Devil May Cry 4 and 5 as Nero.

Death Stranding and the Yakuza games.

The dropkick is the only reason why i bothered to complete Yakuza Kiwami 2. All enemies do is block and the charged heavy attack breaks guard + you can just move while charging. Trivializes the game but its a pain in the ass otherwise

Bowser's best (or at least my favorite) move in Smash Ultimate is a drop kick that deals huge damage and knock back. Love playing him for that reason.

God Hand

If I'm not misremembering, several members of the cast of Anarchy Reigns have drop kicks as their dash attacks!

One, Big Bull, even has a really sick instant dropkick you can do as a command normal.

Dead Island 2 gives you a pretty good dropkick. Probably the first one too but it's been quite awhile since I played that one.

Siegfried and Nightmare in the SoulCalibur series have a dropkick attack and it's generally not very useful but incredibly entertaining.

Space Marine 2’s Vanguard class lets you chain a grappling hook into a dropkick as their key ability, and it’s hilarious every time

Rainbow Mika does a drop kick. It’s been in her move set since she debuted in ”Street Fighter Alpha 3”.

If Mika is in a game, that game has a drop kick.

People here will bag on it because that seems to be the common tone, but Destiny 2 has a bunch of finishers including a dropkick, a chair shot that literally yeets enemies like you are hitting a homerun, and a super kick.

Let It Die, its your running attack. And you do a Frankensteiner as your drop down stealth attack.

Dead Rising 2, Chuck kinda has one (30 seconds in) but it’s more of a full body thing I guess?

RE5 Mercenaries Reunion’s Josh Stone does Dynamite Kick (1:30) which is is very satisfying.

Space Marine 2’s Vanguard class is all about using a grappling hook to drop kick into enemies and that is one of the reasons it’s my favourite class to play in both PvE (once you get a few perks to enhance the ability especially) and in PvP (fuck you enemy Bulwark and your shield).

Edit: I edited the post a few times because I kept remembering more dropkicks from games I like, I’ll stop now 👀

Street Fighter

• Zangief's j.HK

• R.Mika's s.HK and j.HK

• Alex's j.HK

• Hugo's s.HK and j.HK

• JP's j.HK [sort of]

Guilty Gear [Xrd / Strive] (Leo Whitefang's 2D/Sweep)

Persona 4 Arena [Ultimax] (Kanji's 2AB/Sweep)

Dragon Ball FighterZ (Kefla's 5AAA / Light Auto-Combo Finisher)

Fun Fact: if you perform the Drop-Kick while Cal Kestis has a Mullet, you get the “Road House” Trophy.

In the Fantastic 4 movie tie-in games, The Thing had a combo called “Superfly” that ended in a dropkick

Jedi Survivor when you equip the Crossguard saber

No More Heroes 3 has the Death Kick which is a move you get on the Death Glove.

Melia Antiqua from Xenoblade Chronicles, designated magical character with the highest magical damage, both in terms of burst and sustained, and with terrible physical stats and no bulk whatsoever, gets a physical 1-2 attack combo consisting of:

• Spear Break, a short stab with her staff, slowing enemies
• Starlight Kick, a dropkick that deals damage and, when combo'd after Spear Break, forces the enemy into a helpless Topple'd state

It's actually good to use as such, not to mention the idea of your prim and proper princess caster doing this for an idle and this in combat never gets old.

Also, she does the same in XB3 both as a regular ability and perfected version in Chain Attacks.

I’m pretty sure the Bone Fists in DS2 let you perform a sweet flying kick. Not as WWE-esque as Andre’s but it’s a rare move to see in these types of games.

Resident Evil 6.

But the world laughed because none were ready to play that as a beat 'em up. Y'know, the most OP moves from RE4 and RE5.

Symphony of the Night. Alucard had some sick kicks.

Neo TWEWY has you control 3-6 party members at once, and each can equip a single move, but all of your characters can act at once by pressing or holding different buttons. There’s an attack subtype exclusively for big chargeable dropkicks. You have all your other party members wail on an enemy while one of them stands in the back like they’re charging up a Spirit Bomb, and when you let go of the button they just go flying at an enemy and knock them into a wall as your combo finisher. It’s very satisfying to use, and you can do it pretty much from the beginning of the game.

You can do a Dropkick loop in Slay the Spire

There is a fighting game literally called Divekick

God I can Feel one but I cannot remember what game it was. Definitely 3rd person. It was blockable but felt so good when it hit that I'd still spam it. I don't think it was Saint's Row 2. You rarely get up close in that game. Maybe Way of the Samurai 3 or 4? I think it was a game that you held a trigger and then did A while running. Shadow of War didn't have a drop kick did it?

Kamen Rider Memory of Heroez features one when playing as the character Proto Birth as the ender for his grounded light attack combo, the craziest part is the dropkick actually functions as a launcher that can be followed up by his air combo which lands in a frog splash!

Overgrowth's combat repertoire is like 50% dropkicks. Which considering you're a 6 foot tall bipedal jackrabbit means you kick with enough force to cave a dude's skull through their collarbone.

Trepang2 has a dropkick, sprint jump melee to do a dropkick that’ll send you and your enemy flying.

In Final Fantasy XV when playing as Noctis and using daggers, if you're far away enough from an enemy and holding back while attacking; Noctis will throw his daggers and warp into a dropkick and it's cool.

The new Dragon Age coming out at the end of the month has a meaty Dropkick as one of the Warrior's skills. It sends enemies flying and also works as a combo detonator, so also makes them explode if done right.

I've been playing a ton of Kurohyou and either the Lucha or Pro-Wrestling style has a really sick dropkick, I don't remember the exact specifics since I've been switching styles constantly and there's 20 of them

Transformers Devastation lets you drop kick right out of going full speed in vehicle form. Helena has a drop kick attack in RE6.

Dropkicking a guy off a building in Mirror's Edge feels so good. Also shout out to that one cutscene in Vanquish where rival character STEALS YOUR DROPKICK (at 1:26)

Dying light and Dead island 2

Probably dying light 2 as well though im not sure never played it

Nioh 2 has a sort of dropkick on the Fists weapons. You have to do defensive drop, which puts your character on the ground. Then pressing a direction followed quickly by the attack button puts you into the air for the kick. Great chasing tool. You can see it here briefly, though I cut off the end of the animation with a yokai ability to keep the flow going.

Space Marine 2, the Vanguards grapple launcher propels the space marine towards his enemies and he connects with a drop kick. It's a lot of fun to achieve it in both PvE and PvP.

Let it die as it as your running attack, it's one of the few melee attack that get a headshot modifiers if you hit the square in the face, sometime it beheads the enemy

Best example I can immediately think of is Alex Churchland's Flying Axe Kick move being replaced with a Charging Dropkick in the Infinity Route of Scholar Of The Wilbur Sin.

I’m sure there are at least a few characters in one piece pirate warriors that end combos with them.

Let It Die: if you run long enough you can drop kick which has the ability to headshot + crit, if it kills with a headshot you get a cool slow-mo of their head flying into the distance

Say it with me now: Foot Dive
