I would have to say the hook and a muay thai style round kick.

Hahaha, as usual i am going to be difficult...

Punch - Backfist
Kick - Groin Kick

Roundhouse kicks and hook punches are good, but a backfist will stop 'em and a groin kick will drop 'em...
Problem is i don't get much of a chance to use my backfist (which is lightning fast btw)...

No way does a backfist deliver as much power as a hook or cross. The hook and the cross both had the added advantage of hip torque which the backfist does not.

I'd go with a straight punch towards the stomach, as lowering the punch will help it gain speed and gravity will make it seem harder.
And for kick, I'd go with a side sick, preferably with a slide or sidestep to start it off.

Angus I do agree a bit with your backfist technique. It is one of my most effective hand sparring techniques. Many find it hard to really get the hang of. I know I did at first.

It is kind of fun to have someone standing in stunned silence "what was that" not knowing what hit them, or how.

Front kick to groin = Kin Geri

I like the reverse punch, the only thing that annoysd me about it is the footwork!

I think the most powerful and deceptive technique would have to be the oi zuki (lunge punch like in taikyokyu shodan . even though im a studnet of shi-to ryu karate we do the taekyokyu's as kiyon kata . if done proaperly this punch is almost unstopable in my view.

I think that ronryu definitely has a point there. Earlier i said that a straight punch was most effective but if you lunge into it your power will amount to be much greater then it was before.
