Line 66:
* ''[[Star Ocean: Till the End of Time]]'' had Adray Lasbard and Mirage Koas - again, [[Magikarp Power|both powerful characters]] who were nonetheless clearly identifiable as bonus characters added to the original release; they came so late and at such a low level they were a lot of trouble to bother leveling up. This was enhanced by the fact that both of them were slightly stat-fiddled versions of previously existing characters (Sophia and Cliff, respectively) who were just as good or better and were gotten early in the game.
* Hyena in ''[[King of Fighters]] Maximum Impact 2'' moves erratically and has several... odd attacks. Most notably, his super move "The Century's Most Fearsome Acting!" has him walk at the opponent, fake being KO'd if hit... and then spring back up with a powerful kick. But if they throw him, which is quite likely given his pace, he really ''gets'' KO'd...
* ''[[Magic: The Gathering]]'' is full of cards that seem underpowered or even useless, such as [https://web.archive.org/web/20080507080109/http://ww2.wizards.com/gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?&id=88817 One With Nothing] and [https://web.archive.org/web/20080624035205/http://ww2.wizards.com/gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?id=113512 Norin the Wary], that exist solely for [[Player Archetypes]] who like to try and make a workable deck out of such cards.
* In a similar vein, ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! (Tabletop Game)]]'' has an amazing number of cards that have no conceivable use, or that simply don't do their job well. Witness Thousand-Eyes Idol, a monster with the lowest stats possible (0 attack and 0 defense) and no effect. Then again, some of these cards eventually become [[Lethal Joke Character]]s...to wit, Thousand-Eyes Idol. Fuse him with Relinquished, and you get the Thousand-Eyes Restrict, which FREEZES EVERY MONSTER ON THE FIELD, and steals whichever of your opponent's monsters you want to copy its stats. Granted, most people use other methods to get Thousand-Eyes Restrict out (usually Instant Fusion) rather than intentionally putting a monster in the deck that can't do anything on its own.
** Shapesnatch due to his "horrible power". Ironically it is [[Lethal Joke Character|amongst the best when it come into low=stat normal monsters]]
