any move in a fighting game that requires at least one “level” out of a meter or something to that equivalent (Ex: Shinkuu Hadouken). I’m including team up supers and the like.
I was trying to think of criteria for things that shouldn’t qualify, like EX moves from third strike or the equivalent from darkstalkers (cant remember what they’re called) or burst moves from guilty gear. but i think everyone here gets the idea, and who’s to say those moves aren’t your favorite?
anyway, my fave is (SF3)hugo’s gigas breaker. love seeing half their life bar drain
honorable mentions:
hideo’s team super from the rival schools series: hurricane kicks into a dragon uppercut into TWO fireballs, one from the ground, one from the air. that’s gotta hurt…
doctrine dark’s dark shackle from SFEX: sliced, diced, bombed
yamazaki’s (KOF, CVS, etc) guillotine: grab them by the head, slam them on the ground, drag them for a bit, stomp and kick to finish
Note: don’t know if art of fighting moves count, but whatever…
O c’mon now how could anyone not say the daddy of all specials, the raging demon. That is by far the best special I have ever encountered…but there are some other good ones like…Terry’s Power Geyser, Jin’s Bloodia Vulcan, Wolverine’s Weapon X, and Zangeif’s Final Atomic Buster! By far my favorites
At the moment, Akiha’s Origami super from the Melty Blood series is my favorite. <3
I also love both of the Shiki’s (Tohno and Nanaya) slow-motion knife supers from Melty Blood.
How can you not love Cyclops’s optic blast? <3
Eddie’s shark super from the Guilty Gear series is sweet, even though I don’t like Eddie. Jam’s flame pillar (fire uppercut) super too.
Shadow Dio’s knife super and Hol Horse’s slow-motion gun super from Jojo’s.
Donovan’s foot stomp super from the Vampire series is great. Sasquatch’s ice beam super is comedy gold. <3
I sorta like the way all the supers look in Garou:MotW (cept Tizoc’s), but the one that stands out the most is Jenet’s secret super, because the ending pose is too good. <3
Charlotte’s super slashy star thing from SS4.
Rolento’s trip wire super is damn slick, but I like the grenade super too. Ibuki’s grab super is hotness… that thing should be an instant kill on like half the cast. I’ve always loved Zangief’s FAB in every game he’s in. I always laugh to myself every time I see/hear Akuma’s spinny super in 3S, the kick super… so I guess that means I like it, hehehe (stupid shit).
That’s all I can think of at the moment.
I like Cammy’s Killer Bee Assult better. All she needed was a cool quote to go with it, like Spidey had.
Big Fall Griffon > Darun’s G.O.D(with hidden finisher) = GIGAS FUCKING BREAKER > EX C.FAB > EX FAB = Darun’s EX1 Shin Bomb > SFZ FAB = Raiden’s Super The End(Wild Ambition version is much better than what he does in CvS, but I’ll give the CvS one a nod too) > ST FAB
I also like Duck King’s Break Spiral(all incarnations of it, although FF:WA was the most satisfying to me), Takuma’s SDM Shin Kishin Geki(block that, bitch), Kim Kaphwan(Real Bout(Phoenix + auto taunt = win) > FF:WA > OG FF = pre 96 > pre 2k1 = 2k2 = CvS > 2k3 >>>> 2k1) , Sue Il(the only low hitting one, first one to have an actual Phoenix, beautiful, all it needs is doves flying off in the BG and it’ll be right out of some John Woo shit) and Jae Hoon’s(last Phoenix) Houou Kyaku.
Honorable Mention goes to CvS1 EX Ryo’s Tenchi Haoh Ken(Lv3 big punch) with Finest KO assist. That shit looks beautiful.
Yamazaki’s Yondan Drill from Wild Ambition. That fucker’s CRAZY. Runner up goes to his '97 SDM Yondan Drill(mash to level 2) where he fucking cuts your ass up for like 10 seconds straight.
Cody’s Final Destruction.
75% of the supers in all the Rival Schools games. Almost all of their Double Teams, and half of the Party Ups.
Gigas breaker. Final atomic buster.
Iori’s attack with quarter forward motion x4 extention.
Backdrop bomb.
Roy’s Dynamite Justice.
Batsu’s full team super finishing with them all punching.
By the way do they have any Project justice videos online i havent played that game in years.
Kamiiii Potemkin…Bustah!
Are you ok…BUSTAHB WOLF!!
Shin…shoooryuken!
Gun Flame (fc) rinse repeat
(Wall toss into…) Megaton…PRESS!!!
Sean’s rushdown SA.
Shin’s punching you in the face really hard (KoF 2003)
Zen’s Ultimate (TRF)
Sogetsu three hit waterball.
Hol Horse shooting the glass to call out Hanged Man.
Oh…and ftw…Kobe! Sean jumpshot
