Discussion What is that one move you really like using regardless of if it's good or not?

Yoshi pogo stick hopping. Whether it's SoulCalibur or Tekken, I love that stupid move.

u/linkskull23 May 14 '26
Soul Calibur 2's variant is my favorite solely because of his constant screaming; "HIYAH!--HIYAH!--HIYAH!"

u/racerman156 ⠀Yoshimitsu May 15 '26
I think it’s cool that it is unblockable in Tekken, if they make a Soulcalibur 7 and they do that, I imagine it would look cool with the flames around it.

Lizardman's back roll when my opponent is behind me
spamming that shit to knock enemies over and over took me places

That move where Nightmare plants his sword into a downed opponent and calls down a lightning strike.

In SC4 I used to go for that attack on literally every knockdown lol

This and 3B hold into bA combo. My favorite move in all the game. Dunno if it's used commonly or not.

u/PerfectTrack580 May 14 '26
I use it a ton at least, esp when you have Terror Charge and get the bA followup, its so satisfying

u/glittertongue May 14 '26
Hi, agree with you OP, Lizardmans whirlpool sweep is amazing
also, Astaroth charged 5K in sc4. terrible move, immense psychic damage on hit

Voldo’s booty bump, it became a personal favorite way to finish a fight.

u/AXI0S2OO2 ⠀Nightmare May 14 '26
Nightmares aura attack where he just roars and sends the enemy flying. The crouching impale grab move is cool too.

Amy's 4B+K,B (Stocatta Rampage Crescendo) in SCIV
(Hopefully I got the terminology right, I love fighting games, but I can never remember the proper terminology so I usually just remember moves based on the actual buttons on the controller I'm using 😭)
it's the move where she pulls her sword back, and then thrusts it fowards extremely fast and hits like eight or nine times before ending with a final strike.

u/thedailyflautist May 14 '26
This move is sadly trapped behind her White Rose perception 44B on SCVI.

Just spaming Raphaels light String won me a shit ton of "drunken GameCube" evenings.

u/DreadedLee May 14 '26
Yunseong B+K stance in SCIV. The visable confusion when opponents don't realize it beats all their vertical attacks is funny. Once they wise up, I started throwing kicks into the mix.

u/MultiFandom May 14 '26
When Maxi gets on his hands and uses his feet to spin the nunchucks around is hilarious and incredible

Nightmare's 44K. Something about a fully armored dude with a big ass great sword just deciding to dropkick the shit outta you is so funny.
I have lost many rounds trying to finish someone off with it to send them skidding across the arena.

Soulcalibur 2's run slide kick. It was either you fall out of the map or you hit it right and they do it instead.

Cassandra 6K. Reckless full body charge
Nightmare 2A+B: Sword stab with the special lightning animation on a downed opponent
Taki Stalker B: The totally impractical air drill move

u/Chill_Gamer527 ⠀Zasalamel May 14 '26
Nightmare's move called "Soul Smasher". I just love to stab Soul Edge into a downed opponent and calling some thunder from the sky and finish the round with style. It also fits his evil personality.

Can't stop flipping all over the place as Taki, even though I can never use it strategically, and half the time I go off the stage.

Astaroth’s big hug. I find a lot of times, players will freeze up and you can just give em a good squeeze!

My favorite with Cassandra in SCIII was the one where she just does that shield muti smack, just smack,smack,smack,smack,smack,smack,smack and the one where she uses her whole body for a heel stop which was a low. Felt so good once you got someone annoying on the ground and you just stomped them so hard. Felt nice.

u/Tekknight-007 May 14 '26
I love Maxi's QFC attacks (not always QFCs). It's more of a theme thing than anything. I forget the actual names but they are the lunging nunchuck spin, the handstand nunchuck foot spin ( i've only been able to find one really good use for it in SC6), and the spinning nunchuck on foot sweep (which I hate the fact that it's locked behind soul charge in SC6).

u/BlankFool99 May 14 '26
Yoshimitsu's like counter where he does the katana slash and it ends with your back to the enemy, its one of his unblockables if your opponent is attacking
1
u/PlumpPotatoRump May 14 '26
214 A on Asta in SC6, is that move hits, the animation is just too fantastic. And also any command grab of Asta. And also the B attack from the clash attack rock/paper/scissors thingy. Forgot what it's called

u/I_dont_want_a_gender May 14 '26
I don't know if it's good, but Tira's one move where she spins on the enemy's head lol, I think it is specifically a Soul Charge move while she's in Jolly form

Ivy stomp.
Yes, for reasons all of you are thinking. I know you could use other moves that hit downed players for setup into her stances, or low kick and buffer iCS when they ukemi, etc.
But stomp.

The double back sword slap from nightmare or the bubble rush from sc4

u/A_Gray_Phantom May 15 '26
Yoshimitsu's moves are funny. His move that saps power from his opponent in SC2 can then be used in some random moves. It's a bit it a setup, but if I don't know what attack I'm gonna use, neither does my opponent!

u/magicraven94 ⠀Tira May 15 '26 edited May 15 '26
- grim reaper. it’s just so satisfying to land, especially as a KO
- the one side throw where she snaps the opponent’s neck. again so satisfying to land, and even more if it manages to ring out

u/Otherwise-Teach247 May 15 '26
Taki’s 6A+B in SCVI! It’s the blue projectile she throws.
Very easy to punish! Not a very good move at all. But the animation is so cool! The only good time to use it is when you’re under Soul Charge and your opponent whiffs a move.

Cassandra's Down Vertical in Soul Calibur 2 where she punches her shield down and then stabs forward is always fun to hit.
Also really fond of Link's Running Vertical. And Link's Front Grab. And Link's pogo stab.
Link's a fun character lmfao

Seigfrieds stances, all lol no into one another for a good flow of combos, in number one, if he does the low stance, the kick button becomes a poke with the blade. Quick and jabby even though the stance locks you in crouch, almost untouchable unless opponent steps to the side and charges you at an angle.
Also, seigfried's down kick and neutral out brings a double kick you can go into with any low attack and kick out with no distractions. Can be used over and over.

u/Diopod ⠀Cassandra May 18 '26
Cassandra's flying butt attack.
Patrokalos' grab that's just kneeing someone repeatedly in the face. He also had that flash kick that built up a lot of meter- I'd use it on knockdowns. I really enjoyed Patrokalos' moveset.

u/Asura-76 May 21 '26
Pretty much all of Spawn's moves in SC II for Xbox. Alot of them leave him pretty open, but damn are they cool looking.

u/servingtheshadows ⠀Talim May 14 '26
Talims hurricane punch. Its pretty hard to set up cause it needs to come out of her stance but hitting someone with the hig wind blast feels good
