Favorite move and why?

What is your #1 favorite move in the game and why? Is it because of how cool it looks, how brutal it looks, how useful it is in-game, the cut scene or way Ryo learns it? Etc

Fun topic! My favorite move is what Ryo did to the travel agency owner. That was awesome.

Demon's Triangle. How on earth does three stabs with a flat hand translate to a throwing move?

Double Blow. Love the scene where you learn it. Always has to be around 5 or 6ish though, just before it turns dark. Yamagashi-san's a fucking legend.

Machingun fist.

But yeah that Double Blow scene is cool

Counter Elbow Assault, the whole scene where he remembers Xiuying teaching him it as he is about to use it on Dou Niu is a highlight of the series.

This for sure. And its super useful on eileen in S2. The move is so satisfying to watch once you connect.

Tornado Kick taught by Tom, I just remember always trying to do it in real life as a kid, was a bad ass move.

I had many. Arm break thunder is the most satisfying to pull off though. I'd probably already played each game about 7 or 8 times before I found the button combination for it, and what a sweet moment that was :mrgreen:

Oblique slam (< X+Y) because it's also really satisfying to pull off

For practical purposes, rain thrust. It's my bread and butter move. Good for getting into range to set other moves up, and also just to take the enemy's health down slowly through repeated uses

Horshoe kick to put the opponent down, then throw in an extra kick for good measure. Nice for slowing down the tempo of a fight for a moment

Demon drop because it's bad ass

Arm break thunder is my favourite though :heart:
