Description
In the fighting games industry, an Ultra Combo is a high-impact, visually impressive move designed to inflict a large amount of damage on an opponent. These moves often serve as a game-changer and can turn the tide of a match. To perform an Ultra Combo, players usually need to fulfill specific conditions, such as building up a special meter or performing a series of precise inputs. The execution often results in a dramatic animation sequence that highlights the character's unique abilities, adding to the excitement and spectacle of the game.
Examples

- In 'Killer Instinct,' each character has their own unique Ultra Combo that can be performed when the opponent's health is low. Jago's Ultra Combo, for instance, involves a flurry of rapid punches and kicks followed by a devastating energy blast.
