Ken's Shoryuken (Street Fighter 2)
Sonic's Spin Attack (Sonic 2)
Mario's Jump (Mario 3)
Toon Link's Hurricane Spin (Wind Waker)
Magus' Black Hole (Chrono Trigger)
Dixie's Helicopter Spin (Donkey Kong Country 2)
Pikachu's Thunderbolt (Pokemon Stadium)
Mega Man's Mega Buster (Mega Man 7)
Ness' PK Rockin (Earthbound)
Yoshi's Ice Melon (Yoshi's Island)

Pretty good mix of useful, cool, and iconic attacks, I think. Sonic's Spin Attack is probably my favorite, it's fun to use.

I like Clairvoyance in 'Psychonauts'. It's funny.

Oh, that reminds me of Mallow's Psychopath technique from Super Mario RPG. You can read the thoughts of enemies, and it's pretty fun. Not at all useful though, so just an honorable mention.

You know, the reason I like Clairvoyance so much is that it's symptomatic of the clever writing. Like, in the Milkman Conspiracy, Clairvoyance makes you look like whatever kind agent whose accessory you're holding, but then...like, Clairvoyance doesn't have much purpose outside Milkman Conspiracy, only if you turn it on aroud the other characters...Sasha sees you as a young version of him, Milla sees you as a cutie-pie baby, Sheegor sees you as Jesus, Lili sees you as Knecht im scheinenden Panzer, and Ford sees you as an official Psychonaut. It's a sweet little touch, man.
