* FakeBalance: Although the game tried its hardest to keep the game balanced, there are few matchups that can result in a one sided game. In other words, think of it as every character can be beaten by every character, except one or two.
** The chances of noticing this however, is rare, provided that two balanced human players are playing.
*** Some AI are easier than others, which can cause the illusion that a character is "weak" or "overpowered"

''Broken in the Balance'' is a {{Fighting Game}} that was made by a group called Twrware. It mostly consists of a few {{Street Fighter}} characters, characters from older {{Creator/SNK}} games, and Anime characters. It runs off a modified ''{{VideoGame/MUGEN}}'' engine, with extra features such as Online Play and Stage Zooming. The games characters was edited in such a way that all of them, when they come into battle, are completely balanced, for the most part. (hence the title) It can be found, along with more info on it, at [[http://twrware.wikia.com/wiki/Broken_in_the_Balance BITB TwrWare Page]] . The game is generally good, however the AI, and skilled players, can really be a pain in the rear.

* {{Combo Breaker}}: With lots of combos, there needs to be a combo breaker system. Fortunately, most characters can break a combo by using a bit of their super meter. The few that do not have one however, are a bit at ease, seeing as the game automatically drops "cheap" combos.

* {{Fake Balance}}: Although the game tried its hardest to keep the game balanced, there are few matchups that can result in a one sided game. In other words, think of it as every character can be beaten by every character, except one or two.

* {{Fake Difficulty}}: Although the game is considered "Balanced", most of the characters have relentless skills and tactics that can remind most gamers of Quarter Munchers back in older arcade games.
* {{Finishing Move}}: The latest Nightly (beta) build of the game features finishing moves that have to be preformed right when the opponent is KO'ed. No, they are not gruesome fatalities either.
* {{Hitbox Dissonance}}: '''ANY''' character in the game that uses swords.

* {{Idle Animation}}: Some characters when standing still will sometimes preform a automatic taunt or say something.
* {{Immune to Flinching}}: Improperly made patches for characters can cause characters to simply "walk forward" into attacks and not flinch at all, while taking damage.

* {{Lag Cancel}}: Some characters have the ability to cancel out of their standing attacks and preform a super, or cancel a super into another super, provided that they have the super meter for it. That's super.

* {{Launcher Move}}: Every character in the game has one, and is usually the start of most combos.
* {{Multiplayer Difficulty Spike}}: Going against the computer with some characters, it can be rather easy to beat them, as they can be predictable. In Multiplayer matches however, all characters have at least 3 moves that the '''CPU WILL NEVER USE''' which can really surprise players when they see them in a match.

* {{Nintendo Hard}}: Some characters when the AI handles them, have predefined combos and ways to counter attack. Jump in the air? Expect the computer to grab or knock you out of it. Super Meter at Maximum? The CPU will be prepared to avoid it and not get in the most dangerous spot possible.

* {{SNK Boss}}: In more earlier versions, the game contained a hidden boss which was a woman with a sword who had no name whatsoever. Based on that description, you'd think that the battle would be easy to slightly challenging, but it is far worse than that. The sword has '''EXTREME''' range and a hitbox slightly larger than said range, and she can ''break combos at will'' and counters 95% of heavy attacks. She can, however be defeated by patiently dodging and launching projectiles frequently.

* {{Obvious Rule Patch}}: Remember how earlier we mentioned that this was a '''MUGEN''' game? '''MUGEN''' has had debug buttons that can effect the game in "cheating" ways, such as players dying with the press of the F1 key. In online matches, this was a complete mess in the private beta, so this was removed almost instantly in a later patch.
* {{Power Equals Rarity}}: Harder to use characters seem to be able to pull off the most damage, whiff attacks, and, in the hands of a experience player, can pull off perfect victories with ease.

* {{Combos}}: There are lots of combos, all beautiful, some not even anticipated by the Devs. It is also possible to preform ''bound'' combos from the {{Tekken}} series.

** ''Karou'', in modern updates, while not a boss actually fits this description. His combos actually ''increase in damage'' the longer they are, has a upward spinning uppercut that counts as multiple hits, and when it is hit from the beginning, can remove 45% of health, and has a Super which involves him launching a large spire of fire toward his opponent with his sword, which not only deals 55% damage, it '''stuns the opponent for 10 seconds!!''' Combined with the before mentioned Uppercut, this can cause a round to end in a matter of seconds.
*** Because the character is slow and hard to handle, he is not banned from Tournament Play.
