opponent is on the mat alongside regular finishes certain Superstars also have the ability to perform a Super finisher which is a more powerful move that deals three times as much damage though in order to perform one you'll need to use three stored finishes to check if the superstar that you're playing as has a super finisher available you can pause the game and check out the move screen in this example Cody rhods has the crossroads Trinity assigned as a super finisher so let's go back to game play and try this out first we need to make sure that we have three stored finishes which are indicated by the three yellow segments once you have three finishes stored you'll notice your finisher meter will become electrified to indicate that a super finisher is now available super finishes
