CallingYourAttacks in video games.
----
* Notably, many Japanese 2D fighting games, such as ''Franchise/StreetFighter'' and ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters'' feature characters that shout the names of their signature attacks, famous examples from both being the Hadouken and the Genocide Cutter, respectively.
** The voice quality sometimes lead to amusing {{Mondegreen}}s (Sonic Boom/Alex Full! Tiger Uppercut/Tiger Robocop!).
** Naturally, this was done in the ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom'' series of fighting games, which features Western superheroes shouting out their attack names even when they never do so in the comics.
*** FOOT DIVE! HIGH KICK! HIDDEN MISSILES! PLASMA BEAM! MOLECULAR SHIELD!
*** Speaking of Marvel, even the ''VideoGame/XMenLegends'' games and ''VideoGame/MarvelUltimateAlliance'', which are developed by ''Western'' companies and are not fighting games, had the characters call their [[LimitBreak Xtreme super moves]]' names. Even more ridiculous when you consider that none of the Marvel moves in ''[=MvC=]'' had names as silly as SelfDemonstrating/{{Deadpool}}'s "Merc's Revenge" in the latter game. And yes, he shouts it in a serious manner. Well, as serious as [[CloudCuckooLander Deadpool]] gets, anyway. Sometimes the same attack would change names between Legends 1, Legends 2, and MUA, though some characters did get new ones.
----
* ''VideoGame/ArcRiseFantasia'': A number of spells and excel acts just have the characters saying the names of their spells/attacks when initiating them, while other times they just make up their own names for attacks that already have their own names.
* Every playable character in ''VideoGame/ArcTheLad: Twilight of the Spirits'' does this. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. A few preface the attack name with a little verse: "O Wind, Grandpa's sword the power of Justice! Windslasher!" "Feel my RAAAGE! Firestorm!" "O Icy Blizzard, rage of the Storm! Blizzard!"
* Despite being practically an Interactive action anime, for the most part, this is surprisingly avoided in ''VideoGame/AsurasWrath'' with the exception of Wyzen, who tends to yell out '''KURIKARA FUDO UCHI''' when using an attack where he falls from the sky massive [[PowerFist arm gauntlet]] first. He's the weakest overall of the 8 Guardian generals, in a bit of [[ButtMonkey Brutal]] {{Irony}}.
* In ''VideoGame/AtlanticaOnline'', all player characters call their magic skills every time they use them, on the lines of "[Enemy's name]! Take this! [Magic's name]!". ''Even with healing spells.''
* ''VideoGame/BatenKaitos'': In the GC version, before every finishing move.
** In Eternal Wings, Xelha and Mizuti, your magic-users, call ''every spell they use.'' Which gets very, VERY annoying when you get to the point where you can make them cast eight or nine spells in a row.
* It's a FightingGame, so one would expect characters in ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'' to call their attacks. Many do so, and do it well ("Baden Baden '''Lily!'''" should sound silly, but it works [[note]]It's Rachel. She can make ordering tea the most badass thing ever.[[/note]]). Special mention goes to HotBlooded {{Highly Visible|Ninja}} LargeHam Bang Shishigami, who often calls out more poetic names than his moves actually have and even goes so far as to announce "This is an ukemi!" That's right. He yells loudly to let his opponent know ''he's getting up after being knocked down.''
** Sometimes, the names Bang calls out for his attacks aren't even the right names. Ex. "Critical Super Crash!" for "Bang's Unstoppable Double Palm Thrust." He even has two slightly different names for an attack based on whether it is being used on the ground or in the air.
** Against personal rivals, the voices change to something relevant to the character pair.
*** "Baden Baden Lily!" becomes "Kneel before me, Ragna." (Rachel vs. Ragna)
*** "Fenrir, don't fail me! Nemesis stabilizer!" becomes "You're no longer my superior Jin Kisaragi. You're under arrest!" (Noel vs. Jin) or "Ragna the Bloodedge... [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments YOU'RE STUPID!!]]" (Noel vs. Ragna)
*** "Arctic Dagger!" becomes "Red Devil my ass!" (Jin vs. Tager)
*** "Optic Barrel" becomes "Hands off the panda!" (Noel vs. Litchi) ItMakesSenseInContext.
*** Even Makoto has this. Particle Flare alternates between two lines normally, but there are five variants.
---->"Watch this, friend! This is my... BEST SHOT!!" (Noel)\\
"I'll show you... everything... ''that I've learned!''" (Jin))\\
"''Tsubaki!!'' Please wake up... ''with this one last blow!!''" (guess)\\
"'Superior' my ass! ''You're lower than dirt!'' It's time for a '''mutiny!!'''" ([[spoiler:Hazama]])\\
"You're a colonel, and I don't give a crap! '''EAT IT, CREEPER!!'''" ([[spoiler:Relius]])
* Parodied in ''VideoGame/BloodyRoar'', wherein the MadScientist Busuzima has one attack in which he simply kicks his opponent while shouting "Kick!" Otherwise played straight by a few characters, with Busuzima himself having another combo wherein he punches his opponent four times, [[PunctuatedForEmphasis shouting each syllable of his name in time with them]].
* ''VideoGame/BrutalLegend'': DECAPITATIOOOON!
** "FACE MELTERRRR!"
** "[[Music/LedZeppelin BRING IT ON HOME!]]"
* Playing ''VideoGame/{{Bujingai}}'' involves Creator/{{Gackt}} calling his magics as he cast them.
* ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}''
** In ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaPortraitOfRuin'', when playing as Charlotte, she will call out the name of any spell if you super-charge it before releasing. Whenever you switch between Charlotte and Johnathan, the character [[SayMyName shouts the name of the other character]]. Also, whenever you use a combination spell, both characters will simultaneously shout the name of the spell.
** Both of these carry over into ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaHarmonyOfDespair'', although since Charlotte loses her spell charging ability, now she just yells out attack names whenever she casts something. Unless she's still yelling out the name of the ''last'' attack she did.
** In ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaOrderOfEcclesia'', sometimes Shanoa will call her magic attacks, usually with simple words like "Flame!" or "Lightning!" When playing as [[spoiler: Albus]], however, [[spoiler: he]] calls the name of almost everything [[spoiler: he]] does [[LargeHam as loud as one possibly can]]. And then there is of course Dracula himself: "Dark Inferno!" "Fatal Ray!" "Destruction Ray!"
** Perhaps the earliest example under the franchise would be in ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaSymphonyOfTheNight'' with "SOUL STEAL!!!"
* Played straight in ''VideoGame/DanballSenki'' with double servings for each FinishingMove. The player calls out "Hissatsu function" and then the control device calls the name of the attack.
* You'd think a series as wonderfully OTT as ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry'' would exhibit this gratuitously. You'll be wrong. Averted in ''1'' and ''2'', where Dante speaks only guttural warcries as he uses his moves. Subverted in ''3'', where he gets them wrong. Quite wrong. Perhaps the most glaring example is the super-uppercut "Real Impact", where he ends up shouting "Rising Dragon", a differently executed uppercut for which he only spares said guttural warcry.
** Similar to this trope, however, in the 4th installment, Dante will call out the names of his styles as he changes to them if he's standing still ("Trickster!" "Royal Guard!" "Gunslinger!" "Swordmaster!") with an accompanying pose. If you use the style swap mid-combo (and you probably will), he says a cut-down version and skips the pose so as not to interrupt himself, i.e. "Sword!" [[spoiler: When switching to Vergil's Dark slayer style, which he acquires late in the game, he calls out something other than the style's name. You still get a pose though.]]
* Some of main characters and cameo characters in the ''Franchise/{{Disgaea}}'' series call their attacks (Though sometimes only with the Japanese audio on). Notable examples include Zetta's "[[EyeBeams ZETTA BEEEAM!]]" and Kurtis' "[[RocketPunch ROKETTO PAUNCH!]]"
** In Disgaea D2, Flonne becomes "Pure Fallen Angel of Love, Flonne" during the penultimate chapter. She proceeds to constantly scream out her attack names or technique names in overly flamboyant ways. Laharl at one point asks if that is necessary, to which Flonne admits what she's yelling is actually completely irrelevant to the use of her powers. Laharl then yells at her to stop. Additionally, Laharl points out that most of the battles in said chapter were due to Flonne's flamboyant yelling which keeps attracting enemy attention.
* The ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy'' series provides a dual example; when a character uses any attack, they call out something to do with the attack, or dare the opponent to dodge of withstand them (if not a simple {{kiai}}), and, whenever a character uses a HP attack, [[PaintingTheMedium a little text box appears onscreen with the name of the attack being used, with the art style being the same as boxes used in the game the character originated from.]] [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV Cecil and Kain]] are particularly elaborate offenders, being medieval-style knights.
-->'''Cecil:''' ''[using Saint's Dive]'' Beneath the light... COMES JUDGEMENT!\\
'''Kain:''' ''[using Rising Drive]'' Engrave! DRAGON'S FANG!
* In ''VideoGame/{{Dota 2}}'', most of the Heroes (some more than others) often either say the name, effect of, or a slang term for their spells immediately after casting them, especially spells that are used specifically against enemies, as long as they don't just outright taunt them ([[WorldOfPun or make an]] [[{{Pun}} Incredibly Lame Pun]] at them).
** [[Characters/Dota2RadiantStrength Earthshaker]] is a pretty notable one.
--->"Fissure!"\\
"Enchant!"\\
(casting Echo Slam:) "SLAMMIN'!" or [[VideoGame/BarkleyShutUpAndJamGaiden "CHAOS DUNK!"]]
*** And some other variations.
** Tusk will say some variation on Walrus PUNCH! ("x Punch!") accompanied by large red text reading "WALRUS PUNCH!" next to his target every time it's used on a hero. (On a creep, though, he'll say something like "Disappointing punch!" or "Moderately painful punch!" accompanied by small blue text reading "Penguin Punch!" next to it.)
** [[DoomyDoomsOfDoom Doom, upon casting his ultimate "Doom", will almost always say something along the lines of "YOU'RE DOOMED!"]]
** Skywrath Mage often says the exact name of his abilities upon using them, most of which have low cooldowns, and ''all'' of which are castable spells.
** Surprisingly ''not'' done for the loveable and [[LargeHam extremely hammy]] MotorMouth Storm spirit, despite saying something literally ''every time'' he uses his no-cooldown ultimate. Same thing goes for his other low-cooldown abilities.
** Taken UpToEleven with [[PowerCopying Rubick (who can steal spells)]] and has a bunch of lines recorded for when he's casting ''other hero's skills'', potentially letting him call out attacks for just about every single spell in the game, only depending on how extensively Valve has recorded/will record additional lines for him in the future.
* In ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'' series, most notably in ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]]'', this is Justified for users of the [[MakeMeWannaShout Thu'um]], the draconic LanguageOfMagic. [[OurDragonsAreDifferent Dragons]], those who are [[TheChosenOne Dragonborn]], and other mortals who [[CharlesAtlasSuperpower study for years to learn to use it]] use the Thu'um to do things like command elements into existence. By shouting the words for say, [[BreathWeapon breathing fire]], they are literally [[RealityWarper commanding fire into existence]].
* All the playable characters do this in ''VideoGame/EternalSonata'', although only after racking up twenty-four consecutive hits. Some (such as Beat or Polka) use simple phrases, others (Viola, Frederic) make slightly lengthier statements and some (Falsetto and March) almost hit full-on soliloquy territory. Compare these two:
-->'''Beat:''' This is it for you! Fire Blast!\\
'''Falsetto:''' By lightning and thunder will you be thrown. By wind will you be scattered! Heaven and earth! Howling Thunder!
** The human villains of the game do it as well.
--->'''Waltz''': Ahahahaha! Ahahahahaha! What a joyous feeling! I'll let you have a taste of it as well! Apocalypse Fall!
%%* Most characters in ''VideoGame/FatalFury'' do this.
* In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'', players will often set up a macro to call their attack when they use a limit break or a particularly strong ability. A later-game boss then pretends that it's a vital part of the attack mechanism.
-->'''Omega:''' [[DeadpanSnarker Assessing necessity of vocalization. Confirmed.]]
* Ability names are displayed when used in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyTactics'', but occasionally the character using them will call them out with a descriptive preface. "Destruction of nature, gather in flame...Fire!" Removed from the English version of the PSP remake.
* Llednar Twem of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyTacticsAdvance'' pauses before his strike, but after charging energy, to say exactly what he is going to inflict upon the main character. The attack, Omega, is illegal to use in the area, and the Judgemaster takes the time when Llednar is reciting a descriptive poem to arrest him.
** Llednar always calls his attack when using Omega, but the objective in all previous battles with him is to [[HopelessBossFight stay out of Omega's range.]]
** In its [[AudioAdaptation radio drama]], every character calls '''every ability they did''' but just plain "Fight", like in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyTactics''.
* Owain, a character in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'', parodies this as all of his attacks are either a TitleDrop of a past game or a MythologyGag.
* Played for laughs in a cutscene in ''Flagstaff: Chapter One'' when the king, upset at having mud tracked all over his favorite rug by insane royal guardsmen, hits one that tries to attack him while yelling "Kiiiiing PUNCH!"
* ''VideoGame/GearsOfWar'': Boomers call out "BOOM!", and so on. They achieve a sort of NarmCharm with their calls.
* ''VideoGame/GigaWing'': '''''"REFLECTO FOOOOOOOOOORCE!"'''''
* Many characters in ''VideoGame/GranblueFantasy'' shout their Charge Attack's names out loud. If it is a unique skill or a SignatureMove, expect that it will also be called out as well.
* ''VideoGame/{{Grandia}}'': This trope is subverted and played straight in all games. Some spells and special attacks are just called by name, but with others, exactly what the castor says depends on his or her personality. For example, in ''VideoGame/GrandiaIII'', these are what the following characters say when they use Heal or Healer on themselves:
-->'''Yuki:''' I'll be fine.\\
'''Alfina''' or '''Dhana:''' I call upon the healing power of the stars.\\
'''Miranda:''' This should feel refreshing!\\
'''Alonso:''' Time to juice up!\\
'''Ulf:''' What would I do without this?
* ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear'''s biggest offender is Sol Badguy by far, but every character has one or two attacks they like to shout out in GratuitousEnglish, mostly their signature moves like Ky's "RAIDO ZA LAITONINGU!" or Potemkin's "HEAVENLY POTEMKIN BUSUTAAAH!"
* ''Franchise/DotHack '' does this of course. It's simulating an MMORPG so it's justified.
* ''VideoGame/TheHalloweenHack'': Unlike the typical Mother final boss, Dr. Andonuts announces his attacks in a dramatic fashion, telegraphing everything he does.
* PlayedForLaughs in ''VideoGame/Halo5Guardians''[='s=] Firefight mode, where the [[MiniMecha Goblin]]'s Grunt pilot will actually call out his attacks like he's in a {{Super Robot|Genre}} anime. ("Hyper Attack!", "Needle Blast!", "Robo Punch!", etc.)
* In the VideoGame/HeadSports series, all characters announce the name of their Power/Ability Shot before using it.
* In ''VideoGame/HyperPrincessPitch'', FinalBoss Mecha Santa announces each of his combat techniques. Pitch herself announces her FinishingMove.
* In ''VideoGame/JimmyAndThePulsatingMass'', this is actually a gameplay feature: calling your attack will make it deal double damage on the next round, but you'll lose the buff if you're startled.
* Many of the characters in the ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' series will do this, especially boss characters, although series protagonist Sora seldom if ever calls out the actual name of the technique he's using ("Deepfreeze" for Blizzard, "Wind" for Aero, etc.).
** For Sora and Donald it seems to be linked to using magic and thus could be a normal part of spellcasting.
** [[BonusBoss Optional Superboss]] [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Sephiroth's]] calling of his attacks was notoriously difficult to understand, leading to his most powerful technique "Descend Heartless Angel" being almost universally [[{{Mondegreen}} misheard]] as "Sin Harvest."
* The characters in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfDragoon'' call the names of Dragoon magic before hitting opponents with it. They also call the names of their regular ComboAttacks, albeit ''after'' having whacked the enemy with it.
* ''VideoGame/LegendOfLegaia'': The three playable characters always shout out their attack names, but in Japanese, as there isn't an English language track. A few of the attacks have multiple incantations, though, and a very select few are in accented-English, such as Tornado Flame. The sequel has English voice-over work, and the characters also announce all signature moves.
* During a quest in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'', a goron named Gonguron screams "GORON POWER, GOOO!!!" before starting digging like a maniac in a cave to reveal [[spoiler: a shrine]].
* Characters in ''VideoGame/LufiaCurseOfTheSinistrals'' have voice clips while attacking and using special attacks. Some attacks do have the characters call out the given name of the attack (Guy's Volcanic Impact, Selan's Ice Blade, Dekar's Exploding Fist, and Artea's Trident Arm and Javelin Rain).
** When using third-level {{Charged Attack}}s, Maxim and Guy may shout "Phoenix Swing!" or "Blast Storm!" respectively. "Blast Storm" is the name of Guy's "Hurricane Hammer" in the Japanese version.
* In ''VideoGame/MarvelSuperHeroesVsStreetFighter'' and ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcomClashOfSuperHeroes'' the '''announcer''' will call your attacks. That is, if your Super Combo Finish connects. Abandoned in ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom2'', likely due to the sheer volume of audio clips required (usually 2-3 super combos per character, 56 playable characters in all).
** In ''Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter'', you got the callout only if the super ended the fight (hey, old school!). The exception was Dan's Super Taunt, for obvious reasons. Marvel vs. Capcom only said "Hyper combo finish!", although you did get to see the name of the super on the screen.
*** Cyber Akuma didn't get his supers called. At least not in the PSX version. Instead we got "Hyper Combo Finish!"
** Particularly jarring in the live-action SoBadItsGood movie ([[Film/StreetFighter the first one]]), where most of the actors are Western, and the only character who calls their attacks is (wait for it) British fighter Cammy, who inexplicably shouts "Front Kick!" when she does one of her special moves, which is... er, a front kick.
*** "Thrust Kick" was the name of her "Cannon Spike" technique in the international versions of ''Super Street Fighter II'' until it was changed back in the ''Versus'' and ''Alpha'' series. The "Front Kick" is most likely a Mondegreen on the actresses part.
** In ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters'' Terry Bogard has his [[IntentionalEngrishForFunny BUSTA]] [[MemeticMutation WOLF!!!]]
* ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'' on the Xbox 360 has support for Kinect voice commands, letting you invoke this trope by calling your attacks to use them. Or by using control panels by shouting "Activate!"
* In ''VideoGame/MegaManStarforce 3'', Geo calls out his Big Bang attacks: "Atomic Blazer!" "Elemental Cyclone!"
* ''VideoGame/MegaManX'' will say "Hadouken" when executing the secret hidden instant-kill technique.
** He'll also call the names of special weapons in ''X8'' and ''[[VideoGameRemake Maverick Hunter X]]''. I dunno why. He didn't in [[VideoGameLongRunners the previous]] ''7'' games.
*** Zero also does this in X8.
** Likewise, when voice acting was added to the original series in ''VideoGame/MegaMan8'', every single Robot Master did this with their signature weapon, and a few did it for their other attacks as well.
*** Along with Mega Man himself. "Flame Sword!" "Tornado Hold!" ''[[MostAnnoyingSound Ad nauseum.]]''
*** He only did it during the "[weapon] get" sequences. He never actually called them out while doing them (although he did in his Marvel vs. Capcom appearances).
*** [[MostAnnoyingSound BURN! BURN! BURN! Burn to the ground! BURN! BURN! BU-BURN! Burn to thBURN!]]
* Within ''Videogame/MetalGearSolidPeaceWalker'' are several examples, most notably from the AI weapons in game which announce what weapon they are going to use. Or [[spoiler: The special ending where Vladimir shouts "PEEEEEEAAAACE ROCKET!"]] Also seen in ''Videogame/MetalGearSolidVThePhantomPain'' with the Rocket Arm upgrade for Snake's bionic arm. When firing it, Snake will yell [[RocketPunch "ROCKET PUUUUUUNCH!!"]], among other phrases, which is especially humorous given that it's primarily a game about sneaking and staying quiet.
* ''VideoGame/MischiefMakers'' has THE Beastector, who call out the names of their respective vehicles, "Beast Change!" for them to transform, and Lunar also yells his vehicle's name when transitioning to the final part of his boss fight (and "You're mine!" for some of his melee attacks, making him the most vocal of the three). He also does the only sort-of calling the attack in the final boss fight, when THE Beastector is fighting in their [[CombiningMecha combined vehicles]]. When the robot jumps into the background and performs the Mazinger-like chest beam, Lunar yells "Through fire, justice is served!".
* In ''VideoGame/MitsumeteKnight'', two of the enemy Eight Generals, [[MightyGlacier Borankio]] [[DeathSeeker the Unshakable]] and [[FragileSpeedster Salishuan]] [[BonusBoss the Spy]], are guilty of this with their respective [[LimitBreak Special Attacks]], the "[[EverythingsBetterWithSpinning Hasai Senpu]]" and the "[[WhyAmITicking Precise Kill]]". Bonus points for Borankio, as he shouts "[[FinishingMove Hissatsu !]]" before "Hasai Senpu !".
** And then there's [[EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses Priscilla]] who uses this trope in a comic way [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLafyg--Dwo#t=5m18s in of her Events]], shouting "Flower Hurricane !!" when throwing flowers around her, and "Double Flower Hurricane !!" when the player joins her.
* In ''VideoGame/NamcoXCapcom'', some characters call their attack names when attacking.
* In the VideoGame/NancyDrew game ''Danger by Design'', you can pick up a book on the martial art "Ichi-do," where it details 9 attacks that each have their own battle cry. [[ExploitedTrope Knowing where your opponent is going to hit]] helps with [[spoiler:defeating Minette]].
* Some of the characters in ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes'', including Travis, play this perfectly straight… but more noteworthy is Destroyman, a send up of {{Toku}} heroes who deconstructs or parodies this -- his weakness is ''specifically'' that his overblown posturing and JustForFun/{{egregious}} attack calling makes it easy to see his attacks coming, dodge, and counter.
** Destroyman can't help it, even if he knows it's the flaw in his battle strategy. His weapon, the SFX Converter, is made so that it'll automatically do an attack by calling the attack. He needs to call out the attacks or he can't use any attack except his melee attack.
** Travis seems to have stolen some of his attack names from the ShowWithinAShow anime he's fond of, given that its main characters are Blueberry, Cranberry and Strawberry...
** Shinobu does this too with attacks like "Sonic Sword!", "Bloody Sundae!", and "Black Tuesday!".
** [[spoiler: Dr. Letz Shake]] gets in on this a little in the sequel, despite the RoboSpeak. "BATTLE CRY!"
* Creator/{{Bungie}}'s heavily anime-influenced game ''VideoGame/{{Oni}}'', which greatly encourages fisticuffs over gunplay and does its best to run the gamut of Asian sci-fi's most entertaining tropes. Both the protagonist Konoko and bad guys call attacks. Konoko (voiced by Anime regular Amanda Winn Lee) has "Devil Spin Kick!" and "Rising fury!", and even low-level mooks, Strikers in the nomenclature of the game, have "Strikerrrrr-SLAM!". Everyone gets cool reverb effects, particularly the Furies (female strikers) with "Tennnnnn-SHADOW!" punch combos.
* Spoofed a few times in ''VideoGame/OsuTatakaeOuendan'': the ramen chef in the "Linda Linda" stage of [=OTO1=] has "Ultimate Secret Techniques" for cleaning, cutting vegetables, and making noodles, while the barber in the "Julia ni Shoushin" stage of [=OTO2=] calls out the hairstyles he's doing.
* ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'': A few characters call out their ultimate abilities when using them, like Torbjorn's "MOLTEN COOORE!" and Doomfist's "Meteor Strike!" (Doomfist also calls out "Rising Uppercut!"). Other characters have a specific line for their ultimate that functions the same way, from a gameplay standpoint: hearing Reaper yell "Die! Die! DIE!", for example, means that somewhere, an enemy Reaper is using Death Blossom.
* ''VideoGame/PhantasyStarOnline2'' has an odd example in the form of the Dragon EX, who's much more talkative then the other boss dragons, as it telepathically calls out the fancy names of some of its mostly mundane looking slashing attacks that it performs using its sword/shield arms.
* Inverted in ''VideoGame/{{Prototype}}'', where Cpt. Cross's calling out of his need to reload, and hence ''inability to attack'', shows to the player when to start counterattacking.
* ''VideoGame/{{Psychonauts}}'' parodies this, in its Godzilla pastiche level "Lungfishopolis", with a boss named Kochamara who is a master of this technique. His shouts include "Mighty RAM!, "Mighty ram GROUND VERSION!" "Hard to avoid AREA ATTACK!" and the notorious "Overly intricate COMBINATION!" Also "Deadly TRIANGLEBEAM!"
* Disco Kid in ''VideoGame/PunchOut'' for the Wii will shout "Here it comes!" before making swipes. It's almost easier to list the fighters who ''don't'' call their attacks when it comes to the Wii version.
* A [[http://www.riftgame.com/en/classes/warrior/paragon.php short story]] on the ''VideoGame/{{Rift}}'' website describes historical warrior Won Odego yelling "Strike like iron!" and "Way of the Mountain!" when activating [[DualWielding paragon]] abilities.
* ''VideoGame/{{Romancing SaGa 3}}'' invokes this by having the attack's name in a speech bubble above the character's head before they initiate the attack. However, this also occurs when a character gains a stat bonus.
* ''VideoGame/RuneScape'' is mostly free of this trope, but certain Dungoneering bosses will call their attacks, warning players of what is coming. [[AnIcePerson To'Kash the Bloodchiller]] is the first one players are likely to encounter, with three calls for his special attack: "Sleep now... In the bitter cold" a few seconds beforehand, "DEEP FREEZE!" as he encases the player(s) in ice and "I will shatter your soul!" when he smashes said ice. Experienced players use this against him and leave the room until after he's finished the attack. Har'Lakk the Riftsplitter will also call his portal attacks, with "A flame portal will flush you out!", "Taste miasma!" and "This will cut you down to size!", summoning an area of flame, poison or stat-reducing goop.
* The ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTenseiPersona'' series:
** Averted in the original ''VideoGame/{{Persona}}'', but played straight for the ultimate techniques in both installments of ''VideoGame/{{Persona 2}}'', and for the ultimate CombinationAttack that is a result of said ultimate techniques coming together. Particularly amusing in the Japanese versions, since they were all (sometimes silly sounding) English names.
--->Bubbry Lovah!\\
Uh Broody Honeymoooon!
** In ''VideoGame/{{Persona 3}}'', the character will occasionally shout out the names of their personas when summoning them. Which makes sense for the main character, who can change personas at will, [[FridgeLogic but why would the other shout them out]]? Occasionally the characters will say something other than their persona's name during a Critical Summon, but a few are annoying.
-->'''Yukari:''' I SWEAR ON MY LIFE!!!
** This applies to ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}'' as well. The only attack call that's 100% consistent is the obligatory shout of "PERSONA!", which is both noncommittal and quite effective. Also, the whole attack calling thing is kind of awkward if you have [[OlympusMons Satan or Lucifer]] equipped at the time...
** While calling the actual names of the attacks used is averted in the [=RPGs=], it is played straight in the 2D {{Fighting Game}}s, ''VideoGame/Persona4Arena'' and ''VideoGame/Persona4ArenaUltimax''. Special and super moves based on skills in the [=RPGs=] sometimes have their names called out by the characters when used.
** ''VideoGame/{{Persona 5}}'' again has characters shout "Persona!" or the actual name of their GuardianEntity when summoning them, and they'll sometimes call out their CombinationAttack (which applies to previous games as well). The main character will also use some of the lines of characters from previous ''Persona'' titles if using one of the DLC Persona taken from their game. Also, the first BossBattle, Asmodeus, will tell you he's about to use his "Super Death Spike" exploding volleyball attack the turn before he actually hits you with it.
* ''VideoGame/SkiesOfArcadia'': Most of the techniques used by the heroes and some of the bosses use their name or a form of it in a phrase during the attack itself. They also call attacks made by their ships.
-->'''Vyse:''' [[WaveMotionGun MOON STONE CANNON]], ''FIRE!''
* ''VideoGame/SlyCooperAndTheThieviusRaccoonus'' has the Panda King doing this with his [[KillItWithFire Flame-Fu]] ("Fiery Wheel!", "Paaalms of Thundah!" etc.).
* ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'': "CHAOS CONTROL!"
** [[VideoGame/SonicColors "Laser! Drill! Spikes! Cube! Rocket! Hover! Frenzy!"]]
*** [[AllYourColorsCombined "Final Color Blaster!"]]
* In ''VideoGame/SpaceChannel5'', Ulala and her enemies say their cues. If they didn't, the game would be unbeatable.
* This happens in ''VideoGame/StarFoxZero'' of all games during a secret mission in which you play as Peppy. He yells out "BARREL ROLL!" whenever he performs the evasive maneuver.
* ''VideoGame/StarOcean''. Practically all voiced characters in the series do this. Like ''Tales'' below, such calling of attacks has been in Star Ocean since the humble beginnings on the Super Famicom.
** ''VideoGame/StarOceanTheLastHope'': Everyone in the cast does this. [[WhiteMagicianGirl Sarah]]... [[TheDitz tries to do this]].
--->''"Lighting, uh, uh, something!''
* ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'':
** ''[[VideoGame/SuperMarioRPG Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' has a status condition called mute, which prevents affected characters from using special attacks. They are also shown with a bandage over their mouths, suggesting this trope.
** In ''VideoGame/SuperMario64 DS'', [[Characters/{{Wario}} Wario]] does this with a simple punch. "Punch! Punch! Yah!"
* Being an amalgamation of a great many HumongousMecha anime, ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'' has more of this than even entire series of fighting anime. Although just about everyone does it, OriginalGeneration character and AscendedFanboy [[VideoGame/ShinSuperRobotWars Ryusei Date]] has a particular joy for doing this, even when simply letting off a couple shots in a {{Real Robot|Genre}}, to the point where he initially gets some funny looks from the other characters. It seems to be infectious, as those same characters end up using this trope more and more as the games go on.
** Also, Irm in Grungust. "[[{{BFS}} CALAMITY SWORD -- DARKNESS SLASH!]]"
** A somewhat odd example exists in that there is technically an attack that ''everyone'' calls out, no matter their predilection to doing so normally. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISQIKZTr5d4 The]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-EmFkf-jUk infamous]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3zJCj0l5lk Gespenst]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1Whnv2KS2o Kick]] seems to cause pretty much anyone who uses it to suddenly become markedly HotBlooded and scream the name of the attack at the top of their lungs. Hilariously, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcTNymCqzuk the anime]] suggests that the reason everyone does this is that they actually ''have'' to shout it out in order to execute the Gespenst Kick properly.
--->'''SHOUT NOW!!'''
** The more comedic characters occasionally get the attack names wrong, or just make something up because they don't remember.
--->'''[[Anime/MartianSuccessorNadesico Ryoko Subaru]]:''' ''GEKIGAN FLARE!'' [[GotMeDoingIt Wait, what the hell am I saying?]]
* ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'':
** Captain Falcon -- originally of the ''F-Zero'' racing titles -- calls out his painfully slow (but extremely powerful) signature move, the "Falcon... PUNCH!!!" (He also calls a faster "Falcon Kick" attack.)
** Also, in ''Brawl'', when Snake fights Falcon and uses his codec, he and Otacon lampoon this by saying they've always wanted to do something...unlike [[HoYay what you're thinking]], they do a laudably over-the-top "FALCON PUUUUUNCH!" "FALCON KIIIIICK!".
** In the same series, Ness calls out his "PSI" moves: "PK Thunder," "PK Fire," & "PK Flash."
** Kirby, after copying Falcon's or Ness's powers, also calls out the attack names, but in his insanely cuter, higher-pitched voice. "[[MemeticMutation Fawcon Punch!]]"
** In a strange example, if Kirby copies R.O.B. he'll yell out "BEEEEP!" when firing his laser eyes.
** Likewise, when copying [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Pikachu's]] powers he calls out "[[PokemonSpeak Pikachu!]]" just like the Mon is so known for.
** ''Brawl'' adds Lucas (which follows Ness) and Ike, who calls his signature move, Aether. Some other characters also call their Final Smashes.
** The 4th installment gives us [[VideoGame/FireEmblem Robin]] the [[TheStrategist tactician]] [[BlackMage mage]], who yells the names of the various spells which [[PurelyAestheticGender he or she]] attacks with, as well as [[GuestFighter Ryu]], true to ''Franchise/StreetFighter'' tradition.
** [[Franchise/KidIcarus Palutena]] is a slight subversion, as she does say the names of her attacks, but in a pleasant calm voice: shout outs go to "Autoreticle" and "Angelic Missile".
* Every game in the ''VideoGame/TalesSeries'' uses this whenever a character uses a special move. In case of spellcasters, high-level spells often include a lengthy chant during the casting. And yes, that includes ''VideoGame/TalesOfPhantasia'' on the SNES, courtesy of the Flexible Voice Driver.
** [[MemeticMutation INDIGNATION!]]
** [[GratuitousEnglish Fasuto Eido!]]
** ''VideoGame/TalesOfDestiny2'' (the actual Japanese-only Destiny 2 for UsefulNotes/{{P|layStation2}}S2, not the renamed Eternia) spoofs this practice by giving Loni Dunamis a LimitBreak consisting of 15 kanji, which also has the unique property of having the ingame title pop up one kanji at a time when it is used.
** In the same game, Barbatos Goetia has this has an incredibly hammy art form ("SHAKUNETSU NO BURN STRIKE!" "GENOCIDE BRAVER!"), but aside from that, when fighting him, the usual arte name tag at the top of the screen will also display sentences and phrases presumably shouted by Barbatos mid battle depending on what arte he used or how the player acted against him (Such as "Eat this, my Tres Assault arte!" or "Don't try running away from me!") Naturally if you used an item, he'd immediately hit you with a spell while the arte tag instead said "Don't use items!" And one thing led to another and that particular phrase became a Mystic Arte all on its own.
*** The same move would later be given to Malik Caesar in ''VideoGame/TalesOfGraces f'', where it's made even more over the top by changing the camera angle as each part of attack's name is announced. It's known as "Tremorous Celestial Sundering Shredding Light of Cyclonic Butchery" in the English version. Or "Tremorous Celestial etc." for short, because the full name is too long to fit in the artes menu.
** To reduce redundancy, ''VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia'' introduced more than one shout for artes, and Raven completely averts this trope with most of his melee artes. ''Destiny Remake'' and ''Hearts'' likewise have characters say different things for every use of an arte beyond the first (usually a grunt or a simple battlecry), since their systems allowed freestyle comboing, including spamming, something most games in the series don't have.
*** [[AC: I'LL BLOW YOU AWAY! DESTRUCT-DESTRUCT-DESTRUCT-DESTRUCT-DESTRUCT-DESTRUCT-DESTRUCTION FIELD!!!]] If that doesn't get your blood boiling, nothing will.
*** Repede is a [[NonHumanSidekick badass dog]] and cannot talk, but his artes still have names. The first time he does his Mystic Arte, it shows up as ???. This triggers a skit where the other character debate over what to name the move. They settle on "Slash!" and this becomes its new title.
** Hermana of ''VideoGame/TalesOfInnocence'' actually yells "Puuuunch~" and "Kiiiiiiick~" for some of her moves.
** When [[VideoGame/TalesOfHearts Kohaku's]] Spiria isn't fully fixed yet, her attack callouts are fittingly monotone.
* ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'': Saxton Hale lives and breathes this trope, though he usually prefers to yell his own name rather than the name of his attack.
** It's possible that the Pyro is calling out the name of the Hadoken in its taunt kill, but since it's TheUnintelligible all anybody ever hears is a muffled yell.
** The Engineer announces himself whenever he's building a Teleporter, Dispenser, or Sentry (and also cries out if any of them get sapped our destroyed).
** All of the Mercs also call out the names of any spells they acquire while playing in Helltower (the Halloween Payload Race event).
* Fifi in ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures: Defenders of the Universe'' calls out her special attack whenever she uses it. "Le Odor of Love!"
* The ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'' series is pretty unique among [[ShootEmUp shmups]] in that most of the bosses' attack patterns are all different named attack spells, with the spell name displayed onscreen when it is cast. In-universe, declaring the name of your attack before you use it is one of the rules of [[WizardDuel Spell Card duels]], the [[DuelsDecideEverything primary means of resolving conflicts in Gensokyo]].
** [[ILoveNuclearPower Utsuho Reiuji]] uniquely adds ''[[BossWarningSiren bright yellow CAUTION! signs and a warning klaxon]]''.
* Player characters in the {{M|assivelyMultiplayerOnlineRolePlayingGame}}MORPG ''VideoGame/TreeOfSavior'' vocally announce what skill they're casting--though this is more common among the Cleric and Wizard class families than it is the Swordsman and Archer ones, who are more given to {{Kiai}} and battle shouts when using skills.
* The sword techniques used by the [[BadassFamily Takamachi family]] in ''VisualNovel/TriangleHeart3SweetSongsForever'' also have the names appear in lettering for the audience.
* In ''VideoGame/UncommonTime'', the {{Limit Break}}s all involve the characters doing this, along with an additional dramatic line.
-->'''Alto:''' The hatred, the hope... All of it is my power! Disappear!! Grand Concerto!
* In ''Videogame/ValkyrieProfile2Silmeria'', all characters call out their FinishingMove at the end of their little speech while performing it. For mortals and einherjar, the speech ends with "Finishing Strike: (name of attack)". The gods finish with the shout "Divine Assault: (name of attack)".
** This is also done in ''VideoGame/ValkyrieProfile'', with the addition of Suo's call of 'Ougi!', Badrach's 'Deathblow', and Jun's "Mugen no kensen, Blade Art, Senko-Jin!" Not to mention the mages who call all their spells... and go into a full {{invocation}} for Great Magics...
** Ditto ''VideoGame/ValkyrieProfileCovenantOfThePlume'' too.
* In ''Vattroller X'', most characters summon a creature when they use their {{Smart Bomb}}s. [[Manga/OnePiece Zoro]] however, having nothing to summon, just has a bunch of text appear over his head instead.
* In ''VideoGame/ViewtifulJoe'', the first time you fight Captain Blue, he shouts, "Captain Blue kick!" For some reason, he does not do this in the next battle. Other characters get into it, too. Joe calls out his "Red Hot Kick!" move, while Alastor calls out almost all of his moves.
* In the ''VideoGame/WingCommander'' franchise, fellow pilots often announce torpedo attacks. Judging by ''Real Life'' example below, that's a decent imitation of standard dogfighting protocol.
* ''VideoGame/TheWonderful101'': Wonder-Red does it constantly. It's even parodied in the final attack where he starts to recite his ridiculous super extra long attack name. Wonder-Blue tries to get Red to attack already but only gets punched in return.
* In ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'', bosses tend to do this -- mainly the reason is to give the player some time to dodge a devastating attack.
** For example: BOOOOOOOONNEEEEEE-STOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRMMMMM!
** Nefarian is notorious for this, having short speeches for his attacks. His gimmick is that he will target the players of a certain class and turn one of that class's features against them (for instance, he could inflict ShapeshifterModeLock on Druids). It was so beloved that Blizzard gave him new ones for each new class added by expansions, with the Death Knight one being an AscendedMeme. [[note]] Death Knight players had a tendency to macro Death Grip with [[Franchise/MortalKombat "Get over here!"]], Nefarian's Death Knight call is "Death Knights, GET OVER HERE!"[[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Xenoblade}}'' and ''VideoGame/XenobladeChroniclesX'' have any allied team member yell out the name of the Arts that they use (assuming that they aren't in a Skell and not responding to a Soul Voice). It actually serves a purpose; since you can only control one party member at a time, it helps coordinate combo attacks with allies such as Toppling enemies.
** Some villains to do this as well, notably [[spoiler: Ryyz and Dagahn when in the Zu Pharg]].
* The first two games of the ''VideoGame/{{Xenosaga}}'' series did this, but only for the tech attacks in Episode I and the double attacks in Episode II. In Episode III, however, the attack names are replaced with a nice little phrase before the attack. Ex: for KOS-MOS's D-TENERITAS attack, [[spoiler:after she is fully awakened as Mary Magdelene]], she says, "Relinquish your pain unto me."
* In ''VideoGame/YuGiOhReshefOfDestruction'', Yugi, Joey, and Kaiba order their signature cards to attack if they manage to summon them.

CallingYourAttacks in video games.
----
* Notably, many Japanese 2D fighting games, such as ''Franchise/StreetFighter'' and ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters'' feature characters that shout the names of their signature attacks, famous examples from both being the Hadouken and the Genocide Cutter, respectively.
** The voice quality sometimes lead to amusing {{Mondegreen}}s (Sonic Boom/Alex Full! Tiger Uppercut/Tiger Robocop!).
** Naturally, this was done in the ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom'' series of fighting games, which features Western superheroes shouting out their attack names even when they never do so in the comics.
*** FOOT DIVE! HIGH KICK! HIDDEN MISSILES! PLASMA BEAM! MOLECULAR SHIELD!
*** Speaking of Marvel, even the ''VideoGame/XMenLegends'' games and ''VideoGame/MarvelUltimateAlliance'', which are developed by ''Western'' companies and are not fighting games, had the characters call their [[LimitBreak Xtreme super moves]]' names. Even more ridiculous when you consider that none of the Marvel moves in ''[=MvC=]'' had names as silly as SelfDemonstrating/{{Deadpool}}'s "Merc's Revenge" in the latter game. And yes, he shouts it in a serious manner. Well, as serious as [[CloudCuckooLander Deadpool]] gets, anyway. Sometimes the same attack would change names between Legends 1, Legends 2, and MUA, though some characters did get new ones.
----
* ''VideoGame/ArcRiseFantasia'': A number of spells and excel acts just have the characters saying the names of their spells/attacks when initiating them, while other times they just make up their own names for attacks that already have their own names.
* Every playable character in ''VideoGame/ArcTheLad: Twilight of the Spirits'' does this. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. A few preface the attack name with a little verse: "O Wind, Grandpa's sword the power of Justice! Windslasher!" "Feel my RAAAGE! Firestorm!" "O Icy Blizzard, rage of the Storm! Blizzard!"
* Despite being practically an Interactive action anime, for the most part, this is surprisingly avoided in ''VideoGame/AsurasWrath'' with the exception of Wyzen, who tends to yell out '''KURIKARA FUDO UCHI''' when using an attack where he falls from the sky massive [[PowerFist arm gauntlet]] first. He's the weakest overall of the 8 Guardian generals, in a bit of [[ButtMonkey Brutal]] {{Irony}}.
* In ''VideoGame/AtlanticaOnline'', all player characters call their magic skills every time they use them, on the lines of "[Enemy's name]! Take this! [Magic's name]!". ''Even with healing spells.''
* ''VideoGame/BatenKaitos'': In the GC version, before every finishing move.
** In Eternal Wings, Xelha and Mizuti, your magic-users, call ''every spell they use.'' Which gets very, VERY annoying when you get to the point where you can make them cast eight or nine spells in a row.
* It's a FightingGame, so one would expect characters in ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'' to call their attacks. Many do so, and do it well ("Baden Baden '''Lily!'''" should sound silly, but it works [[note]]It's Rachel. She can make ordering tea the most badass thing ever.[[/note]]). Special mention goes to HotBlooded {{Highly Visible|Ninja}} LargeHam Bang Shishigami, who often calls out more poetic names than his moves actually have and even goes so far as to announce "This is an ukemi!" That's right. He yells loudly to let his opponent know ''he's getting up after being knocked down.''
** Sometimes, the names Bang calls out for his attacks aren't even the right names. Ex. "Critical Super Crash!" for "Bang's Unstoppable Double Palm Thrust." He even has two slightly different names for an attack based on whether it is being used on the ground or in the air.
** Against personal rivals, the voices change to something relevant to the character pair.
*** "Baden Baden Lily!" becomes "Kneel before me, Ragna." (Rachel vs. Ragna)
*** "Fenrir, don't fail me! Nemesis stabilizer!" becomes "You're no longer my superior Jin Kisaragi. You're under arrest!" (Noel vs. Jin) or "Ragna the Bloodedge... [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments YOU'RE STUPID!!]]" (Noel vs. Ragna)
*** "Arctic Dagger!" becomes "Red Devil my ass!" (Jin vs. Tager)
*** "Optic Barrel" becomes "Hands off the panda!" (Noel vs. Litchi) ItMakesSenseInContext.
*** Even Makoto has this. Particle Flare alternates between two lines normally, but there are five variants.
---->"Watch this, friend! This is my... BEST SHOT!!" (Noel)\\
"I'll show you... everything... ''that I've learned!''" (Jin))\\
"''Tsubaki!!'' Please wake up... ''with this one last blow!!''" (guess)\\
"'Superior' my ass! ''You're lower than dirt!'' It's time for a '''mutiny!!'''" ([[spoiler:Hazama]])\\
"You're a colonel, and I don't give a crap! '''EAT IT, CREEPER!!'''" ([[spoiler:Relius]])
* Parodied in ''VideoGame/BloodyRoar'', wherein the MadScientist Busuzima has one attack in which he simply kicks his opponent while shouting "Kick!" Otherwise played straight by a few characters, with Busuzima himself having another combo wherein he punches his opponent four times, [[PunctuatedForEmphasis shouting each syllable of his name in time with them]].
* ''VideoGame/BrutalLegend'': DECAPITATIOOOON!
** "FACE MELTERRRR!"
** "[[Music/LedZeppelin BRING IT ON HOME!]]"
* Playing ''VideoGame/{{Bujingai}}'' involves Creator/{{Gackt}} calling his magics as he cast them.
* ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}''
** In ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaPortraitOfRuin'', when playing as Charlotte, she will call out the name of any spell if you super-charge it before releasing. Whenever you switch between Charlotte and Johnathan, the character [[SayMyName shouts the name of the other character]]. Also, whenever you use a combination spell, both characters will simultaneously shout the name of the spell.
** Both of these carry over into ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaHarmonyOfDespair'', although since Charlotte loses her spell charging ability, now she just yells out attack names whenever she casts something. Unless she's still yelling out the name of the ''last'' attack she did.
** In ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaOrderOfEcclesia'', sometimes Shanoa will call her magic attacks, usually with simple words like "Flame!" or "Lightning!" When playing as [[spoiler: Albus]], however, [[spoiler: he]] calls the name of almost everything [[spoiler: he]] does [[LargeHam as loud as one possibly can]]. And then there is of course Dracula himself: "Dark Inferno!" "Fatal Ray!" "Destruction Ray!"
** Perhaps the earliest example under the franchise would be in ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaSymphonyOfTheNight'' with "SOUL STEAL!!!"
* Played straight in ''VideoGame/DanballSenki'' with double servings for each FinishingMove. The player calls out "Hissatsu function" and then the control device calls the name of the attack.
* You'd think a series as wonderfully OTT as ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry'' would exhibit this gratuitously. You'll be wrong. Averted in ''1'' and ''2'', where Dante speaks only guttural warcries as he uses his moves. Subverted in ''3'', where he gets them wrong. Quite wrong. Perhaps the most glaring example is the super-uppercut "Real Impact", where he ends up shouting "Rising Dragon", a differently executed uppercut for which he only spares said guttural warcry.
** Similar to this trope, however, in the 4th installment, Dante will call out the names of his styles as he changes to them if he's standing still ("Trickster!" "Royal Guard!" "Gunslinger!" "Swordmaster!") with an accompanying pose. If you use the style swap mid-combo (and you probably will), he says a cut-down version and skips the pose so as not to interrupt himself, i.e. "Sword!" [[spoiler: When switching to Vergil's Dark slayer style, which he acquires late in the game, he calls out something other than the style's name. You still get a pose though.]]
* Some of main characters and cameo characters in the ''Franchise/{{Disgaea}}'' series call their attacks (Though sometimes only with the Japanese audio on). Notable examples include Zetta's "[[EyeBeams ZETTA BEEEAM!]]" and Kurtis' "[[RocketPunch ROKETTO PAUNCH!]]"
** In Disgaea D2, Flonne becomes "Pure Fallen Angel of Love, Flonne" during the penultimate chapter. She proceeds to constantly scream out her attack names or technique names in overly flamboyant ways. Laharl at one point asks if that is necessary, to which Flonne admits what she's yelling is actually completely irrelevant to the use of her powers. Laharl then yells at her to stop. Additionally, Laharl points out that most of the battles in said chapter were due to Flonne's flamboyant yelling which keeps attracting enemy attention.
* The ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy'' series provides a dual example; when a character uses any attack, they call out something to do with the attack, or dare the opponent to dodge of withstand them (if not a simple {{kiai}}), and, whenever a character uses a HP attack, [[PaintingTheMedium a little text box appears onscreen with the name of the attack being used, with the art style being the same as boxes used in the game the character originated from.]] [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV Cecil and Kain]] are particularly elaborate offenders, being medieval-style knights.
-->'''Cecil:''' ''[using Saint's Dive]'' Beneath the light... COMES JUDGEMENT!\\
'''Kain:''' ''[using Rising Drive]'' Engrave! DRAGON'S FANG!
* In ''VideoGame/{{Dota 2}}'', most of the Heroes (some more than others) often either say the name, effect of, or a slang term for their spells immediately after casting them, especially spells that are used specifically against enemies, as long as they don't just outright taunt them ([[WorldOfPun or make an]] [[{{Pun}} Incredibly Lame Pun]] at them).
** [[Characters/Dota2RadiantStrength Earthshaker]] is a pretty notable one.
--->"Fissure!"\\
"Enchant!"\\
(casting Echo Slam:) "SLAMMIN'!" or [[VideoGame/BarkleyShutUpAndJamGaiden "CHAOS DUNK!"]]
*** And some other variations.
** Tusk will say some variation on Walrus PUNCH! ("x Punch!") accompanied by large red text reading "WALRUS PUNCH!" next to his target every time it's used on a hero. (On a creep, though, he'll say something like "Disappointing punch!" or "Moderately painful punch!" accompanied by small blue text reading "Penguin Punch!" next to it.)
** [[DoomyDoomsOfDoom Doom, upon casting his ultimate "Doom", will almost always say something along the lines of "YOU'RE DOOMED!"]]
** Skywrath Mage often says the exact name of his abilities upon using them, most of which have low cooldowns, and ''all'' of which are castable spells.
** Surprisingly ''not'' done for the loveable and [[LargeHam extremely hammy]] MotorMouth Storm spirit, despite saying something literally ''every time'' he uses his no-cooldown ultimate. Same thing goes for his other low-cooldown abilities.
** Taken UpToEleven with [[PowerCopying Rubick (who can steal spells)]] and has a bunch of lines recorded for when he's casting ''other hero's skills'', potentially letting him call out attacks for just about every single spell in the game, only depending on how extensively Valve has recorded/will record additional lines for him in the future.
* In ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'' series, most notably in ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]]'', this is Justified for users of the [[MakeMeWannaShout Thu'um]], the draconic LanguageOfMagic. [[OurDragonsAreDifferent Dragons]], those who are [[TheChosenOne Dragonborn]], and other mortals who [[CharlesAtlasSuperpower study for years to learn to use it]] use the Thu'um to do things like command elements into existence. By shouting the words for say, [[BreathWeapon breathing fire]], they are literally [[RealityWarper commanding fire into existence]].
* All the playable characters do this in ''VideoGame/EternalSonata'', although only after racking up twenty-four consecutive hits. Some (such as Beat or Polka) use simple phrases, others (Viola, Frederic) make slightly lengthier statements and some (Falsetto and March) almost hit full-on soliloquy territory. Compare these two:
-->'''Beat:''' This is it for you! Fire Blast!\\
'''Falsetto:''' By lightning and thunder will you be thrown. By wind will you be scattered! Heaven and earth! Howling Thunder!
** The human villains of the game do it as well.
--->'''Waltz''': Ahahahaha! Ahahahahaha! What a joyous feeling! I'll let you have a taste of it as well! Apocalypse Fall!
%%* Most characters in ''VideoGame/FatalFury'' do this.
* In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'', players will often set up a macro to call their attack when they use a limit break or a particularly strong ability. A later-game boss then pretends that it's a vital part of the attack mechanism.
-->'''Omega:''' [[DeadpanSnarker Assessing necessity of vocalization. Confirmed.]]
* Ability names are displayed when used in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyTactics'', but occasionally the character using them will call them out with a descriptive preface. "Destruction of nature, gather in flame...Fire!" Removed from the English version of the PSP remake.
* Llednar Twem of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyTacticsAdvance'' pauses before his strike, but after charging energy, to say exactly what he is going to inflict upon the main character. The attack, Omega, is illegal to use in the area, and the Judgemaster takes the time when Llednar is reciting a descriptive poem to arrest him.
** Llednar always calls his attack when using Omega, but the objective in all previous battles with him is to [[HopelessBossFight stay out of Omega's range.]]
** In its [[AudioAdaptation radio drama]], every character calls '''every ability they did''' but just plain "Fight", like in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyTactics''.
* Owain, a character in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'', parodies this as all of his attacks are either a TitleDrop of a past game or a MythologyGag.
* Played for laughs in a cutscene in ''Flagstaff: Chapter One'' when the king, upset at having mud tracked all over his favorite rug by insane royal guardsmen, hits one that tries to attack him while yelling "Kiiiiing PUNCH!"
* ''VideoGame/GearsOfWar'': Boomers call out "BOOM!", and so on. They achieve a sort of NarmCharm with their calls.
* ''VideoGame/GigaWing'': '''''"REFLECTO FOOOOOOOOOORCE!"'''''
* Many characters in ''VideoGame/GranblueFantasy'' shout their Charge Attack's names out loud. If it is a unique skill or a SignatureMove, expect that it will also be called out as well.
* ''VideoGame/{{Grandia}}'': This trope is subverted and played straight in all games. Some spells and special attacks are just called by name, but with others, exactly what the castor says depends on his or her personality. For example, in ''VideoGame/GrandiaIII'', these are what the following characters say when they use Heal or Healer on themselves:
-->'''Yuki:''' I'll be fine.\\
'''Alfina''' or '''Dhana:''' I call upon the healing power of the stars.\\
'''Miranda:''' This should feel refreshing!\\
'''Alonso:''' Time to juice up!\\
'''Ulf:''' What would I do without this?
* ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear'''s biggest offender is Sol Badguy by far, but every character has one or two attacks they like to shout out in GratuitousEnglish, mostly their signature moves like Ky's "RAIDO ZA LAITONINGU!" or Potemkin's "HEAVENLY POTEMKIN BUSUTAAAH!"
* ''Franchise/DotHack '' does this of course. It's simulating an MMORPG so it's justified.
* ''VideoGame/TheHalloweenHack'': Unlike the typical Mother final boss, Dr. Andonuts announces his attacks in a dramatic fashion, telegraphing everything he does.
* PlayedForLaughs in ''VideoGame/Halo5Guardians''[='s=] Firefight mode, where the [[MiniMecha Goblin]]'s Grunt pilot will actually call out his attacks like he's in a {{Super Robot|Genre}} anime. ("Hyper Attack!", "Needle Blast!", "Robo Punch!", etc.)
* In the VideoGame/HeadSports series, all characters announce the name of their Power/Ability Shot before using it.
* In ''VideoGame/HyperPrincessPitch'', FinalBoss Mecha Santa announces each of his combat techniques. Pitch herself announces her FinishingMove.
* In ''VideoGame/JimmyAndThePulsatingMass'', this is actually a gameplay feature: calling your attack will make it deal double damage on the next round, but you'll lose the buff if you're startled.
* Many of the characters in the ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' series will do this, especially boss characters, although series protagonist Sora seldom if ever calls out the actual name of the technique he's using ("Deepfreeze" for Blizzard, "Wind" for Aero, etc.).
** For Sora and Donald it seems to be linked to using magic and thus could be a normal part of spellcasting.
** [[BonusBoss Optional Superboss]] [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Sephiroth's]] calling of his attacks was notoriously difficult to understand, leading to his most powerful technique "Descend Heartless Angel" being almost universally [[{{Mondegreen}} misheard]] as "Sin Harvest."
* The characters in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfDragoon'' call the names of Dragoon magic before hitting opponents with it. They also call the names of their regular ComboAttacks, albeit ''after'' having whacked the enemy with it.
* ''VideoGame/LegendOfLegaia'': The three playable characters always shout out their attack names, but in Japanese, as there isn't an English language track. A few of the attacks have multiple incantations, though, and a very select few are in accented-English, such as Tornado Flame. The sequel has English voice-over work, and the characters also announce all signature moves.
* During a quest in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'', a goron named Gonguron screams "GORON POWER, GOOO!!!" before starting digging like a maniac in a cave to reveal [[spoiler: a shrine]].
* Characters in ''VideoGame/LufiaCurseOfTheSinistrals'' have voice clips while attacking and using special attacks. Some attacks do have the characters call out the given name of the attack (Guy's Volcanic Impact, Selan's Ice Blade, Dekar's Exploding Fist, and Artea's Trident Arm and Javelin Rain).
** When using third-level {{Charged Attack}}s, Maxim and Guy may shout "Phoenix Swing!" or "Blast Storm!" respectively. "Blast Storm" is the name of Guy's "Hurricane Hammer" in the Japanese version.
* In ''VideoGame/MarvelSuperHeroesVsStreetFighter'' and ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcomClashOfSuperHeroes'' the '''announcer''' will call your attacks. That is, if your Super Combo Finish connects. Abandoned in ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom2'', likely due to the sheer volume of audio clips required (usually 2-3 super combos per character, 56 playable characters in all).
** In ''Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter'', you got the callout only if the super ended the fight (hey, old school!). The exception was Dan's Super Taunt, for obvious reasons. Marvel vs. Capcom only said "Hyper combo finish!", although you did get to see the name of the super on the screen.
*** Cyber Akuma didn't get his supers called. At least not in the PSX version. Instead we got "Hyper Combo Finish!"
** Particularly jarring in the live-action SoBadItsGood movie ([[Film/StreetFighter the first one]]), where most of the actors are Western, and the only character who calls their attacks is (wait for it) British fighter Cammy, who inexplicably shouts "Front Kick!" when she does one of her special moves, which is... er, a front kick.
*** "Thrust Kick" was the name of her "Cannon Spike" technique in the international versions of ''Super Street Fighter II'' until it was changed back in the ''Versus'' and ''Alpha'' series. The "Front Kick" is most likely a Mondegreen on the actresses part.
** In ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters'' Terry Bogard has his [[IntentionalEngrishForFunny BUSTA]] [[MemeticMutation WOLF!!!]]
* ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'' on the Xbox 360 has support for Kinect voice commands, letting you invoke this trope by calling your attacks to use them. Or by using control panels by shouting "Activate!"
* In ''VideoGame/MegaManStarforce 3'', Geo calls out his Big Bang attacks: "Atomic Blazer!" "Elemental Cyclone!"
* ''VideoGame/MegaManX'' will say "Hadouken" when executing the secret hidden instant-kill technique.
** He'll also call the names of special weapons in ''X8'' and ''[[VideoGameRemake Maverick Hunter X]]''. I dunno why. He didn't in [[VideoGameLongRunners the previous]] ''7'' games.
*** Zero also does this in X8.
** Likewise, when voice acting was added to the original series in ''VideoGame/MegaMan8'', every single Robot Master did this with their signature weapon, and a few did it for their other attacks as well.
*** Along with Mega Man himself. "Flame Sword!" "Tornado Hold!" ''[[MostAnnoyingSound Ad nauseum.]]''
*** He only did it during the "[weapon] get" sequences. He never actually called them out while doing them (although he did in his Marvel vs. Capcom appearances).
*** [[MostAnnoyingSound BURN! BURN! BURN! Burn to the ground! BURN! BURN! BU-BURN! Burn to thBURN!]]
* Within ''Videogame/MetalGearSolidPeaceWalker'' are several examples, most notably from the AI weapons in game which announce what weapon they are going to use. Or [[spoiler: The special ending where Vladimir shouts "PEEEEEEAAAACE ROCKET!"]] Also seen in ''Videogame/MetalGearSolidVThePhantomPain'' with the Rocket Arm upgrade for Snake's bionic arm. When firing it, Snake will yell [[RocketPunch "ROCKET PUUUUUUNCH!!"]], among other phrases, which is especially humorous given that it's primarily a game about sneaking and staying quiet.
* ''VideoGame/MischiefMakers'' has THE Beastector, who call out the names of their respective vehicles, "Beast Change!" for them to transform, and Lunar also yells his vehicle's name when transitioning to the final part of his boss fight (and "You're mine!" for some of his melee attacks, making him the most vocal of the three). He also does the only sort-of calling the attack in the final boss fight, when THE Beastector is fighting in their [[CombiningMecha combined vehicles]]. When the robot jumps into the background and performs the Mazinger-like chest beam, Lunar yells "Through fire, justice is served!".
* In ''VideoGame/MitsumeteKnight'', two of the enemy Eight Generals, [[MightyGlacier Borankio]] [[DeathSeeker the Unshakable]] and [[FragileSpeedster Salishuan]] [[BonusBoss the Spy]], are guilty of this with their respective [[LimitBreak Special Attacks]], the "[[EverythingsBetterWithSpinning Hasai Senpu]]" and the "[[WhyAmITicking Precise Kill]]". Bonus points for Borankio, as he shouts "[[FinishingMove Hissatsu !]]" before "Hasai Senpu !".
** And then there's [[EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses Priscilla]] who uses this trope in a comic way [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLafyg--Dwo#t=5m18s in of her Events]], shouting "Flower Hurricane !!" when throwing flowers around her, and "Double Flower Hurricane !!" when the player joins her.
* In ''VideoGame/NamcoXCapcom'', some characters call their attack names when attacking.
* In the VideoGame/NancyDrew game ''Danger by Design'', you can pick up a book on the martial art "Ichi-do," where it details 9 attacks that each have their own battle cry. [[ExploitedTrope Knowing where your opponent is going to hit]] helps with [[spoiler:defeating Minette]].
* Some of the characters in ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes'', including Travis, play this perfectly straight… but more noteworthy is Destroyman, a send up of {{Toku}} heroes who deconstructs or parodies this -- his weakness is ''specifically'' that his overblown posturing and JustForFun/{{egregious}} attack calling makes it easy to see his attacks coming, dodge, and counter.
** Destroyman can't help it, even if he knows it's the flaw in his battle strategy. His weapon, the SFX Converter, is made so that it'll automatically do an attack by calling the attack. He needs to call out the attacks or he can't use any attack except his melee attack.
** Travis seems to have stolen some of his attack names from the ShowWithinAShow anime he's fond of, given that its main characters are Blueberry, Cranberry and Strawberry...
** Shinobu does this too with attacks like "Sonic Sword!", "Bloody Sundae!", and "Black Tuesday!".
** [[spoiler: Dr. Letz Shake]] gets in on this a little in the sequel, despite the RoboSpeak. "BATTLE CRY!"
* Creator/{{Bungie}}'s heavily anime-influenced game ''VideoGame/{{Oni}}'', which greatly encourages fisticuffs over gunplay and does its best to run the gamut of Asian sci-fi's most entertaining tropes. Both the protagonist Konoko and bad guys call attacks. Konoko (voiced by Anime regular Amanda Winn Lee) has "Devil Spin Kick!" and "Rising fury!", and even low-level mooks, Strikers in the nomenclature of the game, have "Strikerrrrr-SLAM!". Everyone gets cool reverb effects, particularly the Furies (female strikers) with "Tennnnnn-SHADOW!" punch combos.
* Spoofed a few times in ''VideoGame/OsuTatakaeOuendan'': the ramen chef in the "Linda Linda" stage of [=OTO1=] has "Ultimate Secret Techniques" for cleaning, cutting vegetables, and making noodles, while the barber in the "Julia ni Shoushin" stage of [=OTO2=] calls out the hairstyles he's doing.
* ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'': A few characters call out their ultimate abilities when using them, like Torbjorn's "MOLTEN COOORE!" and Doomfist's "Meteor Strike!" (Doomfist also calls out "Rising Uppercut!"). Other characters have a specific line for their ultimate that functions the same way, from a gameplay standpoint: hearing Reaper yell "Die! Die! DIE!", for example, means that somewhere, an enemy Reaper is using Death Blossom.
* ''VideoGame/PhantasyStarOnline2'' has an odd example in the form of the Dragon EX, who's much more talkative then the other boss dragons, as it telepathically calls out the fancy names of some of its mostly mundane looking slashing attacks that it performs using its sword/shield arms.
* Inverted in ''VideoGame/{{Prototype}}'', where Cpt. Cross's calling out of his need to reload, and hence ''inability to attack'', shows to the player when to start counterattacking.
* ''VideoGame/{{Psychonauts}}'' parodies this, in its Godzilla pastiche level "Lungfishopolis", with a boss named Kochamara who is a master of this technique. His shouts include "Mighty RAM!, "Mighty ram GROUND VERSION!" "Hard to avoid AREA ATTACK!" and the notorious "Overly intricate COMBINATION!" Also "Deadly TRIANGLEBEAM!"
* Disco Kid in ''VideoGame/PunchOut'' for the Wii will shout "Here it comes!" before making swipes. It's almost easier to list the fighters who ''don't'' call their attacks when it comes to the Wii version.
* A [[http://www.riftgame.com/en/classes/warrior/paragon.php short story]] on the ''VideoGame/{{Rift}}'' website describes historical warrior Won Odego yelling "Strike like iron!" and "Way of the Mountain!" when activating [[DualWielding paragon]] abilities.
* ''VideoGame/{{Romancing SaGa 3}}'' invokes this by having the attack's name in a speech bubble above the character's head before they initiate the attack. However, this also occurs when a character gains a stat bonus.
* ''VideoGame/RuneScape'' is mostly free of this trope, but certain Dungoneering bosses will call their attacks, warning players of what is coming. [[AnIcePerson To'Kash the Bloodchiller]] is the first one players are likely to encounter, with three calls for his special attack: "Sleep now... In the bitter cold" a few seconds beforehand, "DEEP FREEZE!" as he encases the player(s) in ice and "I will shatter your soul!" when he smashes said ice. Experienced players use this against him and leave the room until after he's finished the attack. Har'Lakk the Riftsplitter will also call his portal attacks, with "A flame portal will flush you out!", "Taste miasma!" and "This will cut you down to size!", summoning an area of flame, poison or stat-reducing goop.
* The ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTenseiPersona'' series:
** Averted in the original ''VideoGame/{{Persona}}'', but played straight for the ultimate techniques in both installments of ''VideoGame/{{Persona 2}}'', and for the ultimate CombinationAttack that is a result of said ultimate techniques coming together. Particularly amusing in the Japanese versions, since they were all (sometimes silly sounding) English names.
--->Bubbry Lovah!\\
Uh Broody Honeymoooon!
** In ''VideoGame/{{Persona 3}}'', the character will occasionally shout out the names of their personas when summoning them. Which makes sense for the main character, who can change personas at will, [[FridgeLogic but why would the other shout them out]]? Occasionally the characters will say something other than their persona's name during a Critical Summon, but a few are annoying.
-->'''Yukari:''' I SWEAR ON MY LIFE!!!
** This applies to ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}'' as well. The only attack call that's 100% consistent is the obligatory shout of "PERSONA!", which is both noncommittal and quite effective. Also, the whole attack calling thing is kind of awkward if you have [[OlympusMons Satan or Lucifer]] equipped at the time...
** While calling the actual names of the attacks used is averted in the [=RPGs=], it is played straight in the 2D {{Fighting Game}}s, ''VideoGame/Persona4Arena'' and ''VideoGame/Persona4ArenaUltimax''. Special and super moves based on skills in the [=RPGs=] sometimes have their names called out by the characters when used.
** ''VideoGame/{{Persona 5}}'' again has characters shout "Persona!" or the actual name of their GuardianEntity when summoning them, and they'll sometimes call out their CombinationAttack (which applies to previous games as well). The main character will also use some of the lines of characters from previous ''Persona'' titles if using one of the DLC Persona taken from their game. Also, the first BossBattle, Asmodeus, will tell you he's about to use his "Super Death Spike" exploding volleyball attack the turn before he actually hits you with it.
* ''VideoGame/SkiesOfArcadia'': Most of the techniques used by the heroes and some of the bosses use their name or a form of it in a phrase during the attack itself. They also call attacks made by their ships.
-->'''Vyse:''' [[WaveMotionGun MOON STONE CANNON]], ''FIRE!''
* ''VideoGame/SlyCooperAndTheThieviusRaccoonus'' has the Panda King doing this with his [[KillItWithFire Flame-Fu]] ("Fiery Wheel!", "Paaalms of Thundah!" etc.).
* ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'': "CHAOS CONTROL!"
** [[VideoGame/SonicColors "Laser! Drill! Spikes! Cube! Rocket! Hover! Frenzy!"]]
*** [[AllYourColorsCombined "Final Color Blaster!"]]
* In ''VideoGame/SpaceChannel5'', Ulala and her enemies say their cues. If they didn't, the game would be unbeatable.
* This happens in ''VideoGame/StarFoxZero'' of all games during a secret mission in which you play as Peppy. He yells out "BARREL ROLL!" whenever he performs the evasive maneuver.
* ''VideoGame/StarOcean''. Practically all voiced characters in the series do this. Like ''Tales'' below, such calling of attacks has been in Star Ocean since the humble beginnings on the Super Famicom.
** ''VideoGame/StarOceanTheLastHope'': Everyone in the cast does this. [[WhiteMagicianGirl Sarah]]... [[TheDitz tries to do this]].
--->''"Lighting, uh, uh, something!''
* ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'':
** ''[[VideoGame/SuperMarioRPG Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' has a status condition called mute, which prevents affected characters from using special attacks. They are also shown with a bandage over their mouths, suggesting this trope.
** In ''VideoGame/SuperMario64 DS'', [[Characters/{{Wario}} Wario]] does this with a simple punch. "Punch! Punch! Yah!"
* Being an amalgamation of a great many HumongousMecha anime, ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'' has more of this than even entire series of fighting anime. Although just about everyone does it, OriginalGeneration character and AscendedFanboy [[VideoGame/ShinSuperRobotWars Ryusei Date]] has a particular joy for doing this, even when simply letting off a couple shots in a {{Real Robot|Genre}}, to the point where he initially gets some funny looks from the other characters. It seems to be infectious, as those same characters end up using this trope more and more as the games go on.
** Also, Irm in Grungust. "[[{{BFS}} CALAMITY SWORD -- DARKNESS SLASH!]]"
** A somewhat odd example exists in that there is technically an attack that ''everyone'' calls out, no matter their predilection to doing so normally. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISQIKZTr5d4 The]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-EmFkf-jUk infamous]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3zJCj0l5lk Gespenst]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1Whnv2KS2o Kick]] seems to cause pretty much anyone who uses it to suddenly become markedly HotBlooded and scream the name of the attack at the top of their lungs. Hilariously, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcTNymCqzuk the anime]] suggests that the reason everyone does this is that they actually ''have'' to shout it out in order to execute the Gespenst Kick properly.
--->'''SHOUT NOW!!'''
** The more comedic characters occasionally get the attack names wrong, or just make something up because they don't remember.
--->'''[[Anime/MartianSuccessorNadesico Ryoko Subaru]]:''' ''GEKIGAN FLARE!'' [[GotMeDoingIt Wait, what the hell am I saying?]]
* ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'':
** Captain Falcon -- originally of the ''F-Zero'' racing titles -- calls out his painfully slow (but extremely powerful) signature move, the "Falcon... PUNCH!!!" (He also calls a faster "Falcon Kick" attack.)
** Also, in ''Brawl'', when Snake fights Falcon and uses his codec, he and Otacon lampoon this by saying they've always wanted to do something...unlike [[HoYay what you're thinking]], they do a laudably over-the-top "FALCON PUUUUUNCH!" "FALCON KIIIIICK!".
** In the same series, Ness calls out his "PSI" moves: "PK Thunder," "PK Fire," & "PK Flash."
** Kirby, after copying Falcon's or Ness's powers, also calls out the attack names, but in his insanely cuter, higher-pitched voice. "[[MemeticMutation Fawcon Punch!]]"
** In a strange example, if Kirby copies R.O.B. he'll yell out "BEEEEP!" when firing his laser eyes.
** Likewise, when copying [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Pikachu's]] powers he calls out "[[PokemonSpeak Pikachu!]]" just like the Mon is so known for.
** ''Brawl'' adds Lucas (which follows Ness) and Ike, who calls his signature move, Aether. Some other characters also call their Final Smashes.
** The 4th installment gives us [[VideoGame/FireEmblem Robin]] the [[TheStrategist tactician]] [[BlackMage mage]], who yells the names of the various spells which [[PurelyAestheticGender he or she]] attacks with, as well as [[GuestFighter Ryu]], true to ''Franchise/StreetFighter'' tradition.
** [[Franchise/KidIcarus Palutena]] is a slight subversion, as she does say the names of her attacks, but in a pleasant calm voice: shout outs go to "Autoreticle" and "Angelic Missile".
* Every game in the ''VideoGame/TalesSeries'' uses this whenever a character uses a special move. In case of spellcasters, high-level spells often include a lengthy chant during the casting. And yes, that includes ''VideoGame/TalesOfPhantasia'' on the SNES, courtesy of the Flexible Voice Driver.
** [[MemeticMutation INDIGNATION!]]
** [[GratuitousEnglish Fasuto Eido!]]
** ''VideoGame/TalesOfDestiny2'' (the actual Japanese-only Destiny 2 for UsefulNotes/{{P|layStation2}}S2, not the renamed Eternia) spoofs this practice by giving Loni Dunamis a LimitBreak consisting of 15 kanji, which also has the unique property of having the ingame title pop up one kanji at a time when it is used.
** In the same game, Barbatos Goetia has this has an incredibly hammy art form ("SHAKUNETSU NO BURN STRIKE!" "GENOCIDE BRAVER!"), but aside from that, when fighting him, the usual arte name tag at the top of the screen will also display sentences and phrases presumably shouted by Barbatos mid battle depending on what arte he used or how the player acted against him (Such as "Eat this, my Tres Assault arte!" or "Don't try running away from me!") Naturally if you used an item, he'd immediately hit you with a spell while the arte tag instead said "Don't use items!" And one thing led to another and that particular phrase became a Mystic Arte all on its own.
*** The same move would later be given to Malik Caesar in ''VideoGame/TalesOfGraces f'', where it's made even more over the top by changing the camera angle as each part of attack's name is announced. It's known as "Tremorous Celestial Sundering Shredding Light of Cyclonic Butchery" in the English version. Or "Tremorous Celestial etc." for short, because the full name is too long to fit in the artes menu.
** To reduce redundancy, ''VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia'' introduced more than one shout for artes, and Raven completely averts this trope with most of his melee artes. ''Destiny Remake'' and ''Hearts'' likewise have characters say different things for every use of an arte beyond the first (usually a grunt or a simple battlecry), since their systems allowed freestyle comboing, including spamming, something most games in the series don't have.
*** [[AC: I'LL BLOW YOU AWAY! DESTRUCT-DESTRUCT-DESTRUCT-DESTRUCT-DESTRUCT-DESTRUCT-DESTRUCTION FIELD!!!]] If that doesn't get your blood boiling, nothing will.
*** Repede is a [[NonHumanSidekick badass dog]] and cannot talk, but his artes still have names. The first time he does his Mystic Arte, it shows up as ???. This triggers a skit where the other character debate over what to name the move. They settle on "Slash!" and this becomes its new title.
** Hermana of ''VideoGame/TalesOfInnocence'' actually yells "Puuuunch~" and "Kiiiiiiick~" for some of her moves.
** When [[VideoGame/TalesOfHearts Kohaku's]] Spiria isn't fully fixed yet, her attack callouts are fittingly monotone.
* ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'': Saxton Hale lives and breathes this trope, though he usually prefers to yell his own name rather than the name of his attack.
** It's possible that the Pyro is calling out the name of the Hadoken in its taunt kill, but since it's TheUnintelligible all anybody ever hears is a muffled yell.
** The Engineer announces himself whenever he's building a Teleporter, Dispenser, or Sentry (and also cries out if any of them get sapped our destroyed).
** All of the Mercs also call out the names of any spells they acquire while playing in Helltower (the Halloween Payload Race event).
* Fifi in ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures: Defenders of the Universe'' calls out her special attack whenever she uses it. "Le Odor of Love!"
* The ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'' series is pretty unique among [[ShootEmUp shmups]] in that most of the bosses' attack patterns are all different named attack spells, with the spell name displayed onscreen when it is cast. In-universe, declaring the name of your attack before you use it is one of the rules of [[WizardDuel Spell Card duels]], the [[DuelsDecideEverything primary means of resolving conflicts in Gensokyo]].
** [[ILoveNuclearPower Utsuho Reiuji]] uniquely adds ''[[BossWarningSiren bright yellow CAUTION! signs and a warning klaxon]]''.
* Player characters in the {{M|assivelyMultiplayerOnlineRolePlayingGame}}MORPG ''VideoGame/TreeOfSavior'' vocally announce what skill they're casting--though this is more common among the Cleric and Wizard class families than it is the Swordsman and Archer ones, who are more given to {{Kiai}} and battle shouts when using skills.
* The sword techniques used by the [[BadassFamily Takamachi family]] in ''VisualNovel/TriangleHeart3SweetSongsForever'' also have the names appear in lettering for the audience.
* In ''VideoGame/UncommonTime'', the {{Limit Break}}s all involve the characters doing this, along with an additional dramatic line.
-->'''Alto:''' The hatred, the hope... All of it is my power! Disappear!! Grand Concerto!
* In ''Videogame/ValkyrieProfile2Silmeria'', all characters call out their FinishingMove at the end of their little speech while performing it. For mortals and einherjar, the speech ends with "Finishing Strike: (name of attack)". The gods finish with the shout "Divine Assault: (name of attack)".
** This is also done in ''VideoGame/ValkyrieProfile'', with the addition of Suo's call of 'Ougi!', Badrach's 'Deathblow', and Jun's "Mugen no kensen, Blade Art, Senko-Jin!" Not to mention the mages who call all their spells... and go into a full {{invocation}} for Great Magics...
** Ditto ''VideoGame/ValkyrieProfileCovenantOfThePlume'' too.
* In ''Vattroller X'', most characters summon a creature when they use their {{Smart Bomb}}s. [[Manga/OnePiece Zoro]] however, having nothing to summon, just has a bunch of text appear over his head instead.
* In ''VideoGame/ViewtifulJoe'', the first time you fight Captain Blue, he shouts, "Captain Blue kick!" For some reason, he does not do this in the next battle. Other characters get into it, too. Joe calls out his "Red Hot Kick!" move, while Alastor calls out almost all of his moves.
* In the ''VideoGame/WingCommander'' franchise, fellow pilots often announce torpedo attacks. Judging by ''Real Life'' example below, that's a decent imitation of standard dogfighting protocol.
* ''VideoGame/TheWonderful101'': Wonder-Red does it constantly. It's even parodied in the final attack where he starts to recite his ridiculous super extra long attack name. Wonder-Blue tries to get Red to attack already but only gets punched in return.
* In ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'', bosses tend to do this -- mainly the reason is to give the player some time to dodge a devastating attack.
** For example: BOOOOOOOONNEEEEEE-STOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRMMMMM!
** Nefarian is notorious for this, having short speeches for his attacks. His gimmick is that he will target the players of a certain class and turn one of that class's features against them (for instance, he could inflict ShapeshifterModeLock on Druids). It was so beloved that Blizzard gave him new ones for each new class added by expansions, with the Death Knight one being an AscendedMeme. [[note]] Death Knight players had a tendency to macro Death Grip with [[Franchise/MortalKombat "Get over here!"]], Nefarian's Death Knight call is "Death Knights, GET OVER HERE!"[[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Xenoblade}}'' and ''VideoGame/XenobladeChroniclesX'' have any allied team member yell out the name of the Arts that they use (assuming that they aren't in a Skell and not responding to a Soul Voice). It actually serves a purpose; since you can only control one party member at a time, it helps coordinate combo attacks with allies such as Toppling enemies.
** Some villains to do this as well, notably [[spoiler: Ryyz and Dagahn when in the Zu Pharg]].
* The first two games of the ''VideoGame/{{Xenosaga}}'' series did this, but only for the tech attacks in Episode I and the double attacks in Episode II. In Episode III, however, the attack names are replaced with a nice little phrase before the attack. Ex: for KOS-MOS's D-TENERITAS attack, [[spoiler:after she is fully awakened as Mary Magdelene]], she says, "Relinquish your pain unto me."
* In ''VideoGame/YuGiOhReshefOfDestruction'', Yugi, Joey, and Kaiba order their signature cards to attack if they manage to summon them.
