Best Moments In Action Games/RPGs

[daoman89]

For anyone that has played Monster Hunter, Smash Bros, Mario Strikers, or any other game that is capable of a great moment, there's always that one or many moments that make you feel proud.

Just recently in Monster Hunter Tri, a Rathalos tried to fly charge at me but I smacked him right outta the air.  Moments like those makes you feel great.  Please feel free to share a moment of yours from any game!

Well, I don't have the video anymore. I deleted it off of my Youtube account a while ago, I don't have a copy anymore, and I can't find it in my replays...

...but I was playing Falco (actually Random, as I always do) in WiFi against Zelda's Din's Fire (as in, that's all the opponent did), and we both end up in sudden death. I leap from the lower left platform over the center platform to the lower right platform as the Zelda uses Din's Fire immediately from the upper right platform.

The plan:
-Land on lower right platform as my reflector cancels the Din's Fire. Immediate buffered Upsmash. Profit.

What happens:
-The game hates me and turns my reflector into a Falco Phantasm past the platform and over the edge.

I fall towards the acid. As I'm about to facepalm the hardest I have ever in my life, I bounce back upwards from the acid, still DIing slightly to the left just enough to crash into Zelda, knocking her into the air with me. We both get KOed, but Zelda gets the screen bump death animation while I scream and spin around the background about to Star KO. Suffice to say, the game counted her death first, netting me the victory anyways.

I have many Smash Bros moments.  One from Melee me and my friend dubbed Freezie Star Headbutt Smash is when we were on the DK stage with the crocodiles jumping up to kill you and it was a team match, us vs the computers.  He grabs a freezie and freezes the guy, I instantly grab a star and smash into our opponent, then he keeps the combo going with a headbutt and then I meteor smash him from the headbutt into the watery abyss!  It was awesome and we do have it on video

Or the one I dubbed the revenge meteor smash.  Melee again.  DK kills me and i got really mad in the pokemon stadium so my friend hits DK and he starts to come back as I am responding.  I just straight out of the respond platform and Meteor Smash the hell outta DK before landing on the stage.  It was extremely satisfying!

I've had almost a dozen moments similar to Ed's. I'm a jaded ****er.

I have a moment from Battlefield 2142 where my squad of six took a building overlooking a control point. I'm not in the mood for writing about the events in fantastical action-narration, so I'll keep it brief: We held the building down for half an hour, killing about a hundred of the enemy team's members, before they finally managed to flush us out with two battle walkers and three squads flooding up the stairs. I was one very busy medic that game. Got a Gold Star (first place, most points earned out of 64 players).

Many great moments in brawl, most of them not saved because of the time limit though. But a lot of great falcon punches have been delivered by a friend of mine. There is nothing he can't paunch. Everytime you're about to get a kill he just uses that momentum to falcon punch the enemy in the air. They get hit by a mine, they fly up to die, gets falcon punched in the face. He got some awesome timing with that thing.

Also pictochat with 4 ganondorfs and a selected arsenal of weapons. Madness.

Favourite moment must be my friends huge fail in worms armageddon. Just another worms day, he throws a grenade. Gets it wrong. Explodes and hit one of his own worms and a mine. The mine rotates into the air and activates from passing a worm. Lands next to a oil can that explodes and ignites a second oil can. The worm close to the second can glides over to a mine that goes of and he flies straight into another worm and pushes him down a ledge on top of a third worm and they all 3 land on another mine gets blasted and lands in the water.
At the same time this happened the worm struck by the grenade in the beginning just finished dancing with 6 mines and the fire from two oil cans have just burned another worm to death. The total death toll was 6 worms. All of them his own.

I love worms for that reason.  You never know when something awesome like that's gonna happen.

Most of my favourite moments, unfortunately, have been scripted parts of rpgs so I may as well be talking about my favourite films : p  I've definately seen some stuff along the lines of what you guys are talking about but I don't have a very good memory >_> ...

TF2: Deflecting a crit rocket back at a Soldier is just a massive "F*** YOU!" right in their face! It's great!

Smash Bros: Hitting someone out the screen with a fully-charged B attack from Ike.

Arkham City: Beating up 30 thugs without taking a single hit, then watching Batman dust himself off as if nothing even happened.

And I have a friend who doesn't like Worms. Can you believe that?

[Archem]

I stay the hell away from grenades for that very reason.

[Cerebus]

Fun with Holy Hand Grenades and Super Banana Bombs...
I've had a few nice moments in various games, too. Only problem is my memory fails to bring back these moments in my head. So yeah...

This. Also, killing a spy, then being the only one around who can destroy his sappers.

Just thought of one. Not all that awesome, but still nice.
I was playing Call of Duty (yes, I know) and someone threw a flash grenade in my face. As a reflex, I sort of just tried to turn and... well, I don't know, maybe I wanted to walk back from where I was. However, I often accidentally press on the analog when I try to turn fast, resulting in a knife hit in the air. The number of times i died due to that...
However, this time, this accidental knife lead me to kill the one who flashed me (as in... throwing a flash grenade, not showing breasts). That was pretty nice.

That's all that came back to mind, though. My memory sucks.

[Archem]

Oh? I had a game of counter-Strike where I killed a team of five (all headshots) while spraying after a flash went off in my face.

So, you know, suck it.

[Cerebus]

Well mine was accidental, making it better. Hah!
