Cheapest Fighting Game Moves

Brian · 07-18-2006, 01:04 PM

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...

Anything and everything Vega has in his arsenel. He's a cheap-ass character.

*Dr. Doom* · 07-18-2006, 04:23 PM

I will whoop your ass with Vega without any damn special moves.

Peanut · 07-18-2006, 04:38 PM

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!

*Dr. Doom* · 07-18-2006, 05:29 PM

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...

The Clerk · 07-18-2006, 10:16 PM

any MK 1-3 i would do the cheap ass move with simply press down and kick and do a sweep kick.... any character....

it's such a cheap move... o_O

*Deathknight* · 07-18-2006, 10:41 PM

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.

Sagat and his evil Tiger Uppercut in Street Fighter II.

I swear, you can't jump for sh*t.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 07-19-2006, 03:02 PM

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...

*Dr. Doom* · 07-19-2006, 05:02 PM

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.

*Ecto Jedi* · 07-19-2006, 08:46 PM

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.

The Liu Kang flying kick. It's so fast and you never see it coming...ever.

Yeah, that one sucks. Only when its used against you.

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.

*Mecha Cow* · 07-20-2006, 05:02 AM

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

**ThirdMarioBro** · 07-20-2006, 05:26 AM

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.
