Literally all of Merkava and Ragna's move names but I, Drill Through and Black Onslaught are especially two of my faves

Dragon Install also, it's so good it is the move referenced for any powerup based skill in any fighting game

I consistently lose matches as Terry due to having to use the Burn Knuckle more than is ever wise.

Wind God Fist has always been the Japanese name (Fujinken, where Fujin is the Shinto god of the wind), but up to T6 it was called Rising Uppercut in the English in-game move lists.

Hmmm. Thinking about it, I'm not sure I could come up with an answer for what my favorite-named fighting game move is. But I can sure tell you what it definitely isn't!


I've always been found of Azrael's "Patriot Apocalypse". I don't know why it's called that, but it's cool.
Valkenhayn's move names aren't super exciting but his english VA yelled them with just gusto that I liked them a lot.
PSYCHO CRUSHER is a classic to the point where it barely counts, I guess.
I'd put "filthy acts at a resonable price" here but if we're allowed to include JoJo stuff that's basically cheating.

I'm sure there are a bunch of others, but most of the other good ones I can think of seem to have been mentioned. For me, it's not so much what the move is called but how they yell it.

I also liked how English VA sol would yell something like "Hot enough for you?!" during either Fafnir or Bandit Bringer

e: WHY DON'T YOU CALM DOWN was another good callout from english SIGN sol

I remember James Chen put out a video talking about this but wasn't losing Proximity normals a huge problem with the redesign of characters in SFV and resulted in lots of bad normals for characters, or really broken normals in other?

The problem isn't that prox normals are gone, it's that

The current normals only work at point blank so maybe they kept the prox normals and actually got rid of the regular ones :tinfoil:

Well along these lines what about good rear end fight intros. Billy Kane's "Ima gonna gently caress you so bad" is a classic.
