Favorite Attack

Post by SSJ2bardock » Mon Apr 21, 2008 6:50 pm

I just wanted to get some feed back from my peers here at the forum on their favorite attacks from DB/Z/GT. Mine personally is the original Genki Dama, you know the smaller one that Goku holds in one hand instead of charging in the sky. I also really liked the Kaio-ken, but I'm not sure that could be considered an "attack" per se.

Super Kaio-ken attack(greatest filler attack ever made)
Instant Teleport Kamehameha
3rd Stage Freeza's crazy death beams
Bardock's ultimate attack
Freeza's planet destroyer
The series doesn't start with the arrival of Raditz. Stop being lazy and watch Dragonball.

Oh I forgot about that one! When Goku used Kaioken while he was super saiyan against Pikkon I almost crapped myself out of sheer amazement.

Kaioken ofcourse. Kid Trunks "Finish Buster" thing that he used at the tournament was cool (was that name ever used, besides in the games). Vegeta's Final Flash. Also, the Destructo Disk. I was totally amazed by that the first time Krillin used it.

Edit: Actually, I looked it up, its not "Finish Buster", its Double Buster

The greatest attacks come from Tenshinhan namely the "Kikohou". Instead of Ki, your own life-force is the source of power, meaning that you could do whatever you what as long as you can live from it.

You know that combination is awesome yet at the same time, unimaginable. I mean, wouldn't Goku literally explode from being overwhelmed with too much Ki? Kaio-Ken + Super Saiyan = :cry: to Goku. I know he was already dead but you can die again in the DB world.
Be grateful the filler in Dragon Ball doesn't suck like the 3rd arc of Rurouni Kenshin.

Makankosappo or Kikoho, I also like the physical attacks like Wolf Fang Fist.

My all time favorite attack is the Masenko. It adds to the obscurity of Gohan's character and I just think it's a really cool blast. It's interesting that it's exclusive to those who know Piccolo's style (Piccolo, Gohan, Future Trunks). I can't really pinpoint a favorite instance of it, but the big one when Gohan goes back to fight Frieza after Goku apparently dies is really cool as well as the one in movie 3.
It's always fantastic when Piccolo uses it (I like to think his first blast against Perfect Cell during the Kamehameha struggle was a Masenko as the dub states) and the movie 8 scene of SS Future Trunks and Gohan was awsome; not to mention the flashback scene of Future Gohan using it.
It's bothered me before that Gohan is never shown using it after being trained by Goku, but the rarity of it actually makes me enjoy it more.


I'm also really fond of the Wolf Fang Fist (again very cool that only Yamcha knows it), second in line for sure. The Kaioken probably comes next, followed by the Special Beam Cannon and the Tri Beam.

I didn't know mirai Trunks could use masenko. Did he learn it from mirai Gohan?

Yeah! Which is a really cool idea to me. We only get to see it once, however, in the first Broly film which is of course "non-canon". I'm pretty sure it's also listed as one of his moves in the Daizenshuu.

Here's a great screen shot of it, scroll down to the "top five stolen attacks": http://www.daizex.com/general/podcast/m ... _old.shtml

I doubt her judgment after 23rd Budokai ChiChi was ranked below eight-year-old Bra in the "Hottest Women".

That was definitely one of the coolest attack from Z. #17 never saw it coming.

I like it whenever anyone "shoots" anything from their mouths. It's so funny cuz it's so pointless. Who's done it before? Piccolo, Nappa, Dabura?, Dodoria, Boo?, Freeza, etc.
