Top 5 Most Iconic Moves in Fighting Games

1-5

Moves that define the genre

Tasho Tashev
Gaming - September 7th 2020, 09:21 GMT+2
Falcon punch super smash bros
5. FALCON PUNCH (SUPER SMASH BROS. SERIES): The Falcon Punch is so famous that it transcended Super Smash Brothers. Captain Falcon first appeared in F-Zero and has become an absolute hit since then. The move itself is rather slow, but quite powerful and will often result a one-hit KO. (Image credit: Nintendo)
Wind god fist tekken
4. WIND GOD FIST (TEKKEN SERIES): The Wind God Fist is a signature move of Mishima family members in Tekken and a couple of other characters. It's basically a charge and an uppercut. Wind God Fist is hard to react to and new players often have difficulty executing it. (Image credit: Bandai Namco)
Raging demon sf
3. RAGING DEMON (STREET FIGHTER SERIES): Akuma's super move is the Raging Demon, also known as Shin Goku Satsu. While it's technically a command grab, making it easy to avoid, once landed it'll inflict massive damage to an opponent. (Image credit: Capcom)
Scorpion spear
2. SCORPION'S SPEAR (MORTAL KOMBAT SERIES): Get over here! Scorpion has been the mascot of Mortal Kombat for years and for a good reason. His spear move is often used to promote the franchise, whether it's a new movie, or a game. The move itself is rather risky and can easily get you punished if not used correctly. (Image credit: Netherrealm Studios)
Hadouken street fighter
1. THE HADOUKEN (STREET FIGHTER SERIES): Easily the most recognizable move in the fighting game genre. The Hadouken changed fighting games forever and you could even say it defined their core system. Nowadays, every fighting game has some sort of projectile but the Hadouken was there first. (Image credit: Capcom)
