Description
Ranbu, often translated to 'wild dance,' refers to a special move in fighting games where a character executes a quick succession of hits, usually resulting in significant damage if all attacks connect. This move is visually dynamic and is often a crowd-pleaser due to its flashy nature. Ranbu attacks are usually activated by a specific combination of joystick movements and button presses. The move often leaves the opponent with very little chance to escape once it has started, making it a high-risk, high-reward strategy. Ranbu moves are typically associated with characters that have a martial arts background or a very aggressive fighting style.
Examples
- In 'The King of Fighters' series, the character Kyo Kusanagi has a signature Ranbu move called 'Orochinagi,' where he unleashes a series of fast, fiery punches and kicks.
- In 'Street Fighter,' Ken Masters has a move called 'Shinryuken,' a Ranbu-type attack where he performs a rapid, spinning uppercut that hits multiple times.
Additional Information
- Ranbu moves often require precise timing and execution, making them more suitable for experienced players.
- These moves can be a game-changer, especially in close matches where every bit of damage counts.
