special move
noun1
Video games An exceptionally powerful fighting move.
- The fighters move around nicely but when they carry out their special moves it occasionally gets rather confusing. You have the usual kick, thump, jump and duck moves plus others depending on whether you're playing Haggar, Guy or Cody.1991, James Leach, Final Fight (game review in Your Sinclair issue 70)
