Meteor Smash

Dragon Ball Z: Super Butōden, 1993Dragon Ball Z: Hyper Dimension, 1996 is a Rush Attack used by Goku in his Super Saiyan form.
==Overview==
Goku delivers a sickening punch to his opponent's stomach, following up with a second punch to knock them away. Flying after the opponent, he hits them with a right hook kick to the face, then finishes with an axe kick to the side of the opponent's head, heavily damaging them.
==Usage==
Goku uses segments of this attack during different portions of his battle against 100% Full Power Frieza on the dying Planet Namek. After being elbowed into a cliff by Goku, Frieza attacks and knocks Goku down to the ground, mockingly asking if Goku is satisfied. However, Goku stands up and shrugs off the attack, retorting by wondering if that was the best Frieza could do. Angered, Frieza tries to attack Goku again, but Goku dodges the attack and counters with the first hit of the Meteor Smash, causing Frieza to momentarily crumple to the ground. When Frieza attempts to return the favor, Goku uses the rest of the Meteor Smash to send Frieza crashing across the ground.Dragon Ball Z episode 103, "Pathos of Frieza"

In the Butōden series, it is named Meteor Smash where it is a secret attack for Goku and Super Goku. The attack is part of the Meteor Attacks.
In the Budokai Tenkaichi series, it is one of Goku's Blast 2 in his Super Saiyan form. However, each game changes the way the attack is performed. For instance, in Budokai Tenkaichi 2, Goku finishes the attack by kicking the opponent up, knee striking them in the back, and using a Double Axe Handle to knock them down.
In J-Stars Victory Vs, it is one of Goku's special attacks where an initial elbow rush knocks the victim away and barrages them with attacks with teleporting in between them to finish with a Double Axe Handle.
In FighterZ, Goku immediately transforms into Super Saiyan 3 before using the Meteor Smash and ends it with a fully powered Super Kamehameha (in a similar way he uses the Super Dragon Fist). A variant of the move was added in a patch on August 9, 2021, which costs less super meter but lacks the Super Saiyan 3 transformation and side switching. This variant was originally in the game's coding but went unused until it was cleaned up and implemented in said patch.
In Dragon Ball Heroes, it is one of Super Saiyan 4 Goku (GT)'s Super Attacks. The Super Attack starts with the two punches but ends with Goku moving behind the opponent and hitting them with a point-blank Ki Blast.
In Dokkan Battle, it appears as part of Super Saiyan Goku's Fierce Hand-to-Hand Battle Super Attack.
==Trivia==
