I'll be honest -- I'm not sure why Wind of Destruction feels like such a dud. The graphics are pretty bad but that's kind of a product of the times. The move feels like a super generic JRPG finisher, but there are some others of those on here that are higher. I guess it just doesn't have any pizzazz. There's no real setup, and there's not much frame of reference. There isn't really a sign that this thing is dealing damage until the damage numbers pop onto the screen. For all I know, that vortex may well be made of laundry bleach. (Actually, that would probably be scarier!) Kinda similar to the previous one, there's that lack of believable "oomph" behind the blow(s).

It doesn't help that this dude's voice makes him sound like he's a mustache-twirl away from being snidely whiplash.
