Destiny exotic swords all have a really cool R2 special skill the animations and feedback are amazing. It reeks with brutal element power
 
Dude, is Roy's stance from Jotaro (Jojo's Bizarre Adventure) or is it the other way around? Because that's the stance he also uses in the Capcom fighting game for his special

Holy shit that's an awesome reference!
That fighting game (and Jojo in general) has to predate that Fire Emblem.

IIRC these all variations of the same move, they all start as the same move and then the player decides how it continues.

Satsuki's OTG shenanigans. This applies to all of her moons, but Catsuki gets the sickest stuff.
 
It's FFXV

Everyone's freaking out over the fist bump but this one is way more badass imo. Too bad the gif isn't a bit smoother!

"Hey, hey guys. Watch this ;)"

*Topples elephant thing*

"Fuck ye-" *loses balance from follow through*

"I meant to do that."
 
This thread is basically "Japanese action games" the thread. xD

Although God of War has its fair share of awesomeness!

What game?

By the way, does anyone have GIFs of that fan-made game in UE4 that looks like FFXV? The combos in that trailer look sick.

It's the Gundam Extreme VS series. :)
 
Shoutout to Noogy's Dust. I really like the dust attack though I couldn't find a good gif of it with some Fidget effects.

Fuck the lack of attack on healers in newer FEs. Makes playing them a lot more annoying.

Dark Souls backstabs are always great.

Super Robot Wars... I have nothing because I'm too lazy to gif them. SRW is a crossover game with heaps of different mechs from across a variety of anime such as Gundam, Eureka7, Evangalion, Macross and such. It is pure fan service and more awesome the animation on attacks are so good. So the next closest thing we have to this that i know of is...

Project X Zone 1/2
Crossover game featuring many favourites from Namco and Capcom? Fuck yeah!

Gotta love the pair-specific tag team throws in Dead or Alive 5: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXMDuuzWO14&t=20

Super Robot Wars has been mentioned, but I love how Royal Heart Breaker much such a spectacle or itself that it plays out like a stage performance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvYY8VAs_vI

On that note, Queen's Blade Spiral Chaos took the very plain attacks from oldie Wonder Momo and expanded them into this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCUeGTc1wpw

There are also some pretty good (team) attack animations in Namco X Capcom, Endless Frontier and Project X Zone.
