Standing Kamehameha (常置かめはめは) is a stand-charging version of the Kamehameha used by Gohan in his Super Saiyan 2 form. First, Gohan simply stands powering up for the Kamehameha while saying, "Ka... me... ha... me...". Then, he draws his cupped hands back down to his right side and charges the Kamehameha. Finally, Gohan brings his hands forward and fires the attack with the final syllable, "...ha!" at the opponent, inflicting a powerful amount of damage.
Gohan used this attack during his battle against Perfect Cell. Realizing he could not defeat Gohan in his Super Saiyan 2 transformation, Perfect Cell flew straight up into the air and fired a massive Kamehameha down at Gohan, believing if the young Saiyan dodges it, it will destroy the entire Earth. Fortunately, at the last minute, Gohan quickly counterattacked with the Standing Kamehameha, overpowering Perfect Cell's Kamehameha and destroying the Android's legs, left arm, and the two straight sections on top of his head. However, Perfect Cell was able to regenerate due to possessing Piccolo's regenerative ability in his cells and continue the fight.
Standing Kamehameha was named, "Super Kamehameha," in Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 and Dragon Ball: Raging Blast and is one of Teen Gohan's Blast 2 attacks in his Super Saiyan 2 form. It also appeared in Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Battle 22, where it is named "Motion Cancel Super Kamehameha." (モーションキャンセル超かめはめ波)
