I had to take a bit of liberty with this since Raka's original video doesn't seem to actually show off the move. I hope Raka's cool with it since the closest equivalent I could find in his video didn't name the ability at all.

I'm a big fan of Lovecraft. Not as much as Snake, but that's impossible to compete with. Which is why I can't stand this fucking awful character. Fate was cool when it was spinning actual legendary figures and making them badass (and sometimes sexy) in their own way. Now it's just churning out bastardizations of bit players and throwing shit on them randomly. "Abigail Williams, one of the first accusers in the Salem witch trials? Obviously she's tied to Cthulhu!!!" Bitch, please. Also, why is she almost butt-naked despite being like 12? Yes, I know the answer why, but for fuck's sake, Japan. At least this is the one character they're kinda justified in making look young, but put some damn clothes on her.

But we're not here to talk about shitty characters. After all, even shittier characters are much higher on the list. We're here to talk about their sweet moves. And this is... not sweet at all. Uninspired, really. A keyhole in someone's head is lame as hell, and for some reason bad CGI tentacles come out because lolcthulhu. The point of Cthulhu isn't the tentacles. It's about the foreboding, the tense atmosphere, the dread and inevitability. I get none of that here, especially since somehow they get pulled into the keyhole? How did that happen exactly? It's just a lazy editing trick in an attempt to look badass in a "muahahaha they're trapped in my head all along," but we don't even see the tentacles pull the dude back in there. It just... happens. Whatever. This had so much potential, and it managed to fuck up in almost every way. Still, at least there was a shred of effort put into the concept, which is why this manages to avoid last place.
