I'm trying to understand the grammar of this sentence. I understand the
meaning of it and the words, but I'd like to know what forms なり, すぎて, and しまった
are in and how they "connect" to each other. Any help would be appreciated.

> 「それともオレたちが強くなりすぎてしまったのか...」
>
> "Or have we ended up getting too strong?"

How does なりすぎてしまった work?
Let me break down the 強くなりすぎてしまった part...

強く -- continuative form of i-adjective つよい, "strong"  
なり -- continuative form of verb なる(成る), "become" "get"  
すぎて -- てform of verb ～すぎる(過ぎる), "...too much"  
(～て)しまった -- past form of subsidiary verb (～て)しまう, "end up ...ing"

So 強くなる - "become strong"  
強くなりすぎる - "become strong too much", "get too strong"  
強くなりすぎてしまった - "ended up getting too strong"

Does this make sense to you?
