CallingYourAttacks
#18221
This troper parodied this once. Playing SSB, The person he was fighting made up names for all the attacks. Every time I asked him to stop, he got louder and more ridiculous. So, we were both at 100% damage, 1 life, and he kicked and yelled "SUPER KICK!" This troper dodged, Kicked back and said, ""Regualr kick"" Killing him.
#18222
This troper once thought about saying what he was about to do out loud in a very dramatic and anime-esque fashion. But then he remembered that he was actually existing in real life, not an animated show, where such things are treated as naturally as musicals treat spontaneously bursting into song instead of seen as a sign of a severe psychological disorder, and he thought better of it and never, ever, did it after that. It seems to have worked out OK.
#18223
Every time I summon the Rush Super Armor in MegaMan 7, I have to shout, "DOG...JETPACK!" (Mimicking Mega Man's fist-pump during the summon/combination animation is optional.) Oddly enough, I don't seem to have this problem with MegaMan 6.
#18224
This Troper during dodgeball, randomly shouted random names like BALL...OF JUSTICE! or SUPER BALL TOSS OF MEGA POWER!
#18225
This troper knows one person, near the top of the SuperSmashBros circle he moves in, who announces his move whenever he performs one when playing with the lesser-skilled players. He claims it helps us learn to read other players and react.
#18226
This troper had a habit of doing this during a snowball fight with some friends. After discovering that this troper's long range skills were... lacking, a much simpler method was devised: simply sneak up behind a distracted foe, and smush a snowball into the back of their head. Of course, this was accompanied by the phrase: "Can you say... SNEAK ATTACK!" It proved surprisingly effective, due to picking targets that were already distracted and blind siding them so that the attack call went unnoticed.
#18227
Ooh, learn to throw your voice! That would ''really'' throw them for a loop!
#18228
Fool your friends! Fun at parties!
#18229
This troper once had a long discussion with a friend about Super Smash Brothers before we got...well, smashed. He blacked out, and the other guys in the group would get interrupted mid sentence with someone yelling "FALCON PUNCH!" and tackling them.
#18230
Whenever this troper has to (try to) achieve something in P.E., she finds herself yelling "HYPER STARLIGHT KICK!" or a variation (if the "KICK" can actually be replaced with what I'm doing). I'm currently waiting for the day someone gets it.
#18231
Err...wouldn't that include us? The people you just explained it to?
#18232
It's potholed.
#18233
As a consolation, if this troper were in your P.E. class, you'd have at least earned a spit-take by now.
#18234
A friend of this troper happened to hear the same thing the first day he entered school-cue to prompt spit-take.
#18235
This Troper's DungeonsAndDragons 4th edition group has a superstition: if you say the name of the ability you're using, you will miss. Invariably, you will miss. Especially if it can only be used once per day.
#18236
This troper, after learning that his friend yelled "KNEE OF JUSTICE" when using Captain Falcon's aerial forward A, decided to name Ganondorf's very-similar-but-differently-animated attack "FIST OF DISDAIN." Oh boy that's some fun times.
#18237
I personaly believe that if you are about to set off an amazing combo in a game, you should yell the name of each action, gradully getting more and more epic, with the last yell held.
#18238
I tend to do this a lot. As in, a HELL of a lot. Not just calling EVERY attack in EVERY fighting game I get my hands on (StreetFighter, GuiltyGear, DeadOrAlive, you name it), but also calling victory and intro quotes as well.
#18239
This troper does this frequently when playing fighting games like ''Tekken'' and ''Mortal Kombat'' on the playstation 2.
#18240
This troper eventually shouts "GIGA... DRILL... BREAKER!!". ''While serving during volleyball matches''.
#18241
And this one does the same thing with "Force Palm", although it kept being misheard as "Force Ball".
#18242
This Troper tends to do this, especially when playing MagicTheGathering and I pull a trump card out of nowhere that will win me the game.
#18243
This troper often calls out his attacks when playing Warhammer40000. Especially when rolling for the number of attacks fro his Chaos Lord's daemon weapon. Since he's started doing it he's been rolling mostly 5s and 6s, so it seems to be working.
#18244
When playing as Captain Falcon in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, this troper commonly shouts "Knee of Justice!" when landing his forward aerial. He's also known prone to using "Limit Break!" for Final Smashes and "C-C-C-C-COMBO" whenever appropriate.
#18245
I was grappling with my friend and said I'm gonna take you down right now! Needless to say, I found myself on the receiving end of a guillotine choke when I went for the takedown.
#18246
This Troper invoked this trope in his tabletop RPG game. Since the setting was very highly influenced by anime, he would regularly call out different attacks from the ones he would use. Needless to say, the [=NPCs=] didn't like this at all.
#18247
This troper's character in my buddy's Marvel Superheroes campaign loves to call her attacks. And taunt.
#18248
This troper has observed that about 50% of the Groin Attacks people make are usually accompanied by something along the lines of "Ball-Tap!" or "Roschambeu!" or "Cunt-punt!".
#18249
I'm not sure if I'd find that last one hilarious or offensive. Considering the circumstances (presumably, being on the receiving end of a foot and/or knee to the crotch) it may be both.
#18250
This troper has recently begun preparing a list of Japanese-Romanji attack titles in case of a fight.
#18251
You mind sharing some of that? I'm running out of ideas for battle taunts in [MMORPG NAME REDACTED], and the ones given in the [=SpeedChat=] menu suck. On a side note, I found that "[ Data Expunged ]" (with the brackets seperated from the words) is ''actually allowed'' by the chat dictionary. Oh wait... *FacePalm* That dictionary is kinda limited, and any words outside of it are covered up by animal noises (ItMakesSenseInContext). But I could still use that list elsewhere... [-like maybe a ''Chaotic'' battle or something.-] #QUOTE#Example: Windslash -> The pipes are broken!]] Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku!
#18252
This Troper calls ANY ATTACKS he does. Even in an FPS game. So it'll be SHOOTING!!! HEADSHOT!!! RELOADING!!! (although the latter actually used in a game). V.A.T.S!!! VAULT-TEC ASSISTED TARGETING SYSTEM!!! CRIPPLING SHOT!!! CRITICAL HIT!!! Bonus points for using katakana accent.
#18253
This Troper does it when starting my lawnmower... it doesn't seem to work unless I do it. "Spinning start-up blackhole attack!"
#18254
This Troper has slowly started the habit of calling out Lawn Striker...HASHIN! when starting his.
#18255
You would not believe the amounts of crazy stuff this troper would do. These stem from various games as a kid, by the way...
#18256
''Butterscotch''. Yes, this troper was five years old and used that for literally the most powerful attack that my character knew. (The idea of it being "butterscotch" was that it'd distract people while they get covered in molten lava. TakeThat.)
#18257
Uhhh....''SPAGHETTI!!'' This is from BeavisAndButthead. You know, that episode where their spanish teacher asks the two "Como es Juan?" and Beavis responds with "uuuuhhhh....SPAGHETTI!!!". Conveniently I did that ith the same idea of the Butterscotch attack where it would distract people. It worked once when I suddenly threw someone with the Sacred Turnip.
#18258
Fore! Peach with the golf club.
#18259
Served! Peach with the tennis racket
#18260
A fake sneeze when I would play Harpy's feather duster in Yu-Gi-Oh!.
#18261
Emo Poetry whenever the Thorn Elemental was summoned in Magic.
#18262
PISSBAGEL!!!! - In FinalFantasyTacticsA2, it was Clan [=PissBagel's=] warcry.
#18263
Heart attack - heart strike.
#18264
BOOOM- ONE SHOT!!!
#18265
The... interesting children this troper babysits are known for doing this while playing Super Smash Bros Brawl. Naming Donkey Kong's spinning punch "Power Punch", arrows fired as Link Kirby "Power Arrows", Samus' charged laser "Iron Cannon" and its fully charged ball of energy "Power Force 5". And we can't neglect to mention such classics as calling King Dedede's hammer a "banger". This troper found it difficult to keep a straight face when the kid said, "''Let's be Penguin! We both have bangers! We can bang people with them!''"
#18266
I call my "Shinigami Chop". People ''never'' expect such an attack and are utterly confused by the gratuitous Japanese. Also, given that I practiced Kenjutsu, my chop actually HURTS. Never tried the "Maka Chop" yet, because it needs a very specific kind of book...
#18267
This Troper, her cousin, and her cousin's friends are all major D&D nerds. We regularly yell out attacks and hurl crumpled up sheets of orange paper at each other, then roll for damage.
#18268
This troper once had an epic battle against his older cousin in the backyard of our grandmother's house one Christmas eve. Seeing as both of us where gamers, we where calling out our attacks; with names like Universe Bomb (The older cousin's version of Sephiroth's Supernova), Shooting Star Summit (My rapid spin attack, named after a major location from VideoGame/PaperMario), Hadouken (Pretty obvious where that one came from), and Salamander (A fire elemental attack; getting it's name from the lizard that Charmander was based on).
#18269
This troper's brother started a trend at his primary school for games like that.
#18270
This happens this troper and his friends all the time while playing Super Smash bros. Brawl. Whether it is the standard "Knee of justice" and "Wall of pain" to some really silly ones including "Farucon... PAAAAWNCH", "Scraaaaatch" (Link's spinattack) and "Jiggly... punch". It's pretty hilarious and should be done more often.
#18271
This troper does this in any MMO that allows macros hotkeyed to the skill bar, with CityOfHeroes being the big one. She has one for almost every attack, including a truly OUTLANDISH one for Brawl, the weakest attack skill in the game. Something like "Super Skull Breaker PUNCH!" ...for what amounts to basically a slap. HOWEVER! I have, on occasion, used it outside of video games. Such as shouting "Head shot!" when I punch someone in the face or calling out the body part I'm aiming for as I start the attack. "Knee! Leg sweep! Solople* connects* xus! KIDNEEEEEEEEEEEEY!" Mostly because, while not ''strong'', I hit fast. It's basically to make any fight sporting, since they're only training matches. ^^
#18272
This troper often says "SHAZAM!" when he is about to accomplish something awesome, and will always say "FALCON PUNCH!" when aiming for the face.
#18273
This happens all the time to this troper when playing Pokemon. Frequently things like, "Now Totodile, finish him! USE WATERGUN!"
#18274
You too? I thought I was the only one.
#18275
@/{{DoomTay}}: I used to do with with Force moves in StarWars games.
#18276
This Troper's sisters discovered the Naruto video games a while ago. They button -mash ''WHILE'' yelling "''BUTTON-MASH NO JUUUUUUTSUUUUU!!!''"
#18277
AssassinsCreed 2: Smoke Bomb + Double Hidden Blades = ''ASSASIN'S SPECIAL''!!!.
#18278
This Troper will do this in certain games. In Mass Effect 2, my main weapon of choice is an assault rifle with the incendiary ammo. While I normally like to conserve "ammo", when facing large enemies it is a hobby of mine to slam the trigger down unleash the entire 500+ stock while yelling "RAIN OF FIRE!!!!!" Also, in SuperSmashBros, I yell "Falcon Paunch!" when using Jigglypuff's punch, and of course "Donkey Punch!" with D.K.'s charged punch.
#18279
Not quite played straight, but hilariously similar. Back in this troper's gradeschool days, soccer games, particularly defense, were played with a very ridiculous tactic - when the ball was getting too close to the goal, the defending team went out in swarms, all yelling a continuous wail ("YAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!"). They called it the ''MX Missile Attack'' (don't ask why).
#18280
Almost shot in ice or floor or field hockey has an attack phrase from Super Robot Wars attached to it.
#18281
This Troper sometimes play bandy, but he does it hilariously poorly. However, the higlight of his matches is when he sends the ball flying in a completely random direction, accompanied by the shout "SCHRODINGER... SMASH!"
#18282
This Troper has a tendency to hit people with books when they really annoy him. SoulEater is my second favourite anime (after NGE). Book Violence+SoulEater=Maka CHOP!
#18283
This Troper uses the U.S. Artillery's warning ("SHOT, OVER" and "SHOT, OUT") whenever sending something on the way. Uses have included everything from tossing a wad of paper in the trash to sending a friend a file via IM. Usually said in a calm voice, as artillery units generally aren't under attack when they're delivering a fire mission.
#18284
In our D&D game, a friend had the feat Stunning Fist, which he would announce in this amazingly campy baritone ''Stunniiiing... FIST!!!'' combined with punching the air very slowly. The friend is no longer in the game due to the advent of children, but this has become a bit of a catchphrase for this troper.
#18285
This troper has done this in, of all things, chess. "''Ra7, fool!''"
#18286
At a Pokémon event, this troper watched a young boy battling another player. He was using an Altaria, and when it used Giga Impact he yelled "GET READY FOR '''GIGA IMPACT'''!" at the top of his voice. It did about 5 damage and his Altaria went down on the next attack.
#18287
While playing ResidentEvil5, this Troper and his brother noticed that for a 'superhero', Chris doesn't have any catchphrases. Cue references: CHRIS KICK!!, CHRIS BARRAGE!! and general silliness: CHRIS SPEED!!, CHRIS SNEAK!!, ...Chris fall. We were a little disappointed when he appeared in MarvelVsCapcom3 with generic military sayings for attack-calls.
#18288
This troper, his friends, his cousin, and sister once did this for a whole day for everything. for example #QUOTE# '''Me:''' "Dante, let's high-5!" (Dante is one of my friends) #QUOTE# '''Dante:''' "Let's!" #QUOTE# '''Both of us:''' "High-5 OF FRIENDSHIP!"
#18289
This Troper did it often while playing SuperSmashBors with Ganondorf with any single move just to make his younger cousin laugh. Sometimes I do the same with MonsterHunter.
#18290
While sparring, this troper told his sparring partner "I'm going to throw a lot of punches, and if any of them hit you, it's not my fault." It totally wasn't my fault.
#18291
While using a Bakugan Battle Gear's ability to win the game, this troper yelled "TERRORCREST ACTIVATE FIELD COMBINE DARKUS ABILITY ENGAGE!" a phrase which he made up on the spot. He was a little disappointed when it turned out he couldn't use the ability.
#18292
Having just signed up for a membership at the local Laser Tag place, once I earn abilities, I may have to call my attacks. If you got a chance to shout, in the middle of a pitched laser battle, "NUKE STRIKE!!!!!" wouldn't you?
#18293
ULTRA SUPER-DEE-DUPER HYPER MEGATON BURNING ENTRY-RETURNING CLICK! OF!! JUSTIIIICE!!!
