Favorite super/special?

[MannyKal]

If the topic isn't specific enough...

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...

[CrotchMonkey]

aegis reflector, that is one of the most unique supers.

[Duy Nguyen]

Shippu-Jinrai-Kyaku, Shin Shoryuken, and Rock's Raging Storm and Shining Knuckle is so bad ass.

[Rioting Soul]

Wingnut's Sonic Boom. 300% damage on crossup.

[Chupacabra]

ive always liked Ken's EX-hurricane kick

[SNAAAAKE]

A-Bison cvs2 - paint the fence custom ! Does like 75% damage on same ratio I think :devil:

Yang 3s - SA1 :nunchuck:

Rock cvs2 - random toss on other side of the screen then super..that looks cool

Chun li mvc - raging demon style kick super..one of my all time favorite

[Wellman]

Rock's Shine Knuckle with rising tackle finish.

Spiderman's Maxium Spider

Ryu's Shinnkuu Hadoken (First one I ever done)

Cable's Hyper Viper Beam

Jin's Flaming Tornado or Joe's Double Cyclone

All of Kirby's B moves in Smash Bros. From the rising and descend blade of Up B to the classic vacuum of basic B, he kicks ass.

[1/2Man1/2God]

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

[b1gazn]

raging demon

[Xenozip.]

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.

Spiderman's Maxium Spider I like Cammy's Killer Bee Assult better. All she needed was a cool quote to go with it, like Spidey had.

[Septimus Prime]

Denjin-Hadou-Ken is my favorite. Not only is it unique, it's also powerful and unblockable.

Maximum Spider and X.F.L.A.T. are runner-ups.

Boomerang Raid (my super of choice, ironically) is lame, as is Hoyouku-Sen.

[Saotome Kaneda]

Any 720 super.

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.


Oh, and fuck T Hawk.

[ArcadeFire]

Shinkuu Hadouken, Aegis Reflector, Houyoukusen(sp?), and any of Guile's supers.

[Guardcrush]

For some reason guiles flash kick has always been one of my favorites. I like his sonic hurricane too cvs2 style.

[Calcal]

Gigas breaker. Final atomic buster.
Iori's attack with quarter forward motion x4 extention.
Backdrop bomb.
Roy's Dynamite Justice.

By the way do they have any Project justice videos online i havent played that game in years.

Iori's Rage of the 8 Maiden then connect to Bloom of the Wolf..that move is sick....

[Khiempossible]

A note on everyone who named Aegis as unique. I first saw that style of move in Batman Forever for the Sega Genesis. It was called Force Wall.

my favourites in no particular order:

Ralf's QCBHCF+K, Faust's butt-poking move, Setsuna's (LB2) SDM: he charges up with super armor, then does an attack throw, when it hits, the opponent becomes encased in a glass sheet. He then reaches out, grabs the opponent's heart, stealing his soul, and clenches his fist, drippping blood. The glass shatters, and your opponnet falls to the floor. I-No's IK.

[Blackestheart]

Blackhearts Heart of Darkness.

[R.P.D rookie]

Yamazaki's Guillotine special: the headbutt version


Never thought I'd find a special that I liked more than Jugg's Headcrush but there's something about backhanding your opponent into temporary unconsciousness long enough to pick them up off the ground and deliver 8 hardcore headbutts to crack their face open that makes me smile. These ain't no sissy headbutts either: we're talking about cocking back on one leg like a pitcher about to throw a ball to build up momentum to swing your body in and smash the other person's head. Even before Yamazaki picks you up he gets super pissed off for two seconds before going apeshit. When it comes to a true street brawler, you gotta have a headbutt in your lineup of fighting moves and Yamazaki delivers.

[Shin Ace]

Shippu Jinrai Kyaku
akuma's raging demon from xvsf with the machine volume at max
chun-li's air demon in mvc

[Americanmeowth]

Mai's HSDM, with any of the endings. You get ninja-like dashing, fanservice and fire. Enveryone wins. And also her jumping special from FFRB, the one where she leaps onto the opponent, grabs their neck, and then explodes. Good idea for the time, it's one of her few moves where she actually acts like a ninja, and it's got a cool shamisen sound effect to go with it.

The award for the move with the coolest name goes the Clark's Super Arabian Burglary Backbreaker from KOF95.

I also like Angel's HDSM where she does the People's Elbow, if only for the sheer ridiculousness of it. I wish it were easier to pull off, though.

[Korigama]

2.)Freeze Execution (Kula)
3.)Nocturnal Lights (Mature)
