Line 7:
* [[Game Breaker]]: Uranus.
** To go into detail, Uranus has most of the traits associated with [[Final Boss]] Uriko from the first game--the [[Shock and Awe|lightning powers]], [[Teleport Spam]], etc. From the beginning, she outclasses her foes, but upon accessing her Chimera form, [[Lightning Bruiser|her strength increases exponentially without losing speed]]. She can also immediately switch between her human and beast forms. Her Hyper Beast mode, on the other hand, allows her to retain her human shape, but gives her the moveset of her beast form. For these reasons, it's no wonder that Uranus is usually banned from competitive and [[Tournament Play]].
** Ryoho, being an outright [[SNK Boss]], is no better. For one, [[Dual Boss|you fight him alongside Mana]] (who is in her [[Kitsune|Ninetails]] form). Mana usually serves as a distraction, allowing Ryoho to followup with devastating blows, the worst of which is a stance which unleashes a powerful punch [[Charged Attack|the longer he holds it]]. Should he fall, Mana sacrifices her health to recharge his, taking her out of the battle, but giving Ryoho a second wind. His Beast Form, the Dragon, is the largest of all the fighters, with tremendous range, an [[One-Hit Kill|OHKO]] [[Playing Withwith Fire|fire]] [[Breath Weapon]] attack, and [[Implacable Man|resistance to flinching]]. Like Uranus, he stays as a human in Hyper Beast Mode, and gains the fireball projectiles of his beast form.
** Most of the new characters in ''4'' are arguably this. Nagi has an attack you can easily spam that requires little to no combo to do, making it very easy to simply tap a single button to skewer pretty much anyone and everyone in Spurious form. Among flying characters, Reiji is a bit broken in that he's capable of being airborne a lot more often and easily when compared to other characters, such as Cronos who can only perform a move or so in flight and is immediately brought to the ground afterward (or when either about to revert or by the player's whim otherwise) in Phoenix form, or Jenny whose majority of airborne moves are cosmetically airborne since she's still on ground-level to hit (with an exception or so).
* [[It's Easy, So It Sucks]]: Not many people like the [[Button Mashing|move-practicing aspect]] of the games.
Line 22:
** Arguably anything in ''4'', from the cutscenes, new characters, crap A.I., ease of button mashing (going from it being pretty much impossible in ''2'', to being a way to get an automatic combo in ''4''), and the change to the series' image. Not to mention the negation of a good deal of the [[Character Development]]...
* [[They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot]]: Say what you want about the plot ripping off of ''[[X-Men]]'' and ''[[Resident Evil]]'', but it was handed pretty well. Then came ''4'', which dropped the illegal Zoanthrope experimentation and strained human-Zoanthrope relations for... [[It's a Long Story|some crap pertaining to the earth]].
* [[Tier -Induced Scrappy]]: Greg the gorilla in the first game, who was hated by just about everyone who played it. [[This Looks Like a Job For Aquaman|On the other hand]], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGCK9gU7u_Q his throw proved to be decidedly useful against the final boss...]
* [[Toy Ship]]: Bakuryu/Uriko, although they're a bit older than most examples (both are 16 as of ''4'').
* [[They Copied It, So It Sucks]]: A lot of people like to mock the storyline to being a ripoff of ''[[X-Men]]''.
