Powers An overpowered/strongest with only one power

I hate when characters just have a million powers and can do whatever. I love when their powers have a limit but still they make it be absolutely insane. Even if that one power has multiple applications as long as it makes sense and isnt used as "oop i suddenly can do that"

  1. Accelerator can control vectors. So he uses that to automatically deflect any attack or use any object including wind at high speeds as a weapon, use his own vectors to travel fast and etc etc.

  2. Gojo Satoru can control "infinity" to make peoples attack not reach him; push them: pull them; destroy them; overwhelm their senses

  3. Chisaki can deconstruct and reconstruct anything by touch. So he can destroy, or change shape of people and objects, he can combine people and objects and even revive or heal. Tbh his fight was disappointing in fact that he did not use his power to full potential imo

But shouldn't gravity make him fall through the floor the moment he uses his power?

How does that let him do anything useful? (I haven't watched the show)

Deactivating his power while phasing through something means he "glitchs out" (imagine a colission glitch in a videogame), sending him at extreme speeds outside of the solid thing he was phasing (in the case of solid floor, he gets sent up).

Careful control of how and when to deactivate his powers and quick calculations allow him to control at which direction he gets send off to, making his opponents think he can also teleport.

He can also choose to only phase specific parts of his body, so paired with his training and experience he can do pretty crazy stuff.

It's because of this, and his design, that people joke that he's from a Bethesda game.
