Favorite Video Game Move/Ability?

What video game special move or ability do you enjoy using the most? It could be from any kind of game, like fighting games, rpgs, action games etc. Weapons don’t count, unless the weapon has a special ability other than shooting and slashing. Some of my favorites are the Nova Bomb from Density, the Sith Warrior’s Obliterate ability from SWTOR and Thoron from the Fire Emblem series and Smash Bros. [spoiler]Fades Away[/spoiler]

    Cole’s lightning storm attack from inFamous 1 and 2 (mostly just inFamous 1 though, the punch and flair of it in the second one just didn’t match up to the original). The ability in my opinion is pretty much a master class of showing the player what it is, what it does and how to use it effectively. It’s the final power you acquire in the final district of the game (pretty much represents Cole at his apex of power) and as soon as you get to the surface to begin using it. The game gives you an unlimited power supply and a large bastion of enemies grouped up relatively close to each other in a straight line like fashion. When you activate it, the sky darkens around you highlighting the blue or red channelling out of Cole’s arms and then a massive flurry of lighting strikes down in front of you and continues to viciously attack the ground going forward in whatever direction you steer it. It [i]decimates[/i] everything including vehicles so you know straight away this thing is op as -blam!-. The power of it is further highlighted in how loud and brutal it is as it hits the ground, even more so when it hits someone or something. You get to repeat this 3 times in different areas to learn completely how to use it effectively. In the space of 1 minute, the game shows how destructive it is, when it’s the best time to use it and how to control it so you can adjust the trajectory for maximum damage. [spoiler]Infamous 2 just doesn’t get what made the original ability so amazing, it puts the ability in Cole’s ion ability slot (which already has much better abilities like the vortex which you get at the start of the game compared to lightning storm which is acquired late game), removed the ability to control the direction of the lightning storm and even nerfed the sound of the lightning. In the first game you can really feel the impact of it hitting the ground and the game makes sure you do, in the second you just hear little hisses of lightning.[/spoiler]
