Nothing is ever going to trump playing as Asura.

I love Pokken!
Not if it was Evil Cole from Infamous 2.

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
The Crysis series is the only series where you have a super suit/are a super soldier that made me feel like I was actually a cut above all the mooks I was fighting. So that comes to mind immediately.
The Level 3 monster from Evolve is pretty powerful.

He transcends his own medium and everyone on the planet knows who he is. He can do anything, be anything. Truley a frightening amount of power
A meta perspective....interesting....And I don't think I can think of another videogame character who is more well known than Mario either, so...maybe, yeah.

I would love to see that.
It would obviously end with Asura's win, but only after Bayonetta whoops his ass a couple dozen times, until he gets angry enough to overpower her.

He should have been in UMVC but all would be forgiven if he popped up in SFV. I would so lose my shit. He is begging to be put in a fighting game. Would be cool as shit if Oni jumped out to fight you but if you completed some task leading up to him (all perfects) Asura just ran out and dropped him and attacked you. So much potential.... starts round as base Asura..... gets to a quarter health and transforms to Berserker Asura..... uses 3 meters and turns into god mode. ...... all to this song.

Narratively speaking: Joel and Ellie
In terms of brute strength and leaving everyone who stand up against him powerless: Kratos
I am going to be different yet accurate and say Vergil from DmC.
Dante in DmC is already absurdly powerful but Vergil takes it to a whole new level of OPness. Vergil in DmC is more powerful than Vergil in DMC3 as well.
There are 3 main reasons why I feel Vergil in DmC is over powered as hell:
*Ability to cancel any action into his Trick dodge. This is not possible for Dante in any DMC game and is only really possible in a game like Bayonetta (and that with a specific limitation where there's a CD after dodging a few times in a row). Vergil has no such restriction.
*His Summoned Sword attack is 0 frame. That means that he can do it while doing other actions completely uninterrupted. Vergil in DMC3 had this also.
*Vergil Devil Bringer equivalents are also 0 frame. He can pull enemies or Teleport himself to enemies without interrupting his actions. He can be attacking the air and then during the slashes he can pull an enemy into the slashes as he feels.
*Vergil in DmC has a ton of really powerful charged attackes that do massive damage, have great AOE range and can juggle heavy enemies.
*Vergil has his DT gauge give access to both Spiral Swords (a very powerful tool) and Doppelganger, a highly complex toolset that allows him to essentially play with two copies of himself. The copy mimics your action but you can change its delay and change its stances in DmC DE now.
*Vergil can transfer control from himself to his Doppelganger using a charge partition trick (very advance trick). This allowz the player to control the Doppelganger clone while Vergil himself is in a charged state for Judgment Cut/Perfect Slice. Being able to play as an invincible character for a short time is no joke.
*Super Vergil is an absolute monster.
I honestly believe that Vergil's potential as a character has not been tapped yet and will not be tapped until DmC DE is released. To show that I am not kidding... a small sample of his play:
More goodness here.

Mechanically Bayonetta and DMC4 Dante are probably damn near impossible to beat, there's just so much shit they can do.
I started looking up Asura and yeah, narratively I can't think of anyone stronger at the moment(some RPG protag might have more broken shit but I can't recall), this guy is a super casual planet and star buster(like he seriously blows through them like a bunch of pebbles)

dude can punch with enough force to break a planet in half, and can inhale any object/creature of any size and steal their abilities.
kratos? ha! Kirby would destroy him in seconds.
Kirby is weird because you never really see these feats of strength. Besides that, I'd still say Asura would win. Even if you kill him, he simply has to climb out of hell (...and this means a delay of no more than
hours to him by endgame
And the finale of Asuras wrath is the most absurd scale fights in all of video games, so he has that going for him.

To add to this with a specific example, ever since Morrowind most Elder Scrolls main characters can be said to be masters of CHIM. Which means in-universe, they acknowledge and understand that they live in a dreamworld and can manipulate it at will. Such as with console commands and mods.
Though it's kind of cheating to really count that ability, even if it's alluded to in-universe. Not to mention boring. =P
Most powerful player character can be interpreted in multiple ways. Why has noone mentioned MMO player characters? Asura? Pfft.
Back in the day when I was playing WoW me and my crew went and defeated orcs, dragons, Qiraji, giants, spirits, big bad wolves, spiders, undead, demon lords, old gods, trolls, Illidan and the Lich King. Only to name a few, of course, as the list would become too long if I listed all of our achievements.
With a few healers and some good dps we could take on Asura as well for the lulz.

In regards to the dodging, Jeanne doesn't evne carry that penalty. I wonder of Jeanne could be considered more powerful, since her wicked weaves are stronger and she can dodge indefinitely. Her witch time activation is tricker, but on NSIC there is no witch time anyway, so...
I want to see the sample play you seem to have forgotten to add in though. Do you think Vergil will be imbalanced against his enemies, or will they roid them up appropriately?
It's funny though. In the story, he's explicitely said to be weaker than dante. Usually, it's the other way around.

the last word I think of when it comes to mario games is "frightening"
unless you consider the "boo" enemies frightening. well they are ghosts, after all. makes me wonder who the "boo" guys came from. members of the mushroom kingdom who died at the hands of Bowser? doomed to haunt the annals of the Mushroom Kingdom for all eternity.
that's as close as the mario games come to "frightening"

From a gameplay standpoint, Bayonetta for obvious reasons. I do have to give an honorable mention to Wonderful 101. By the end,
the game is on a cosmic level and every Wonderful One is inside their own commandeered giant mech. The same giant mechs you fought throughout the game on a ground levelx100 + Platinum Robo. The perspective and gameplay remains the same. Its a really nice use of scale to demonstrate how much more powerful the team gets, also dat final QTE....

Don't forget that Kirby can murder masses just through the use of his voice.

Yes, Samus. Towards the end of your average Metroid, you can destroy just about anything by merely jumping at it. It is a process of powering up, but Samus is a thing of terror once she gets going.

Asura is Deus Ex Machina-incarnate. He's the only character I've ever seen in any videogame that is completely, utterly unbeatable. It's impossible. But I guess that's what makes him so cool.

a fully leveled up agent in Crackdown.
I posted the video afterwards.
Vergil is insanely over powered (and thus imbalanced) for the enemies he is up against, more so than even Vergil in DMC3.
But the over poweredness of Vergil in DmC actually makes him a fun character to play around with. Even within his OPness and limited toolset there is a lot to explore.
The added difficulty modifiers of Vergil and the additional tweaking of his toolset would make it more fruitful to explore his options in the Definitive edition.
Also it's not that Vergil can cancel anything into dodges but it's that he also has a bunch of 0 frame moves and abilities. Think of it like Nero from DMC4 and that there's a specific animation for pulling in enemies... not the case with DmC Vergil he pulls enemies in MID combo as his ability to pull in enemy is 0 frame. .
You see him punching the planet in half during a minigame.
In the last 3ds game he basicaly turns into a black hole and sucks everything even to the point of
breaking the 4th wall with the power of sucking

Dude from Star Wars Force Unleashed II seemed OP as fuk.
I forgot to find out, are there any new story elements that are going to be added to DmC as well? Or is everything just gameplay changes?

I've played the 3DS game, thanks.
Asura and co are already way past the point of being able to destroy an actual planet sized planet (none of these silly kirby scale planets) long before Asura even gets any of his transformations, or the utterly absurd power up he gets towards the endgame, where his body is already far larger than the earth.
The only way anyone can be answering anything other than Asura is because they haven't played Asuras wrath.
Lock him up and throw the key away.
dude can punch with enough force to break a planet in half, and can inhale any object/creature of any size and steal their abilities.
kratos? ha! Kirby would destroy him in seconds.
I won't lie to you: you make a sound argument. Especially with the punching thing. Kirby is OP.
