Final Kamehameha. Too bad the anime version is kinda disappointing.

Ah, the Alpha and the Omega. As all life was created from Chaos...so shall it be DESTROYED!!!

The wails of machines | Singing cold harmony | Shifting air upward | Entranced by the breeze | Light pours like blood | Into a cosmic sea | Of stars crystallized | In a frozen symphony

Doesn't King Piccolo steady his Destructive Wave like that?

Anyway, now that we can choose any attack, besides that generic one handed energy wave I mentioned earlier, I'd probably pick Kienzan/Destructo Disk. Freeza and Cell showed that there's so much more potential to that technique than is thought. Freeza could make homing versions and Cell could throw them rapidly. That and the move is basically a one hit kill on anything but Cell and Buu.

He's probably referring to the Bardock special. Zarbon was the one who first recommended destroying Planet Vegeta because the saiyans were rapidly growing in strength.
It was actually Beerus disguised as Zarbon #StayWoke

Like with Freeza, where he starts off over 10 times stronger than all his henchmen except Ginyu (because...well, just because), then we find out he can transform and get even more powerful, and then he reveals he can transform two more times, before finally coming out with the fact that he hasn't even been using anywhere near 50% of his power. Oh, and he can survive in the vacuum of space. All this stuff is just presented as the way Freeza is, without even an attempt at rationalizing it, yet the tone dictates we're supposed to take all this silly grasping at straws as thrilling danger. So I guess I don't really take the power inflation in the Boo arc seriously, but I don't take the power inflation in earlier arcs seriously either, so there's no net loss of seriousness. I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.

From the list, Kamehameha in first with Final Flash in second

Off list I like the new Limit Break Kamehameha that SSJG Goku uses in DBH.

Real world I'd choose Death Beam. There are slot of A-hole out there that need sniping
Dragon World I'd choose Kamehameha.

It's cool, so long as you don't mind shortening your lifespan and/or dying.

I would choose the Kamehameha from the feet. Just to be different.

In the English version of the tenkaichi games that move is called dirty fireworks. And a move like that is what I would use because then you look more awesome since you don't look like you're trying :lol: Plus all those other moves leave you wide open for attack.

Or I would use the Devilmite Beam because that should work on anybody that can't regenerate (screw that whole pure of heart scene with Goku :wtf: )

Oh crap, I forgot about that one. Yes, I'd want the Devilmite Beam. It's not as practical as the Kienzan, but it's a hell of a lot cooler.

I'll throw my hands up in the air sometimes and choose the GenkiDama. It may not be the fastest attack, but I'd love to see a big ball of energy form above my hands.

I've always liked the Masenko. My version can focus like a wave or spread like a water blast with lots of splash damage and abrasion.

Goku's feet-based kamehameha for fun, and Limit Break (like a kit kat bar) Kamehameha for practicality.

I don't think feet Kamehameha has to be a separate technique, y'know... you could have your cake and eat it. :P

I would say that the lullaby technique of Kame Sennin would really be handy in everyday situations, like when someone is loud in a public space, you could just put them to sleep.

Otherwise, a generic ki blast would be cool to use, or Raditz's two handed blast.

Favorite attack is definitely Big bang Kamehameha.. But all of that credit goes to the video games regular and times 100 were the most impressive and awesome.

*No one kill me* Broly's Ki attack comes as my second, the noise, and the color are awesome and how it starts off so tiny and can become gigantic like at the end of movie 10.

I think being able to preform a powerful Kiai would be awesome. It's not as flashy as a Kamehameha, but it's definitely a lot faster, and carries a surprise factor with it. Just a cold stare, or a forward palm motion accompanied by a quick yell that could send the enemy flying. That's all I really need :wink:

I do. It'd be my be pick, but I know I'd probably over use it and kill myself accidentally.

I really like the generic ki blast that Bardock throws at Furiza that gets absorbed into the Death Ball. That blue/white thing that looks a little bit like a lolly.
