I know a lot of people... okay, 3 of you wanted to see the MtG Block rankings come back, but I am hoping to host that at a convention panel this year, so I would rather give you guys the finished goods with all 25 blocks then.

Meanwhile, I am going to host a ranking I have wanted to do for a while and wont require me to sift through a billion pages of research. I was always the kid who imagined himself being in whatever I was watching and being able to do the biggest, coolest things the good guys (or even bad guys!) did. Finishing moves can tie into a characters personality, or they could be just plain awesome for awesomes sake. Either way, they hopefully deliver the hype.

So send me your finishing moves, and Ill put them through a totally objective and not biased at all formula to determine which ones are best.

Here there be rules:

What is a finishing move?

An important question; so glad you asked! For our purposes, a move/attack qualifies as a finishing move like this:
-The move must be signature to a specific character or small group of characters
-The move does not necessarily need to be a OHKO, but it should be advertised (in story or in mechanics) as the biggest weapon or attack a character has in their arsenal.
-The move should not be something used very frequently and nonchalantly. Use your own judgement.
-The move is allowed to be something that changes the environment of the fight as opposed to being a direct damaging attack.
-If a character is in multiple games/movies/whatever and their finishing move changes in between, any of those finishers can be nominated separately.
-If the move is not a physical or magical attack but might still fit the description, go for it and well see how it fares.

What kinds of media can I use?
If you can link a video of it here, you can use it. Anime, video games, wrestling, whatever, its all good. If there is special context that I need to know to understand the move/situation, tell me below the link.

How will Trdl grade these?
I plan to use the following system to grade these:

-Aesthetics: How cool does it look? Is this something 10-year-old Trdl would want to pretend he could do in front of his nerd friends?
-Dominance: How much does it portray its users strength and skill? This isnt necessarily just about how much damage it does (otherwise Mortal Kombat would run amok) but how badass it makes its user seem.
-Damn: How cool is it overall? Is it the kind of thing I will watch and involuntarily exclaim, Daaaaaaaamn!?

In the event of an overall tie score, Damn is the tiebreaker. If thats still tied, I will make the decision independently.

Other stuff:
-My goal is to hit 70 entries since this is not as involved as my other projects, but Im willing to go above that!
-Please format your entries as such:
Source Material Title Character(s) Attack Name Video Link
-4 nominations per person. I might open up a 5th later.
-Nominations will close in one week unless I announce an extension or we hit 100.
-I might tie some kind of prize to this. Not sure yet.

Let the nominations begin!
