Line 23:
* ''[[Evil Zone]]'' did this with some of the more powerful attacks. The length of the animation changed depending on when and how often you used it: first use would get about ten or twenty seconds, subsequent uses would be shortened to all of five seconds, and a use that would land the killing blow would take even longer.
* The First Hokage's Ultimate Jutsu in ''[[Naruto]]: Ultimate Ninja 3''.
* The ''[[Blaz BlueBlazBlue]]'' series has:
** Astral Heats, [[One-Hit Kill]] moves with 10–20 seconds animations if they connect. Expect players online to [[Rage Quit]] while waiting for the Astral Finish animation to play out.
** Bang's Fu-Rin-Ku-Zan [[Super Mode]] suspends gameplay for several seconds while Bang powers up and the BGM announces how awesome he is. Bang players in ''Calamity Trigger'' would frequently perform Fu-Rin-Ku-Zan after the match was over, simply to waste their opponents' time.
Line 89:
* ''[[Valkyrie Profile]]'', max level Nibelung Valesti.
** VP was borderline on this with most finishing moves (noting a few exceptions). But ''[[Valkyrie Profile]] 2'' had nearly every finishing move be like this (and twice as excessive power wise).
** ''[[Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of the Plume|Covenant of the Plume]]'' takes the common-sense route and allows you to skip Soul Crush animations with the press of a button. Normal attacks are short and painless, and stringing them together is the core combat mechanic to begin with.
* ''[[Legend of Legaia]]'' has the Juggernaut summon animation. More generally, the way combat in the ''Legaia'' series works is that the player inputs a series of high, low, left, or right side attacks with certain combos resulting is special attacks which can even be strung together. The higher a characters level the more attacks they can use in a single turn. While this is useful for dealing high amounts of damage, it also meant that you can catch up on your reading while going through the final dungeon.
* Most attacks - especially special attacks and Mystech - in ''[[Anachronox]]''. It's meant as parody, though. A lowly [[Mook]] with an assault rifle fires about six thousand bullets in such rapid fire that it creates a veritable waterfall of expended shells? Why not?
