Yeah, wow, I can't even remember any instances from Super.

Super Perfect Zamasu begs to differ.

Super also gave us a named Vegito attack in Final Kamehamea, even if it was something that already existed in the games.

I wish the Final Kamehameha were cooler. When I hear that name, I picture Vegetto in the Final Flash pose but chanting the "KAAAMEEEE..." intonation, with Goku powering up a blue beam in one hand, Vegeta powering up a yellow in the other, and then slamming them together into a blue/yellow/green spiral of destruction for the final throw.

But it's really just a Kamehameha with a fancy name.

was human extinction attack a dub only thing because I thought he gave it a name after he used it in the anime.

Technically, it's a Kamehameha with a yellow spiral going around it.

[up][up] Nah, I think even in the dub Buu just whipped it out.

Super Perfect Zamasu begs to differ.

I guess it's fitting that Zamasu of all people would bring back naming attacks then. tongue

I don't know about in kai, but in the original Funimation dub Buu tauntingly asks Piccolo how he likes his Human Extinction Attack before telling him again to bring out the "strong one" (referring to Gotenks).

Don't know if that's where the name "Human Extinction Attack" started, though.

Kaioken Attack isn't a technique. It's just Goku hitting somebody really hard while using the Kaioken.

I'm pretty sure that "Kaioken attack" is what some of the dubs called the Kaioken technique itself, actually.

...better than that one time they had Goku talk about using a "triple strike".

I have a message from another time...

Could be worse.

Could be "king Kai fisting".

Merged Zamasu is such a fighting game final boss. Vainglorious, faux-angelic design? Naming his attacks as pretentiously as possible? The attacks themselves are extravagant in scope, nearly unblockable and have way too huge hitboxes? After being defeated, transforms into an inhuman form that can't be harmed with normal techniques?

He'd fit right in with Arcsys, or SNK.

He's actually really, really similar to the final boss from Xenoblade Chronicles.

Pretty-boy god obsessed with his superiority to mortals who wants to wipe the slate clean, takes offense to mortals doing things only gods are allowed to do, prefers to use an energy blade for combat, is willing to kill fellow gods to keep them from standing in his way, becomes a double-god and then a disfigured, asymmetrical freak after getting whaled on for a while, and is finished off by a young man manifesting a glowy blue blade out of everybody's energy and vertically bisecting him. He doesn't become wallpaper afterward like Zamasu, but a higher-god does show up to tell him off and see to his death, which also leads to the destruction of the universe.

You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!

I can't believe I forgot that Fused Zamasu named all of his attacks.

[up][up][up][up]I want to say that one of the games did just call it King Kai Fist. Looking it up, it was Budokai and Budokai 2.

The games also consider the same attack under different scenarios to be different attacks, for variety's sake. In addition to the aforementioned Father-Son Kamehameha, I've seen several give "Angry Kamehameha" to SSJ Goku, which is firing the Kamehameha with one hand at Frieza while pissed off that he's wasting the ki Goku just gave him.

Basically, the games carved up every punch the characters ever threw in the series and added labels to them.

Oddly, I don't think I've ever seen that time Goku made two stationary Kamehamehas and lobbed them at Frieza one after another in order to distract him made into an attack.

No, they've never made that into an attack. That's kinda shocking actually.

Um, it actually was, in Supersonic Warriors 2. It was called Twin Dragon Shot in that.

OK, this one was good.

I kinda wanna see Kirito and Asuna from Sword Art Online Abridged show up in the next one.
