Fortnite players can't get enough of DBZ's absurd finisher

pcgamer.com:

The Fortnite x Dragon Ball crossover(opens in new tab) recently launched in Epic's all-conquering, brand-crossing metaverse, introducing OTT elements from the series as well as four characters (Son Goku, Vegeta, Bulma and Beerus). Mainly, though, players like the Kamehameha special attack, which is both fun to say out loud and a giant opponent-slaying energy beam launched in midair.

The move has to be acquired before using (here's how to get it(opens in new tab)) and does seem slightly overpowered, melting through opponents in seconds, but that is why players love it. I mean, the Kamehameha is supposed to be this legendary baddie-boshing finishing move, so it feels like it should be capable of taking out John Cena.

The amusement factor, though, is partly the move itself but then the wider world of Fortnite. You can pull this off with all sorts of characters, accessories, and emotes around it, leading to the daftest combination imaginable. We'll get to the wackier ones, but first some of the more straightforward DBZ love, contextualised by Fortnite's array of branded expression:

Here are two DBZ characters winning a match with the move, after which Goku does Gangnam Style in celebration.

Of course, it doesn't always go to plan… bit of strong language near the end of this one.
