Beyond the Impossible/Video Games: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

* One of the rules of ghost tricks in ''[[Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective|Ghost Trick]]'' is that {{spoiler|you can only resurrect a corpse that has been dead for less than 24 hours, and only go back to four minutes before their death.}} In the final level of the game Sissel realizes that {{spoiler|Yomiel's shell has been kept suspended at the moment of death by the Temsik fragment, and it only technically became a corpse when the fragment was removed.}} He exploits this rule to go back to four minutes before the corpse's death, {{spoiler|which occured ten years ago.}}

* ''[[Iji]]'': Assassin Asha can dodge almost all attacks you throw at him on his second fight, including a ''nuke'', even though you're fighting him within an enclosed space. A '''''nuke'''''. A nuke that, in his previous fight with you, triggered an instant victory.

* ''[[Ace Combat Joint Assault]]'': In the second phase of the {{spoiler|final Sulejmani}} fight, he can suddenly do a bullshit roll maneuver to dodge pretty much all your missiles, something no one else can do. [[The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard|Not even you in the same plane.]]

* [[Ar tonelico]] has two examples and justified in both

** [[Ar tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica]] Melody of Metafalica. The game likes to mention how only one person at a time can dive into a single reyvateil with a ''two'' person dive being a big deal that only the most skilled therapist can perform. Jacqil says Frelia can handle ''four'' people at once. Everyone shouts how impossible this is, and normally they would be right, but Jacqil reminds them that Frelia is a goddess and so can handle it easily. Croix' response is pretty much, "oh yeah....I forgot..."

* One fact about [[Final Fantasy X]] you're unlikely to discover during the main quest: you can break the cap on HP and MP! {{spoiler|Granted, it's only by one digit each.}} For a plot example of this trope, see the main cast {{spoiler|screwing the rules on [[Eldritch Abomination|Sin's]] death-resurrection cycle; whereas killing it temporarily via a [[Heroic Sacrifice]] was considered the only way, they kill it permanently without a sacrifice.}} It was like taking the book describing how the world works, throwing it out the window, and writing a new one.

* [[Battle Clash]]: Eddie and the ST Valius. This guy is so fast he can jump out of the corner of one side of the screen and reappear from the other less than a second later, landing in the same exact spot. In other words, he manages to cover the entire span of the stage you're on in a single jump. The stage in question (the Tower of Babel) is a ''giant space elevator''.

* At one point [[Bayonetta]] starts a motorcycle by [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|jamming her middle finger into the ignition switch.]]

** Similarly, killing {{spoiler|[[God|Chakravartin]] was said by Chakravartin himself to be an impossibility.}}

* Almost all of Cerberus of ''[[Mass Effect 3]]'' is semi-huskified and heavily indoctrinated. Check out their reaction to Shepard showing up on Mars;

** Now realise that Shepard is actually scaring the hell out of people who ''can no longer think or feel anything for themselves''.

** At one point in ''[[Mass Effect 3]]'', Garrus and Legion are debating [[Running Gag|weapon calibration]]. Legion insists that the maximum possible improvement is .32% percent. Garrus tinkers with the weapon, and manages to pull .43% improvement, baffling Legion.

* [[Mega Man NT Warrior]]: Explicit in the ''fifth chapter'' of Takamisaki's manga, {{spoiler|regarding how quickly Lan and Mega Man achieve [[Synchronization|Full-Synchro]].}}

** There's an ''implicit'' [[Beyond the Impossible]] if the Epilogue, where MegaMan's and ProtoMan's fight is dubbed "Tera-class". Those familiar with [[Mega Man Battle Network|the series]] should recognize the fact that the series [[Power Levels|Battle Chip Tiers]] don't go beyond Giga.

* [[Mother 3]]: Meta example. The [http://mother3.fobby.net/or/ online readme], about halfway down the page has a list of every hack that had to made in order to make the translation work. Buried in there is this gem:

* In [[Star Wars: The Force Unleashed|The Force Unleashed]] Carbonite is known for its ability to [[Power Nullifier|sever a Jedi's Force connection]]. However, Starkiller can still use the Force to break out of carbonite with ease.

* [[The Legend of Spyro Trilogy]] Post stage 1 of the boss fight. Scratch and Sniff manage to somehow pick Skabb off the ground and carry him out the window despite him being gigantic compared to them. Spyro and Sparx [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshade]] this.
