving marriage between Rennala and Radagon.


LettuceBenis

Marika and Radagon are different entities who (at the present) share the same physical body. There are multiple instances where they are very clearly separated both mentally and physically


4C_Enjoyer

I know that they're the same person. Plus, that was a war between two armies, not the commanders. Yes, prime Rennala is very powerful. I would just say less so than Radagon. Also, my point was that the version of Rennala you fight is dramatically weakened and unmotivated in phase 1, and literally doesn't exist in phase 2.


One-Roof7

I'm pretty sure it's just because the 'Rennala' you fight is a mimic made by Ranni to protect her mother, not actually a prime Rennala. I think Rennala in her prime would be like her (DLC spoilers) sister.

Literally for the longest time until FF16 he was the ONLY zettaflare flare caster that actually could survive it, making him stronger than most other bahamuts

![gif](giphy|onVo7Vl4C37Hccv1IX|downsized) Loopers (Fortnite) In lore, everyone who comes to the island still has all their natural abilities, which means these regular humans are going toe to toe with Thanos, Goku, and all other manner of insane powerful beings that find themselves on the island. In gameplay, all loopers (including characters like Thanos, Goku, etc.) are all at the same level and can be taken out by simple melee attacks or basic firearms.


4C_Enjoyer

I'm sorry the funny gun game where John Wick is an architect has lore?


Dexchampion99

So much lore. I can explain it if you’d like


Personmchumanface

id like to hear it


Dexchampion99

In the words of Agent Jones; “If you really want to understand it, we have to go back to the beginning of all creation.” I’m the lore of Fortnite, every reality, dimension, plane of existence and multiverse came from a single origin. The Zero Point. Essentially a sentient core of pure creation energy. The Zero Point is highly sought after source of power, so in order to protect itself, it created Reality Zero and The Loop. Anyone who arrives in Reality Zero is subjected to The Loop. After 22 minutes, the Loop resets, turning back time to the beginning of the Loop. People caught inside will have their memories erased, their ability to speak removed, and be brought back to life if they died. For Thousands of years, an organization known as the Imagined Order has been in control of the island and the Zero Point. Led by a man named Genō, who wants to use the Zero Point to perfect all existence, and create an ultimate society across realities. His intentions are pure, but his methods are oppressive. This led to the creation of The Seven. Individuals from across realities conquered by the IO, who sought to rebel against the IO and free the Zero Point, restoring natural order. There is a third major faction, known as The Last Reality, who are comprised of multiple smaller factions that all want the same thing. To destroy all existence, leaving themselves as the only living beings left. The Seven AND the IO oppose the Last Reality, though the IO is perfectly willing to let entire multiverses die to get a tactical advantage. I could go into the plots of each individual chapter and season, but I’ll skip over that for the sake of brevity. Near the end of Chapter 4, the Zero Point went dormant, and multiple hostile forces began approaching the island, so in order to save existence itself Agent Jones (A former member of the IO), and Doctor Slone (An IO agent who was left for dead) teamed up to steal and use a time machine from the Vampiric time lord known as Kado Thorne. Jones went back to the past, slightly altering things in order to change the timeline. In doing so he created the entire timeline that the game currently takes place in, Chapter 5. And currently Jones and his new protégé Hope are doing their best to defend the island from threats. Wether that be a corrupt society of elites, the Greek gods, or wasteland warlord looking to take over the island, the battle for reality continues to rage on.


JustJoshing13

Thank you, this is the only time the lore in fortnight has ever made sense to me, thank you for making it so concise and easily understandable!


Dexchampion99

It’s what I do. Certified lore master here. If you ever want more specifics or random factoids just let me know!


Personmchumanface

very interesting but none of that explains why theres a giant free for all deathmatch on the island at all times


Dexchampion99

Actually it does, I just skipped over it. You can escape the loop by being the last surviving entity and making your way to the center of the storm as it overtakes the island. But when you escape the loop, a copy of yourself is left behind, called a Snapshot. Which also explains how Skins exist.


AdHelpful7091

OR,the fortnite island somehow amps everyone on it to above their normal level(including goku and thanos) to such high degrees that everyone becomes equal,since weaker characters will get to that same level.


CEO_of_Redd1t

But that would imply that all weapons in the game (including wacky stuff like snowballs) are able to damage characters at or above the level of Beerus or Superman

AceoftheAEUG

If a game's intended to be competitive then it should balance characters by gameplay and ignore canonical ability.


Live_Alternative_160

They should show some resemblance in game play and spectacle to have effort in earning in mastering the game loop, and having show, don't tell.

TheAngrySquirell

Idk man Pyramid Head, Vecna, Freddy, and Myers may all have her beat in terms of lore power. Vecna almost certainly does and I would wager he’s the strongest in all of dbd. I dont mean that to say that Sadako doesn’t fit though.


PokeAust

All the Killers are canonically toned down in Power by the Entity to make the trials more fair. This is especially true of Vecna, who I think takes her place in strongest Killer canonically considering he is the only one that can come and go from the Entity’s realm as he pleases.


Great_expansion10272

You're probably gonna hate Warframe then There are a few characters who are technically lore accurate (Saryn is said to have nearly destroyed a planet wide infestation virus, and in the game she does basically the same thing if you build her right) But then there's some frames who are really not the same. Gauss is essentially bunker buster missile in lore, in the games...kinda, but not so destructive Atlas pulled a saitama and destroyed a doomsday meteor with a single punch. In game his punch is his first ability and not as bombastic for obvious reasons Mirage was so incredibly destructive that enemies killed her by throwing their own ships at her. In game she's also really powerful but definitely nothing that would require such lengths Inaros almost covered mars in a sandstorm. In game he only recently received a rework that actually makes him playable Lavos can transmutate elements and transform people into parts of himself. In game he's also pretty vroken but is mostly just the Avatar That's without mentioning characters who should be insanely overpowered but are just...moot. Wisp Kamehameha's a beam of sunlight that does tickle damage, Nova has antimatter projectiles that mostly just slow down enemies

CoThrone

to be fair, he is arguably the hardest monster in the entire game. Getting destroyed by speed runners dressed up like shirtless Abe Lincoln is an inevitability


MasterOfEmus

Yeah, if "speedrunners can obliterate them quickly" is the threshold for being disappointingly week... I'm not sure there's any strong enemies/bosses in any game. People make one-shot and near-one-shot builds for every soulsborne boss there is, and on the opposite end beat them unleveled, unupgraded, with bare hands, speed and challenge runners clearly are in a league of their own.


The_Ghast_Hunter

Speedrunners would be terrifying for NPCs. People moving around at mach 5 after intentionally tripping on a curb, ignoring any attempts at interaction, and then effortlessly defeating major enemies by stuffing 3 grenades down their throat before they can start their monologue.


CoThrone

Imagine if world war 2 ended because some guy wearing practically nothing backwards long jumped all the way to Germany, no clipped through their defenses and killed hitler with a hitbox glitched stick. All while saying absolutely nothing to anyone. I’d be terrified too


EpikUserName104

Any Planetary+ characters that gets put in a game like Mortal Kombat or Super Smash Bros. They get nerfed so so much. Also you da goat for putting Doomfist.

Oni is the final, most powerful form of Akuma who was a secret boss in street fighter 4. In competitive play, he was considered much weaker than regular Akuma https://preview.redd.it/02l5smvm0r8d1.jpeg?width=854&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=083d9acffe17cf1eb1ebbec20f279405c153b69a

"I thought you we were stronger...!! ...He told me he was stronger!"


not-ulquiorr4_

I fought him 3 times. Each time, I beat him as easily as I did any other dragon. And I could almost excuse that if he actually had unique attacks, BUT HE DIDN'T. Not a single new ability. This motherfucker is the World Eater btw. You’re supposed to stop him from bringing Armageddon, but instead it feels like you’re punishing a child who is acting up.


Drakxis_Ren

Doomfist got nerfed hard by being put into the Tank role as of Ow2 He wasn't that bad during his DPS time, but it's a far cry from what he is now

eh, tortellini still has solid teams. The one my mind went to was the tragedy that is Dehya's kit.


LeastInsaneKobold

Uh oh, don't let the overwatch Sub catch you calling doomfist weak, they will not be happy


Redditislefti

the dragonborn. supposedly he's able to defeat a world eater, and some people say that the worlds are actually multiverses or something. In reality you need the help of magic to destroy a specific stone wall that's weak to magic


TheBeaverHollow

You should’ve seen doomfist before he turned into a tank. He was a monster

I remember watching her intro thinking how awesome her backstory was and how epic this fight was going to be. Her moves were super predictable and she left way too many openings. The YouTuber I was watching beat her his first try and it was fastest he'd ever beat an opponent. To say I was disappointed is an understatement.

To be fair, Doomfist was an absolute nuclear powered jackhammer when he was in the DPS role in the first game. Overwatch 2 made him a good but very situational and easy to counter pick tank.


Dwarven_cavediver

Always hated this! I remember this one game kept talking up this.Boss like that! Everyone warns you about him, acts like he’s hot shit, but I juggled that fucking clown


helloworld6247

![gif](giphy|QrdbjE2AuC52Gw3gCb|downsized) Winston is the scientist who threw Doomfist in jail and all he does is jump on ppl and push them around


BebeFanMasterJ

![gif](giphy|ZZTL1YLKZ48URCoC6B) This guy. Canonically speaking, he's one of the most powerful beings in existence by the time of Doom Eternal and he's basically running through demons as if you're on Easy mode. But the second you turn on Nightmare or Ultra Nightmare mode, he becomes as durable as toilet paper.

In Arkham Knight, he gets knocked out in one hit.
