Board 8 > Best of the Trope Season 2: Day 9 - Signature Move

(+) Yeah! (+)

Hello everyone, and welcome back to Best of the Trope!

Here are the rules. Each day, I will post a trope from TV Tropes, and each poster can name up to three examples of that trope. Whichever nomination gets the most mentions wins! Posters may also name as many Honourable Mentions as they like, but they are purely optional and will not count towards the running score. You may look at the TV Tropes page for that day's trope for examples, but you do not have to pick all your examples from the page. You can nominate whatever examples you like, as long as they qualify for the trope. Each trope will last around 24 hours before the next one goes up.

Posters may also nominate any tropes they wish to see come up during the series. This is optional, and you don't have to do it every day, or at all. Just bear in mind that I may close trope nominations temporarily if the list gets too long. Tropes will be randomly selected from the list each day, except for some occasions where I will pick a thematically appropriate trope that may or may not be on the list.

Here's the list of previous tropes, so if you wish to nominate some tropes, check on here that it wasn't previously done in Season 1. http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Best_of_the_Trope

Here is the current list of tropes.

Evil Brit
Jack-of-All-Stats
Karmic Death
Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain
Laughably Evil
Walking Spoiler

Without further ado, let's get started!

Today's trope is Signature Move. Here is the link: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SignatureMove

Many characters have a specific skill, attack, taunt, evasive maneuver, and/or spell they use more frequently than any of their other ones; this is the character's Signature Move.

TL,DR: A move that is commonly associated with the character that uses it.

Nominations:
Sonic Boom (Guile, Street Fighter)
Avada Kedavra (Voldemort, Harry Potter)
Splash (Magikarp, Pokemon) (I'm having a bit of fun with this one)

Lots of good ones to choose for this trope, enough so that it's difficult to narrow it down to three.

I'll go with these for now:

- Inhale (Kirby)
- Falcon Punch (Captain Falcon, Smash Bros.)
- Clanging Scales / Clangorous Soulblaze (Kommo-o, Pokmon)
