Top 10 Video Game Character Signature Moves


stand back he’s gonna do his thing
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down the top 10 video game
character signature moves how many years
have we waited for this chance these are
the special moves we all stringently
identify with these characters that
means we’ll be excluding basic movement
characters perform that are all two
identical to one another’s like Mario’s
junk much like our previous lists we’ll
be focusing on one per franchise quickly
hidden to the bullpen number 10 Mega Man
charge shot Mega Man series hasn’t
anyone ever told you why they call this
guy the Blue Bomber equipped with his
highly versatile Mega Buster Mega Man
utilizes solar energy to unleash some
devastating damage single uncharged
blast is powerful enough but a fully
charged shot is a real force to be
reckoned with
appearing larger than a regular shot the
charged shot has the ability to rip
through hordes of enemies with ease
given Mega Man has the necessary time to
charge up uninterrupted those robots
never stood a chance
number 9 crash bandicoot’s spin attack
crash bandicoot series very rarely at a
video game series do we find a character
with a move that so perfectly represents
their attitude crashes spin attack turns
the eastern bard bandicoot into a
walking tornado and is most commonly
used to defeat enemies and break crates
the spin makes for the heroes most
natural line of defense and though it
makes you almost invulnerable for a
short amount of time the wise know not
to overuse this technique after one too
many spins crash becomes dizzy for a
period of time and becomes unable to
move Danya can capture him Oh number
eight Kirby’s inhaling and copy ability
Kirby series this enigmatic character
may possess one of the most devastating
abilities there is Kirby’s powerful
lungs allow him to suck in almost an
infinite amount of air leaving
everything and everyone susceptible to
being swallowed in his path sort of like
yoshi’s tongue attack the fluffy pink
puff has been swallowing several objects
several times his size such as trees and
boulders
but when an enemy gets sucked into his
endless void Kirby is able to mimic
their opponent’s abilities giving him
nigh on limited powers you are what you
eat
number seven captain Falcons Falcon
punch Super Smash Brothers series you
think you’ve got road rage you should
talk to the captain
knocking his opponents into a fiery
Falcon shaped blaze wouldn’t be complete
without his exclamation of Falcon plunge
signifying it as one of the most
signature of signature moves falcon
punch
it’s the FCO racers most powerful move
although it’s slow charging time along
with its predictability make it one of
the hardest to land but what sweet
satisfaction when it does
number six Samus is screwattack Metroid
series
the ScrewAttack is just one of the many
tools the space bounty hunter possesses
but is one that is specialized for her
power suit samus activates this attack
by somersaulting into the air and
emanating energy waves from her armor
making her a temporary ball of
invulnerability not to be confused with
the morph ball technique which turns her
into a mobile sphere an attack that can
plow through opponents as well as solid
objects it’s no wonder that you usually
unlock this power late in the game
number five the dough Vikings fus-ro-dah
the elderscrolls v skyrim dragon ball
bitches you welcome to high Hrothgar why
walk like an Egyptian when you can shout
like a dragon fus-ro-dah actually
translates into force balance push and
as the first shout to dovakin inherits
on the main quest after slaying the
first dragon most bands don’t actually
covet the move for its actual purpose
staggering and launching opponents away
from you but more for the hilarious
battle cry and the chaotic scenarios
that follow
number four links spin attack Legend of
Zelda series
this versatile sword technique has been
used in various iterations of the game
series and has remained the hero of high
rules most useful combat technique in
almost every title aside from being an
all-around powerful offensive strike the
spin attack has also served as a strong
defense as its wide range can damage a
number of enemies within the swords
radius once link takes his ready stance
and charges his blade you’d be wise to
stay clear
number three Ryu and Ken’s Hadouken
Street Fighter series being taught the
legendary technique from their master
gouken these two street fighter pioneers
were the ones to usher in the hadouken
into the Street Fighter series through
sheer willpower control of key and a
spoonful of videogame magic an energy
wave to be emitted through their palms
leaving their opponents immobilized the
move was later adopted by subsequent
combatants but it’s usually only
associated with Ryu and Ken the answer
lies in the heart of battle
much like their iconic shorter yukkin
technique or Ryo chinku hadouken from
Marvel vs. Capcom number two Sonic’s
spin – Sonic the Hedgehog series the
blue hedgehog sets out to redefine too
fast too furious with this iconic move
literally transforming into a blue ball
of speed Sonic launches himself into
enemies and obstacles all without so
much as breaking a sweat
the move takes a moment to charge but
the real wonder is how sonic manages to
build up such momentum while staying in
a stationary position while it’s been
adapted to various characters within the
series no one does it better than the
originals I found you faker before we
unveil our top pick here are a few
honorable mentions
number one scorpion spear attack get
over here
Mortal Kombat series while we do have a
soft spot for Liu Kang’s bicycle kick
never has a signature move warranted so
much authority as this one
scorpions order to is followed by him
extending his kunai attached to a rope
once this pierces his opponent he
proceeds to drag them towards him
closing the distance in the arena Thank
You Mai the resurrected ninja refers to
his move as his spear and it later gets
upgraded to being attached to a chain in
future installments this fearsome move
doesn’t only act as scorpions most
recognised technique but also serves as
his most infamous catchphrase as well
