When I got toward the end of FF7, I thought this was a damn cool attack. These days...not as much:

When I first saw that attack, I was floored.

Now, I use it to take a bathroom break and make a sandwich. I come back and he's still casting it.

What about Caffeine Nicotine's "Fire of Fecundity"?

What a silly name.

There are so many great ones to pick from, but I'd have to say the best one I can think of is Terry Bogard's power geyser with full super bar. The way he yells out the "Geeyyyysaaaaaaaarrrrrrrr!" part is just epic.

When I think of all the great attack sounds, most of them all come from SNK games.

"Armageddon Buster" - It's Franco's gruff voice which makes it so much more satisfying.

Samus's screw attack was always my favorite because it feels like the crowning piece of your adventure, letting you smash through everything while space jumping. Other than that probably Wolverine's Weapon X from XMvSF because it's totally like something you would've seen in the comics at the time.

Are you joking, updated for current generation systems this summon would be so surreal it would seriously give you nightmares. Imagine Shoemaker Levi plowing toward earth after owning Jupiter and company and living up to its namesake by making the sun go nova all in high res.

yeah that was always salt in the wounds, basically telling you defeated foe who his daddy was.

Terry's Triple Geyser from Fatal Fury 3 is probably my favorite.

A close second is Sagat's Tiger Genocide from Street Fighter Alpha 1.

Joe's Fatal Fury 3 Screw Upper, Geese's Raging Storm and Ryu's Shin Shoryuken are also pretty high up there for me.
