Favorite Move?

Post by BeaBumby » Sat Nov 20, 2021 3:23 pm

By this I mean stuff like the kamehameha or final flash or yknow whatever.
But you can also list your favorite technique or transformation if you'd like :]

Personally my favorite is Dragon Fist, looks so cool! Though Trunks probably shoulda got the win

Mine is a three-way tie between Tenshinhan's Kikoho/Tri-Beam/Neo Tri-Beam, Yamcha's Sokidan/Energy Bullet, and Goku's Great Ape Fist (same as the Dragon Fist, but using the Great Ape symbolism as opposed to the Dragon). The latter, I really love for the menacing image of the Great Ape Piccolo Daimao sees before he's killed. Tenshinhan and Yamcha are also part of my main FighterZ squad, and I love pulling out those moves for the final KO whenever possible.

Krillin's Scattering Bullet is pretty cool, too.

The story of DRAGON BALL starts from the moment Goku met Bulma. I don't really mind the Z, so long as it's understood that it's not the true beginning of the story.

I actually prefer the Goku vs Tenshinhan and Goku vs Piccolo Jr. rivalries to the Goku vs Vegeta rivalry.

That's called Penetrate! It's a close second for me :]

Yup, although Great Ape Fist is an alternate name for it. It's such a dramatic moment for me, and I like anything that utilizes the Great Ape lore. :)

I really like the Kamehameha and Kaioken, but I also really like the one where Goku hits Yamcha so hard he ricochets of the manga panel.

Dragon Fist all the way, it's just too badass to not be on first place and it's very effective. The only character that survived it was Omega Shenron and only because he could regenerate. That technique is almost guaranteed kill and it looks dope.

Other than that i like Genki Dama, Kamehameha X10, Big Bang Kamehameha, Stardust Breaker and Revenge Death Ball a lot.

I suppose I should mention some from the villains. I've always found Nappa's Volcano Explosion technique to be quite terrifying. I love the look of Frieza's Death Ball and the ease at which he generates it. And any of Majin Boo's techniques for their creativity, but particularly his Human Extinction Attack.

You know what..., I know I keep coming back, but I also really loved the Mafuba. That dramatic look of it and the one who is using it, plus what's at stake (death) from successfully using it. The green swirling vortex and the character it's being used on being drawn into it is a thrilling visual.

And since the Kamehameha is the OG move, even though I didn't list it as a favorite earlier, it's kind of there by default, but I'll list my favorite uses of it instead. One that comes to mind is Goku's running Kamehameha against Krillin in the 22nd Budokai, where he jumps up and fires the Kamehameha into opposite direction of the sky to propel himself at Krillin. Another is Goku's Instant Kamehameha against Cell. I also dug Gohan's standing Kamehameha against Cell, and then the Kamehameha UI Omen Goku uses against Kefla. Oh, and Roshi''s and Goku's in Path to Power. These are just a few that stand out to me.

Favorite Kamehamehas include Goku's off the Nyoibo versus Tambourine and Goku versus Nikki and Ginger in Dead Zone.

Piccolo's mouth blast I like because of how evil it feels.

Cyborg Taopaipai's Super Dodonpa.

Piccolo's giant form technique. I would have liked to see more of this. Maybe against a giant sized Freeza on Namek. Or against an Oozaru Goku at the tournament, or alongside Goku/Gohan versus the Saiyans or some other enemy.

Yamcha's Roga Fu Fu Ken.

I have no clue how I forgot to mention this. Maybe it's because it's not a "ki" attack. But I absolutely love this move any time it comes up.

I've always loved Trunks' attacks. The Burning Attack, Buster Cannon, and Finish Buster.

Yamcha's Spirit Ball is great. In the games anyway. I love the way he casually smacks people around with it.

Gogeta's Big Bang Kamehameha is fucking awesome too. Very powerful feeling move.

I don't think I have a particular favorite attack...but I would like to shout-out Gotenks' Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack. It's fun and actually effective.
