Gill from SF3 and Justice from Guilty Gear would fall under the same category, but they were never even considered valid to play, whereas akuma was banned after it became very clear every tournament would boil down to akuma vs akuma if he was allowed.
Dumbest balanced character ever, but in all fairness I don't think they were thinking of balanced when they created him at all.
Act of thinking logically cannot possibly be natural to the human mind. If it were, then mathematics would be everybody's easiest course at school and our species would not have taken several millennia to figure out the scientific method -NDT

plus, this guy is the merging of two of the stronger characters of the game.
firzen is hax.
Oh my god, i had forgotten COMPLETELY about this game. Thanks, now im going to download it
Anyone who have played the Nintendo DS game 'Ys Strategy' will know how fucking imba the Romun's are. They can spawn soldiers early game and like many other factions they can use an attack spell that will one hit pretty much all units within a certain area and ravage buildings.
Great game though, sad that it had such a damn slow tempo.

The game really, REALLY couldn't handle his aerial fireball. It just wasn't meant to be in the game, I have no idea what they were thinking. The funny thing about Akuma is that although the aerial fireball was the most imbalanced thing about him by far, even after the improved and rebalanced HD version came out he was still banned. Even though they nerfed his fireball and other stuff as well, he still had the best setups and strings in the game and was still impossible to beat. The akuma in the actual SF II is the most imbalanced fighting game character I can think of.
How's that overpowered? It wasn't even worth getting.
Hmm no one seriously has played Sengoku Rance? This forum is waaay too decent.
You obviously didn't understand the power within then.
You get exp for it, right? I never got it so I don't know. If you don't get exp it might be okay. Getting exp is really bad in the game. I just carded every enemy possible.
EDIT: Btw, Magus is super overpowered in lowest-level-run in Chrono Trigger. Almost impossible without super fast menu micro and awesome knowledge(So I managed to beat him with the lowest possible levels at that point! ;D)
