Dead Fantasy: Difference between revisions

Line 27:

* [[Badass Normal]]: Hitomi is the only one so far who doesn't use her own magic. She makes up for it with enough [[Charles Atlas Superpower]] to throw chunks of building around.

** [[Badass Abnormal]]: Hitomi, when {{spoiler|she gets some materias}}.

* [[Battle Amongst the Flames]]: Tifa vs. Hitomi, with the expected straight use of [[Convection Schmonvection]].

* [[Battle Amongst the Flames]]: Tifa vs. Hitomi, with the expected straight use of [[Convection, Schmonvection]].

* [[Beam Spam]]: Kairi can do this while in her Final Form analog. It's pretty obviously a [[Shout Out]] to the same use of the trope in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II (Video Game)|Kingdom Hearts II]]''.

* [[Beauty Is Never Tarnished]]:

** Played straight in Parts I, II and IV.

Line 55:

** Subverted in Part IV, where {{spoiler|[[Doppelganger Attack|ninja clones]] prove superior to [[Summon Magic|the Aeons]]}}.

** Deconstructed in Part V, where individual ninja mooks go down like tenpins, but enough of them can push Tifa to her limits far more than any single fighter we've seen. Judging by what little we see of Kasumi's fight it went down in a similar way.

* [[Convection Schmonvection]]: Part II. Under certain conditions, even ''running on lava'' has no consequences, other than [[Incendiary Exponent|setting shoes on fire]].

* [[Convection, Schmonvection]]: Part II. Under certain conditions, even ''running on lava'' has no consequences, other than [[Incendiary Exponent|setting shoes on fire]].

* [[Cool Guns]]: The soldiers at the end of Part V appear to be armed with H&K G36 rifles with silencers, and what looks like ACOG scopes.

* [[Cross Counter]]: Happens between Tifa and Hitomi at the start of Part III.

Line 96:

* [[Half the Man He Used To Be]]: Tifa cuts two ninja in half in Part V, using both the vertical and horizontal varieties.

* [[Hammerspace]]: Where Yuna keeps her ether bottles in Part II.

* [[How Much More Can He Take|How Much More Can She Take]]: EVERYONE. Getting shot ''in the head at point blank'' or hit by an axe, which can ''cut buildings in half''. No problem! Tifa is a particularly [[Egregious]] example.

* [[How Much More Can He Take?|How Much More Can She Take]]: EVERYONE. Getting shot ''in the head at point blank'' or hit by an axe, which can ''cut buildings in half''. No problem! Tifa is a particularly [[Egregious]] example.

* [[Hyperspace Arsenal]]: Where the girls keep their weapons when they need to grab something.

** Yuna's guns are kept on her lower back with [[Sticks to The Back]]

Line 146:

** Naminé has ''keyblade wings'' with very versatile applications as seen in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6KQ_eYyhok this preview for DFVIII.] (spoilers for newly introduced characters)

* [[Punched Across the Room]]: And kicked, and thrown, and [[Blown Across the Room|blasted]]. Tifa and Hitomi even perform double knockdowns on each other this way. The laws of physics must be out to lunch. Or they're [[Rule of Cool|too busy watching]].

* [[Rapid Fire Fisticuffs]]: Tifa pulls off a few kick versions of this in Part II. Hastega is a glorious thing.

* [[Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs]]: Tifa pulls off a few kick versions of this in Part II. Hastega is a glorious thing.

* [[Reverse Grip]]: Kairi holds Oblivion like this.

* [[Roboteching]]: Employed by Yuna's [[Depleted Phlebotinum Shells|bullets]].

* [[Royals Who Actually Do Something]]: Depending on who you count as "royal" there are three [[Everything's Better With Princesses|princesses]], two high priestess-esque [[White Magician Girl|White Magician Girls]], and one [[Royal Blood|clan leader/king]] dishing out asskicking at any given time.

* [[Rule of Cool]]

* [[Second Hour Superpower]]: Hitomi being able to punch the {{spoiler|materia}} out of Tifa at the end of their fight, but not at the beginning. Why can she USE said {{spoiler|materia}} immediately, even though Tifa was the only one with any? [[New Powers As the Plot Demands|Anyone's guess.]]

* [[Second-Hour Superpower]]: Hitomi being able to punch the {{spoiler|materia}} out of Tifa at the end of their fight, but not at the beginning. Why can she USE said {{spoiler|materia}} immediately, even though Tifa was the only one with any? [[New Powers As the Plot Demands|Anyone's guess.]]

* [[Set Swords to Stun]]: Almost everyone is being blasted in the face with magic. ''How'' are they still standing exactly?

Line 159:

* [[Serial Escalation]]

* [[Sleep Cute]]: Yuna blacking out on Cloud's shoulder as he drives is an "awwwww" worthy moment.

* [[Shout Out]]:

* [[Shout-Out]]:

** Some of Tifa's [[Drunken Boxing]] moves are lifted straight from [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pf45hmO_1ak Jackie Chan.]

** Hitomi's [[Finishing Move|last attack]] in Part III is identical to [[Soul Eater (Manga)/Characters|Black Star's Big Wave technique]]. Some of her moves before that look suspiciously like counterattacks from ''[[Tekken]]''.

Line 203:

* [[We Have Reserves]]: A possible explanation for why {{spoiler|Hayate lets his ninja fight against Tifa, dying in the dozens, eventually weighing her down with numbers.}} And he does that in spite of the fact that he can {{spoiler|down her at pretty much any time he wants.}}

** Ninja rule in the universe is if you can't defend yourself in battle you die. Ryu kills and can be killed in training missions in [[Ninja Gaiden]].

* [[Worthy Opponent]]: Possibly Hitomi and Tifa. Supported by one interpretation of Hitomi {{spoiler|slapping Hayate after he and his ninja [[Zerg Rush]] absolutely brutalize Tifa}}.

* [[Your Eyes Can Deceive You]]: After getting hit with Tifa's Darkness spell in Part III, Hitomi gets right back up and starts fighting blind. ''{{spoiler|And winning}}''.
