The Standing Kamehameha is a stand-charging version of the Kamehameha used by Gohan in his Super Saiyan 2 form. First, instead of performing hand movements, Gohan simply stands powering up for the Kamehameha while saying, "KA-ME-HA-ME." Then, he draws his cupped hands back down to his right side and charges the Kamehameha. Finally, Gohan shouts the final syllable, "HA!", and fires the attack at the opponent, inflicting a powerful amount of damage.
Gohan used the attack during his battle against Perfect Cell. After realizing he could not defeat Gohan in his Super Saiyan 2 transformation, Perfect Cell flew straight up into the air and fired a massive Kamehameha down at Gohan, believing if the young Saiyan dodges it, it will destroy the entire Earth. Fortunately, at the last minute, Gohan quickly counterattacked with the Standing Kamehameha, overpowering Perfect Cell's Kamehameha and destroying the android's legs, left arm, and the two straight sections on top of his head. However, Perfect Cell was able to regenerate due to having Piccolo's regenerative ability inside his cells and continue the fight.
The attack is seen in Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3. In this video game, it is named, "Super Kamehameha", and is one of SSJ2 Teen Gohan's Blast 2 attacks.
