Curb Stomp Battle: Difference between revisions

Line 24:

Sometimes, too, a battle logically ''should'' be a curbstomp, but isn't, and no real explanation is ever offered as to why the winner won. This can be, in its own way, just as dissatisfying as a curb stomp that makes no sense.

Compare [[Pendulum War]], which is where sides take turns to perform this trope upon each other. For the [[Professional Wrestling]] equivalent, see [[Squash Match]]. In video games, see [[Flawless Victory]]. [[Breather Boss|Breather Bosses]] and [[Anticlimax Boss|Anticlimax Bosses]] are the types most likely to be on the receiving end of a [[Curb Stomp Battle]]. If this is done to the ''heroes'', on the other hand, it becomes a [[Hopeless Boss Fight]], often from a [[Hero Killer]]. Compare [[No Sell]]. Contrast [[Story-Breaker Team-Up]]. If the curbstompee manages to get a few good hits in to show that they're not totally helpless, it's a [[Curb Stomp Cushion]].

[[One-Hit Kill]] is a subtrope that's [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin]].
