Favorite beam/charge-up effects?
Title says it all.
I myself like the crackling charge and shimmer effect that Godzilla 2000 had as well as the sound effect for the beam itself.
The 1954 Godzilla's charge up looks wonderfully eerie with the black-and-white film.
MonsterVerse Godzilla's electronic hum while charging also seems to be a favorite. I kind of prefer the more flamethrower-like ray of 2014 than the solid beam of 2019.

Re: Favorite beam/charge-up effects?
My favorite charge-up sound effect is definitely the ones from GMK till FW. As for the beam itself, I love the Showa sound effect from KKvsG onwards, Millennium (again from GMK till FW) and ShinGoji (which was of course a mix of old sound effects).

MonsterVerse Godzilla has the most satisfying charge noise, makes every atomic blast after it feel that much more impactful.

MV Ghidorah’s lighting up.
The hum of G14.
The sound of KG’s beams in the Showa and Heisei films.
Everything to do with every Mechagodzilla.

Seeing Godzilla's back light up was a highlight of that film. It's high on my list, but the best one for me has to be the 54 charge up. The black and white gives it a more dramatic pulse and glow.

Re: Favorite beam/charge-up effects?
Both the 1954 spine-pulsing effect and Shin Godzilla's entire charge sequence do it for me.

Re: Favorite beam/charge-up effects?
That thumping, popping sort of sound that can be heard as Kiryugoji charges up was really cool. G14 with his tail-to-head charge and that awesome humming sound was spectacular. G2K's spines full-on igniting was different and cool, and I didn't mind at all that his beam was orange.
The sheer "oh, shit" factor of Shin's laser apocalypse warrants a mention, too. I don't know if I want to see it become standard going forward, but his annihilation of Tokyo was really something to behold.

Re: Favorite beam/charge-up effects?
Kiryu Saga and Monsterverse are both in my top favorites for their sound effects and lighting up. Showa's atomic ray is also definitely amongst my favorites, as is Millennium's sounds and flair.
My most wanted fight ever is Discord vs Bobobo-bo bo-bobo.
Godzilla has a regen like Wolverine, a skin like Luke Cage, a hero aura like Captain America, a strength like Hulk, an unstoppability like Juggernaut, an immortality like Deadpool.
There's a 'God' in Godzilla for a reason...

G2K's is up there. The crackling energy sound is great.

Re: Favorite beam/charge-up effects?
I love the 70s one. Not so much the charge up but just like the quick flash of the spines then that flaming neon blue stream.
Otherwise, I'm most of the aforementioned. Shin, MV, 2000, 2001, and so on.

MV Goji's charge up is pure eargasm.

Re: Favorite beam/charge-up effects?
Yeah, Godzilla 2000's charge effect is really cool. My other favorites include Godzilla 1954 because the way it glows white against the darkness is so eye-catching in a haunting way, MonsterVerse Godzilla because the blue light going from the tip of the tail to his head is very neat, and Shin Godzilla charged up to use his beam for the first time because of how eerie it is.

I love Final Wars'. Sounds like Kiryu-verse on adderall and pure uncut Columbian.

Re: Favorite beam/charge-up effects?
Showa Godzilla's curved beam has really grown on me, too. I disliked it as a kid because it doesn't really make sense and is obviously just compensation for special effects miscalculations, but eh, it's part of his goofy charm, I guess.

Re: Favorite beam/charge-up effects?
Three-way tie between Kiryu Saga, MV, and Shin. They all have great sounds, but I like the build-up from MV and the phased system from Shin most.

Re: Favorite beam/charge-up effects?
Showa of course is a favorite of mine, but I'm also a big fan of the various Millenium charge ups and beams (GMK and Kiryu saga especially). The original 1954 one is pretty awesome too. Come to think of it there isn't a single one I dislike!

Best kaiju game ever. Like, seriously, awesome to play and full of cool little nods to the films that make it up. Ten out of ten. Worth waiting for.

Re: Favorite beam/charge-up effects?
Godzilla (SP) has a truly badass charge-up. Love the line of smoke rings along his line of sight.
