18 Most Iconic Signature Moves In Video Game History

16. "Sonic.BOOM!" - Guile (Street Fighter)

It's hard not to focus on fighting games for this list, as the genre itself has always had great success seeing its characters yell their moves before pulling them off. That said, some are more well-known than others, and alongside Ryu's "Hadouken!" or Sagat's "Tiger Shot!" is Guile's immortal "Sonic Boom!" Known for the confident yell the yellow-haired militant bellows upon its creation, Street Fighter IV's screen-filling Sonic Hurricane Ultra Combo and the fact it's brought about through sheer force of movement, all combines to make this one of the straight-up coolest moves in gaming history.
