This comic is so relatable, it hurts.

COUGH COUGH HULK MARVEL VS CAPCOM COUGH COUGH

I on the other hand am the one to sacrifice everything else to take down that sort of character.

Normally it means I play counter sniper. No short range, mid range is not much better but snipers don't see me coming.

So true
Worse is that it applies to many many games

Made me think of Overwatch.

aka the moment when you realise you are as "cheap" as the rest. Keep them coming!

is this a brigitte reference??

Meta.

For some reason, it reminds me of the time I hated zuchinni, then a friend theached me how to prepare them myself, and then eat them...to find them actually delicious.

...for some reason.

the point is, we can't tell, until we try. Or something. I mean, pichu in ultimate? until I didn't try pichu, I didn't realize why it was good.

Doesn't matter the game the character is obviously metaknight

 

[KingVamp]

I was just playing Paladins then I seen this. Pretty funny.

That said, you can still play a character and still think they are cheap.

I can relate. I used to main Kirby in Smash Bros until I realized that every Kirby in Smash after the original Smash Bros 64 sucks. I was left with a choice, keep playing Kirby (I do like him) or choose some really OP character like Meta Knight and I went with the latter. Not that I usually stick with one character for very long but in Brawl (which is the one I was playing the most at the time) Meta Knight was one of my gotos, partly because he's fun to play but even more so because he has a lot of spammy attacks which annoy my brother to no end and it's funny.

I understand the cartoon, but to me it's all but recognizable. I don't "main" a character in a fighter game. Granted, I rarely play fighters to begin with, but even so I understand that they somewhat rely on a more complicated version of "rock-paper-scissors". Characters aren't necessarily strong (or OP) by themselves, but unless you're playing a game not worth playing, they are strong against a certain character (fast versus slow, ranged versus close range...attributes like that).

So in the end, rather than specializing, I goof off with most or all of the fighters. I often have no time to even come up with the idea that one is considered overpowered, as I've already played (and lost) with it.

So true
Worse is that it applies to many many games

Erm...I hope it doesn't come off as condescending (if so, I'm sorry), but perhaps you should try switching characters more often. I'm not sure what the mindset is among players, but I honestly don't believe that the creators attempted to put one (or more) characters in their games for the purpose of having people not using them.
