Favorite Sound Effect?

Post by Dbzfan94 » Tue Feb 04, 2014 6:43 pm

What is your favorite sound effect? Could be anything. For me, its...

The teleportation sound (Instant Transmission),

The energy ball charge (ex: Bardock's at the end of the TV special),

the one punching sound that always come with a heavy hit (Piccolo & 17 keep drilling each other in the stomach)

Either Cell walking, or when Cell does his various "buwhee/buwhaa" sounds.

I like the sound of energy waves when they start charging up. :P and the electricity sound when they go super saiyan 2 and 3.
The Dragonboxes are like a middle aged woman who still looks good through simply taking good care of her skin and body with maybe a tiny bit of makeup while the Orange Bricks are like a middle aged woman who get's 50 tons of botox, makeup and plastic surgery in order to look younger and as a result looks even worse. ~ ringworm128

The sound of shoes/boots touching the ground when a flying character lands. It's just a totally simple sound but you hear it so often throughout the series that it's almost a trademark of it IMO.

The aura sound, probably.

I'd love to know how that sound is made. Or really any of the sounds.

The victim of violent head trauma as an infant [...] he's a simple bumpkin with a fair share of brain damage who's natural talents to work out what's wrong compensate for his broad lack of common sense. But he's also a fighter, through and through [...] he fight until he has, in no uncertain terms, beaten his enemy on terms they can both acknowledge. He doesn't want to kill anyone, or even prove that he can win... he just wants to know he can. He's an ineffably charming bastard who's manly leanings were really incendental, and yes, the fact that he was voiced by a squeaky woman made the combination perhaps all the more charming.

Energy waves and aura sounds.
A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.

The Kaioken sound effect and the GOAT(Greatest of All Time) sound effect is that Oozaru sound effect when a Saiyan screams(Think Gohan turning SSj2 in JPN). Those two are awesome.

- Oozaru Roar
- Broly's High-Pitch energy squealing sound.
- Gohan Oozaru (Mouth Beam Sound) the energy "Sss-Pwaooww" blast sound seemed to be unique enough to be never used again.
- Cell Walking squeaks / Cells Tail-winding gooey sound.
- The Kaioken Whistle sound.
- The Budokai 3 (big) Planet Explosion shreaking humming sound.

If that's all you want, then all you want is fanservice, rather than an actual coherent story. And of course those aren't mutually exclusive; you could have a coherent story with "shine" moments! But if a story is perfectly coherent (and I'm really not seeing any compelling arguments that this one is anything but, despite constantly recurring, really poorly reasoned, attempts to argue otherwise), and you're bemoaning the lack of "shine" moments as a reason for the story's poor quality, then you're letting your thirst for "shine" moments obfuscate your ability to detect basic storytelling when it's right in front of you.

The aura sound.
Kaioken sound.
Kamehameha charging sound.
Villains' squeaky feet.
Boo gooey regeneration sound.
Kienzan's razor-sharp sound.
Vegetto's beam sword sound.
The sound when they basically teleport around. (swift movement)
Gogeta's eye beam sound.


And all the rest.

Freeza's Death Ball sound, or the "granting a wish" sound.

I've already covered my answer in another thread but the sound effects of many of the monsters/villains walking around is my favorite (i.e. Cell).

I mean, whether Jesus is real or not, he - he's had a bigger impact on the world than any of us have. And the same can be said for Bugs Bunny and - and Superman and Harry Potter. They've changed my life - changed the way I act on the earth. Doesn't that make them kind of real? They might be imaginary but, but they're more important than most of us here. And they're all gonna be around here long after we're dead. So, in a way, those things are more realer than any of us.

Another one of my favorites is when a character is really surprised and it goes like DUN DUNN

The "Oh Shit!" sound effect that plays whenever a character gets surprised or comes to some kind of startling realization.

The HUGE impact sound. Plays a lot when Piccolo was fighting Freeza's second form. It's a BOOM then a slight echo.
