It has been a pretty common practice for fighting games to have a super spash of colors on a knockout

Example

Which games have your favorite splash visuals for this effect

Is street fighter the starter of it and best? I can't find a pic of it but didnt one of the sf2's have a harsh yellow and red one?

 

[Teknopathetic]

Virtua Fighter series.

 

[Hayama Akito]

Capcom vs. SNK 2's Finest KO is still epic.

 

[CommandThrower]

I've always been a fan of the slow fade to white in KOF games, right after you KO the final member of the opponent's team.

It leads to some epic "fade out" moments, if you will.

 

[Xpliskin]

Capcom 2D golden-era hands down.


I'd go with MVC 2.

 

[PSqueak]

the Jojo games on the CPS3 had these bitching manga close ups of the bloodied face of your oponent if you finished them off with a super.

Also, loved the first 3 vs games (XMvsSF, MvsSF and MVC 1 ) which displayed the names of the supers if you finished your oponent with them.

You guys gotta hit me with your pics or videos now! come on son

[dezzy8]

Here's KOF XIV's current "super KO" screen flash:

Now picture that fading to white, and now stop picturing it and see it for yourself!

Is it just me or does that look beyond awful? Like some kind of bad green fog.


Why don't they just make it 2d or atleast 3d rays like the old games? Would look so much better. The difference is quite stark. Thanks for the look

 

[RecRoulette]

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure

 

[AAK]

Mortal Kombat X's brutalities and Tekken 7's slow mo finishes are pure genius.

Ninja Masters for Neo Geo

Unfortunately it's not present on the Virtual Console version as all flash effects are forced to off for people who may be prone to seizures and may not be aware.

I'm not an expert, but I remember the flashy splash screen KO being added in Super SF2, prior it just had the slowdown and sound effect then the "KO" announcer voice and the background would animate very quickly.

wow. the picture couldn't do how bad that is justice. 0 impact.

its simple, not very crazy but not bad. I like the feeling of it, I wonder how a fighting game having some tone outs like that would look if it was put to other uses or messed with the look of it a bit more to add shadow changes, growth or color splashes around the players standing out against that background

For example, 2d mortal kombat fatalies with the blood splash would go very well on that white/gray backdrop

 

[Jack The Nipper]

This one would be up there for worse

Street Fighter Movie- has one at the start of the vid

street fighter 2 one isnt bad either

quick gif from the video, would like to find more cleaner videos of it if I can

 

[shandy706]

Does the way Killer Instinct handles things count?

There is some flash, but the biggest "show" is the backgrounds. Something Epic or insane usually happens to the environment as you do an Ultra Finisher.

(Like tornados touching down, or buildings falling apart, or giant octopuses (kraken?) destroying ships...etc)

Stage finishers also alter the backgrounds/stages where you can be killed in some flashy way by them.

 

[LongDongJunon]

I'm gonna love this thread.



Been a fan or Persona's for a lil while now. Simple but still stylish.

 

[Yaqoub]

Garou: Mark of The Wolves has 2 different ones if I remember correctly. Very well animated and epic.

 

[Mista Koo]

I really like Guilty Gear Xrd's.

 

[Rymuth]

+1 vote for Jojo

 

[Korigama]

Was always partial to the ones in KoF XI specifically.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

I really like Guilty Gear Xrd's.

The context really makes it since you then remember that it's actually in 3D.

 

[Vex_]

Does this count?

or the older ones:

 

[Menitta]

Just another SF, but I like SFV's Critical Art KO screen.
