8 Powerful Video Game Enemies That Became Weak Playable Characters

While the Dead Or Alive franchise might be known for....other....things, there is a tonne of meat on this franchise that isn't contained to sweaters, as of course at its heart this is a fighting game that attacks with the ferocity of a franchise looking to get out of the shadows of Mortal Kombat, Tekken and Street Fighter.

And of course, this means that from time to time Dead Or Alive dips its hand into the Fromage vats and pulls out an uber cheesy boss battle which in Dead Or Alive 4 and 5 came in the form of Alpha 152. Thanks to a ridiculous ability to teleport and a grab move that removes over a third of your health in one go, Alpha 152 became an utter bane of the fanbase.

However, things got somehow even worse when players unlocked 152 for themselves because, if we're being honest, she absolutely sucked.

Gone was the insane damage output and gone were her teleportation powers in DOA5, meaning that what you had was a lazily designed character without any of the redeeming features fans were asking for.

In fact, in tier rankings, she's often listed as being one of the worst characters in the game, making her fall from grace feel like a plummet off of a mountain.
