In Saint Seiya: The Hades on PS2, you have Lion Aiolia. His basic Cosmo attack is a fast lightning bolt that deals OK damage and forces anything it hits to its knees, meaning you can charge for either more Lightning Bolts, his Special Attack, the Lightning Plasma, which has a good range and can do decent damage, or a Big-Bang, which not only do crazy damage but also stop the opponent from resurrecting if they're KO'd by one.
In the same game, there is a game-mode called "Saint Legend", in which you fight a gauntlet of 12 opponents, and 2 more at the end if you won without being killed, and those last 2 are notoriously difficult.
Except with Aiolia, who just wrecks everything.
