* In ''[[Dungeon Keeper Ami]]'' by Pusakuronu, Mercury invades the Avatar Islands - a blasted wasteland of dead rock and populated by thousands, if not ''Millions'' of undead and ghosts. Her initial attack is mildly successful. But Zarekos' counter attack has her on the ropes. At that same time Mercury discovers that Arachne, a rival Keeper with a grudge has deployed a force of several thousand giant spiders, and Keeper Morrigan who lands troops on Ami's beachhead, denying her access. What dose she do? She pits the mindless undead against the spider army, allowing both to kill the other off. She then follows this up with a brutal Blitzkreig that utterly smashes Morrigan in the feircestfiercest, most one-sided fight in the series.
** What makes this such a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] is that three Keepers (Arachne, Alphel, and Nero) all stage a simaltanioussimultaneous attack on her dungeon almost directly after this, after weakening her forces and forceingforcing them to fight on a battelfieldbattlefield of their choice. It's close, but she still prevails.
* From ''[[Thousand Shinji]]'', we have 35 Special Forces agents under SEELE versus {{spoiler|four Rubric Marines.}} No contest. Justified as {{spoiler|WH 40k tech is just ''that'' much more advanced than modern tech.}} Quite a number of the fights fall this way too in ''[[The Open Door]]'', largely thanks to New!Chaos's [[Bigger Stick]].
** Seeing how {{spoiler|Space Marines are [[One-Man Army|One Man Armies]] with the Rubric Marines even more powerful since they're [[Animated Armor]] with force fields and fire bullets made out of hell which can tear normal [[Power Armour]] like tissue paper, it would take 600 Special Forces at least and even that with ''very'' heavy looses}}, so was this really a surprise?
Line 7:
** In fact, every major battle that Shinji has fought with the exception of Chapters Eight and Ten qualify.
* One of the biggest faults of crossing over two series with combatant protagonists is if the author turns every fight into a curb-stomp battle for the fandom they like better, even when it makes no sense, for example, for [[Fullmetal Alchemist|Edward Elric]] to be taking down 50+ [[Harry Potter|Death Eaters]] at once.
* ''[[Tiberium Wars (Fanfic)|Tiberium Wars]]'' has this happen pretty much anytime infantry go up against a Commando. At one point there's a drawn-out fight between a GDI soldier and a Nod Commando that only exists because the Commando was quite clearly toying with the soldier.
** Later on, this happens when the Nod army runs headlong into the {{spoiler|Mammoth Tanks}} of the GDI 2nd Heavy Armored. Specifically, the {{spoiler|''one thousand'' Mammoth Tanks}} of the GDI 2nd Heavy Armored.
* The ''[[Firefly]]'' fic ''[[Forward]]'' has this happening at the end of the "Mosaic" story arc, when {{spoiler|River, Jayne, and Mal take on and obliterate Ott's crew}}. Complete with ''[[Team Fortress 2]]'' references.
** Later on in "Second Interlude," {{spoiler|Echo beats Jubal Early unconscious in the span of a single second.}}
** In "Hunt," there's a cringe-worthy one where Kaylee fights a Hand of Blue. {{spoiler|Kaylee is in a power loader.}} Needless to say, it ends fast and messy. {{spoiler|For the Hand, that is.}}
* ''[http://www.tthfanfic.org/Story-19103/Meshakhad+ Fated.htm Fated]'' has a different version of the climactic battle at the end of [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|"Innocence"]]. {{spoiler|The Scoobies ambush Spike and the Judge at the factory. Buffy's blowing away the Judge with her ''BLOODY ROCKET LAUNCHER'' is followed by the Scoobies barraging the vampires with crossbows. Spike and the wounded Drusilla beat a hasty retreat through the sewers, leaving Spike's minions to get massacred.}}
* ''Sins of a Colonial Empire'' has one: 30 Colonial ships from BSG 2003, including 6 Battlestars Vs. 1 GDI ship. {{spoiler|''the GDI ship, which incidentally is mentioned as one of the most powerful ships in the galaxy wins, suffering only 17% damage to their shields, even after being hit with 6 nukes!'' }}
* In the ''[[Naruto]]'' fanfic ''[[Team 8]]'', the Naruto vs. Sasuke fight in the Chunin Exams results in this due to {{spoiler|Sasuke pushing Naruto's [[Berserk Button]]. Oops.}}
* Pretty much every battle in ''[[Eva Possibilities and Fusion Pandemonium]]'' is one of these. {{spoiler|Bardiel, who absorbed Saiyan DNA through brief physical contact with Goten, is the first of the Angels to be the ''giver'' of a curb-stomping, effortlessly beating down even Gotenks and [[SS 3]] Goku... and then Goku & Vegeta [[Fusion Dance|fuse]], and Gogeta effortlessly whomps Bardiel}}.
* In ''Buffy's Friday the 13th'', Jason hands one to Angel, stabbing through his shoulder and arm, and ending with him impaling Angel on the wall with his machete.
* Kyon, Yuki, and Tsuruya in ''[[Kyon: Big Damn Hero]]'' pull this off against two dozen Yakuza, with the first two doing practically all the fighting.
* In [[Dueling Unlimited]] we have a few duels that are completely one sided. The first is when {{spoiler|Santa Claus}} shows up to take on a villainous mercenary. The next four take place when Anti-Heroes/Anti-Villains Bat, Boa, Raven, and Dove pull off their [[Big Damn Heroes]] moment and curbstomp enemy forces. All these duels double as [[Crowning Moments Of Funny]].
* In ''[[MSLN Test Dummies]]'' {{spoiler|Hayate}} decides [[Idiot Ball|for whatever reason]] to try and take on Zead, who is a [[Captain Ersatz]] of the ''[[Terminator]]'', in close combat. It almost costs her her life.
* ''[[Christian Humber Reloaded]]'' has this when the [[God Mode Sue|main character]] fights virtually anyone, to the point at which the exceptions (such as him losing for most of the fight with Chridion) are less common than the straight examples, although some of this is due to a lack of description apart from the killing blows. In what appears to be the final battle, he manages to defeat [[Super-Powered Evil Side|Chaos Blade]] in three moves, then destroys the hordes of Chaos and much of the US army before killing the [[President Evil|corrupted President]] without any indications of being injured or having any difficulty.
* In [[White Devil of the Moon]], [[Lyrical Nanoha|Nanoha]] is able to kill [[Sailor Moon|Jadeite]] with a single Divine Buster attack. When Tuxedo Kamen and the Inner Senshi attack Fate and Arf on two occasions to prevent her from keeping them away from Nanoha, she is able to defeat them easily, although she suspects that things would have gone differently if they had been at their full potential.
* In ''[[Dragon Age: The Crown of Thorns|Dragon Age the Crown of Thorns]]'', {{spoiler|the Sloth Demon's strongest form, like a werewolf, gets its rear handed to it, thoroughly, by dwarven commonnercommoner warden Faren Brosca, in single combat, even though it had been thrashing everyone else up to that point, including the protagonist. This is because the DC had made contact with it directly the moment it morphed and gained an understanding of how his Fade realm worked, then instinctively began to ignore all imposed limitation much like Sloth was doing. [[Flash Step]] battle ensues.}}
** In the same tale, {{spoiler|Uldred is killed instantly because the main cast doesn't wait for him to transform into the Pride Demon form.}}
* Virtually every battle from ''[[Naruto Veangance Revelaitons]]'' involving [[God Mode Sue|Ronan]] is this. Especially notable is the beginning of Chapter 4, in which Ronan severely injures Orochimaru in the first sentence and forces him to retreat in the second, despite only just having started the fight at the end of the previous chapter.
* In the ''[[Tamers Forever Series]]'' {{spoiler|Chaosgallantmon delivers one of these to the soveriegns.}}
** {{spoiler|Daemon is given one from Crimson Mode}}
Line 35:
*** Really, it's a Good Thing that the four [[Actual Pacifist|are not interested in combat]].
**** Especially Ringo, a key player in every [[Curb Stomp Battle]] in the book.
* ''[[A Hero (fan work)|A Hero]]'' has [[Doctor Who|Dalek Sec]] going up against [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica|a witch]]. It ends with the witch being vaporized via [[Stuff Blowing Up|Maximum]] [[One-Hit Kill|Extermination]].
** Earlier, we have Dalek Sec being {{spoiler|utterly destroyed by [[Physical God|Kriemhild]] [[Planet Eater|Gretchen]] Thankfully, Sec gets better.}}
* ''[[Imperfect Metamorphosis (Fanfic)|Imperfect Metamorphosis]]'' pits a [[Explosive Overclocking|limitedly-powered]]-[[Heroic RROD|up-Marisa]] (was also supplied with twelve of Yukari's absolutely insanely over the top Spellcards), [[A God I Am|Mima]], [[Butterfly of Death and Rebirth|Yuyuko]], [[Master Swordsman|Youmu]], [[I Love Nuclear Power|Utsuho]], [[Psychic Powers|Satori]], [[Kill It with Fire|Orin]], [[Person of Mass Destruction|Flandre]], [[Winds of Destiny Change|Remilia]], [[Time Master|Sakuya]] and [[Physical God|Yuk]][[Reality Warper|ari]] against [[Green Thumb|Yuu]][[Eldritch Abomination|ka]] {{spoiler|and [[Shinigami|Elly]], who Yuuka brought in to even things up a bit after Yukari cheated and brought in 11 people to a supposedly one-on-one duel}}. Yuuka laughingly curbstomps the Scarlet Devil and Underground forces using one quater of her power {{spoiler|(possibly permakilling Satori and Flandre, or trapping them in a [[Fate Worse Than Death]])}}, and then brings three quaters of her power to bear against [[Physical God|Yuk]][[Reality Warper|ari]] and gets a draw where both sides are too damaged to continue, with Yukari in worse shape. The only battle she 'lost' was against Marisa, Mima, Yuyuko and Youmu, and even then she was only usin 1/4 of her power, and she had '[[Cute Witch|Team]] [[Cute Ghost Girl|Halloween]]' down to the ropes during the later part of the fight. Yuuka curbstomped most of the upper tier of the [[Touhou]]-verse at once without ever bringing her full power to bear.
* Most of the fights in [http://www.tohokingdom.com/articles/kwc.htm Kaiju War Chronicles] are fairly even, but some of them end up being this. Most of them involve [[Physical God|Bagan]] during the "Bagan Trilogy" (Bagan vs Monster X, Bagan vs. ''Everyone'', and Bagan vs Everyone: Fallout). First he utterly ''destroys'' Monster X with ease and the title of the other two isn't lying, it literally takes basically the ''entire'' roster just to stand a ghost of a chance against him.
* [[Ultimate Sleepwalker (Fanfic)|Sleepwalker]] ends up fighting a [[The Incredible Hulk|Hulk]] being driven nearly insane with rage tearing through New York City. Nothing Sleepwalker does even fazes the Hulk, whether it's impaling him with a large barbed spear or electrocuting the Hulk by connecting him to the New York power grid. The Hulk rapidly heals from all of Sleepwalker's attacks, and while he doesn't manage to hit Sleepwalker too often, the blows he does land are quite literally the most brutal attacks he's ever felt. It's only because Sleepwalker noticed that the Hulk's anger was being increased by his [[Demonic Possession]] and tried to use his warp vision to free the Hulk from it that he managed to survive.
* ''[[Queen of All Oni]]'': The fight against the sages in their shrine is entirely in their favor; Brothers Dark and Gray hold the advantage against the Shadow Hand and the J-Team the whole time, while Brother Light doesn't even seem to exert himself while continually tossing Jade and Hak Foo out of the inner shrine.
** When Ikazuki temporarily usurped control of the Shadow Hand from Jade, it was greatly aided by his samurai wiping the floor with her ninja.
Line 50:
** At the climax of the St. Galleria arc, after Ensei was able to give {{spoiler|Judgemaster Cid}} proof of {{spoiler|Vaticus' crimes}}, {{spoiler|Judgemaster Cid}} sent his {{spoiler|personal guard}} to assist The Heretics defeat the {{spoiler|Archbishop Guard}}. The back-up easily defeated those that went up against them. Many who saw them were in awe.
** When {{spoiler|Veis and Villi}} were introduced, {{spoiler|Veis}} defeated the leader of a group of would-be thieves easily.
* In the Megacrossover [https://web.archive.org/web/20180711210910/http://s7.zetaboards.com/AntiFanfiction/topic/1015048/1/#newVampire Massacre: Fall of the Nosferatu], The fights between Diva fromm Blood+ and Damon (Vampire Diaries) Vampire Hunter D vs Alucard (Castlevania) and Hellsing's Alucard vs Simon Bellmont (Catlevania) are this trope.
* ''[[Ponies Make War (Fanfic)|Ponies Make War]]'': General Esteem vs anypony that isn't Rarity, Twilight's mother, or Twilight herself.
** Nihilus vs Luna, round one. Though it should be noted that the latter was exhausted and drained at the time.
** {{spoiler|[[Physical God|God]]-mode}} Twilight vs anyone who isn't [[Big Bad|Titan]] himself (and that includes his Puppet avatars).
Line 62:
** Applejack's first encounter with Queen!Twilight's magically constructed [[Mooks]] was over very quickly. {{spoiler|Unfortunately, she lost.}}
** When Applejack and Rarity are breaking out of the castle, they absolutely mow down all of the soldiers in their way. {{spoiler|At least until they're confronted by the brainwashed Princess Luna.}}
* From the incomplete ''[[Sailor Moon Expanded]]'' side story ''[http://www.oocities.org/tokyo/temple/1810/zeongene.txt Zeon Genesis Bogosity]'', Titanite/Sailor Polaris smashing [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|Matariel, the ninth Angel]] with a giant [[Hyperspace Mallet]]. For [[Bonus Points]], she does it while [[Teleport Spam]]ming to keep it from targeting her, while chanting:
{{quote|[[Slayers| "Brightness beyond dawn,
Turquoise beyond blood that flows,
Servant of the Eternal City,
In Serenity's name,
I pledge myself to the light.
All the evil that threatens earth will be punished
By the power of the Senshi.
MALLET SLAVE!]]}}
:One hit, and it's flattened.
* ''[https://my.w.tt/0GRmkI3heU Final Stand of Death]'' has Redd kicking Frankenstein's monster in a style of [[Kick Chick| kick]] she was known before [[Involuntary Battle to the Death| being forced on]] [[Celebrity Deathmatch]] against a [[Hanson| trio of brothers]] and becoming a mecha, like the rest of her team. This catches Monica's attention.
