Line 153:
== Video Games ==
* To beat {{spoiler|1=GLaDOS}} in ''[[Portal (series)|Portal]]'', you have to do this with some missile turrets, either standing close by and aiming the turrets, or using portals to send a missile over.
* Used in ''[[Super Mario Bros.|Super Mario Galaxy]]'' to trick Bowser into performing a [[Ground Pound]] over a glass cover. Said cover was on top of molten hot liquid that would burn Bowser.
** Of course this actually harkens back to ''[[Super Mario Bros.]] 3'', where Mario tricks Bowser into destroying the floor, which covered a [[Bottomless Pit]].
Line 169 ⟶ 168:
** ''[[Resident Evil 3 Nemesis]]'' has the Nemesis. If you are skilled or lucky, you can get him to kill zombies for you, since he destroys ''anything'' in his path to get to the player.
* Averted in the fight against El Odio in ''[[Psychonauts]]'', interestingly, as not only is it a [[Bullfight Boss]] in terms of the trope definition, it's a [[Bullfight Boss]] in literal terms. He's rather intelligent for a boss of his kind and probably won't end up touching the wall at all.
* The mooks in ''[[Battletoads]]: Battlemanics'' automatically counterattack when they take damage, so if you get one to hit another they'll fight to the death.
* One boss in ''[[Fable (video game)|Fable I]]'' can't be damaged and always strike you. Every few attacks, he will loose a brutal assault that, if dodged, stuck his swords in the ground. This leaves him vulnerable for a while.
Line 190 ⟶ 188:
* In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] downloadable game ''[[Video Game/Sakura Samurai|Sakura Samurai]]'', timing your dodges and attacks is the key to victory, as opposed to [[Button Mashing]]. You can dodge most enemies' attacks normally, but it's more effective to time your dodges and backsteps just as the enemy is about to attack, then closing the gap with an attack of your own. Doing this properly earns you "Precision Points", which can be traded in for gold.
* ''[[Fist of the North Star]]: Ken's Rage'': During the second phase of Kenshiro's boss fight with Shin in Chapter 2 of Legend Mode, Shin will use an [[Unblockable Attack|unblockable charge attack]] that will cause severe damage if it connects. If you position Ken in front of a pillar and then dodge at the last second, Shin's hand will get stuck for a few seconds, allowing you to get a few free hits in.
* ''[[Vega Strike]]'' allows a variation of this as a desperation move - if you are under attack from something you can't really deal with (yet), try flying toward something big and armed with turrets (a capship or space station armed better than Habitat or Mining) and buzz within a kilometre or so before it while under fire. In the unlikely (in the early game area, at least) case it was not hostile to your attackers already, after a few stray shells scratch its paint it will be. You still need to pay attention to avoid running into the station or ships it may launch/dock while dodging shots and not be caught between one of those turrets and its target when the [[Beam Spam]] starts.
