[Discussion] Ability names!

[Saikyokami]

Why is it that EVERY anime character feels the need to yell to the top of their lungs the name of the ability they're using? It makes it so much easier to counter....

Like say im fighting irl and i said LEFT HOOK! do you think someone's not gonna be able to dodge that? like I just clearly told you what im doing.. wot

 

[Lyke]

You wouldn't say left hook because It's pathetic but If you had a power like Narutos You'd yell RASENGANNN

 

[Everztar]

it's just the way it is... because otherwise... no one would ever know what the ability was? XD

imagine naruto never saying anything... and we'd go around saying "yeah omg did you see when naruto used that weird ball against obito's face inside of the dark world dimension?"

"omg i wonder if that was with sage mode or not sage mode..."

"omg that weird ball was pretty big, i wonder if it's a regular weird ball"

"omg sasuke has such a cool lightning finger... but kakashi's lightning fingers are way cooler!"

"did you see when Sasuke threw black fire from his eye? that was amazing"

"Goku did some lightning sphere that was blue... did you see it? i wonder what it was"

i mean... many abilities would never have had an name if it wasn't because they yelled it =p

 

[Lucidus]

if i had power ide yell out certain names of my techs .-.

plus this could also be used to your advantage U_U feints U_U

 

[Titania Erza]

I already yell HADOKEN when playing Steet Fighter imagine if I had it IRL XD

 

[straightup]

you know this has crossed my mind many times. Like in the old kung fu movies they yell flaiming fist of heaven or some shit like that. or even better is when they start comparing fighting styles. Your dancing kitten is no match for my blind man running. lmao. never understood that. guess im gonna start doing that when i fight. left jab! Duck, Right Hook, Uppercut, Knee to the face!!

[Meee]

Yeah that shits lame why cant they be more like Avatar characters i dont see them yelling out "fire bending" when they bend fire lol

I already yell HADOKEN when playing Steet Fighter imagine if I had it IRL XD

HADOKEN is different, You just have to say it man

 

[Yusuke Urameshi]

Yeah that shits lame why cant they be more like Avatar characters i dont see them yelling out "fire bending" when they bend fire lol

Because in Avatar there are no techiques. It's just...bending elements.

OT: Simply, it's for the audience.

 

[Clouds]

Otherwise the technique won't work. :c

 

[Flakez]

Because the readers need to know how a certain technique is called.

 

[ultraChalk]

There are very few characters who don't do this and they're usually very cool

 

[GhostProject]

You can bet if I had Kamehameha I would be yelling its name every time

Well Avatar isn't even an anime anyway.
