This is a fun yet informative thread, pretty sure half of TYM has played other games and had to deal some real mean stuff in fighting games like ST Akuma who has a lot of notoriety or T4 Jin considered to be a tier of his own during the T4 days, some of these chars were coded with some really dumb moves or a combination of such tools which makes some characters extremely broken. Find out there by every members hand the most broken characters to ever exist.
Personally, i dunno about ST Akuma, but i know he is pretty famous so i'm sure someone will fill us in on this one.
KOF 96
Iori Yagami
If you played KOF 96, pretty sure you learned about how stupid broken Iori was, a 3f DP move with capable of absorbing multiple hits and win trade blows 99% of the time, Iori shoryuken was so good that was basically impossible to punish if blocked or whiffed, besides he had some really good zoning tools as well, SNK saw how stupid strong he was in KOF96 that from 97 ownwards they added some pushback to his DP and more recovery on block so he can't spam DPs one after another.

Fuckin Guille
Yeah, once upon a time in capcom, Daigo saw a Guille with no charging to perform sonic booms, blowing everyone up from fire ball into crouching heavy that was just as safe and he had to practice whiff punish on a turbo version of the game in order to get that frame, he got the name "fuckin Guille" back in the japanese arcade days, makes you wonder how much of a fucboi "Guiller" was lol.
MK Gold
Sektor
Just ask Shock
Mahvel "Vanilla version"
Albert Wesker
Wesker made a name for himself with his Samurai Edge hand gun that used to give him some ridiculous infinities off one single shot with his ex factor on, fun times, sadly he got heavily nerfed in the UMV3 update.
Tekken 4
Jin Kazama
This character had a laser cannon, laser scrapper and a laser annihilator, the last one was a holdable move with unblockable proprieties and cancelable on reaction, the problem is that this laser annihilator move could be just framed to perform a unblockable laser scrapper and make any other character in the game pray for the player in control of him.
World heroes perfect
Hattori Hanzo
I didn't knew of this one until later on, for a game i used to think is fun, discovering how dumb Hanzo is made me stop playing the game, he could cancel ANITHING with a taunt, and then taunt cancel with a dash, this mechanic would make him land multiple his until the opponent gets dizzy and then takes him out of the dizziness with another combo making him dizzy again.
MK Trilogy
MK2 Kung Lao AKA Kung Broken
Imagine a KL with the best run speed in the game although he doesn't run, he walks faster, boss damage and really good normals, no one had a chance. a 24% damage combo with JK~DK, and often 74% on one BnB
Breakers and Breakers revenge
Sho
For a game that got an update visco games forgot to patch it, the only reason he is even allowed to play is because while broken he is very nice appealing, Sho has a kick which on block leaves him do a small jump behind you which it can be punish, the problem is, sho can cancel any of his air animations with a super move, so when you think its your turn to retaliate you might want to reconsider, because that super bruh.
Samurai Shodown II
Ukyo Tachibana
Easely the most broken character in the game, has a 3f mid with 2 active frames and nearly no recovery time, Ukyo could spam mids and win every possible trade or swords in the game just by walking forward, Ukyo sword is so fast even air bone that negates jumps, and he has a projectile good enough to zone ppl with it.
Ninja Master's Hao Ninpo-cho
Ranmaru Mori
M2dave would surely love this character, she has a very big disjointed hitbox sword which will anti-airs anyone who jumps over her zoning game, she is a zoning master in many ways, she also has a weaponless stance where she has a dp motion move and use her clothes to slash in anyone much closer where the sword cannot hit, has a supper that trains life, a projectile desperaction move that wins trades with projectiles, has a command grab to anyone blocking her pressure game and she can do infinites.
Tekken 6

Street Fighter 4
Cammy
Hahaha, you think this is a game? Imagine a Cammy that could do cannon spikes with no air restriction just like the ones she does when using meter, now imagine she jumping you to apply pressure and the easiest stun in the game.
MK9
Kuh Bawl
needs explanation?
Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 3
Masked Man
This character has the best justu in the game, the move itself is a substition techinique which is an universal mechanic that everyone uses at the cost of a kawarimi meter to escape combos, however, the jutsu of this chaacter (Kanade moyi) has invincibility frames while attacking, so he gets to phase right through you with explosive tags dealing enough damage while leaving his kawarimi meter intact
Budokai Tenkaichi 3
A-17
While every other character even sayans had to fight to build Ki, on a game so competitive where the first one to build Ki in front of the opponent has 98% chances of getting Killed, the androids are built on a mechanic different from the rest, they build ki on their own even when idling, besides A-17 has some stupid moves which requires an impecable time to desappear in between them, such has is bodyblow move, he is also damn broken in Raging Blast 2.
Pretty sure there is definitely more, feel free to add anyone that is not on this list yet.
Also i would like to know about ST Akuma, heard some really nasty things from him. Akuma Matata bruh!
