Move Name Generator

A good move name does two jobs: it tells you what the attack looks like, and it sounds satisfying when someone shouts it. Fighting games established most of the templates. Street Fighter uses Japanese compound words that literally describe the technique (Shoryuken is "rising dragon fist", Tatsumaki Senpukyaku is "tornado whirlwind leg"), while SNK favors English mash-ups like Buster Wolf and Power Geyser. Tekken names are blunt descriptions of the motion (Electric Wind God Fist, Machine Gun Kicks), and Mortal Kombat keeps things short and physical: Ice Ball, Spear, Teleport Punch.

RPGs and anime add drama by scaling the name with the power level. A basic skill might be Cross Slash, but the limit break is Omnislash; a jab is a Ki Blast, but the screen-clearing finisher is Spirit Bomb or Final Flash. Anime series often codify moves into a system, so Demon Slayer's breathing forms are numbered (Water Breathing Tenth Form) and Jujutsu Kaisen's strongest techniques get grand titles like Domain Expansion and Hollow Purple. Wrestling goes the other way, naming finishers after the wrestler or a pun: Rock Bottom, Stone Cold Stunner, Sweet Chin Music.

The list below spans quick specials, mid-tier supers, and cinematic ultimates across all of these styles, so you can build a full move set with a consistent voice.
