Line 91:
** Rockets. So god-awful popular apparently they got their own game mode.
** Most weapon mod full conversions like Arkon tend to fall into this trap. Heck, in Arkon specifically, the recharging thermal blasters you start with are obscene. Only the long recharge time keeps them from being out all the time. Similarly, the sniper version, which replaces the lightning gun...insane instant damage as long as the reticle is on the opposing player/vehicle. Makes mincemeat of flying vehicles and anything that's not a tank. Now imagine how this plays out in normal vehicle-less deathmatch.
* Want to play ''[[
** Oh, you can? Well, [[Game Breaker|Nu]] has something to say about that.
*** Well I'll be, you managed to beat that Nu player. Have some [[Bee-Bee Gun|Arakune]] action! BEEEEEES
Line 98:
*** Or alternatively they just don't give a shit, because Bang is hilarious and the other characters aren't quite so entertainingly silly to play.
* This trope is the reason that the OU tier exists in ''[[Pokémon]]'' competitive gaming. The Pokemon competitive community seems to actually be relatively civil about this, organizing the [[Character Tiers]] to give every Pokemon a fair shot at some level or another.
** A more specific in-game example is the "entry hazard" (does damage to enemies' entering the battlefield) Stealth Rock, especially when compared to the other two, Toxic Spikes and Spikes.
** ''Black and White'' indirectly nerfed Stealth Rock by giving it only to a small number of Rock and Steel-types (most of which were pretty slow).
*** More so, the Technical Machine (TM) for Stealth Rock can't be imported from older games.
Line 108:
* ''[[Guilty Gear]]'' players gravitate towards Sol Badguy or Ky Kiske.
* Online ''[[Reset Generation]]'' opponents typically consist of Plumber and Cyborg - especially the latter, for which there are two steps to easy victory: 1. Grab energy drink to charge Rocket Jump. 2. Grab enemy princess and Rocket Jump to the nearest teleporter or self-colored tile.
* In ''[[
* ''[[Final Fantasy VI]]'', because you can teach any character any spell. So even though you have 14 different characters, each with differing stat growths and unique special abilities, you'll almost always see people who assume that the only real way to play the game is to teach everyone [[Infinity+1 Sword|Ultima]] and win the game with nothing but that.
** This shows up in ''[[Final Fantasy XII]]''. Because it's so damn ''easy'' to teach every character every spell and skill in the game thanks to the License Grid, many players have a party with identical skill-sets and equipment.
Line 165:
* The randomised [[Tech Tree]] of ''[[Sword of the Stars]]'' was implemented for the purpose of preventing this. You may have a winning design and loadout in mind, but if the [[Random Number God]] doesn't like you, you'll just have to throw your best-laid plans out and work with what's available.
** There is a tiny chance of you getting a "missing" technology from a wreck of an enemy ship, provided you are the winner and you have scavenger ships in your fleet. Even then, you have to run a special project to even determine what you'll get from the wreckage.
* The most recent ''[[Mortal Kombat]]'' game features [[God of War|Kratos]] as a guest character. [https://web.archive.org/web/20110903182753/http://fanboys-online.com/index.php?comic=351 The appeal is perhaps a bit too much.]
* [[Spiral Knights]] players can be expected to have some or all of the following items if they have the money for them; Vog Cub, Divine Avenger, Gran Faust, Polaris/Biohazard, Grey Owlite Shield, and whatever krogmo trinkets boost your prefered weapon types.
** Not to mention the insane overuse of the Wolver armour set...
