Some of us like to give our monsters signature moves: attacks, combinations, or maneuvers that they're almost guaranteed to use at least once in a battle. These usually aren't listed in the monster's stats (though they can be). Instead they're an attack/power/maneuver or series of attacks/powers/maneuvers done in a specific and unique way.
Neo-Spacegodzilla
Shoulder Tackle: A plain name for a devastating attack. NSG rams his opponent at high speed with one of his shoulder crystals. This actually originated from way back when I used Spacegodzilla in TK's Arena. I've been tempted to rename it "Diamond Cutter" just for the sake of giving it a more proper name, but eh.
Flechette Storm: NSG shatters several crystals with his telekinesis, then uses the shards to perforate his opponent. It's sort of an evolution of an attack I used with Spacegodzilla in TK's Arena that I called Crystal Tomb, in which he would surround the opponent with a ring of several (I think 6) crystal missiles, with another 4 positioned over their head, and he'd then have all of them converge on the target at once. The first time I used what could be called the Flechette Storm was at OR's Kaiju Wars: New Dawn RPG. NSG was fighting Riptide, and Riptide damaged his crystal tower. With his power source failing, NSG absorbed all the energy he could from the tower, shattered it with his telekinesis, and hurled the fragments at Riptide. It was pretty epic.
Suchodon
The Death Roll is probably the closest he has to one.
Pavoroc
Feint: Pavoroc makes his opponent think he's going to do one thing, then hits them with something else. Usually his Wing Lightning and Dazzle are the ones involved.
Orion
Knees to the Face: Orion grabs his opponent by the head then repeatedly knees them in the face.
Throw Away Weapons: Orion regularly drops his weapons when their magazines are spent and reloading or storing them would take away from his momentum.
Dragus
Tyrannosaur Chokeslam: Dragus grabs his opponent by the throat with his jaws, then lifts them up before slamming them to the ground.
Ride the Lightning: Dragus charges forward, stabbing his horns into his opponent. He then lifts them up and begins surging electricity deep into their body through his horns.
Heavyclaws
He's got bunches, and if I went and listed them all here now that would take away the fun and surprise of revealing them throughout his first match. So I'll just add them here as I post them in the match.
ROCKETTO PAAAAAANNNCH!! (Rocket Punch): Heavyclaws fires off one of his claws to strike his opponent at long range. He's a Super Robot homage/parody, after all. He couldn't NOT have this.
SUPEEYAAAA KEEEEK!! (Spear Kick): By launching one of his claws and grabbing either onto a large object behind his opponent or or directly onto the opponent itself, Heavyclaws leaps into the air while retracting the cable at high speed, resulting in him being drawn sideways toward his opponent. While in the air he extends the legs on the side closest to his opponent, stabbing them into the opponent on impact.
So yeah, anyone else have signature moves for your monsters?
