10 Most Overpowered Multiplayer Attacks EVERYONE Hated

7. Ivy's Snake Sword - Soul Calibur (Series)

Fallout 76 Wastelanders

Soul Calibur's Ivy Valentine is a gaming icon. She has a unique design, a ton of sex appeal, and a literal cutting edge fighting style. On top of that, her whip-sword is one of the most coolest weapons in gaming.

But because of her overpowered Snake Sword, every player hates to fight this buxom beauty. Ivy's chained blade can elongate up to 10ft, allowing her to smack her opponent, even if they're on the other side of the screen. Because it's an instant KO if you knock your rival off the arena, you can win the battle within seconds if you hit them the right way.

Because there are very few projectile attacks in Soul Calibur, the only way to stop Ivy from performing these dirty tactics is to get up close and personal.

Unfortunately, Ivy has a barrage of tactics to keep her enemy at bay. Because she twirls her whole body when she whips out her...um... whip, her rival can never tell which direction it's coming from, so they don't know how to counter. If she performs Fear's Void, her blade will lash at the her combatant from underground. How can you see that coming??

However, Ivy's most annoying attack is Ancient Wheels, where she spins her blade around her in a circle, preventing her opponent from getting near her without getting hacked up. Because she stays low to the ground while performing this move, her foe can't strike at her from a distance.
