Unintentionally Broken Characters in Video Games

Today, I'm looking at characters in video games that were unknowingly made extremely powerful, to the point where it makes you wonder how the developers didn't notice the first time around. We're going on a power trip, boys. Enjoy!

...You listed Oddjob as "unintentional" despite the fact that he was entirely intentional. The devs went on-record in very early interviews saying that "Using Oddjob is cheating, he's there so players who suck can play and still have a chance."
-
Mario party is absolutely a fighting game. Just not the kind that you're thinking of
-
Shrek on the gameboy is the way the movie was intended to be watched
-
Lets be real Plumber Mario also has a 6 figure salary
-
For a long time, Pichu is has not been considered the worst character in melee. Kirby and Bowser are far worse, most of kirby's throws can be escaped from merely be wiggling the control stick (which seems more unintentionally broken).

I remember when I tried playing fallout 4 I suck at FPSs so combat was a pain for me, and when I found Codsworth I thought sweet I found my quirky robot this is fun. It didn't even click that he had a chainsaw so when another combat started and he charged in revving up the blade I just stood there doing nothing but watching my butler mow down a mob like it was nothing
-
There was a female character that was the same height as Oddjob. She was 1 of the extra characters that had a blank picture
-
I don't think I've ever heard anthrax referred to as simply "a bacterial infection" before.
-
It's also worth mentioning Boone from Fallout New Vegas That dude can literally wipe out Legion Assassins early in the game like it's nothing
-
Oddjob is overpowered because every female is Lady Dimetrescu to him
-
The phenomenon of Fighting Game DLC characters being INTENTIONALLY busted out the ass for like 3 - 4 months until patched (and the next busted character is released to replace them) is about as subtle as a brick to the head.

Where my Ned Flanders from Simpson's Wrestling. Homing projectiles that circle the map for like 20 seconds and you can have like 8 up at once. Or his lightning spell which calls in lightning strikes (which stun and deal high damage) every 3 seconds for 30 seconds, and you can have like 4 of them up at once.
-
There's another advantage that Oddjob has that wasn't mentioned: regardless of the mode, Oddjob always has a one hit kill weapon in the form of his hat.

I’ll give them this, MJs missions are more fun than the first game. But her being so insanely better than Spider-Man when dealing with the hunters is ridiculous. And she just eats tranq darts, while I’m pretty sure Miles gets hit by the same kind of dart and passes out. Like what lmfao

He has not played Guilty Gear, he has no idea how bad things can really be.
-
5:47 Holy shit, it's Anthrax.
-
"Despite this, however, whenever a quality video game based on the Shrek universe is released, it usually ends up exceeding expectations by at least a fairly moderate margin." Brother, this needs an editing pass god damn.

getting ptsd watching this video. i feel like i'm watching one of those old PBG ranking videos
-
1:00 Marth wasn’t in smash 64, so roy wasn’t a clone of a previous character. He was a clone of a character from the same game
-
Mary Jane was intentional, direct line from one of the people running the game was: "We need to make Mary Jane a capable Hero, and if She's overpowered? Ehh, I don't really care... People wanted us to cut down or remove the Mary Jane segments, but She's necessary for the story we want to tell."
