My Favorite Supers in Fighting Games
Trying my best to stick to just the best of the best because otherwise this list would be wayyyyyy too long.
Somewhat ordered? Idk, I'm trying not to think too much about the placement.

Potemkin: Heavenly Potemkin Buster
https://youtu.be/sUdE0D4dO6E?t=2
Winning a round by predicting an airdash and hitting them with this gorgeous command grab is the most dopamine inducing thing in human history.

Iori - Maiden Masher / Wolf Bloom
https://youtu.be/TZgGIzqdoN8?t=249
Supers cancelling into other supers will always be hype, especially when they start with the forever iconic barrage of Maiden Masher and finish it off with the maniac deranged laugh of Wolf Bloom.

Answer - Instant Kill

The best looking one from the great gallery of instakills in Xrd, there's a real Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm PS2 vibe coming from it that I'm all here for.

Dio - Tokiyo-tomare!
https://youtu.be/CamPXxfl7Lw
Not that good in practice but the idea of a super that completely stops time and enables legendary flashy combos such as these one is just beyond cool even if it means its 90% for show, because the show is just that damn good.

Phoenix Wright - The Ace Attorney
https://youtu.be/4_CWmdmYkiQ?t=685
Phoenix Wright leaks your dm's and it kills you out of cringe, makes no sense but it also does given the character, I really dig how they adapted him in the Marvel series.

Urien: Aegis Reflector
https://youtu.be/gWpwrmzX8QE?t=264
Its my Mr Button Clicking Jones of a super everytime I get a knockdown near the corner, stupidly fun and insanely versatile to play around, even if less on the flash side as far as supers go, if you play Urien I bet this is 90% of the reason why you sticked with him.

Faust - Stimulating Fists of Annihilation
https://youtu.be/DlHDQkv9_vg?t=373
There's no secret here, its just le funny fingers in the ass super, I really like how characters react to it and the fact that there's not only multiple outcomes, but also "counterplay", is what elevates this one to a favorite status.

Doctor Doom - Doom Time

Fucker just sits in a goofy ass gaming chair and watches you die for 4 seconds until he gets BORED, its so good, Doom is really just HIM in Marvel 3...

Flash - Speed Zone
https://youtu.be/EzD8jJwylYY
Incredibly stupid, he goes back in time and punches you in the sphinx for no reason, then goes back further and pisses off a dinosaur yet again for no reason, then goes back in time creating a time-loop-thing and punches you with yourself. Also that alternate version of the flash that is there drags your other version meaning the combo actually keeps going for your alt version.

Hanzo - Sealed Scroll: Shadow Particle
https://youtu.be/ZKj61x5Syzs?t=35
The definitive "fatality" for Samsho, given how more resourceful and less focused on the use of the blade for Hanzo, this weapon flipping technique makes sure your opponent has nothing left to fight, while possibly leaving them to agonize on the spot instead of dying, classy and flashy.

PTX-40A - Shoulder Arsenal
https://youtu.be/uQDYCP-6Fk4?t=835
A cinematic interactive super meant to be used as a neutral tool is an extremely interesting idea, you can change it to confuse your enemies with 3 different sets of actions, that forces your opponent to try to guess and punish in their downtime due to how much cheap it deals, and if you hit it all, its the single most damaging super in the entire game.

Ryu - Shin Shoryuken
https://youtu.be/_2bv6k3cjrc
The best encapsulation of what 4 was going for in regards to the black Ink aesthetic over exaggerated 3D models, the camera angles, the complete silence of the soundtrack, the slowdown, the goofy ass pose the opponent makes while at it, it not only fits so well, but feels much more impactful than any other DP super I have ever seen.

Peacock - Goodfellas

Weird fucking things gang up on you and then you explode at the end, just great. Big fan of that small 8ball with a comically large bat in particular, love that one.

Shizumaru - Hurricane Shredder Slash
https://youtu.be/sWFA5LIk5KA?t=565
One of the reasons to why I like the exaggerated use of blood in Samsho when compared to the ones in MK is that I feel like a lot of the time, they have a purpose beyond realistic gore attempts meant to traumatize the people working in it, and nothing better uses violence as a means of storytelling than with this super.

Luigi - Negative Zone

Its so good, and weird, that it was actually the turning point for me to actually give Luigi's Mansion a shot eventually, and yeah it fits the character, somewhat.

I play Urien with about 60% of the reasoning being Aegis Reflector, others are because of Chariot Tackle (which combines with Aegis for my all-time high) and getting to pretend I'm Gill outside of XCOPY in single player.
The funny wok super grapple by the chef guy from Chaos Code would probably still end up on my nonexistent list.
