Line 21:
* Pictured above is from a silly little bit from [[Full Metal Panic!]] it's subverted in that to do that it took weeks if not months to code all the movements to make it look fluid and it's further subverted when one of the [[A Mech by Any Other Name|Arm Slaves]] slips off at the end and crashes into some stuff.
* The [[Mobile Suit Gundam Wing|Gundam Heavyarms]], despite being the heaviest Gundam in its series, can do circus acrobatics just because its pilot can. Later taken to ridiculous heights when it does a spinning flip carrying four in-scale gatling guns.
== Live Action TV ==
* ''[[Super Sentai]]'' and ''[[Power Rangers]]'' have embraced this more and more as the series' mecha fights have slowly shifted from [[People in Rubber Suits]] to CGI. Take the [[Power Rangers SPD|Delta Squad Megazord]], which uses a lot of diving and rolling in its [[Gun Fu]].
== Film ==▼
* The Showa ''[[Godzilla]]'' series played this trope completely straight, as well some of the Millennium films, particularly ''Godzilla vs. Megaguirus'' and ''Godzilla: Final Wars''. The Heisei series attempted to avert this as part of the filmmaker's attempts to make Godzilla [[Darker and Edgier]]. In lieu of the exciting battles seen during the Showa era, inspired by pro-wrestling, Heisei kaiju slowly waddle towards eachother, [[Beam Spam|spew lasers back and forth]], and when they're feeling really ambitious, will mix things up with some [[Wimp Fight|shoulder bumping]]. Fans complain about the fight sequences of the Heisei era to this day.▼
