Best Weapons/Spells/Techniques

Psychic Dominator from Yuris Revenge. Not only did it turn your opponents own people against him but also did a shockwave about as powerful as a nuke attack. That's pretty badass.

Also, Strider Hiryuu's Cypher sword beats a lightsaber any day.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

No, not really. Boomers are the best navy unit in the game (you can build them very early on, they are unaffected by squids, have very tough armour, and combine 2 subs and a dreadnaught for half the price), and Gattling guns are the best (non-mass) anti-air weapons. Magnetrons can juggle 3-4 other tanks on the hands of an expert (plus they have huge range). Lashers are good medium tanks for their price, and UFOs can depower the WHOLE BASE. For base defense you can put gattling and lasher tanks in Tank Bunkers, it will increase their range, power, defense, and makes them fire about 3 times as fast. Virus troops are good anti infantry and Initiates are absurdly overpowered inside buildings (they can take out an apocalypse tank before it can fire back). That and Yuri also has much better economy (slave miners), and an infinite source of money using the Genetic Mutator and the Grinder.

Of course without Mind Control its much easier to overpower a Yuri player just with numbers alone.

How ya doing, buddy?

Tizocs Big Ball Griffon comes close. He grabs the opponent and slams them to the ceiling of the screen, then does a very painful suplex into the ground with them. For 50% damage.
The only other throw move that has the opponent being slammed to the wall that I remember would be Jin Saotomes "Saotome Crush" from Marvel vs Capcom, in which Jin, this crazy madman who otherwise pilots a skyscraper sized mecha, grabs the opponent and in a clockwise motion slams them to the wall, the ceiling, the other side of the wall, the ground and to the original wall again.

Anyway, my favorite would be the Ion Cannon of tiberian sun. Does humongous damage and takes out all but the most powerful buildings/units in one shot, and also leaves a nice whole in the ground.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
