Meteor Attacks, also called Meteor Smashes, are ultimate special attacks introduced in the Butōden fighting game series. They are secret combos that are performed as desperation moves when the character's life meter has greatly decreased. All the playable characters can perform a meteor attack in the Butōden series, except some characters in the first Dragon Ball Z: Super Butōden, Captain Ginyu in Dragon Ball Z: Buyū Retsuden, and Supreme Kai and Android 18 in Dragon Ball Z: Super Butōden 3.
In Dragon Ball Z: The Legend, Meteor Attacks take place in a cutscene and finish off the opponent when one side of their life meter is depleted. In Dragon Ball Z: Supersonic Warriors 2, techniques similar to Meteor Attacks are called Ultimate K.O.
