Fighting game, RPG, battle chess, your choice. What attack animations get you going YEE YEE YEE YEE YEE?

For me, Akuma's Raging Demon is super badass despite you not being able to see most of it. I'm also a big fan whenever a game has a character shoot a laser in a straight line, along which an explosion follows (Bloodborne springs to mind as an example, and plenty of RPG attacks are like this too).

Insert DMC 4 attack animations here.

Seriously, those animations for combat are probably the tippiest of the toppest tier.

Noctis has some. Look up SunhiLegend's set of FFVX gifs.

 

[NESpowerhouse]

FFXV has some pretty fluid attack animations.

 

[Shmuppers]

That game is just a long, combo filled wet dream.

I'm on mobile but I really love how Ralf puts all of his weight into a Galactica Phantom.

Or 3S Shin Shoryu.

Or either of Adon's Ultras.

 

[Syril]

Insert 3rd Strike Makoto moveset here.

If a game ever has this, then this would be fit for this thread

Most of the Halo Reach, 4 and 5 Assassinations.

The True Dragon Sword Ultimate Technique is the exact attack animation sequence that came into my mind upon clicking this thread.

 

[Inorganic]

Best and most satisfying.

I would say there's a difference between being over-the-top and being good There's certainly overlap, but sometimes a clean, simple animation is really well-placed.

That being said, I appreciate the link!

 

[Warablo]

I enjoyed Splinter Cell: Blacklist and Hitman Absolution takedown animations.

[J_Macgrady]

My favorite animation is rainstorm in DMC4.

I also love the way bullet climax in Bayonetta 1 looks when you're spinning around while shooting.

 

[Kremzeek]

Someone post some Nier Automata gifs because there are some awesome ones there.

Also Gravity Rush 2....?

[LordKasual]

This should be an XV thread

But aside from that obvious choice...i love Dante's animations in DMC3.

Also love Kat's kicking animations in Gravity Rush. They flow really well into one another

I thought this halo 5 assassination was brutal!!!!

 

[Gilby]

I'm quite fond of the Monster Hunter attack anims.

 

[bigjig]

Majima is an absolute joy to play in Yakuza 0

 

[icecold1983]

Ryse finishers
Ac unity finishers
Bayonetta finishers
God of war 3

 

[-Mutsukki-]

Most things from SNK are just insane

 

[TheSpaceBetween]

Bayonetta/2... I just love how she moves with such grace, fluidity and power, and the animations are a big part of that. To add to the Platinum goodness I'll mention TW101 as well... Seeing the heroes transform into giant objects in an instant is incredibly fun.

Man I miss ZOE :'(

I let the dream go years ago. MGSR was close enough.

 

[RecRoulette]

The best.

Damn, Roy channeling Jotaro in that second one lol

 

[MikeDown]

Where are those Nier gifs?

The original SGS animation is anything but 'best'.
It is just Akuma doing his phantom dash towards you, the screen going black, then he poses.
That's like doing a dash, turning off the screen/TV, then pressing the taunt button while turning your TV/screen On again.

Now if you had said the KKZ, you'd actually have something going for ya
