Finishing move

Finishing moves in video games are player character moves that often involve the violent and gory death of the enemy it is performed upon. The most (in)famous examples of these types of finishing moves are the "Fatalities" of the Mortal Kombat franchise, which involve attacks ranging from decapitation of a defeated opponent to even eating them whole and spitting out the bones.
Other games featuring finishing moves include Bionic Commando, Cardinal Syn, Samurai Shodown, Mace: The Dark Age, Killer Instinct, God of War, BloodRayne, Eternal Champions, Tattoo Assassins, The Kung-Fu Master Jackie Chan, Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War, Kasumi Ninja, BloodStorm, Ultra Vortek, Time Killers, Way Of The Warrior, Unreal Championship 2, Primal Rage, Weaponlord, Gears of War, The Warriors, Smackdown Vs. Raw, and Ninja Gaiden 2.
Finishing moves or the equivalent thereof also frequently appear in Console RPGs as well. Examples include "Limit Breaks" in Final Fantasy VII, "Purify Weird Soul" in Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth, or "Deathblows" in Xenogears.
