The Nominations for Most Badass Move in SCIV

Critical Finish
Yoshimitsu's... it brings back memories of old Japanese movies and the bleak look on the 'to be executed' person's face as they realize what's happening is great.

Throw/Command Throw
Astaroth's back throw, as he really cares that much about you and your personal space. Really.

Unblockable
Nightmare's Unblockable footstomp. I respect the sheer amount of anger it must take to do that and how hard he must be concentrating to make his foot burst into flame and then stomp triumphantly on your piggly wiggly digits.

Normal Move/Auto-GI
Tiras GS B+K Auto GI is pretty nasty. It brings back memories of movies where people are about to/do get sawed in half.
 
Critical Finish
Hilde. It's just fucking epic. Second to that would be Zasalamel.

Throw/Command Throw
Kilik's throw against BT opponents. Still the best throw in the game after all these years.

Unblockable
Yoshi's SDRG A+K (Super Dragonfly Suicide). If you need me to explain this, you're a fool.

Auto-GI
Oh, look, it's actually someone I don't use for a change. Tira's GS B+K is, quite simply, the most disrespect you could possibly do to someone's face.
 
CF: maxi or yoshimitsu...im torn between the 2.

THROW: Yoshis flying throw where he throws with his feet!

UNBLOCKABLE: Yoshi suicides

NORMAL MOVE: maxi B+K, BBBA, B+K
 
Critical Finish

Yoshimitsu

You can't hate that badass shit.

Throw/ Command Throw

mitsu 6B A+G_B+G is awesome


unblockable

Yoshi sudice out of SDGF.

Normal move

Talim's wind sault moves are sexy as hell :)
 
Critical Finish: Algol. I mean really, he sits on you with his throne...

Unblockable: Asta's bear hug...

Throw: Asta's back throw or Algol's side throw where he flips the opponent over his shoulder and skewers him on his spikes...

Auto GI:Tira's. It's awesome...

Overall most Badass: Algol's CF...
 
Crit finish: Ivy

Throws: Ivys really cool throws

Unblockables: Id have to go with yoshimitsus parry unblockable out of REF stance

Regular move: raphaels 44B cuz of how it slices the people up

CH move: Yoshimtisues Ninja dash cuz he runs through them like butter

Auto parry: Tiras thingymobob where she runs over you and hits you 20 times with her weapon

Overall most badass move: Yoshimitsu's 4A+K cuz of how many moves come out of it and because : how degrading they are, how damaging they are, how cool they are, how useful they are, how unexpected they are.
 
Critical Finish - Zasalamel

Throw/Command Throw - Astaroth's Titan Bomb

Unblockable Move - Yoshi's Turning Suicide
 
Yun's CF seems funny to me. The whole "attack freeze frame" thing seems too dramatic and i cant help but laugh when the explosion at the end knocks him over XD
 
TC... what do you mean by "Badass"
do you mean like the most awsome looking move? or the most awsome effective move?

IMO

Nighty's A+B and 2 A+B are pretty "badass"...
 
- Critical Finish
Seong-Mina's, because it looks very, very painful.

- Throw/Command Throw
This one's tough, but I'll go with that one Mitsurugi side-throw that's a trip, to stab in the back (while the opponent is still in the air mind you) into the ground, then the twist afterwards.

QFT

- Attack Throw
Asty's :Kh: He kicks you in the face to push you down and chops your crotch.

Taki's UB bomb because you can do very evil things after this including her 41236B UB.

- Auto GI
Mitsu's RLC A+B+K

- Normal move
Taki's PO B, her reverse held downward stab with Mekki-Maru is just badass.
 
Algol critical finish, he lands on you with a throne and is just sitting in it with his Souther pose.
Tira GS B+K

One of Astaroth's side throws where he punches his opponent in the head and as they are shaking their head in disbelief, he does an overhead skull bash with his axe XD.

Sophitia's "Matrix" move.

Siegfried's CF. "I have the POOOOOWWWWWEEEERRRRRR!!!!" >:D
 
Actually on the topic of aesthetics .. does anyone have a list of moves that cause a break in the camera tracking the characters (to a new angle shot).

Examples would be raph's 236B and 44B on hit, X's 66b+k on hit, NM's NSS bA in a juggle..etc. They probably become special AT's in this situation... (at least raph's 44B)
 
Ivy's Calamity Symphony command grapple. Yoda's command grapple. Hilde's vertical unblockable. Algol's bubbles. Tira's auto impact. Yoda's auto impact.
