Line 23:
** ''[[Dragonball Z]]'' has a straight example during the fight between Goku and Vegeta after he's become a Majin. Don't think about the fact that Vegeta should probably have shorter reach.
*** Or that since high-speed fighting is the norm for DBZ and fight scenes are meant to be very serious that the moment the trope is played straight it's accompanied by a few seconds pause ''and'' a cartoonish sound effect.
*** There's also a [[Like Father, Like Son]] moment where Goten and Trunks land cross counters on each other in exactly the same manner their fathers did.
* In ''[[Death Note (Manga)|Death Note]]'', L and Light Cross Counter each other during the Yotsuba arc, after Light tries and fails to convince L that he couldn't be Kira. L uses a kick to fulfill his end of the Counter.
* Done by Ichigo and his dad in the first episode of ''[[Bleach]]''.
Line 45:
* ''[[Porco Rosso]]'' does this during the fight between Porco and Curtis.
** The whole scene demonstrates that the two are really poor fighters.
* A variation with fencing sabers was done at the end of Char and Amuro's [[Sword Fight]] in the finale of ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam]].'' They rushed each other, [[Single
** Setsuna and Graham's battle at the end of ''[[Gundam 00]]'' season 1 is pretty much the same, except that they're in their BFS-wielding [[Humongous Mecha]] instead of on foot.
** Another sword version in ''[[Gundam Seed Destiny]]'' during the {{spoiler|Freedom's final moments: Kira managed to put a [[Laser Blade|beam sabre]] through the Impulse's head, while Shinn ran the Freedom through with its anti-ship blade. Little wonder who won that fight, even if Kira did put the Impulse out of commission for a few episodes.}}
Line 107:
*** Yet another version of this could be Heihachi's Headbutt Carnival throw, which is functionally identical to his other, similliar throw in appearance, but characters who possess headbutt attacks of their own can avoid getting knocked down by it and counter-headbutt Heihachi right back...who can then counter-counter their headbutt and repeat the sequence until either character screws up the input or runs out of life first.
*** Paul Phoenix and Forrest Law perform a cross counter in their ending in [[Tekken Tag]]...but instead of a punch, they both kick...and instead of their faces, well, [[Groin Attack|their reactions say it all.]]
* In ''[[Mad World]]'' with the power struggle between Jack {{spoiler|and the Black Baron}}, trading a jab, an uppercut and a ''headbutt''. If Jack wins, he ends with a hammer fist with both hands, while if {{spoiler|the Black Baron}} wins, he lets loose a [[Single
* ''[[Persona 4 (Video Game)|Persona 4]]'' features this in Yosuke's Max Social Link event where Yosuke wishes to be seen as the Main Character's equal. In response, they choose to have a [[Ho Yay]]-filled brawl that ends with one of these.
* ''[[Tales of Vesperia]]'' has this as a skill where more damage is given for [[Counter Attack|attacking an attacking enemy]]
Line 121:
* Dexter and Mandark in one episode of [[Dexters Laboratory]].
* In ''[[Futurama]]'', when [[Action Girl|Leela-A]] and [[Mirror Universe|Leela-1]] attack each other in a perfectly symmetric way, they collide their foreheads and both are knocked out.
* In ''[[Transformers Prime]]'', Optimus Prime and Megatron perform one during the opening theme, with the show's title appearing before the moment of impact. They do this to each other a few times in the actual series, as an [[Opening Shout
