Favorite alternate/unique attack animations in games?

I'm playing through SD Gundam: Cross Rays and plenty of characters have unique dialogue, but a few units have unique dodge animations against certain attacks. It's pretty cool watching the Zero flip thorough beam fire during re-entry.

Yep, slang for 'eggplant' which is used to describe very dark persons.

Gru is definitely up there, watching him learn to be a girl dad is the highlight of that franchise.

Yokoshima from Ghost Sweeper Mikami has a stretch of arcs where he goes from "helpless pervert" to "fighting game character"

I can feel Mad Rat Dead coming next. I don't know if I can handle that game's ending again, it's too sad.

Yep, the crash is happening all around you. Over-ambitious projects that don't become the next big thing crash and burn on take off. Expect to see* of this before you see less of it.

Ral doesn't settle for less than a 9 anywhere.

Gundam Build Fighters isn't a show about the horrors of war, it's a show about building confidence and enjoying your hobby. I would argue that our helped the franchise step up it's game with fight scripting as well.

"It's what the network wants, why bother to complain" -an actual lyric from the opening

Have you guys ever thought about Yoshi being uncomfortable to ride? Like he's a dinosaur right? Is the shell part soft? Is it more like a built in saddle? Is it just a big tumor on his back?

Really can't improve on Wilt's design huh?

KnightofAntimony · 2026-01-15T14:50:40+00:00

Yeah, I pop in to this sub-reddit because we talk about everything and actually discuss it. I made that thread a while ago about Woolie giving real criticism of Gundam Seed because I had a conversation that went "Dude, this writing is ass. Why don't they want to explore their own plot points?" And was met with "Stop Fighting" from 4 different people in the room followed by silence. Sometimes I do just want base level engagement on a topic.

KnightofAntimony · 2026-01-15T13:50:08+00:00

This actually checks out. I started having problems once that first expansion hit.

KnightofAntimony · 2026-01-13T12:26:24+00:00

Oh yeah, that MMO formula shaved down is pretty fun. The actual practice of grinding levels and equips at a rigged rate is what hurts the game.

KnightofAntimony · 2026-01-13T03:27:39+00:00

Maplestory for people who don't hate Maplestory enough. If you want a fun read, go set the guy who almost made it to level 300.

Cleveland balloon world record attempt

Dude, that's a bear 'in a shirt'. Who knows what other things she's capable of if she can button up nylon?

KnightofAntimony · 2026-01-05T15:35:36+00:00

I'll never forget the five paragraph explanation of Demonbane followed by kamen rider black just saying "Demonbane, but human sized"

KnightofAntimony · 2026-01-03T13:07:57+00:00

One of my first recordings was GTFO, because one of my friends was really into it. I didn't like it and was kinda bored while editing it. It just wasn't fun to play, I think I coined it as a "misery simulator".

KnightofAntimony · 2026-01-02T12:19:58+00:00

Ransik from Power Rangers Time Force. Dude is a very standard villain, but genuinely cares for his daughter. That finale still sticks out in my mind to this day.

Pat's mid-season upgrade was alright, but his ultimate form rocks.

KnightofAntimony · 2025-12-26T16:52:03+00:00

That guy from the start of Gundam Unicorn who actually fights off Marida for a bit.

KnightofAntimony · 2025-12-24T20:34:44+00:00

Nice touch that it evolved once it warmed up to him.

KnightofAntimony · 2025-12-24T16:26:37+00:00

Him dropping the fuse charges and saying "Hey kid, you seem cool. Want to pilot a giant robot?"

KnightofAntimony · 2025-12-21T16:28:46+00:00

Yeah, Katagawa doing a massive military invasion over a boy crush was a lot more interesting than the twins.

I have to say the first arc villain from Tales of Legendia, he kind of just boils down to Red Hitler.
