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! --- E come vivo? Vivo! ... Copied to Clipboard!

Dragon Ball Super - Ultra Instinct Goku - Kamehameha
Not sure if context matters here but just in case, it's a ring-out tournament battle royale. Goku has unexpectedly re-awoken a form that allows him to dodge...pretty much anything, by letting his body react without waiting for his brain to send impulses to his limbs. You should be able to tell that the character he's fighting is pretty powerful just from the visual effects, but she's stronger than Goku (who is basically the 2nd strongest fighter in the 80 person tournament at this point) in his previously most powerful form, Super Saiyan Blue (basically a godly super saiyan). The Kamehameha itself is his signature move, a concentrated beam of his own energy or "ki" as it's called, as well as his most powerful attack that only uses his own energy (the Spirit Bomb is more powerful but he uses it so rarely and it also takes everyone else's energy too.) He doesn't always use it as just a finisher but it's essentially "his" move. He has taught it to his sons and there are a couple other people who know it but Goku and his son are really the only ones who know it that matter. --- I'm a greener egg than the eggs from dr. seuss ...

Fun fact! While the Kamehameha is one of Goku's three most famous techniques (the others being the Kaio Ken and the Spirit Bomb), it's not actually 'his' move! Goku only ever invented one singular technique, the Dragon Fist, which he used to defeat King Piccolo (and in one of the noncanon movies, Hildegarn): http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Dragon_Fist
All of his other moves were copied from someone else. Weird, huh? --- Shine on, you crazy diamond. ... Copied to Clipboard!

For Akuma, I'll go with the Street Fighter V version, because you can see a little bit of the opponent being attacked as well as the flashes and the ending pose. As for Sub-Zero, I gotta go with the original incarnation from Mortal Kombat 1, since that fatality is what made Mortal Kombat's name back in the early 90s. The Street Fighter V Shun Goku Satsu is in the second Akuma video I linked, and the Mortal Kombat 1 Spine Rip is the first one in that video.

...Shit I almost forgot to nom for this
Nominate: Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance - Blade Mode This is kind of a weird nomination because Raiden doesn't have a 'true' finisher, per se - you can Blade Mode at any time, more or less, so long as you have bar. BUT, and this is a big but, it's how every single boss is either phase-changed or finished, including the final boss. And it's highly cinematic and flashy. So if this doesn't count, what does? Nominate: G Gundam - Sekiha Love Love Tenkyoken I feel pretty confident in saying this is gonna be the most ridiculous attack on the list. Not because it's the most elaborate, or the most destructive, but because it's totally ludicrous. How do you defeat an infinitely regenerating god-machine with bullshit powers it makes up as the plot demands? You combine your soul with your significant other to summon the spirit of the Burger King to punch a heart-shaped hole through him, that's how. People hate this or love this with no middle ground, and for this reason it deserves to be here. Nominate: Getter Robo Armageddon - Stoner Sunshine Getter Robo Armageddon is probably the most beloved entry in the legendary Getter Robo franchise, one of the 'Big Three' of mecha anime alongside Gundam and Mazinger, and if you only catch a bit of it, it's kinda hard to see why, because it seems absurdly dark and needlessly edgy. ...And then you hit something like this and you realize it deserves every bit of praise it gets. The music, the very unique art style, and the amazing vocal deliveries, it all comes together to create one of the most famous giant robot finishers of all time. STONAAAAAAAAAAAAA! SUUUUUUUUUN! SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE! --- I'll see if I can come up with a fourth at some point, but I feel pretty confident in these three picks. --- Shine on, you crazy diamond. ... Copied to Clipboard!
