Favorite Attack?

Post by jda95 » Thu Dec 25, 2008 5:31 am

Energy: Makankosappo (also known as...... SPECIAL BEAM CANNON!!!one!! to dub fans)

It is just such an amazing attack with great special effects.

Physical: Jan Ken Punch

The way it is executed with the rock/paper/scissors just makes it a really cool, fun attack. Shame it is used never past original DB....

You guys?

P.S. Merry Christmas

P.P.S. 100th Post!

Physical: Super Dragon Fist
Energy: Kienzan/Destructo Disc

What does Super Ghost Kamikaze count as, because that is an awesome move too.

Physical and Energy: Goku's head butts.

Kinda funny but always shown in a dramatic way.

Physical: Yamucha's Rouga Fuufuu Ken (Wolf Fang Fist)
Energy: Vegetto's Final Kamehameha

Close second would be Jan Ken Punch. I just love it when Goku calls one thing, but uses another. A little stroke of genius for our 'Son-Kun'.

Three energy attacks for me:

Feet Kamehameha - Although not exactly an attack when it was shown, it'd be pretty badass to flip over and fire while on your hands at your enemy.

Normal Kamehameha - Instant classic and its hand-sign/pose execution is just badass for manga/anime.

3rd Form Freeza's finger beam spam against Piccolo(anime version) - In the manga, it looked like simple invisible kiai moves that were cutting Piccolo to shreads but the anime version moved it up a notch and made it a badass laser storm of hell, it was like Freeza's personality stabbing you all over a hundred times.

One Physical:

Gokus combo against Piccolo Jr. after the ring gets destroyed - It was so awesome and badass, I liked how the anime made it more "IN YOUR FACE" than the manga did, the gut punch was simply thrashing. I liked how they put it in BT3, even if it was to the wrong Goku and not the Early one.

The Daizenshuu counts it as a Blended-type attack.
The Saiyans are very much like the Klingons and Jem'Hadar.

Physical/energy: Kamehameha using feet 8)
Just energy: Genki-Dama (it's a classic)

That's all that comes to mind now. I probably have more favorite attacks.

I have two favorites, the Kaiouken and the Zanzoken. They're both really unique techniques that didn't get shoved into the ground by similar-looking techniques done by other characters.
