Talk:special move

RFV discussion
"A move, usually in fighting games, that involves forces of nature or paranormal powers instead of physical force." Convince me. Equinox ◑ 22:16, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
 * If citable, and I think it might be, it would be a more specific case of sense 1. If you think of Mortal Kombat and Steet Fighter, a fireball isn't physical force like a punch, but I'd be happy to integrate that into sense 1, thus making sense 2 fully redundant.

 * That seems a sensible (special) move!   D b f  i  r  s   07:58, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

RFV failed, sense removed. —Ruakh TALK 03:32, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

Cut out the rather encyclopedic (and incorrect) definition and you get "A move that is special". -- Liliana • 07:28, 19 April 2013 (UTC)


 * This is the "set phrase" for these, especially in fighting games, but the meaning does seem obvious. Note it's sometimes also just called a special, e.g. (from Google) "They'll need to give SF [Street Fighter] characters some better specials." Equinox ◑ 14:25, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. Mglovesfun (talk) 14:41, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
