History Main / SpinningPiledriver

* Morrigan of {{Darkstalkers}}, surprisingly. Odd considering she's a [[HornyDevils fairly skinny succubus]], but there are signs of her strength around. She can even deliver this move to building sized characters in TatsunokoVsCapcom.

* Kotaro's third super art in ''SengokuBasara 3'' is one of these.

* Futaro's third super art in ''SengokuBasara 3'' is one of these.

* Wario uses this move in ''Wario World''.

* The Front Lotus in ''{{Naruto}}'', as used by Rock Lee, Might Guy, Kakashi, etc.

* Morrigan of {{Darkstalkers}}, surprisingly. Odd considering she's a [[HornyDevils fairly skinny succubus]], but there are [[MostCommonSuperpower signs of her strength around]]. She can even deliver this move to building sized characters in TatsunokoVsCapcom.

* In ''[[GundamVsSeries Gundam Vs Gundam NEXT Plus]]'', the [[GundamZZ ZZ Gundam]] has the standard Spinning Piledriver as one of its most damaging moves. The [[GundamWing Epyon]] has as a combo finisher an Izuna Drop performed while in its [[TransformingMecha flight mode]], but this move is more impressive-looking than damaging.
** A subversion in that Epyon's Izuna drop can actually land it in a bad position if it is not a kill primarily because the recovery for it is SICKENINGLY huge. The time it takes for them to get up may actually be shorter than you being able to recover your boost, resulting in a big opportunity for them to counterattack. This is especially dangerous when fighting enemies like the Aegis where they can revenge with the claw grab and return to you more damage than you incurred to them.

* Kraidgief in ''IWannaBeTheGuy'' uses Zangief's Spinning Piledriver as a FinishingMove.

* The MostTriumphantExample for the many ninja that use this move is Ryu's Izuna Drop in ''NinjaGaiden''.
** The Spanish ninja Vega in ''StreetFighter'' can execute the Izuna Drop after using his special jump move and landing above his opponents' head.

* Nero in ''DevilMayCry 4'' has an attack with his [[RedRightHand Devil Bringer]] that's a {{Homage}} to Zangief's Atomic Buster. (Both series are made by Capcom.)

* Justin Credible's finisher, named "That's Incredible," is a spinning belly-to-belly piledriver. This move is ''somewhat'' possible [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yz572FFYBYg in real life]]
** In fact, starting in the [[WorldWrestlingEntertainment WWE]] video game, ''SmackDown vs. Raw 2009'', you can CREATE a SpinningPiledriver FinishingMove. It's not nearly as [[RuleOfCool cool]] as Haggar or Zangief's Jushin Liger-style versions, but it's an actual, honest-to-goodness SpinningPiledriver.

* Can be done in the ''{{SpiderMan}} 2'' video game.

* In ''[[GundamVsSeries Gundam Vs Gundam NEXT Plus'', the [[GundamZZ ZZ Gundam]] has the standard Spinning Piledriver as one of its most damaging moves. The [[GundamWing Epyon]] has as a combo finisher an Izuna Drop performed while in its [[TransformingMecha flight mode]], but this move is more impressive-looking than damaging.

* The Epyon can use this as a combo finisher in ''[[MobileSuitGundam Gundam vs Gundam NEXT+]]''. It can be used immediately after any move that you did as long as you have boost left although it drains the rest of your boost regardless of how much you had left. It is not very damaging though.
** It is also one of the ZZ Gundam's most damaging moves. Even more than being blasted with [[strike:a]] TWO beam cannons.

* Zangief in ''StreetFighter 2'', who has it as a special throw command. It would later be followed by Mike Haggar from ''FinalFight''. While Mike Haggar used the spinning clothesline first, Zangeif developed the spinning piledriver, which Haggar then copied in Final Fight 2. Both versions are the same - Zangief and Haggar grab their opponents, then jump into the air while spinning (which is physically impossible), and slam them down into the ground. Seth in ''4'' also has one (copied from Zangief), in a more purer form. He sets it up by uppercutting the enemy in the air, and then teleporting into them for the spinning piledriver.

* In the ''OnePiece'' anime, Buggy used this as a finishing move on a Blugori.

* Mike Haggar from ''FinalFight'', who has it as a special throw command. It would later be followed by Zangief in ''StreetFighter 2''. Both versions are the same - Zangief and Haggar grab their opponents, then jump into the air while spinning (which is physically impossible), and slam them down into the ground. Seth in ''4'' also has one (copied from Zangief), in a more purer form. He sets it up by uppercutting the enemy in the air, and then teleporting into them for the spinning piledriver.
** ''StreetFighter 2'' predates ''FinalFight 2''. While Mike Haggar used the spinning clothesline first, Zangeif developed the spinning piledriver, which Haggar then copied in Final Fight 2. He originally just used a very high jumping normal piledriver where he flips the other guy upside down when he's at the top of his jump and slams him to the ground.

** Kraidgief in ''IWannaBeTheGuy'' uses Zangief's Spinning Piledriver as a FinishingMove.

* Justin Credible's finisher, named "That's Incredible," is a spinning belly-to-belly piledriver. SoYeah, this move is ''somewhat'' possible [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yz572FFYBYg in real life]]

* Wario uses this move in ''WarioWorld''.

* Nagase in ''KingOfFighters: Maximum Impact 2'' copies HattoriHanzo from ''SamuraiShodowns's'' version.
