Lore Wise, Strongest Characters?

[Ravioli]

So this isn't a discussion on who is the "most OP" or some crap. It's just a discussion on using the lore, who is the strongest fighter. In the future, Peacock and Painwheel will be the strongest since they are built to be the strongest, they just don't have enough experience. THey also have two parasites giving them an edge over almost anyone. Otherwise, I'm pretty Eliza takes the cake being a ♥♥♥♥ ton older than everyone. Samson and Leviathan are crazy strong, but both of them chose not to take over their hosts so they can't unleash their full power. Band is a veteran as well, and fought hte old Skullgirl.


Putting this in inverse, the weakest character is Beowulf c: Not even kidding, his living Gigan Arm is probably his only saving grace. Otherwise he is a regular dude who isn't in his prime anymore. At least Valentine, Parasoul and Cerebella have stronger weapons and constant training.

So thoughts?

Well, how about Aeon, a character they wanted to include in the game but couldn't due to OPness, she is also a god, so theres that... but yeah, Aeon and Venus would be your go to and it may be a bit of a personal bias but I think Taleisan has gotta count for something here, I mean, a dude who can turn people into instruments at a touch, it's gotta work. And along that same vein, Ileum, so squishy and lovable in that... mass...

Not true. Seeing as how they are the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game developers they have control over "opness". They weren't incuded in the game because they didn't have money please consider your facts. I would rather keep to the characters that ARE in the game, but in universe the three deities are very powerful. I wouldn't say the MOST powerful because they aren't actually goddesses just monsters mascarading as goddesses. But yeah, time control and space manipulation are pretty strong and they can give the whole cast a run for their money.

'pologies, I should have worded it better, to my knowledge she was taken out of the possible "fundable" cast due to the nature of her abilities.

Also not true, she just didn't win the contest.

Of the currently playable cast, probably Eliza and Peacock, with Eliza comming out ahead by a considerable margin.

[WickedRequiem]

Definitely Eliza, considering what she is.
Having that said, Double probably should be near the top spot.

[responsible bedtime]

Lamia.

Playable? Eliza.

I could have sworn I read somewhere that gameplay balancing for Aeon was speculated to be nigh impossible, ah well, whatever, maybe I'm just insane... I would still bet on Aeon and/or Venus though (lore wise anyway, otherwise, Painwheel all the way)...

Why though? =/ It's a V I D E O G A M E. Dragon Ball fanboys say "It's impossible to put Goku in a game because he'd be broken" except creators can do whatever the hell they want. Anything can be ballanced in a video game. If one of Aeon's abilities is too strong, they just remove it or change it, and keept her over all theme. Same character, but weaker.

I'd vote Double and Eliza. I'd say Double is easily the strongest of the playble cast seeing what she was capable of in some of the cutscenes. She's being restrained for some reason, though, I get the impression Aeon's not letting her use her full power all the time.

Eliza isn't too far behind, though admittedly I haven't gone through her story personally. I just know she's basically some kind of undead demi-god. Out of all the cast, I'd say her powers actually translate into gameplay the best.

Behind that, basically any of the frankenstein characters. Peacock, Big Band and Painwheel. Painwheel might actually be virtually indestructable, seeing how much damage she does to her own body during a fight. She's gotta have some kind of regeneration abilities to do some of the stuff she does, and I seem to remember most of the characters she fights fail to do more than knock her out for a while.

I'd say Fukua is in the same tier as those characters, too, even if she's non canon. Just because she's got the combined power of two warrior's souls, unlike the other parasite characters.

The parasite characters probably come here. Not much needs to be said about them, basically a random girl and an undead opera singer with a powerful parasite attached. I'd say Squiggly is likely a good bit more powerful than Filia based on apparent experience and the fact she actually holds herself in a fight like she has half a clue what she's doing. Samson just kinda flings Filia around.

I'm a bit blurry about where everyone else fits. Especially Beowulf. Beowulf seems a lot like Cody in SF4 in the sense that he's a hell of a lot more powerful than he rightfully should be, and not even he really understands his own strength. I don't know enough about Robofortune, but I assume she's pretty powerful. I think Parasoul is the weakest in terms of raw power, but is very skilled and has good resources and people available to her.

Am I missing something? Ss nobody thinking about the other characters (those not in game) for a reason, clearly Ileum would appear to be the most "indestructable" in that sense...

Well the whole "Fukua has two warrior's" souls thing, Painwheel and Peacock have TWO parasites. Big Band has more experience than those two, but he will never be as powerful as them given the same ammount of experience. Painwheel also has skullgirls blood in her, making her extra powerful.

For the thousandth time. The "reason" they aren't in the game is because they weren't popular. The characters were voted for.

That was kinda my point for listing Fukua with them.

That said, I think Big Band is more powerful than you give him credit for. I'm not entirely sure -how- he's capable of it, but that body of his seems to bend reality in the same way Peacock does.

I feel it's kinda hard to judge a lot of the characters that aren't in the game because we haven't really seen them in action. I thought Beowulf was going to be weaker canon wise than he turned out to be, for instance.

I wasn't asking why they aren't in the game, just why people seem to be ignoring them in this discussion. They all have speculated playstyles on top of descriptions so it's not like we don't have arough idea of what they do...
