Ground-Shattering Landing: Difference between revisions

 

== Anime and Manga ==

* Also in ''[[Dragon Ball]] Z'', when the Saiyans land their space pods. Raditz's makes quite a crater, and Nappa and Vegeta's actually destroy buildings before leaving their mark on the Earth. And that's not to mention what happens during the fights that the characters get into.

** The series also features Ground Shattering Takeoffs - As the characters get stronger, the [[Chunky Updraft]] climbs to ridiculous levels, usually culminating in a violent explosion just as a character launches into flight.

* [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] can do this with the bounce/bound attack in some of the games. Knuckles can also do this.

* Shogun type enemies in [[The Dishwasher]]: Vampire smile do this either when they spawn or when they leap in the middle of combat. And at higher difficulties, ''[[For Massive Damage|they really, really hurt.]]''

* Ezio in ''[[Assassin's Creed Revelations]]'' does this to a wooden platform during the opening cinematic, after escaping from his impending hanging by wrapping the rope around the hangman's neck and jumping off, untying himself while dangling in midair, then falling at least three stories and finishing with a [[Three-Point Landing]]. Better, this is [[Canon]], as gameplay starts immediately following the event, from which Ezio [[Unflinching Walk|walks away]] [[Made of Iron|without a scratch]]. Did we mention that he's [[Badass Grandpa|52]] at the time?

* You can do this everytime you respawn in [[Section 8 (video game)]]'s multiplayer, complete with [[Three-Point Landing]]... which is to be expected since 'respawning' includes dropping in (Being shot out of a [[Drop Ship]]) from 15 kilometers above ground with nothing but your [[Power Armor]]. While you do have airbrakes to give you a somewhat softer landing, there's always the possibility of some self-induced [[Death From Above]] on some poor sap who forgot to look up to see you coming.

* [[Dishing Out Dirt|Earthbenders]] in ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' and its [[Sequel Series]] ''[[The Legend of Korra]]'' can do this to greater or lesser degrees.

** Also to [[Not the Fall That Kills You|soften their landing]]
