The rainbows in Call of Duty are parabolas because they arch. -Ryan Wilczynski



Parabolas are used in artillery games such as Worms 3D. The rockets shot out of the bazookas move in a curved path. This curve is a negative parabola. This is used so the rocket can curve into a goup of enemies, causing mass destruction.-Michael M



Parabolas are also used in fighting games such as Street Fighter. The character Ryu has a technique known as the Shoryuken, which is a juming-uppercut. To execute this technique, Ryu starts with his arm behind his back, then he cuves the uppercut and jumps as it hits the opponent. This curve is a positve parabola. This parabola is used to give force to the uppercut, making the impact greater.-Michael M



Here is another example of parabolas in fighting games. This game is called BlazBlue(blaze-blu). The character Ragna,as you can barely see, is executing his technique, The Gauntlet Hades. Ragna starts on the ground, leaps into the air, swings his arm in a curved motion(while it is engulfed in dark energy), and the hit makes contact with the oppent(unless they block of course). This motion is a perfect negative parabola. This is,again, used so that the enemy experinces large amounts of pain.-Miachael M
