Line 25:
* At the end of the second season of ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 00]]'', {{spoiler|Setsuna gets his [[Humongous Mecha|Gundam]], the 00 Raiser, pretty much destroyed by [[Big Bad|Ribbons]] [[A God I Am|Almarck]]. Ribbons's Gundam, however, is also heavily damaged, so he takes the GN Drive he stole from the 00 Raiser and installs it on his old Mobile Suit, the 0 Gundam, that was drifting nearby. But then he gets attacked by Setsuna, who has installed the other GN Drive from the 00 on ''his'' old Gundam, the Exia. And they proceed to fight with their outdated Gundams. Gotta be the only mecha series when the hero got a [[Mid Series Upgrade|Last Episode Downgrade]].}}
** It also happens in the first season's finale. {{spoiler|Setsuna and Lasse start off piloting the GN-Armour Type-E against Alejandro's Alvatore, then the main bodies of those two are destroyed, leaving Setsuna's Gundam Exia that was inside the GN-Armour against the Alvalon that was inside the Alvatore, which Setsuna defeats by throwing six of swords at it. Then Graham Aker comes in a custom "GN-Flag", and they fight with Exia's one last weapon - his GN Sword/Rifle - against Graham's beam saber. By the end of the fight, neither machine is destroyed, but both of them are essentially floating wrecks with Exia's cockpit simply torn open.}}
* ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team]]'' had this towards the end, with a battle between Shiro and an enemy devolving to the point where he ends up beating the enemy with the severed arm of his own mobile suit.
* Revy and Roberta's first duel in ''[[Black Lagoon]]'' begins with a car chase across the city, then becomes a deadly game of hide-and-go-seek at the docks, then finally ends up as a no holds barred fist fight that lasts ''all night''. {{spoiler|Roberta wins, just.}}
* The absurdly epic battle between Negi and Rakan in ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' eventually ends with just the two of them slugging it out... for ''fun''.
Line 84:
* This trope is nearly universal in [[Tower Defense]] Games, when experts aren't playing. It is a consequence of the difficultycurve and the fact they are [[Endless Game|EndlessGames]].
* If you drag a gunfight out for too long in ''[[Deus Ex]]'', your foes will run out of ammo and try to stab you.
* In ''[[Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots]]'', {{spoiler|the final battle between Old Snake and Ocelot starts as an over-the-top cutscene brawl before entering into a three-stage fight (each stage reminiscent of the previous three ''[[Metal Gear]] Solid'' games), and degenerates into two exhausted old men slugging it out with each other.}}
* Speaking of ''[[Super Robot Wars]]'', one particular level ends with [[Duel Boss]] battle between Sanger and Wodan. Both of their machines get severely damaged in the cutscene beforehand, and you have three turns to defeat Wodan before the level ends anyways. To get the [[Bragging Rights Reward]], you will have to throw ''everything'' at Wodan, and by fight's end, Sanger's machine will be stripped of pretty much all energy, Spirit, and be on its last legs.
* ''[[Fallout 3]]'' requires that you maintain your weapon and armor conditions so that you can equip and use them effectively. A similar effect can be inflicted on enemies, as shooting their weapon enough time will cause it to have a 0% CND rating, making it unusable to them. Interestingly enough, the weapons can still be used for repair despite the damage.
