Meteor Attacks, also called Meteor Smashes, are ultimate special attacks introduced in the Butōden series.
Overview[]
Meteor Attacks are secret combo that are performed as desperation moves when the character's life meter has greatly decreased. All the playable characters can perform a meteor attack in the Butōden series, except some characters in the first Dragon Ball Z: Super Butōden, Captain Ginyu in Dragon Ball Z: Buyū Retsuden, and Supreme Kai and Android 18 in Dragon Ball Z: Super Butōden 3.
In Dragon Ball Z: The Legend, Meteor Attacks take place in a cutscene and finish off the opponent when one side of their life meter is depleted. In Dragon Ball Z: Supersonic Warriors 2, techniques similar to Meteor Attacks are called Ultimate K.O.
In the Budokai Tenkaichi series, Meteor Attacks are a series of Blast 2 attacks with the word "Meteor" included in the name. They usually include a barrage of punches and kicks, sometimes ended with a Ki Blast. Meteor Attacks in the Budokai Tenkaichi series are mainly used by Goku. Meteor Attacks are also used in Dragon Ball: Raging Blast and Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2 as melee Super Attacks.
In the Xenoverse series, three Meteor Attacks (Meteor Blow, Meteor Strike, & Meteor Crash) appear as common rush based Super Skills used by various characters. Vados has a Meteor attack variation of her Destruction's Concerto called Destruction's Concerto: Meteor. There are also a few Meteor Attacks that appear as Ultimate Skills such as Death Meteor, Meteor Burst, and Gigantic Meteor. In Dragon Ball Legends, Goku (DBL16-01S) Energy Sphere technique from Dragon Ball Z: Super Android 13! appears as his Special Move Arts under the name Energy Meteor.
