View Full Version : Cheapest Fighting Game Moves

What do you think are the cheapest moves used either by you or against you in a fighting game? (be sure to specify which game)
Mortal Kombat 4: Goro has this move where jumps off the screen and comes down on you. It takes almost half your health!
Mortal Kombat 3: Shao Khan and Motaro can knock you clear across the screen with 1 hit and then shoot projectiles at you 'til you're dead!
Soul Calibur 3: Abyss has a move he likes to use when you're down. What it does is pull you in close to him, doing damage in the process. Its cheap because it does a pretty good amount of damage as well as put you in a bad position.
Street Fighter 2: I get angry when Zangief does the Spinning Pile Driver on me because it takes about half your health.
Those are just some of the moves...

Listen, Doom...you just suck at everything! Give up trying to be cool! Anyone who wears those spiky wrist bracelets...no...it's just not happening! You're not fooling anybody!

I'll have you know I lost those like 2 years ago T_T

I'd say the same goes for me, only with Bison. Hopping on my head followed by that damn Psycho-Dive thing of his... A-hole...

Naruto 4- Itachi's Counter Super, not only does it do a lot of damage but you can combo it afterwards and if you know what you're doing you can keep it going for an unescapeable 100%+ damage combo
Ultimate MK3 SNES/Genesis and MK Trilogy- Noob Saibot's no block ball. I mean come on, the only thing you can do is throw and block doesn't work. The duration is just too long and it's plain not fair.

Eyedol, from killer Instinct. Something I, and I'm sure alot of people, did.
1- Get far away from opponent.
2- Uses his special 3 projectiles move. Only way for the opponent to dodge is by jumping forward.
3-Wait untill the opponent does jump, and welcome him with Eyedol's ''uppercut'' wich he does by hitting you with his mass baseball style.
4- Repeat the process...
This was abusive really. Block the 3 projectiles, and suffer dmg. You won't have time to do anything before 3 other projectiles are already hitting you since the move was very easy and fast to do. Try to dodge, and get homeruned accross the room for another run at it.
You could use this combo right from the start of the battle. You could dodge the 3 balls, but not the bat waiting for ya. Oh, and did I mention that the baseball hit was unblockable...

Oh, Sagat is really bad, yeah. Especially because his normal moves have such a ridiculous range.
Also, that move where I don't stab Peanut in the face. That move is very cheap and should never be done. Ever.

Cheap? That damn centaur from Mortal Kombat 3. I'm all for having difficult boss characters, but when the character totally ignores the regular fighting engine -- meaning he can grab hold of you from across the screen and all his attacks have superior priority -- that's when I call it quits.

The rules of engagement clearly state: I need to sarcastically reply to your previous post before you're allowed to use one of your "Doom Zingers". Therefore, you are disqualified and I am claimed the winner.

True. I agree -- Sagat wins. I got so frustrated fighting that friggin giraffe that I mocked him at the top of my lungs, much to the liking of my son, who laughed so hard he was crying.

I actually found a way to beat that menstrual cramp. Use Scorpion and learn his combos. Try a jumping fist attack, followed by his punching combo and you'll land some hits. The teleport punch works sometimes, too.

A-F'n-men! I swear, every time Sagat pulls that move, he's able to connect it, even when you're distanced from him. Sagat's Tiger Uppercut definitely takes the cake.

Does Smash Bros. count? Link's downward stab always pisses me off.
ThirdMarioBro

About half of all the moves in Smash Bros could count as cheap....then again, that's what gives me an excuse to curse every time I'm playing someone, and it's so much fun to curse at your opponent. :D

Mega Man's mega buster as his "fierce punch" in Marvel vs. Capcom. Christ I've give a few people anyeurisms with that pain in the ass.

I almost forgot to mention this one:
In many games (most recent one being Mortal Kombat: Deception), the large boss characters can stagger your character by stomping the ground. Its just plain ridiculous! :x

Yes, Motaro is quite annoying. I especially hate it when the computers cheat and do 6 fireballs in a row.

Ryu: "Hey, Sagat, are you gonna do that damn Tiger Uppercut this time?"
Sagat: "Why the f*ck are you asking a stupid question that EVERYONE seems to know the answer to? You're damn right I'm gonna do it!"
Ryu: "AGH! You're such an a**hole, Fagat!"
Sagat: "It's SAGAT, Cryu! Jeez, is that bandana on tOo tight or something?"
Ryu: "Fine! I'll just keep hadokening you then since you want to be such a cheap slut!"
Sagat: "Eye ot the Tiger, dumbass! Eye of the Tiger!"
Ryu: "Tell the Tiger I said blow me and to stop making those f*cking Frosted Flakes commercials with that damn Remember the Titans song!"
Sagat: "Oh, you're going down, biotch!! HA-HAW-HAW-HAW-HAW-HAW-HAW-HAW!!!

Fox's reflect shield in the first Smash Bros FTW.
Or, for those rare few who can pull it off every time, Jigglypuff's Sleep. OHKO.

Like I said, Smash Bros is just cheap period, but I'm a cursing-fan, so yay.
Sheik is pretty f'n cheap in Smash Bros, but I use her, anyway. :D

I think we all know the characters who are going to get seriously nerfed in brawl:

Sheik

Probably my favourite fighting game of all-time, and one I'll neve see again, Clay Fighters, had more cheap moves than any fighting game ever made. A ton of them were ridiculously hard to pull off for a human player, but the CPU could pull them off without any problems on hard.
In particular, I remember three of them. Bad Mr. Frosty had an ice pick move that was impossible to defend against. Sumo Santa had some kind of belly flop move that destroyed over half your power bar, and Taffy had that whirlwind thing that did like 30 hits and was unblockable.
Man, thinking of all those awesome characters makes me sad. :cry:

Special moves in Marvel Nemesis are really cheap. You can just launch lame projectiles at someone from all the way across the room and they won't be able to dodge or protect themselves from them after you hit them with just one. Plus it auto targets.
Smash Brothers isn't cheap. I can beat the computer no problem, and my friends rarely ever beat me. I use Ganondorf.

Well the comps in Smash Bros are easy but they do cheat.

I just remembered these today while recovering from a headache...
As long as we're on the topic of Super Smash Brothers, how about that ridiculous Home Run Bat? I usually turn it off during battles because of the bat's 1-hit kill feature. Don't forget the hammer as well! Takes you out in 2 or 3 hits.

Actually, the bat doesn't do much damage unless you're at about 100% damage or more. THEN you go flyin'.
The hammer is irritating, however, though I like the throwback music. The good part about the computer having the hammer is that he'll fall into a chasm or go back and forth hitting nothing (or another computer player) until the effect runs its course.

Yeah, that is if you're playing with Ness.:P
The bat itself is a one hit kill if you Smash Attack with it, no matter how much damage you've taken or avoided.
To Kid Icarus:
Jigglypuff is the cheapest bastard ass fighter I ever played against, especially against my friend, J.T. aka 'Teh Masterer Betty.'
That's like the only time I ever got 4 stocked.:x

Isn't that only if Ness uses it? As long as I've played, I've never been completely knocked out of the stage when my opponent used the bat on me unless my damage percentage was high.
Then again, I haven't played for a while, and I might be remembering incorrectly.
That's what I'm here for.:D
The bat, used by anybody, executes the one hit kill if the victim is struck by it with a Smash Attack, thus the name Home Run Bat.
I don't think it is specialized in the hands of Ness since he uses a bat already, so it's just like everyone else.
However, I do remembr in Smash 64, Ness's bat could reflect projectiles if timed right with a Smash Attack.
Hmm...
Well, hey, mark me corrected, then.
